The pupradio in Precise is old. Some of the channels fail now too. If 0.16 was in it would have worked. I am up to 0.17 now to fix the opera bug, Posted here.

A kind and patient contributor showed how to attach a picture, repeated under. The final step to include it in text requires extra skill that I will work on when time permits. Hope folks like it. The wallpaper was kindly supplied a while back by another resident artist.

& see previous page.

Frugal install to usb key by copying files extracted from iso. Dispaly distorted like an analog tv with no signal in both X and console on laptop with amd a8 with ati 6700m hybride grapahics. Have tried the following with no success: nomodeset xdriver=vesa vga=normal video=800x600x60 noacpi pfix=ram pfix=nox.
Lucid worked on same laptop without any problems
Usb key works great on computer with phenom 9550 and geforce 9300 graphics card.

Woof-built Puppies continue to have the old cups_shell front end. A simpler, more nooby-friendly version is attached.

Hi all,
I'm using Precise on a live DVD and up until yesterday, it was all looking great. I am using a desktop with a 1440x900 monitor and Puppy Precise was working fine on this, unlike some other puppies I've tried.

However, last night I installed wbar, had the settings almost right at the top of the screen. I tweaked the wbar settings to be at the 10 points from the top instead of the default 15, and suddenly, the resolution jumped to 1024x768. The only other resolution offered to me is 800x600 or worse.

I didn't save the session in the hope that I could restart, but no luck with that. I'm stuck at 1024x768 on a monitor not built for it. Everything works, but it's big and ugly.

I don't know if this is bug on Precise, but wanted to post here. Any suggestions?

I burned a fresh copy to see if I could get off to a fresh start. Alas, I am still stuck with 1024x768.

Everything else seems to work really well, but the resolution is out of whack. Crying or Very sad

I've tried the Setup > xorg video wizard, but no matter what I choose, I end up wit the same thing.

Regarding BarryK's release notes for Retro-Precise Puppy

http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/precise-5.4-retro/precise-5.4-retro-README.htm

A few days ago I acquired a Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop which has a Pentium-M processor in it. That one seems to be PAE-capable (maybe some are and some aren't?). Vintage is around 1994.

Standard PAE Precise Puppy 5.4 Live CD boots and runs OK.

I tested my wacom driver with the Wacom Bamboo tablet
and it worked in Precise 5.4

Testing Precise 540.

There are very few sfs files in the Precise repo. Coming from Lucid 529, I tried loading LibreOfc-3.3.1_en_US_sfs4.sfs from that distro, using SFS-Load-on-the-fly. The SFS loaded and updated the menu correctly and then offered the option of starting a program immediately. I selected Impress, which sent the system into a HDD-thrashing loop and froze the system. I had to power-off to recover. On rebooting, impress seems to work just fine.

skype_static-2.1.0.81.sfs, which I got from the forum Lucid 529 thread seems to work well.

I tried loading skype-4_sfs4.sfs, which I got from, http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=642706#642706, thanks to 666philb. It also works, but the sound quality seems to be quite a bit worse. This is based on very limiited testing, as I am off to Jakarta shortly.

Can any existing sfs files which are known to work on 5.4 be referenced from the Precise repo? This would save people an awful lot of searching.

So far precise seems to be working without major issues on my Compaq C700 and Thinkpad TF400 laptops, using USB's prepared using BootFlash installer. On my Compaq desktop, both manual frugal and USB flash work fine.
