Two-Headed Dog 5.2.8 is nicknamed Finlandia
:shock: Developer burn out :?

As usual our hardest working Puppys apologise for providing yet another great release :roll:

As far as I am concerned Finlandia is the latest Lucid. :D
I have been wasting my time running Slacko and Android
and avoiding hordes of marauding London teenagers
as reported with frenzied glee by the marauding hordes of media

Well OK just updated the wiki a little . . .

Thanks Larry and everyone who provided 'Findlandia' :)

What can be done about this? I've installed the flashblock addon, this blocks the large bannerad on right hand side (I'm talking about 'all-new' version of yahoo mail).

How are you booting - off the CD, a flash drive, a frugal install?

I checked the CD and it boots fine. So the problem is with your hardware.

Just now updated my Lupu-526 to Luci-528.
Here's how:

1. Made a bootable Luci-528 CD-RW.

Booted Wary-512, and...
2. Deleted the old SFS file that was sitting beside the old 3fs file in its 04-Lupu folder [renamed it to 04-Luci] on a partition on an internal HDD, and replaced it with the new luci_528.sfs file.

3. Renamed the old lupusave.3fs to lucisave.3fs.

4. Placed the new Luci-528 CD-RW disk in the optical drive and closed the drawer, and rebooted the PC.

5. The 3fs file was found and updated...
The SFS file was loaded.
Got to the desktop OK, and all was just as it should be.
Typing this from there. :D

Did a frugal install on HDD on my Acer Netbook D250 10" screen with intel chips set. Used nosmp just in case it is needed.

The automatic set up chose 800 x 600 but I changed to 1024 x 768 and that worked. Haha why does it work on this one when it always fails or Dpup and Squeeze and Spup versions? What is different?

Tested Firefox 5 and looked at pics and videos and used streaming video from local TV station but did not test of PPM or other such things.

All looks okay as far as I know.

Yes,frugal install.I placed the 3 files into a test folder as I always do and use grub to boot it.
The only difference is with the lupu/luci sfs
This is the grub line I use:-

title Testing4
root (hd0,6)
kernel /testing4/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd pdev1=sda9 psubdir=testing4 xforcevesa nomodeset
initrd /testing4/initrd.gz

I checked with my own frugal install and it worked fine.

Why are vmlinuz and initrd.gz on sda7 while the sfs file is on sda9?

I should also mention that I did this...
So that a pupsave on an internal HDD is treated as though a pupsave on a Flash drive...
And then...

I always do this [and this to prevent a spurious warning] to my Lupu's, and now Luci.
This so that I'm then able to choose if/when to manually save the session during the session, and...
To choose at shut-down/reboot "to save or not to save".

My apologies rcrsn51.

UNRAR ?

#29 Post by nancy reagan »

Read somewhere UNRAR would be included.

Being a low-profile user wonder "HOWTO" run it.

Don't know about 'sh's, pins, symlinking etc etc.


Thanks for the distro heavy job pity for not taking Bigpup's advice "Take a break"

Unrar is part of luci. The easiest way to use it is to run Utilities > Xarchieve and open a .rar file in it. Clicking on a .rar file should also open Xarchieve. If that doesn't work, it is probably easily fixed. Just let me know.

aarf,

Fresh frugal install.

No errors, no problems with Startmount.

try again. same error as before. the gui wont start at all to do the configuration. dont get to the re-boot stage.
md5sum was correct and it is written to my internal sda2, not my faulty sdcard reader. have pwidges -2.3.6 installed. stopped pwidgets. stiil wont get to a startmount gui.

ok tried from scratch after pfix=ram and new pupsave and got to the startmount gui. and it works on reboot.
just realized that i had also jre1.6.0.24-20110216.sfs (symlinked) and devx528.sfs as well as pwidgets in the previous pupsave.
