Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 - Updated ISO Version 005 - APR 05 2012

[playdayz]

Obvious problems first....... unable to download browser by clicking the "browse" icon..... "Sorry,your package is not found". Same for QuickPet. No problem downloading with the PPM though.

James C, Here is the fix for Quickpet and the Browser Installer. The file is /root/.quickpet/repos.conf. I got too fancy with the name sulu and Quickpet didn't know what to do with it. This is only necessary in Sulu.

[rerwin]

Richard are all of these fixes in Lupuplus and Lupulibre?

They are in lupuplus with the update-3 package, but not in lupulibre. You can install patch-8 into lupulibre, though. I hope you and others will run with it awhile before playdayz adds it to the ISOs.

I am in the phase of my career where programming is so much fun I do it for nothing. We were warned in my initial class on the IBM System/360 that this could happen. Thanks for your and bigpup's enthusiastic comments.

That fixed it. Thanks.

re: Just for Fun - Super Lupu with the 3.0.25 kernel from Racy

NFS works fine with this build and the 3.0.25 kernel.
Which was not the case with the latest Racy build.

thanks

Upcoming Schedule

Now that I have finished playing with the 3.x kernel, next up will be an update version of Lupu Plus and Lupu Plus Libre that will include the amazing and impressive list of tweaks in rerwin's message above.

I'm confused.

Are all the fixes already in Lupu 528.005? If not, why is Lupu Plus and Lupu Plus Libre being updated in isolation.

[rerwin]

playdayz,
I am concerned that the package you require to be installed upon first-boot of lupulibre will not be retained if the user makes a remaster of lupulibre and whatever else has been installed. But I think the solution is simple.

The package merely adds some files to /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/MIME-icons and /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/MIME-types. However, those subdirectories are remastered only from the "puppy" layer (the original lupu_528.sfs file), so the package files in the "pupsave" layer are ignored. The solution would seem to be for you to merge those two subdirectories into the /tmp/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ directory during your remaster to make lupulibre. Do that at the point where the remasterer lets you add files to the /tmp/root directory. That way, they become a permanent part of lupulibre and do not require an unusual measure to be taken by each installer of lupulibre. If those files would not impact the non-libre versions of lupu528, you might include them an all versions, for consistency.

Please consider this before making the next version of lupulibre. Thanks.
Richard

Yes, that is exactly it rerwin. I made Lupu Libre and then humblesoul noted that it could be improved by including the icons and run actions that are in the package you mention. So the next time I make Lupu Libre or Lupu Plus Libre they will be built-in. Thanks.

Lupu Plus and Lupu Plus Libre being updated in isolation.

ICPUG, I do the updates on a revolving basis--and I just did lupu-528.005. Lupu Plus is next. As rerwin said in the notes to patch-3, it would be good for people who are using regular Lupu 5.2.8.005 to install and test that patch. Thanks.

They are in lupuplus with the update-3 package, but not in lupulibre. You can install patch-8 into lupulibre, though. I hope you and others will run with it awhile before playdayz adds it to the ISOs.

you date yourself. my first was the 5150 living in Silicon Valley even took couple programming classes to find out I didn't have it. funny naming scheme IBM had the smaller number would take up a room.

would you say computer advances today that the mainframe 360 can be contained in a laptop today? it's hard to get a perspective.

installed rewin patch 8 to lupulibre. rebooted to desktop but no "two barks."

didn't have the "two barks" prior to patch 8, iirc may not have had on pfix=ram install of lupulibre.

Great to have so many choices of 528-05 but why all mixed up in the same thread?

If you rebooted with the patch installed (into a new pupsave file), then I would not expect the barks. They are done only when there is no pupsave file or -partition involved (pupstate 5).

Notes: 1) If you have previously used the Lucid 5.2.8 Live CD,
it may have copied the lupu_528.sfs file to your hard drive.

When the new CD boots it will use that lupu_528.sfs without telling you,
so you need to delete it from your drive, or rename it, before you boot
the new CD. This will happen even if the lupu_528.sfs is in a directory.

2) If you use a frugal install,. a simple trick is to download the ISO,
click it to open it, and copy the lupu_528.sfs into the directory
hat holds the frugal install, replacing the old one.

Oops good that you told us. Could save hours or days of frustration.
So obviously this is not easy to build into the iso to be aware of this
and to do something about it? Maybe say Error you need to rename
that file or something may scrw up. and then tell what is here above?

Me not good at logic don't dare to test that version now I am not sure
how to follow that advice. Rename maybe is easier than delete.
One would need to copy it to a safe place and then remember
when to restore it?

after reboot with patch 8 applied to lupulibre wl recognized on wan0 by sns made
the wifi connection on Broadcom Corporation BCM4313. previously it used eth1.

can report the fix to umount for partitions greater than 9 works.

the click-to-mount file function works here. will continue to test next few days.
thanks

You may also want to consider this PPM improvement that allows searching multiple repos with multiple terms (eg video edit). Given the Luci/Ubuntu extended repos may be more useful than in any other puppy.
There is also a Lupu-compatible pet that also includes the pupy-common and puppy-noarch repos, but I'm sure rerwin can do better

I have not seen the following in a very long time.

On boot screen -

Waiting for modules to complete loading . . . USB 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

What is causing the numbers following USB ?

I don't know, except that I have seen this when experimenting with the 3.x kernel in Lucid.

Youtube plays videos without Flashplayer!

I was testing this pet of Iron 18 and it played some (not all) videos on youtube without flashplayer being installed, using html5. I didn't have to do anything--it just happened.

Super Lupu will load but does not detect my realtek usb wireless 8192cu module...can someone please compile this module for the new kernel for me....

I will not be supporting Sulu myself. It doesn't work as well as i hoped it might. My usb webcam has some problems that it does not have with either lucid or 3HD. I am afraid there is just too much distance between Lucid and the 3.x kernel. So far, I don't really see that it adds anything, or solves any problems. I did use the 3.0.25 kernel from racy thinking that drivers compiled for racy should work.

This works for me on first test mavrothal It is necessary to restart PPM after adding repos, I think.

Full install of Sulu-001.

Auto connect to internet - ok
Added Audacious 3.22 - sounds great
