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

Could it maybe need the usb delay code in the boot?
I am too lazy to look it up hopefully somebody remember.

pusb=wait 6 or something

[smokey01]

If you mean in the menu.lst booting from GRUB

timeout 10

Will wait for ten seconds before default OS is loaded.

Or is it this one:

usb-storage.delay_use=
[UMS] The delay in seconds before a new device is
scanned for Logical Units (default 5).

Info from here:http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation ... meters.txt

Let's Call This Testing for Now! At least it's on the fast server

This is a new version from the previous 9.0.1 pet. This is 9.0.1-2. The code below is implemented in this new pet.

Firefox 9.0.1 seems very sensitive to how it is started. One way it starts but it locks up. Another way it doesn't lock up but flashplayer doesn't work. This way seems to work.

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lib/firefox/firefox

Firefox 9.0.1-2 -> http://diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/Firef ... -Lucid.pet

It shouldn't matter whether Firefox 8 is uninstalled or not. And it should be OK to update--for a while at least

Firefox 9.0.1-2 working well here.No lock-ups and flash now behaving as it should.
Thanks playdayz

Edit

Just discovered after two simulations that Chromium 17 is broken after installing the FF 9.0.1-2.pet
I see this in a terminal.

sh-4.1# chromium
/usr/lib/chrome-linux/chrome: /usr/lib/libnssutil3.so: version `NSSUTIL_3.13' not found (required by /usr/lib/libnss3.so)
sh-4.1#

Brown_Mouse, Did you uninstall the Firefox 8 pet? I didn't think it mattered but it looks like it does in this case. After you uninstall the FF 8 pet you will need to reinstall the FF 9.0.1-2 pet.

There is also a Chromium 18 pet -> ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet ... -Lucid.pet

I have both Chromium 18 and Ff 9.0.1-2 running compatibly, so it can be done.

Yes that fixed it!!Reverted to a backup savefile,uninstalled FF8 and then installed FF9.0.1-2

I keep my Firefox .mozilla directory on /mnt/home and link it to root but for some strange reason this got wiped and I lost all my bookmarks.Not sure if that was tied in with updating but luckily I had a backup.

Also updated to Chromium 18 and that is running well.

Thanks again.

Hi,
Ive tried the suggestion to put "usb-storage.delay_use= 2" in the kernel list but it did not work, even with a time delay of 120.

I am using grub4dos on the usb30 stick and it boots into menu.list, also on the stick.
It fails and drops into a terminal. At this stage plugging the stick into a usb 2.0 port is registered but into the usb 3.0 port it is not.

Anyone using a usb 3.0 stick in a usb 3.0 port please advise.

Regards Tony.

Same result in Three-Headed-Dog (529)....works fine.

Speaking of Three-Headed Dog, I am preparing an update. Does anyone have suggestions for a cool background? Thanks.

Wasn't Cerberus the three-headed dog that guarded the entrance to the underworld? Images should be easy to find.

let me guess its to stop goldie locks from accidentally entering if she makes a wrong turn in the woods?

[magerlab]

to save your settings don't forget to use Firefox Sync:)

FF 9 works fine after copyng some libs into /usr/lib as described in another topic on the forum. A bit strange though

[Amgine]

Thanks everyone, I upgraded Firefox also, its working fine.

suggestions for a cool background

Black! Great contrast, saves bytes, keeps maximum number of pixels switched off, saves power, extends screen life, say no more...

magerlab, 01micko has pointed out that this is not the best way to fix Firefox because some other programs might need the older libraries that are replaced. specifically, we have found that Chromium can have a problem. The "preferred" fix is to uninstall the Firefox 8-Lucid p[et if it is installed and then install the Firefox 9.0.1-2 pet -> http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 177#594177

It's no big deal, but I am also not sure that Firefox works quite as well by copying the libraries--but everything seems to work with the 9.0.1-2 pet.

Bigpup, Is there a higher resolution version of the 3-headed Puppies?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to billtoo, there is an sfs of the latest VLC 1.1.13 with Umplayer that seems to work in Lucid -> http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 545#594545

[bigpup]

Bigpup, Is there a higher resolution version of the 3-headed Puppies?

This is the best I could find. A little better resolution than my earlier post. Best I could find was 1024X768.
MtPaint can be used to adjust resolution.

Finally got around to trying the remaster script. First shot I get this error: (see attachment). OK, it IS a full install. So I tried to mount the SFS; I found I could not

Code: Select all

mkdir /initrd/pup_ro2

but I could create the directories in ROX GUI. Then I could not

Code: Select all

mount /root/pup_528.sfs /initrd/pup_ro2

; the sfs file is not a block device. However sh suggested trying

Code: Select all

-o looped

I think it was, and that worked, and the script went fine. I wound up with a CD of Puppy 528.004, with the devx and a couple extra programs on it (Textmaker, XMMS), and it booted fine with pfix=ram, I thought all systems were go. However, my test computer will no longer boot to its HDD! It crashes when trying to start X, things are moving on the screen too fast to read them but I think it says something about a couple of files (.XLOAD?) being a read-only filesystem. It's stuck in a loop that starts with "starting X, specs in..." and ends with "If X failed to start, type....". I will probably have to reinstall Puppy (at least it's not Windows!). Fortunately, this is not a computer I have to have working, I use it for testing and sometimes just to play with. But for now, I have to say I don't recommend using Puppy Simple Remaster Script from a full installation.

Edit: it just occurred to me that I never unmounted the sfs file, and ROX didn't know about it so it wouldn't have done so on shutdown. Could this be why the computer will no longer boot to its HDD? Or could the very existence of the directory /initrd or /initrd/pup_ro2 give Puppy indigestion? I'll try umounting the sfs and deleting the file and directories tomorrow and report back.
