Russian langpack
I have updated Russian langpack. Changes: xdelta translation, hunspell-ru etc. Some help files are not translated yet.
Since quicksetup.mo is part of base Puppy I put it separately from langpack.
And here is also Ukrainian mini-translation for Quicksetup.
If I choose ru_UA locale at first boot in Wary I have black squares in xorgwizard instead of letters. Console font is not loaded, In Racy it doesn't happen since it boots directly to desktop,

Now on Racy 5.2.90
Clicking on the clock (left click or right click) brings up minixcal calendar which doesn't have a close button on it. It does have a taskbar button though.
If I do the instinctive move of right click the taskbar button and then left click on "close" this exits X to prompt which is a little alarming.
In fact a left click of the taskbar button closes the minixcal calendar and a right click of the taskbar button also closes minixcal but also brings up the usual context menu including "kill" and "close", so unless you realise that the function of the taskbar button is non-standard and that minixcal has already closed it is easy to give yourself a fright.

Upgrade savefile from 5.2.2.7 to 5.2.90
Everything went well, I believe all personal info in savefile was properly updated, desktop of course was changed and had to re-do it to my personal prefs.
One slight flaw noticed... in pwidgets, changed a clock-face. Clock changed OK but at the bottom there was some other foreign (not en (U.S.) language as per my setup in the 'select buttons'. I took a shot that the r/h one was the 'OK' button and, 'it was' as the clock changed.
Other than that, I haven't noticed any change to any programs so I assume all the upgrades etc., are working in the background. So far,everything working real well!

WiFi problem
It appears that something happened to 'WiFi' in 5.2.90? (at least with my config)
WiFi was working in 5.2.2.7 with the rt2X00-new-firmware-folder-0.0.1.pet pemsau made and posted in an earlier (this thread) page.
Racy 'Does Show wlan0' as being available in Puppy Connect Wizard.
Linksys blue light comes when doing a scan to connect but... does not connect.
Using (same computer as previous):
rt2800usb
LinksysAE1000 usb-stick
Belkin 300 Router
Even tried re-installing the: rt2X00-new-firmware-folder-0.0.1.pet from pemasu again but still no connection with WiFi.
No problem with eth0... it connects automatically every time!

Wary/Racy 5.3RC (5.2.90)
Wary works very well on my Acer netbook, it couldn't find the builtin
wireless though and I had to use a linksys usb wireless adapter that
uses the rt73 module.
The linksys adapter works well with Wary but it only leaves me with 2
free usb ports, so:
I put a full install of Racy 5.2.90 on another partition of the hard
drive.

You may find the later b43 firmwares that I've provided links to at:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=76495
may help in Wary
- or you could try the Broadcom-STA wl driver which I've tested on wary5.2.90 and is uploaded here:
http://ubuntuone.com/5gAMo7ljr84Tw2GjR85e0j
and which Broadcom explicitly say supports your version bcm43225

EDIT: I installed the Broadcom-STA wl pet and then loaded the module, it's working fine, it sees the wireless as eth0 but it is working.

unable to fix wrong translations in menus
just one example:
the Bcrypt entry should say 'cifrado de archivos' (file encryption), the existing translation says 'encriptado de aplicaciones' (application encryption) -- the word 'encriptar', is so un-Spanish
langpack_es installs the new translations, but existing fuzzy translations remain

ATI Radeon HD6000 video card. Built-in driver is no go
Running Racy 5.2.90RC with ATI Radeon HD6050
The radeon driver included with this Puppy does not seem to work with the 3.0.17 kernel
I tried to compile the proprietary driver from the AMD web page. This compile fails with a DKMS error. The DKMS version that I installed was a DEB from Debian testing. I have a kernel source pet for k3.0.17 PAE installed - maybe this is a problem as well -it's the nearest kernel source version I could find. The DEVX used is the one for Racy 5.2.90
How can I set up the correct build environment for this driver?
I have got video to run using the VESA driver.

Thanks Billtoo - the link to the kernel source is here:
http://bkhome.org/sources/kernel-3.0.17/
Compiled without error this time.
"report-video" command still shows VESA as the driver though. Other people have also found this to be the case as well. Uhu I see why - the xorg.conf that got updated by the "aticonfig --initial" command now has two device sections in it - one of which shows the vesa driver.
This looks like a bug in the proprietary driver then?

Life is too short to spend it in front of a computer
Yes, report video info is wrong, hardware acceleration is working though because google earth and other programs (games ) that need it work fine.tronkel wrote:Thanks Billtoo - the link to the kernel source is here:

Compiled without error this time.
"report-video" command still shows VESA as the driver though. Other people have also found this to be the case as well. Uhu I see why - the xorg.conf that got updated by the "aticonfig --initial" command now has two device sections in it - one of which shows the vesa driver.
This looks like a bug in the proprietary driver then?
Video appears to work though.Section "Device"

EDIT: I should say some games work, nexuiz works, others like openarena that would work in earlier releases of wary don't for some reason.

Wary 5.2.90 as Virtualbox guest
I installed Wary 5.2.90 under Virtualbox 4.1.10. I choose Wary instead of Racy because the emulated hardware in Virtualbox is nothing to write home about, and the lower resource usage of Wary doesn't hurt either.
Only problem I had was xorgwizard crashing to a black screen trying to start X (which is required if you want to install the Virtualbox Guest Additions which enable a number of useful features, such as mouse integration, shared clipboard, shared folders, 3D acceleration support, window resize and so on).
Selecting Vesa does work by the way, but you have to disable mouse integration from the vm dropdown menu and you don't have access to the above goodies.
However I restarted the virtual machine with puppy pfix=nox and found out that xorgwizard had left behing a xorg conf in a usable state - I only had to edit it and set the monitor resolution @ 1024*768*24, and this time xwin put me in a regular X (non-Vesa) environment.
Next step was to compile the Guest Additions, so I downloaded the kernel sources sfs and the devx sfs (btw, I didn't have to run anything to connect the network, it worked right out of the box). I made the boot manager mount the sfs, told the VM to load the Guest Additions iso image that comes with the Virtualbox install, then I gave these commands from a terminal:
Everything worked perfect, no errors or weird messages. I only had to reboot Puppy as directed by the install and figure out how to launch the services that virtualbox requires (they are in the VBoxClient-all script, so either you arrange for VBoxClient-all to be launched at X startup, or look into it and make the services it launches start from where services are supposed to start in first place).
Bottom line, this is the first Puppy I see in years that runs under Virtualbox with all the Guest Addition features enabled and working, and it is pretty fast as well.
Hopefully the detection issue in xorgwizard is fixable, or else we could just start in Vesa, download a proper xorg.conf and restart X...
Anyway, thanks for another awesome Puppy
