Upup Precise 3.7.2 with kernel 3.7.2, no pae
My apologies to pemasu
G'day pemasu,
Thank you for looking into my ghostscript version 'problem'.
Checking my Frugal Pups (54x7 & 3.7.2), I found they do have the gs version you said (8.15.4).
But in my Full Pup installs, I found the problem gs-8.64 (console: gs -version) and checking the pets I had installed, one of my pets has this ghostscript in it and has overwritten the original OK gs with gs-8.64.
So I must now fix this pet of mine .

Aarf brought to our attention that intel atom cpu`s with certain onboard intel gma graphics benefit from the gma500_gfx.ko kernel module
Link to the pet: http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_pack ... -0.0.1.pet
I decided to try to create a pet of the needed xorg graphics libs. It makes easier to test the intel cedarview gma graphics.Posted on 13 Jan 2013, 19:12 by aarf
precise for asus 1025c
at last a precise that boots

Intel atom and cedarview graphics
Upup Precise with non pae 3.7.2 provides gma500_gfx.ko kernel module graphics driver...for certain intel atom cpu with onboard gma graphics.
Aarf has found that this new kernel module is useful.
More info here...tests in Slacko builds, thread by Tempestuous:

Continuing of cedarview graphics
After using gma500_gfx.ko kernel module it would be necessary to intall cedarview xorg libs also:
Use PPM and install all cedarview .debs, three of them:cedarview-drm libva-cedarview-vaapi-driver cedarview-graphics-drivers
Of course I am not sure if all those are needed. Next step might be to go the console state and run xorgwizard > Probe and restart xwin.
And hope the best.

That firefox pet has been created using Tman`s technique and it was provided by 666philb. I did try to upload it for compatilibity. In the future, it might be possible that quickpet uses upup repo. So...I tried to upload quickpet offerings to the upup repo, instead of need to use hosting services.
Firefox-18.pet had flaw. It didnt create firefox symlink to the /usr/bin. Fixed now. It asks if Firefox will be the defaultbrowser and updates /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser if wanted.
It does not presume that Firefox has been previously installed.
Maybe I did upload wrong Firefox pet. I just dont understand how.
Anyway....Firefox-18.pet has been updated in upup repo.
There is canonical Firefox-18 in ubuntu repos. Just use PPM. It wont autoupdate, I believe.
...............
Being a complete noob, I wonder why hardly anybody has been paying attention to the APT-GET derivative with Synaptic and I think an undeb thing from genious Jejy.
(Has also some other package helpers ..)
However it is on the french forum but I would think that the TEST iso would speak for itself to testers ? He is not going to add it to his "next".
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=82708
I presumed that this deriv' might greatly facilitate the "pet making" ?
2.
In what way does this Upup differ from BK's original ?

1. apt? that crappy cli pkg manager from ubuntu? Does puppy need it? I say no, but lxpup still is decent overall despite the bloat of apt.
2. Newer gtkdialog, better hardware support, has pmusic3 i think (I hate aqualung), newer kernel, no pae (netbooks don't overheat or overheat so quickly on non-pae kernels), and just better overall.

hi pemasu,
i've updated quickpet_precise, http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=83642
i've added your browsers, an update button, and packaged a new vlc without QT included that works with your qt package. Still not sure if this will cause problems with the PPM ... we'll see
cheers

Hello Pemasu,
Thanks for all your hard work with Upup Precise.
In the case of all Precise Puppies the fresh Live CD does not boot to a satisfactory desktop on my machine with a Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 card because it tries to load the nouveau driver which gives blank menus and other missing graphics. There are solutions (xorg wizard sometimes finds a driver and resolution that works or I can install an Nvidia driver) but I am thinking of the new or inexperienced user and I wonder if there is a way of fixing the initial boot condition.
Just testing 3.7.2 now and trying to install the Nvidia driver from the website (which worked with 5.4.X.7 yesterday) and am getting this error from the Nvidia installer:-
Hope that helps. By the way, the Nvidia driver in the repo is too new for this card. Any chance of some older ones? The one I have to install is 173.14.36

Oscar in England
OscarTalks. I have traced that problem. There is now need for one extra symlink inside kernel source. I will update the source soon.
The quick fix is to create the symlink manually in console:
The best solution would be to use nv kernel module and nv xorg driver, but....ubuntu has not managed to create working nv xorg driver, so the nv kernel module is not usable.
So...there is left nouveau and vesa. About older nvidia drivers. I dont have any nvidia cards so...it is not easy to test them. I learned to compile nvidia drivers without existing card, but I think capable compilers can do that much easily with card in place.

