pwidgets pet 2.4.1 in precise-5.6.1 Subject description: some widgets may need some fixes |
|
G'day Sylvander,
I'm running pwidgets in a frugal precise-5.6.1 based on the 2.4.1 pet.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=35601&search_id=827712100
Check the final few pages of the pwidgets thread for fixes to some of the problems you are likely to come across with some widgets.
Success or not seems to depend on just which widgets you want displayed.

Precise 5.6 :
- # ayttm
** (process:21467): WARNING **: Error loading plugin: libaspell.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
- # gadmin-rsync
** (gadmin-rsync:26051): WARNING **: Couldn't find pixmap file: gadmin-rsync.png
- Why are there 2 different gtkdialog links ? /usr/bin/gtkdialog and /usr/sbin/gtkdialog
- Still those 3 big bad files :
/usr/lib/libLLVM-3.0.so.1
/usr/lib/libicudata.so.48.1.1
/usr/lib/seamonkey-2.17.1/libxul.so
Is it possible to remove the first 2 ones, and replace seamonkey with lighter software.

Precise 5.6.1 testing on K6-2 500 Subject description: Colonel Panic will see you now, Major Malfunction. ;-) |
|
After reading Barry's blog post about whether Precise could replace Wary, I've had a crack at running it on my trusty K6-2 500 machine and, as I suspected I might, I'm having problems.
I'm booting from the CD, effectively pfix=ram as I haven't set anything up yet. It's getting as far as setting up the layered file system, but is throwing a kernel panic at the switch root phase. I've attached a photo of the screen. At this point it is also flashing the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock lights on the keyboard.
There's a link to the HardInfo report from Wary 5.5 in my sig.

Hi Jades,
Do you get the same result if you press F2 as the CD boots and input:
puppy pfix=ram

Have you checked the md5sum to make sure you got a good download? I've had the same problem with bad ISO's due to faulty downloads.

retrovol +wifi(BCM4313) Subject description: some tunes to make puppy more userfriendly |
|
retrovol again doesn't choose/maybe it shouldn't? right snd_card (in my particular case have multiple cards). no big deal doing it manualy but that will not attract more users/maybe it shouldn't? [replaced hw:0 to hw:1 & unmuted speaker]. wifi works like a charm with SNS (simple network setup by BK) SEES NO MODULE in wlan section but WORKS (refused 'wl' for BCM4313 and no more experiments ). my #1 puppy. Thank's BK and others.

It's a first-time boot from the disc so there is no save, but it also does it if I explicitly tell it to boot pfix=ram - hardware may not be compatible but on other Puppies that don't work it explicitly mentioned the lack of cmov and I don't think they got as far as trying to switch root.

I always do, and it also passed Imgburn's verification routine after I burnt it.

Hi Jades,
Sorry to be pedantic but booting from a CD will not prevent puppy looking for and loading anything that contains the string “precisesave” that just might still be on a hard drive or attached device. Such an old file from another Pup will cause a panic.
The only ways to prevent this are:
F2 followed by “puppy pfix=ram” (the puppy followed by the space is vital)
Or
Before you boot from the CD rename any old precisesave files by placing an x at the start. E.g. xprecisesave.
The above may well not apply in your case but I think it is worth mentioning. That code is AFAIK the only certain way of preventing the automatic search for save files when booting from CD.

I should perhaps have made it clearer that it was the first time ever that I tried using Precise on that machine, and therefore there wouldn't be any Precisesaves for it to find.
I've just booted from the Precise CD on the Pentium D machine (that's what I'm typing this on) so the disc isn't the problem either.
The AMD K6-2 family are i586-class and lack the cmov instruction so stuff compiled for a minimum of i686 usually doesn't work (apps giving Ilegal Instruction errors when run from the command line). Dunno whether that's what's happening in this case.

Finally got around to moving to 5.6.1 on the Athlon XP install.Zero problems so far.
Pleasantly surprised by how fast the PPM updated the package database..... much,much faster than in the past. All looking good so far.

Do you still have a K6-2 machine? Be interesting to see if yours runs into the same problem with Precise that mine does.

I'll try to drag it off the shelf and give it a try later tonight.Kind of curious myself.
