Hello, pemasu.

Iron refuses to load : system says it's a library because it's in /usr/lib/iron-linux, even if big executable there is given permission to execute.

Opera in /mnt/home/opera flashes on screen, but doesn't stay. Unusable.

Seamonkey ok.

Sound ok.

Symlink from /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt to /root/.rgb.txt, required by gcolor2, is missing, as in most Puppys. (I'm not counting the years I've been saying this anymore...)

BFN.

Quick post before going to work.
Billtoo. That fix has been adopted to the woof and it is already in the Upup Precise.
I tested it with http://www.chromium.org/ without installing that fix pet.
Chromium nowadays uses same filenames and location as google-chrome.

The .deb after installation met the fix automatically and it launched without any need to do root fixes.
So it works oob. Google-chrome fix is in place already.
There is cache limit 10 Mb for those browsers also.

Hi,

Long time no see.

I ported over Qupzilla 1.4.0

I've been unable to upload the .pet to the forums so I just shoved it over on a storage site.

I installed it on Upup and it works awesome.

I installed 01micko's gparted-0.14.1-i686_F2FS-precise.pet and used it
to prepare a 16gb SDHC card then installed a remaster of upup3.8.2 to
the card.
It worked fine.
@pemasu
I didn't know about the Google-Chrome fix already being in 382, sorry.

Hi pemasu

Just to report that all the below tested and working as far as I can see:

Broadcom wl driver (see question below)
Frisbee
YASSM to a Samba 4 server on Slacko5.5
Chromium 25

devx successfully loaded into ram** using sfs-load-on-the-fly (this doesn't work for either Precise 5.4.93 k3.8.0 or PhatSlacko5.5 k3.8.2 with or without the adrv where the system crashes if devx is loaded into ram)
** i.e. pristine frugal install with no savefile

My question on wl driver (many thanks for including BTW) - did you get this warning on compile? If not have you patched the source?

This is fantastic - insanely fast and zero resource usage - amazing.

Lol Billtoo. I did include Gparted-0.14.1, the 01mickos patched one...and I did remember to check that 2createpackages processed the right one.

Peebee. I have used the same patched source all the time. I just do: make clean and then: make and then I grap the compiled module and place it to the kernel package. I didnt have need to apply any new patches. I use the patches I got from you eons ago.
I didnt check the error messages. When I have time....I will recompile it and check.

Latest French localization (March 2013; menu and programs) by esmourguit works fine in this upup.

Mount icon at top left just takes space, since same function exists multiple times on disk icons at bottom of screen.

Running nicely (given specs) on my little Commell board...

Commell LE-370Z motherboard
Integrated 600MHz Celeron M ULV
1gb RAM
PNY Verto FX5500 graphics card (nouveau driver)
Rosewill RNX-EasyN1 USB Wireless Adapter (rt2800usb / rt2800sta)
CD-R/RW / DVD-ROM ("Combo") drive, of the slimline laptop variety

I've also got an Intel MiniPCI card in this thing, but I've only got one antenna on it right now so it can't find its own rear (let alone a network!) ...w/e the Rosewill card is performing remarkably well...

Ignoring the bootup time (primarily because this board only goes up to DDR1 PC2100 [266MHz] RAM speeds), this is one snappy Puppy on my hardware! It's slightly faster than Slacko 5.5 in launching applications, and it's phenomenally responsive with them once they've launched.

I am disappointed in the lack of a firstrun connect/gethelp/etc box after the personalize-settings thing does its stuff, but I can live with that. A more concerning issue is that, upon first connection to the Internet, there's no check for a firewall -- users have to find that manually (most of them won't, if they've just come from Windblows... )

Only severe "problems" really are a lack of permanent storage on my end and speakers that click and buzz when the mouse moves. Both are issues that cannot be addressed by software.

I like! 9/10 so far.

EDIT: streaming media slows things down a goodly bit -- but that's not surprising, either. Score remains 9/10.
