It's interesting quoting yourself..... :lol:

In response to a pm this morning I was able to get both Quickpet and the browser selector working in lupusuper. Both are working normally.

Hello, people.

FWIW, I made a fresh compilation of icecat-17.0.1 for
Lucid Puppy 5.2.8.6, and on it! You can get it through here:
url]http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 336#731287 [/url]

opera is a very fine browser, I've been using it since version 3,
but I needed a default browser stronger than midori, for those
rare times when a site slams the door on opera and it shuts down...

The cause is usually that some webmasters still believe that
MacroHard's Internet Explorer is a gift from God... :evil: Oh, well...

Enjoy! BFN.

mobile phone icons

#2494 Post by goolwa_pup »

Hi All

Just a query with 5.2.8-6 (now my preferred OS on both lappie and desktop).....I have a samsung phone which I can connect via USB and mount the internal drive and the extra mini SD card I installed in it. No problems transferring files etc. However when I connect and mount the phones drives I get no desktop icon ....is there a way to have icons appear on the desktop as say a usb (flash) drive would normally do?

Cheers

Craig

So, what did you do to make them work?
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Naturally there was an easy fix I overlooked..... :lol: The easy fix is......

There is a hidden file in /root/.quickpet/repos.conf .It is missing the term "sulu"

The incorrect line is:
lupu|luci|luma|lupq)

and needs to be:
lupu|luci|luma|lupq|sulu)

Corrected file is attached.Just rename to remove the "tar.gz"....... necessary to upload it.

Tested and working correctly.

This provides a version for verifying that all fixes to accommodate kernels 3.x are in place in 5.2.8.6, and whether anyone benefits from the newer set of drivers in that kernel.

I would prefer that we settle on one "3.0" version based on a kernel already supported in the official puppy sources library. That would be 3.0.66. But is that even worth doing, given that there are so many newer alternative puppies about?

Hello, Richard.

I'd say it's well worth it,

1) because of the "brand", which in turn is known because

2) Lucid Puppy has passed the test of time. The scripts and programs
offered in Lucid Puppy, given the large user base and the careful edits
over time of its various developers (including you!) :), have been well
tested, and everything just works, without any surprises that would have
you go "Eh?".

The latter is unfortunately the case for some of the newer puppies, which
don't have enough testers.

AFAIC, the underpinnings can change to kernel what-have-you, as long
as Lucid Puppy's programs and scripts continue working without a glitch.

My 2 ¢. Bye for now.

Several kernels may need several new threads ..

About the "repos.conf" file, playdayz has recommended that fix to me. It will be in the next set of uploads, along with an updated list of official lucid packages that includes the proprietary video drivers for k2.6.37 (3HD).

Playdayz has also pointed me to yet another kernel-3.x version of lupu to add to the set. Now we have essentially three-headed-dog versions for k2.6.37, k3.0.25 and k3.2.13! Would it make more sense to settle on one 3.x version? Is there any need to make that the same as for precise pup? Is there any need to keep any of the in-between versions?

Also, is the kernel-swap process so tricky that I could not do it myself? Or would one of you volunteer to create the best version that works?

Regarding the dust settling: I am still verifying that the libreoffice SFS implementation actually works. Still messing with java to be sure it is added correctly, without error messages.

That is playdayz' and my goal for lupu. My fear about going too far with the 3.x kernels is that we may run into incompatibilities with other functions such as ALSA and udev versions and who-knows-what-else.

Sorry about forgetting the link to the download page (158):

Just for informational purposes....... the k-3.2.13 version appears to be working well. If memory serves, that kernel was compiled by Pemasu and used in Saluki and Carolina.Already has the Quickpet fix too.

Personally, I'm planning on sticking with the two original kernel versions...2.6.33.2 and 2.6.37.6....but I'll try to help a bit with testing.

repoes for the Puppy Package Manager

The Puppy Package Manager in the lupu-5.2.8.6 seems missing the repoes,
puppy-common and puppy-noarch.

Both 3.0 and 3.2 kernels are "longterm" kernels. However, 3.0 support finishes this month, while 3.2 in 2016.
So the original (for "happy customers") and the latest 3.2 (3.2.50+) would make sense and keep maintenance (and hopefully any trouble) to the minimum possible.

Maybe in a year or so try 3.10-LTS :shock: :D

Made a DVD-RW using "lupusuper-5.2.8.6-20131012.iso"...
Modofied the isolinux.cfg file in the iso to include pmedia=ataflash...
Renamed the iso to "lupusuper-5.2.8.6-20131012-ataflash.iso" and made a new CD.
Both seem to be working just fine with this "new" 2012 desktop PC. :D
Wiped the 1st CD.

Now all I need is to find the time to tweak it to suit my likes. :D

Reporting success on all fronts after 12 hours of testing the new "sulu"
version. Works like a charm! It picked up my 5.2.8.6 lupusave without
raising an eyebrow, I just needed to change the beginning of the 2fs
filename from lupu to sulu.

Good work, rerwin! :)

I am not sure what one looses with a newer kernel, but there are so many AWESOME new Puppies out there, but they do not have the repo or number of pets.

Just the last 24 hours i tested

Simplicity 13.10
FatDog64 630rc1
AlphaOS 12.1

I think the strength of Lupu or is it Lucid, is in the hidden treasures in the forum, pets and SFS that are not in the repo or in the QuickPet.
These are goodies like=


Shareinternet (as custom as it gets)
Nwipe
LHMP
Tixati

Could it be that these and probably lots of others are left behind if one starts competing with other Puppy's that has newer stuff under the hood, but that are not allrounders like 5.2.8?

If I was to compare 5.2.8 with something on wheels, it would be this thing here that i used to have...

What i have been missing the most is to round up e'm lost pets in the forum and elsewhere and get them presented in a good way like QuickPet.

Look at Quickpet in Simplicity. It was surprisingly amounts of software there.

I think its a bit like of it will not run 5.2.8, you jump on to Slitaz for support for older hardware and even 486 compatibility.

In my view 5.2.8 should not join the Kernel race, but rather round up em lost pets there out in the wild.

I test Lupusuper now and report. Just need to reboot:-)