Hi pemasu,
On the face of it, looks like another 'cool running' build. My eeepc has been on for more than a couple hours, loaded with this release and it remains cool. Almost cold, I would say. Cooler than dpup Exprimo 3.6.2, I'm afraid, which lately is being used as my daily OS (fan control solved, BTW). As is my habit, on the first boot I rush to see the video section of the xorg log. This one perhaps is the best I've seen. It's not that the Intel driver is being correctly picked up on the first boot - all the latest pups do that. The log here shows more features are enabled automatically from the get-go. Them new kernels are getting better by the day . . .

666philb. Thanks. I will post to your quickpet thread soon. Vlc-2.0.5 has been uploaded to upup repo now.
OscarTalks. Kernel sources sfs has been reuploaded. It has now that missing ( new feature ) symlink. That symlink kind need was also the reason that I had to modify the kernel buildind build.sh script for aufs.
No wonder it popped up with graphics driver compiling. So...it is best that the symlink is in the kernel sources sfs straight.

01micko and I have done a lot of testing with Nvidia graphics chips and he concluded that "nouveau" is most compatible with more hardware.
Personally I have several Nvidia chips......7050/630a ,7025/630a , Riva TNT 2 , MX400 , MX 4000 , 6200 and 8400 ....."nouveau" works on all while "nv" and "vesa" works on some while sometimes just booting to a black screen.
Also, in case someone doesn't know, Nvidia has dropped official support for the older 71.xxxx and 96.xxxx drivers. There goes support for my older cards.

James C. Thanks for more profound info about nouveau and nvidia.
What I meant was that if the nouveau does not work ie is not compatible, then best solution would be distro included nv kernel module and xorg driver. There is though that need of blacklisting the existing nouveau kernel module first.
I am more than happy if one kernel module handles most of the manufacturer cards.

In my testing, nouveau out performs nvidia-73 and 96 any way.
I'm looking forward to mesa-9.1 and kernel 3.8 when a lot of nouveau/radeon KMS mess is sorted out (so they say).
The most problematic nvidia is for sure the gforce-5200, I did have one years ago and wish I still did. I know Drblock2 had complaints but was happy with the 173 proprietary driver, Installs ok, check my pinstall.sh out for that one, It integrates with the stuff I sent upstream for xorgwizard. I did see exactly the same complaint recently by a newbie with the same card.I'll be surprised if the devs haven't got it fixed for mesa-9.1 as these were popular.

Hello again Pemasu,
Have downloaded the updated kernel sources and tried installing Nvidia 173.14.36 driver again and now getting:
With this FX 5200 card and this Puppy unfortunately nv doesn't work, vesa doesn't work and nouveau doesn't display properly at all so none of the on-board xorg drivers are really suitable.
Remind me again what exactly nouveau.modeset=0 does. That sometimes works on initial boot but then if you try to change resolutions afterwards you can end up in a pickle.

In your case nouveau.modeset=0 is essential to get the nv driver working. What driver loads automaticaly? I suspect vesa if res is bad. Try xorgwizard and choosing nv. Vesa has gotten terrible with nvidia cards lately, only one that works for me is the slackbones version by Q5sys (64bit), and I have only 1 pc with nvidia capable of 64 bit.OscarTalks wrote:Hello again Pemasu,

Hello 01micko
With Precise it is nouveau that loads automatically with menus and graphics missing. None of the others work at all from xorgwizard, not even vesa. Is nouveau.modeset=0 (which gives me menus and graphics but seems to lock me into 1280 x 1024 resolution) forcing nv to work somehow or is this nouveau in a different mode, I am confused? I thought nv was just not working at all in Precise.
Things are pretty much the same on this machine with Slacko 5.4 by the way (I just tried it) except that I see the Nvidia 173.14.36 drivers are in the repo in PPM. I noticed that the names are different but the descriptions are the same for 4g and PAE, is this correct?
I thought that it might be helpful if this legacy driver could be in the Precise repo also because inexperienced users might be able to grab it from there much more easily than having to install it from the nvidia website

The only way to get nv or vesa to load is with nouveau.modeset=0 or nomodeset parameter. They disable drm and KMS such that any KMS enabled kernel driver wont load, such as nouveau.ko (and radeon, intel in their specific cases).
Anyway, I've loaded this version up on my nvidia, have kernel source and devx so I'll see if 173 will play nice.

# glxgears
89 frames in 5.0 seconds = 17.786 FPS
127 frames in 5.0 seconds = 25.306 FPS
138 frames in 5.0 seconds = 27.561 FPS
135 frames in 5.0 seconds = 26.846 FPS
136 frames in 5.0 seconds = 27.058 FPS
127 frames in 5.0 seconds = 25.279 FPS
Correct resolution......low,low results from "glxgears".
VGA compatible controller : NVIDIA Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev c1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Driver is working (confirmed in xorg.0.log) but think I'll stick with "nouveau".
