The sdl-game works ok for me. No strange ball or tiles behavior. I wasnt very good, but....I dont play games. My sons do that enough, lol. Anyways the ball movements, tiles dropping was without any jerkiness or other weird...
For me the ball could have moved more slowly in fact, lol.
must be something on my end just accepting the dependencies and a reboot was all needed for it to run and running from the console showed no messages.

looks like it's cheating to me so can't hit the thing. will keep up the research.

Hi pemasu

JFYI - Dpup Exprimo 5.X.10.2 SMP multicore optimized version
is running fine on my 10yr old Acer TravelMate 243LC laptop.

Manual frugal install to ext3 sda2 and with a 800mb swap partition.
256mb ram, 2.5Ghz Celeron Proc, booting via grub4dos and wifi via
pcmcia Belkin card.

All the basic's seem to work and it is really fast.

Have not tried FFox yet as it is usually a bit of a resouce hog,
but Opera12-alpha seems to be quite stable and fast.

Will try FFox but not before running QtWeb - also normally fast and friendly.

Frisbee - for me works extremely well and is also very fast to setup - nice.

I like your puppy's very much and always look forward to seeing what
you have been doing.

Thanks again for yet another outstanding Puppy.

Very best regards - Ray

Wow, I can't turn my back for 2 minutes en there is another release. :wink:

Installed the usual FRUGAL Lin'N'Win
Activated my application environment and all seem to work.
I have a single processor and this SMP version seems to work ok. Even quite snappy in e17.

The clock issue seems to be resolved. Clock indicates the correct time.
Also the bootmanager issue is solved. I can see now my 50+ sfs files in the list.

But I don't have the 2 barks anymore at boot.
In fact I had this in the 5.X.10 already, but never reported.

Missing 2 barks is catastrophe. I checked the the delayedrun script. I had hacked it wrongly. The part which checks the first run was not ended when it calls 2 barks. Now that part ends correctly and aplay /usr/share/audio/2barks.au & will be executed.

The pet has been removed for re-evaluation.

Ooops,
There is a side effect.
The iSystray is empty now.
After removing the hack, iSystray is ok again.

Ok. It seems the pet had wrong version in it, I had several delayedrun scripts open. Wrong version got in. It had couple of extra fi fi commands in it which broke the script.
Now the reuploaded delayedrun-bark-fix pet is available here.

Firefox dfault

#295 Post by shinobar »

To prevent the savefile filled up, i hope the firefox default that is the prefs.js:
Limit the cache size.

Code: Select all

user_pref("browser.cache.disk.capacity", 4096);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.smart_size.first_run", false);
Next to prevent a large stock of URLs in places.sqlite.

Code: Select all

user_pref("browser.safebrowsing.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled", false);
See also the article, Keep your savefile slim and healthy:

Geany defaults

#296 Post by shinobar »

I hope the geany default that is /root/.config/geany/geany.conf:

Code: Select all

[geany]
pref_editor_default_new_encoding=UTF-8
editor_font=Monospace 13
show_linenumber_margin=true
geometry=24;24;600;420;0;
sidebar_visible=false
msgwindow_visible=false
Comments:
  • UTF-8 is requiered to save non-asci characters. It is harmless for asci.
  • Monospace 14 font cannot show underbar(_). Monospace 13 is OK.
  • I like to show the line number.
  • The geometry above is for 640x480 screen. It may be larger for 800x600 screen.
Well, we need to consider the tools section too? I am not sure but for an example:

Code: Select all

[tools]
make_cmd=/usr/bin/make
term_cmd=/usr/bin/xterm -e bash -c
browser_cmd=/usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser
print_cmd=/usr/bin/lpr %f
grep_cmd=/bin/grep

Shinobar:
Here is what I have had in Snow Puppies, Polarpuppies:

Code: Select all

[tools]
make_cmd=/usr/bin/make 
term_cmd=/usr/bin/xterm -e bash -c
browser_cmd=/usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser
print_cmd=/usr/bin/lpr %f
grep_cmd=/bin/grep
Looks same what you have suggested. I have updated that section in geany.conf.

I also updated your other suggestions. Some of them was already like you suggested. Reasonable suggestions. Geometry for example was too large in my geany.conf.

About Firefox. If there is possiblility to include those defaults to the /usr/lib/firefox folder as system wide defaults, that would be great. To create /root/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxx.default folder means several Mb`s of extra weight. Not reasonable if person wants to use other browser. Then...why would include Firefox to the build could be counterargument. No comments to that. It was my choice.
I have included FireFtp and Flashblock as system wide .xpi extensions. Not by using /root/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxx.default folder.

I checked your thread about Firefox tuning to preserve savefile. Great suggestions. I wholeheartedly agree with them. I usually just delete /root/.mozilla/firefox and start from fresh board again.

Me again:

I've been trying to use Blender for a bit now, but it seems that the window size control hotkey (alt-right click) is overriding the hotkey command in the program. Is there any way to fix this?

Warrior522. Exprimo ships with 2 window managers.
I presume you mean e17 - enlightenment.
Left click desktop > settings > settings panel > input > mouse buttons > search right click + alt, delete that key binding > apply > close. Done.

Nope, the other one... and I meant to post this in the other Exprimo thread, but I was in a rush and misread the title... >.<

Asix USB ethernet adapter Driver

#302 Post by csshin »

I am using Exprimo 5.X.10.2 on Asus Zenbook UX31 which got an Asix USB ethernet adapter. It cannot be recognized by Icepuppy014, Exprimo 5X9 and 5X10. I downloaded new driver from Asix

http://www.asix.com.tw/FrootAttach/driv ... Source.zip

It consists of 4 files: asix.c asix.h MakeFile and a readme.

I installed the devx sfs for Exprimo 5.X.10 and try to compile. However when I navigated to the directory containing the above driver files and typed "make", I got the error "cannot find the build directory in /lib/module/.... If I create the build directory first. The error became "cannot find rule to make" .

The same


I appreciate any help.

Battery low warning missing

#303 Post by csshin »

I am using Exprimo 5X10 on Asus Zenbook UX31. It got a battery indicator in the tray that shows the remaining charge and nothing else.

I used Exprimo 5X9 before and the same battery indicator shows the remaining time as well as charge. Also it will give a pop-up warning when the battery is getting low and critically low, at remaining charge percentages specified by user. The same functionality as that in Puppeee which I have used on a EEEpc. Such additional information (esp. the battery low warning) is highly useful. Without it I encountered sudden switch off of the laptop in the middle of work due to used up battery.

I compare Exprimo 5X9 and 5X10 and find the difference may be due to a missing vattery program in the start-up and the accompanying vattery-acpitool and vattery-ibam. I tried to copied from 5X9 but these failed to run with an error of segmentation fault.

Is it possible to have the battery warning back in Exprimo 5X10?

I running Exprimo 5.X.10.2 on a Asus Zenbook UX31.

When I plug the external monitor in before booting the laptop, all display went to the external monitor and the laptop got a black screen. If I hot plug it, the external monitor was not recognized.

The laptop used intel's shared graphic (Sandy bridge, with a core i7 cpu). Do I need to install some additional driver to get a dual monitor, able to switch between the monitors and change the resolution of the monitors independently?

pemasu I have been using your wonderful pups for quite some time, however only with an ethernet internet connection.

I have just discovered that my wifi connection is not working.

Do you have the ar9179usb wifi driver included? I'm pretty sure it's included in puppy 525 and 528.
