Just first run Wary 5.2.1.90 CD, the time display fast one hour. To see the attached picture will know. My hardware clock is local time. The local time is 13:36(see the Psync Time Server Synchroniser display), but the clock display in right corner is 14:36.
Also when start up, Wary haven't ask me for the time zone. Thanks.

Fresh manual frugal install of Wary 5.2.1.90 on my Athlon XP box.Sound.internet and display all working on initial boot. However, unable to change the time zone.
Both the "Quicksetup first-run settings" or the "set timezone" freezes the computer and maxes out the cpu (according to Htop)at 100%,Neither application responds at all and mouse not usable.Necessary to restart X with/ctrl/alt/backspace.
Otherwise, things appear pretty good.

Rebooted. Still unable to change timezone but no problem setting the actual date and time.
Same problem in Racy....evidently not as bad on newer more powerful hardware.

5.2.1.90: Because the locale settings are pre-determined textually, there weren't the same issues as with Racy. However, my Logitech Mouseman Wheel PS/2 also failed to sign on - had to use an USB device; have experienced this issue a couple of times previously. Fortunately, a cheap clone PS/2 worked OK. Also got the bizarre FlashPlayer 'File does no exist' message. These test versions aren't going to survive!
Later:
FlashPlayer d/l works from the PPM.

- why such a long name ?
- noticed it's faster to boot.
- pop up asking to download flashplayer is annoying
- what is file /puninstall.sh ?
- glxgears 1200 FPS as usual
----> Wary is 3x faster than Racy
- doesnt boot direct to desktop like RACY. too bad.

Bonjour,
Racy 5.2.1.90, Frugal install.
Very difficult to choose in quicksetup window the various parameters : language, timezone and keyboard. The combo box is extremely slow.
And no possibility to get the french keymap.
Cordialement

Remove builtin packages
The Remove builtin packages feature freezes for about 30 seconds if I click on the vertical scrollbar (or press PgDown etc) to browse among items.
Gears do not rotate
Wary: The fps rate is three times higher that in other puppies, but the gears do not rotate. It is strange that the displayed interval is not 5 seconds but 6 or more.
In contrast, they rotate well in Racy - but there is no sound for me in Racy..

Found I could change timezone after savefile was created, using
menu>desktop>set timezone
BUT it is very slow to go down the list and using the up arrow just takes you back to the start so don't rush it.
Additional info for Barry
Anything requiring a vertically formatted list or scrollbar is horribly slow to select or move, yet if the list is horizontal it's response is almost immediate??? this includes a spreadsheet, database or even multiple page doc's and pdf's.
Also, isn't the calc icon on the desktop suppose to show a spreadsheet, not a calculator?
I do find this rc is clearly running slower than the last if opening windows or starting applications.

Re: wary
zulhilmi, you haven't given us a lot of information to work with, but to start with:zulhilmi wrote:click the PET and PPM..nothing executed....click seamonkey..also not executed...PBurn is old version...3.3.7????
First check that the iso file downloaded properly by gtkhash (file telling what it should be is in the download directory on the website).
If that's right, it just sounds like a bad burn or install, try again.
Let us know what you did and where the problem starts at, like is it on starting the cd or after installing, if installed is it a frugal install or full, have you used the cd to do an upgrade of an earlier version, etc.
we don't mind more information than we need, especially as were not there.

gtk+-2.24.8-w5c
Installed gtk+-2.24.8-w5c.pet with DEV on Wary Puppy 5.2.1.90.
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02594
Some troubles remains with the nVidia commercial driver(gimp-2.7.1 still crashes),
but seems better:
Insert key on seamonkey... OK.
Combobox of gtkdialog3/gtkdialog4... OK.
I compiled gimp-2.6.11 against the gtk+-2.24.8-w5c and works OK(was crashed when opening new files).
gimp-2.6.11-w5c.sfs
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/pup5/
(May NOT work on usual Wary/Racy)
./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i486-t2-linux-gnu --sysconfdir=/etc --with-x --without-dbus --without-webkit --disable-python

Remove builtin packages
The "new" GTK solved the problem: opening Remove builtin packages does not hog the CPU. Thanks, Barry.
However, after I went thru the process and removed Abiword, Gumeric and Seamonkey (plus others) and finally got a directory for the new ISO, I found that it contains broken files: initrd.gz was about 760 bytes and vmlinuz was only 32 bytes long. What is strange, too: the sfs file was only a little smaller than the original one: 122 MB.
I repeated the process twice with the same result. Then I replaced the broken files with the original initrd.gz and vmlinuz to see what happens: yeah, the packages disappeared.

During further testing I've noticed that web pages are very,very slow to load in SeaMonkey.Installed Opera 11.51 with the same result.
Also reported by testers in the Racy thread.
