Upup Raring 3.9.9.2 with non-PAE 3.9.9 kernel. 13 July 2013

[pemasu]

Edoc. The green tick means that the packages are installed...but ubuntu has several versions of certain packages. If you have installed one, then it does not show unticked the other version for certain. Gcc is one of them.
Anyway...the fix lies in installing enough newer compile stuff. I was able to get the make passing that error. But I dont have anymore gnuradio development headers in my comp...so I couldnt compile it.

I had that one big session with gnuradio. But then my 1 Gb savefile was eaten up...and I believe I wont continue with gnuradio anymore. It was interesting trial, but I noticed that you really have to have motivation and hobby to continue.

But...upgrading g++ and gcc stuff enough fixes that error. I can quarantee that.

OK, I will see what comes up when I request gcc in PPM and download it until things work.

BTW: If it matters I do have the devx SFS set to load at boot.

I moved my SDHC card to another pc which has a different ati card in
it, the laptop has ati hd 5470 graphics, this pc has hd 8500 graphics.
There is an unsupported hardware thing in the lower right corner of
the screen but the graphics are the fastest yet of any ati card that
I've used so it's definitely working.

Added: gcc-multilib_4.7.3

still failed ...

Added: gcc-4.7-source_4.7.3 (not sure this helps in any way & sure is big).

still failed ... (Should I uninstall gcc-4.7-source_4.7.3 to save space?)

I decided to update the PPM files then to try again ...

Added gcc-multilib_4.7.3 again ... gcc-multilib_4.7.3-lubuntu10_i386.deb failed and appears to be broken everywhere via PPM so I grabbed it via pkgs.org -- but it still failed.

Also downloaded it from here:
http://mirror.tspu.edu.ru/ubuntu/ubuntu ... -defaults/
Still failed.

What is necessary to get that file fixed, please?

BTW: g++_4.7.3-lubunti10_i386.deb from the same mirror loaded fine.

I also had to download g++-4.7-multilib as a missing dependency.

Any idea why the audio from the laptop with Raring is not being received via HDMI at the TV, please?

I've tried every setting I can think of on the laptop and the TV.

Thanks!

I cannot tell you how or why but was tinkering with the Dell - Raring combo & suddenly a HDMI option showed up in the Audio selections - and it works!

Hi pemasu,

Raring 3.9.9.1's been installed on both my quad-core desktop and my Thinkpad T42, and is, as Billtoo said, working great. With one exception: Did you ever get a chance to examine the resize SaveFile Script. Both my above mentioned systems experience the same error reported by Fabio T, http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 656#715656?

Edit: Work-around devised. See next couple of posts

[pemasu]

mikeslr. Yes. I have reverted to use woof included one. For now...you have to swap the /usr/sbin/resizepfile.sh from other puppy. I thought the updated version found from murga-forum would be good. It worked for me...so I thought it is ok. The improvements in dialog were good ones.

I will update Upup Raring at some time....

[mikeslr]

Hi pemasu,

Despite that I have the memory of a teflon coated strainer, once in a while something sticks. Even Chaos per-chance gives rise to some order. Before reading your above post, recalling that in other circumstances people who actually knew what they were doing had suggested substituting a working version of something for a non-working version, I flinched the resizepfile.sh from Upup3.7.2 and copied it into raring 3.9.9.1. Worked.
For those who want it, I've attached the file. Change "false zip" ending to ".sh" without the quotes. Copy to /usr/sbin and say yes to "Overwrite".
I've explored most of the pups you've developed. Currently, Upup 3,7.2 is the first (ergo default) choice on my grub4dos menu. But Raring may be the best yet. Thanks for all your hard work.

Hi Pemasu,
ref:http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 4&start=89
again on the gnumeric-1.12.1-/Menu/View/FreezePane-display-problem's trail ... :

considering that:
1. the on-wheezy-3.5.2.5-home-compiled-[gnumeric-1.12.1 + gtk3.0] installed from debian wheezy repo, works
1.1. flawlessly on wheezy-3.5.2.5, which has that-good-old-2.8.6-Abiword i.e. without gtk3.0
1.2. presenting the /Menu/View/FreezePane-display-problem on wheezy-3.5.2.7, which has 2.9.2-Abiword + gtk3.0;
2. that the same /Menu/View/FreezePane-display-problem is present on uPup-Raring-3.9.9.x (x= nothing or 1 as now) which has gtk3.0;
3. that the on-wheezy-3.5.2.5-home-compiled-[gnumeric-1.12.1 + gtk3.0] present the same undesirable behaviour on uPup-Raring-3.9.9.x; but NOT on Precise-5.7.1;

then:
imho, those already-embedded-gtk3.0's stuffs might be the culprit of that undesirable behaviour, as gtk3.0 is the thing in common between wheezy-3.5.2.7 and Raring-3.9.9.x.

