It was reported in Russian Puppy forum that Precise 5.3.91 (and Slacko-5.3.3) won't shutdown in full install, just goes to command prompt and it shuts down after entering command:

I previously posted support for btrfs in guess_fstype:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=651646#651646

In order to support btrfs as a (compressible) save file format that can upgrade from ext*, the kernel would need support and the following scripts patched:

These are mostly just adding btrfs (or whatever extension we decide on) to the scripts where you fine 2fs or 3fs (some may/may not have 4fs) Btrfs can do a lot of stuff on the fly, but the tools (an technology) are still fairly new, but some distros are already using it by default

I have found an issue that causes shutdown problems with usb frugal installs. I have set up a fresh install of precise 5.2.60 to compile an new version of e17 for macpup. I have 5 other usb installs of precise that all work fine. They all use a save file. This time I chose to save to the whole partition so it uses the complete usb . The problem is this new install won't shutdown , it will go back to a prompt or loop back to the jwm. The only difference is that it doesn't have a save file. I have had a report of this happening in macpup 529 ( based on precise) same kind of set up. usb with no save file.

Sage, if you want information on Samsung TVs then try the web site http://wiki.samygo.tv/index.php5/Main_Page. You might find an answer there. I have briefly searched in the past for items such as keyboards for my SMART TV but it is not clear whether even Samsung ones would work in plugged in a TV usb port. Apologies to anyone who thinks this is a bit of the beta 6 comments.

Well it seems that Puppy Precise Beta 6 doesn't like the MSI VO56, V-3 PCI-E(Nvidia 7300 LE chipset) card that was on my Asus P4V800DX mobo. I swapped an old Nvidia 6200 AGP 8x and it loaded up fine. SeaMonkey behaves better in this distro than I've ever seen it in other Puppy distro. No washed out panels on Facebook. You Tube videos also load pretty fast. It'll keep this 6 year old computer going for a while yet. Lucid Puppy 5-28 and 5-29 also run well. Can't wait till we get some proper PET packages in the PPM!

Only just got round to testing these latest release of Precise Puppy - is there a bug with xorgwizard? as i am unable to manually select radeon driver, however probe/auto does select the radeon driver. This is a same problem in Pemasus Wheezy build as well.
B43 wireless is working.

cheers.

Thanks, peterw . Samsung giving away IPR?!

As for Precise B6, it's a cracking piece of work. For the record, (and predictably!) FlashPlayer is giving its usual grief. Different browsers, and more importantly browser versions seem to need different FPs with no guidance as to which to use (sometimes worse: misguidance from the Adobe site!). For the default SM browser safest to load FP v.10.3, as recommended previously (by ???). These matters are of utmost interest to UK/BBCiPlayer users until Auntie throws off the cloak of M$ junk, Blair legacy of IT ignorance and finally gets their systems onto rational distros + HTML5.

libcdio has changed and broke some apps i compiled so back to see if i can get them to compile with this version.last time i tried to compile against this version of cdio it is the same as ov precise. i couldnt get vcdimager to compile and xine-lib 1.2.2, xine-ui 0.99.7. so i have to see what all is broken now. i know the ver. in beta 5 is old from 2009 i think but to me it works better.

So back to compiling and if that doesnt work, i will just keep using beta 5.
