PostPosted: Mon 27 Aug 2012, 22:27    Post subject: Intel video; Abiword; usb tv; petget; usb modem.  
Barry,

Mostly good so far.

Intel video works straight out of the box. Very Happy

Abiword sometimes starts with a tiny window, partially drawn paper or both.

My usb tv (7ca:a835) is detected (KERNEL-DRIVER(builtin)=(none)) but sadly needs a kernal patch.

Minor issues

A startup script I run to search for a file in the top dir of several drives thankfully no longer delays for a minute or so. The last time it was so fast was Puppy 431 I think.

Yes, fixmenus does seem slower. I run petget from a script to setup new Puppys. An option to skip fixmenus would help. That's assuming one call to fixmenus after all installs would install all new menu items. Likewise, if petget could be run without dialogue boxes (terminal only) that would speed up my configuring and testing.

The brilliant auto setup of the usb modem needs the cd to spin up even though the cd was copied to RAM at boot.

Beta 3 works normally on my Celleron 900MHz 512RAM. I noticed one thing: network_tray is not internationalized. The pet installed from http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02837 works (didn't test it on beta3 yet but it worked on beta2).


Thanks, fixed. The latest is in the 'common' repo, but the build was finding an older one.

The main difference from beta2 is that beta3 is built with Ubuntu 12.04.1 DEBs. So, something must have changed in that directory.

Can you post the names of some missing files?

A search in packages.ubuntu.com should identify what DEB they are in.

Why not try it?
install:
Code:
DISPLAY='' && petget PETFILE

uninstall:
Code:
DISPLAY='' && petget -PETFILE
Wink
DISPLAY='' will skip the dialog.

tzdata_2012e-0ubuntu0.12.04_all.deb should have all the data.

@rerwin
I hope this is the information you need:
Code:
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] [10de:0322] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
   Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. MS-8936 (FX5200-T128) [1462:9360]
   Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 10
   Memory at ec000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
   Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
   [virtual] Expansion ROM at ed000000 [disabled] [size=128K]
   Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2
   Capabilities: [44] AGP version 3.0
   Kernel modules: nouveau


@01micko
Thanks for the address! nouveau_unload does not offer its services automatically in Beta 3, but runs fine from the console. You might consider adding a line to the instructions telling the user that you must make a save file (if you don't already have one) for the script to do its job. I do think, however, that a fully automated solution such as the one rerwin suggested is better because going through this procedure is probably a bit much to ask of a new (and inexperienced) user.

nv is not listed in xorgwizard. My experience with this machine has been that it provides about the same performance as vesa.

The nvidia-173 driver did unload nouveau (or at least it said it did), but then X refused to start. In a further experiment, I loaded the nvidia-71 driver over the nvidia-173 driver. The old driver was unloaded and I was able to start X in vesa mode, but once I chose nvidia with the xorgwizard, X again refused to start. I have used these drivers (self-compiled) with a whole kennel full of puplets (Lucids, Slackos, Waries) and never had this problem before. Always worked like a charm and delivered 2400+ fps.

ok testing Beta3 now, off the top of my head i will list what i have found.
python is missing some dev files or was compiled without --enable-shared. vcdimager and cairo are also missing some dev files.

CPU Frequency Scaling Tool is not working correctly, same as OV-Percise see page 5 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=80175&start=60

if anyone has installed my pets from OV-Percise thread some of them will not work in BK's Percise Beta3, some of the libs are not the same.
here is my repo for BK's Percise Beta3 and this time i686 instead of i486 http://www.mediafire.com/?mpv88jj3bp0m3, none of my compiled apps and libs are combined in sfs's or large pets i will do that soon and then post them.

Hello BarryK & 01micko

My internet has been broken since Thursday, so I haven't been able to try Precise yet.

I tried posting in the blog but I don't know the answer to the question! Sorry!

I'm no expert on this, don't take as certain, but this is my understanding.

LLVM is a software rasteriser that is superior to swrast and is used by GLX when there isn't a working 3D accelerated driver.

The current Radeon r600g has gallium 3d acceleration built in and does not need LLVM.

LLVM only gets used if KMS is disabled and the r600g is in some kind of fallback mode.

the r600g driver supports all Radeon cards from the the last few years including Evergreen and up to Northern Islands but not Southern Islands.

the r300g is similar and goes back to the 9500 series cards from 10 years ago.

I don't think you need to include LLVM as long as KMS can be enabled.

PostPosted: Tue 28 Aug 2012, 16:55    Post subject: FirstRUN is not your current version. Probably WOOF2 error.  
Seems that during the build process, the OLD FirstRUN utility has been cobbled into the distro.

For sertting system fields and variables, the newer FirstRUN you built couple months back is much more advanced than the one that is currently in the Beta3.

Below is an example of the current one that is in Precise 5269 and the prior one which is your updated version.

Here to help
