I should explain a bit more. I did test "cp -n" before releasing 5.5-final, but only on Precise Puppy, which works. It seems that Wary/Racy has an older 'coreutils' package, the 'cp' of which does not support the '-n' option.BarryK wrote:Yes, the remasterpup2 script has a bug.
I made a change at the last minute to the 'cp' command, added the '-n' option, which I got out of an online man page.
But, the 'cp' in Puppy does not support -n, so I have changed it to -u
Try the attached. Gunzip it, place at /usr/sbin, make sure permissions are executable.

Using the 10yr old Acer laptop - manual frugal to ext3 partition - booting with grub4dos.
Nice to have a current Puppy that still offers the traditional txt setup with a quick and easy option into Xvesa.
(noticed an unusually long delay after selecting UK keyboard)

I am running on my soon to be new Manna OS on RACY remaster is working great!!!
Thanks again
Wary is excellent as always, the most usable ootb linux distro for my hardware.
I'd like future versions of Wary to have this version of glipper-lite.
It's about the same size, UI is better, but more importantly it's more likely to survive tray restarts.

Or if not on i586 you can try the latest Seamonkey which, despite its ever-increasing size, has improved tremendously with overall responsiveness since version 2.6. It doesn't need newer glibc, just dbus (or nobus)I tried glibc upgrade of wary 5.5 to run firefox 19.0. See:

racy tray battery ok wary no
racy tray battery ok wary no
ASUS 701 Eee PC, 900 MHz, 4 GB SSD, 512 MB RAM
This was just given to me after sitting in a garage for a few years. Battery charges fully, giving good runtime.
racy5.5 manual frugal
wary5.5 manual frugal
racy tray shows the battery charging, as well as hardinfo.
racy tray follows the charge light on the ASUS.
wary tray on the other hand, shows no charge, and hardinfo agrees, even though the ASUS charge light shows charging.
So... racy monitors battery ok, but wary battery monitor does not work.
Both racy and wary play ted.com videos.
Compiled Sylpheed 340beta2 and vim 7.3.843, work great.
Seamonkey browses well.

Hello, all.
Just a note:
I didn't catch the release candidate thread before it was closed, so I'm putting my user's note here.
If you install pdfedit, it will probably need a libaudio library, which is absent in wary 5.4.90. Why an audio library in a text processing program I do not know, but pdfedit refuses to launch without it.
I did a micro-version update from 5.4.90 to 5.5 so it's impossible to re-check now in my 5.5, but nevertheless, if you install pdfedit in wary 5.5 and it does not work, try to think of this solution.
Best regards.

I'm not compiling it, just running it. An official build of Seamonkey 2.17b1 (which I believe parallels Firefox 20) runs perfectly fine on stock Wary.BarryK wrote:SeaMonkey has the same problem as Firefox. Cannot compile latest versions in Wary.

Racy 5.5 frugal install on USB stick.
Dell Lattitude 6470: Racy will not shut down normal way. It will clear screen, but wallpaper remains. And stay in this phase. It will not show the black screen showing "saving to ...".
ASUS EeePC1001HA: works fine WIFI, screen, audio, battery etc,, Installed some eye candy, then played with function keys on EeePC (volume up/down, brightness up-down) all fine, until I tried WIFI on-off (FN+F2). WIFI turned off. But this key cannot enable WIFI anymore. I enabled WIFI again via SNS. But when I shut Puppy down, no save file update happened. I lost all my eye candy....
Not sure what happened, might have been an accident, but FN+F2 caused problems in many puppies. as long as you don't use it Racy works fine.
Only thing I miss in Racy is the option to have only 5 icons on the desktop. (Slacko has it). But I have to congratulate with the size. This series of puppies is in the 120Mbyte range. Others (Precise/Slacko) are 150mbytes+.
Naming: what is mainstream puppy now ? I know Wary 5.5 is for older stuff, but Racy 5.5 / Slacko 5.5 / Precise 5.5 ... all offer more or less the same. Which one will be mainstream and maintained ?

OK, I see now what was meant, Watchdog was trying to run a Precise (or other puppy) build. So, yeah, vanilla builds are your answer.
In any case, I still recommend Seamonkey over Firefox because vanilla Firefox is noticeably slower on my modest machine...

My frugal with firefox works fine on my new hardware, a laptop with celeron and 2 Gb RAM. My old desktop is gone. From this frugal with glibc upgrade, if you install the original glibc from repository by PPM, you can obtain the same of the original wary where I run seamonkey 2.16. It works fine, too.
Grub Legacy Bootloader Config is broken in Wary 5.5. The problem is with Xdialog and GTK, specifically the menubox widget. It is now throwing an error message into 2>/tmp/xxx. So grubconfig cannot parse the results.
This is patchable. However, fans of Legacy GRUB may prefer to use the light-weight replacement here. It will appear in the System menu as Legacy GRUB Config 2013.
FYI, I have searched for other apps that may be affected by this bug. The only one I could find is the podcast grabber.

What to do to change this erratic behavior?
Thank you.
