In 5.X.10, I see the following message repeatedly (dmesg in console):

[shinobar]

Sorry for your inconvenience. Prepared a fix package.
http://shino.pos.to/linux/puppy/petget_shinobar_fix-20120105.pet
Clicking this fix package, shown 'Please wait' message(it doesn't disappear.), then restart X.

The problem was in the last part of /usr/local/petget/i18n_head, the function vercmp.
The fix package above need not and does not affect if you have already installed the petget-barry-kauler.

I'm using the live dvd with a save file.
I installed the petget-barry-kauler-0.0.1.pet and have installed a
couple of other pets with no problems.

I made a pet of htop-1.0 and installed that, I'll attach it to this
message.

5x10 is working well so far, my 5x10.3 has been running for close to 9
days so it's been working well.

Thanks Radky of the vattery-acpitool report. I dont have that error, but....I will create to pets, one for 2.6.39 kernel and another for 3.X kernels. I will use the previous working binaries with 2.6.39.

Thank you Shinobar of the quick response and fix update. I will test it asap.

[pemasu]

Just tested the Shinobars petget-fix-package. Now it works. I update here the Shinobars whole petget-package. The main thing with it is...if you have usb installation, Shinobars petget should save pet installations by using Puppy Package Manager (PPM) so that they are found and usable after reboot. Also uninstalling should work correctly. Ppl with hdd installations are not affected, so they can use Barrys or Shinobars....as they wish. The newest Barrys improvements are in both.

When I shut down the dvd tray opened to allow removing the dvd but it
continued to shut down so I ended up with a shut down computer and the
dvd tray wide open.
I suggest a "hit enter to continue" to give the user time to remove
the dvd, then have it shut the tray and poweroff.

odd error when I installed this one frugally. I had no prior save file.
I wanted to test to play a mp4 but there seems to be not mplayer there at all.

Nothing happens when I click on it it in menu. What could that be about?
I go to bed now so any suggestion what is going on will be dealt with after
a delay of some 10 hours when I have waken up

Hi pemasu & nooby

I also have a problem with gnome-mplayer - says libgmtk is missing and this is confirmed by pfind...

This time I haven't loaded any pets except for flashplayer and the petget fix...

[pemasu]

Peebee. Good pick. Thank you !!!
Woof has picked wrong gnome-mplayer package. The one without that libgmtk.
Here is the right one. It is quite small, so you can install it as it is...or extract it with rox right click and grap just the libgmtk libs to the /usr/lib.
I am atm creating packages to the bug fix release and just in time...I can fix the gnome-mplayer.
