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

[James C]

I will post tomorrow the download link. The most curious ones know from where to grab the iso anyway.

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.

I compiled a Raring version of mhwaveedit 1.4.23

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

[don570]

The devx file can be loaded with Shinobar's SFS on-the-fly program
which is a right click item in some Puppies or a utility app
in other puppies.

It will be permanently loaded in the pupsave file afterwards.

Thanks...put the lib file where it was needed...no need now to load the dev.x file

Loaded & opened fine on my old Panasonic Toughbook CF-29.

Will thrash around on it tomorrow and report back ...

Had a minute to test a little ...

While Console is unresponsive I am able to open LXterminal from within a Rox-filer window.

I did reboot with devx set to load.

Seamonkey does not respond from the Desktop or the Menu, xChat doesn't respond from the Menu, PuppyPhone does try to install from the Menu but I didn't test any of the steps.

More tomorrow ...

Once the devx was installed all the desktop icons launch programs, I
added vlc,clementine,xine,firefox,and dosbox with ppm and they all work
fine.
I compiled the latest midnight commander and it's dependency slang,the
latest xfe and it's dependency fox toolkit and that works too.

So apart from the missing gcc lib 3992 is working well.

Thank you all of the feedback. Updating gcc has not been seamless. I will rewoof the build with missing gcc lib included to the main sfs. That gcc version mismatch needs also inspection. Maybe some older gcc 4.6 lib has crept in.

At least devx sfs has become familiar to the users. Lol.

Sorry of the inconvenience. The aim was good. Offering newer gcc for demanding compiling needs.

[Billtoo]

That gcc version mismatch needs also inspection. Maybe some older gcc 4.6 lib has crept in.

I think the gcc version mismatch is because the kernel source sfs was compiled with the old gcc version.

Then again, I could be wrong

[pemasu]

Billtoo. I think you are right. That is not good. This makes me evaluate the gcc update again. Should I still revert back to the previous 4.6 version.
I will test by compiling some kernel module asap.

Thanks.

EDIT. I compiled latest NVIDIA 319 with getnvidia. It compiled ok and in nvidia-installer.log has no gcc mismatch errors. There is though error of not found header file but it didnt prevent the compile. That error is probably new kernel and changed location of some header files. Need of checking the symlinks to point newer location. I will inspect that.

Anyway...I am going to rewoof the build. I found the problem. gcc_lib row was wrongly created in DISTRO_SPECS. The reason of wrong location found. I just have to say that you have been fast with pinpointing the problem.

Thank you all.

[rcrsn51]

Peasy DVD Player added.

If you are going to woof a new version, could you get v1.1 instead? It has some corrections in the Help.

[pemasu]

rcrsn51. Will do. Thanks. I checked the header file error in NVIDIA log.
The header files are in place. I am not sure what is the problems with them. Anyway...what I checked people log errors....it seems to be in all of those logs and it wasnt the culprit. It seems to be problem how NVIDIA installer checks them. And it does not stop compiling. I let it be. Nothing I can do now with my knowledge.

The new woof is processing. I create new build in the evening.

Because I tested gcc upgrade, the first thing when I booted 3.9.9.2 build was to load devx sfs and try the compiling and fix the errors I noticed. Usually I also load devx sfs very soon. I feel naked around comp if I dont have compiling environment around. Lol.
That is why I didnt notice the bug with the missing lib.

[linux28]

Before using a good, but since increased to 4GB of memory after boot for a while, if the file is read big points automatically restart, how do?

[tlchost]

No longer see icon in taskbar to select turbo or perfomance mode.

Installed laptop tools ... doesn't seem to solve problem. Would appreciate it being included in next distro.

thanks

Hi pemasu

Just noticed that suspend no longer works when closing the laptop lid.

This is a 1st for one of your puppies, they all previously worked.

Otherwise a superb puppy - many thanks - regards Ray

[pemasu]

I believe that missing ppower and failing suspend are both side-effects of defective gcc_lib installation. They work for me...and are included.

I would wait the rewoofed and reuploaded version.
Just got home....now comes maslow's hierarchy of needs: food, children, cooking and the Upup Raring....