Hope this could help
Cheers,
Charlie

Charlie6. I compiled goffice latest and gnumeric latest ie gnumeric-1.12.4. And the view > freeze panes bug seems to be gone.

Does it hurt if next Upup Raring has latest Gnumeric ?

[Billtoo]

One problem that I found is that pmount won't mount a dvd.

[pemasu]

Billtoo. I think it has been fixed when I build with latest woof.

[charlie6]

Pemasu,

Charlie6. I compiled goffice latest and gnumeric latest ie gnumeric-1.12.4. And the view > freeze panes bug seems to be gone.
Does it hurt if next Upup Raring has latest Gnumeric ?

great ! ...uh! it does'nt hurt at all ...it's welcome !
Thanks again!

I am now uploading Upup Raring 3.9.9.2.
Latest woof and ubuntu raring with latest updates used.
The non-US keyboard layout bug has been fixed. Gnumeric updated to the latest. Own compile. Blame me. Ffconvert, Pmusic and Pburn updated.
In the menu is now new item: pRun by Radky.
Several scripts has been fixed according to findings in Slacko development. Most of those fixes are from SFR. They are not yet in woof.
New network item for nfs sharing...Nfs mounter. Created by mikeb whom is back in forum. I remember him from 2009-2010, from his deep insight of linux. I am not sure if it is compatible with new kernel without script edition. But is in menu for those nfs share users to test.

Get_libreoffice in menu under Document. Calculator count reduced. I have separate sfs of one hundred calculators for those who miss the lost ones. Xonclock with gui in menu under Desktop. One new gtk and jwm theme by recobayu. Pnethood and Network rox app fixed. Peasy DVD Player added. Wallpaper setter called gwp now default wallpaper switcher by Nathan F whom is also back, at least creating Puppy compatible stuff. Gcc-4.7.3, upgraded from 4.6.X version, some bleeding edge compiles needs this update. I hope the upgrade is ok. My test compile worked. It needed quite a work to get it right. Seamonkey 2.19....yeah...yeah...why not Firefox - Opera - QtWeb - Chromium -- Dillo - separate browser sfs... etc...no...it is Seamonkey 2.19. Period. Why ? Well...it just is...
Glib bug: GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size == 0' failed .....probably will be unfixed in Raring.

The problem goes deep to the glib development and there just isnt anyone willing to do anything to the bug. There is no new posts about the fix in months. The bug affects several distros using glib over 2.36.
It might be that the bug will stay long. Just like gtk filechooser single click. It has stayed open from 2004.
My used fix according to the bug thread: G_SLICE=always-malloc /usr/lib/seamonkey/seamonkey "$@"
That G_SLICE=always-malloc inhibits mozilla apps crash, but does not inhibit the error message in terminal. It might slow down a little the Seamonkey launching time...nothing remarkable anyway.

I will post tomorrow the download link. The most curious ones know from where to grab the iso anyway. Now it is time for me to take a brake.

Manual frugal install to the hard drive of a Gateway desktop pc.

When compiling the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-325.15.run it gave an error about
mismatched gcc versions but it also gave the option to continue which I
did and it compiled and seems fine.
No time for more testing right now but will do more later.
It's been a couple of days since a new pup was released so this will
prevent boredom from setting in
Thanks

You know me....downloading now.....

[rcrsn51]

I got a copy from here.

The checksum is correct and it launches fine. But many of the desktop icons are dead.

[Edit] The culprit appears to be a missing libgcc_s.so.1

[Edit] This file is in the devx.

The culprit appears to be a missing libgcc_s.so.1

So, if I wanted not to load up the dev.x file at every boot...what would I copy from the dev.x to where?

thanks
