PPM happily finds cinelerra in Puppy5 official.

Test URLs gives a string of 200s but Download comes back 'Not available'

Updating and restarting doesn't fix it.

Can someone please verify?

Tia, Cheerio.

If you need cinelerra download it from:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-5/

Have you updated packages in PPM? The above link works.

Thanks Watchdog,

I can download directly OK, that copy is a couple of versions stale but will be fine for my purposes.

But PPM still won't play ball - that's what I meant by 'Updating and restarting doesn't fix it.'

Can someone try fetching Cinelerra via PPM in case it's a general problem and not just me?

Cheerio,

I can confirm this with and hpze4900 with snd_intel8x0m module loaded.
Blacklisting the snd_intel8x0m module in the /etc/hotplug/blacklist file resolves the problem.

What was behind the decision to use kernel 3.9.11 ?

#291 Post by psionprime »

I see that precise 5.7.1 is using kernel 3.9.11. Why ? Research curiosity only; absolutely nothing confrontational or demanding. I appreciate all the efforts that have gone into Puppy Linux !

I have a project in mind and want stability so I'm making a tool chain with Ubuntu 12.04.x LTS in mind. Looking over Puppy I was happy to see a release for Precise which is the Ubuntu label for 12.04.x LTS. This looked great so I can do some things in both distributions under the the theory if I make a .deb in the Ubuntu environment with the same kernel and gnu tool chain I should be able to just install it in puppy precise 5.7.1. When confirming versions for my tool chain I notice the Ubuntu kernel is 3.8.x

Further digging sees that kernel 3.9.11 is an end of life release and for Ubuntu "Saucy" 13.10 though the Ubuntu Saucy release I looked over is using kernel 3.12 ?

What was involved in the decisions to not use the regular Precise kernel version ? I plan on using OpenCL and restricted video drivers that build off the kernel sources so am concerned about getting my tool chain right for that. I've also posted a question in the beginner board about not being able to complete a woof2 5.7.1 build out-of-the-box.

Thanks all for the opportunity to work with this neat distribution. Appreciate any thoughts and pointers !

You can still install that deb package and it will work, different kernel versions will not be a problem.

aufs and other puppy patches, but not sure why not 3.10 ... it is LTS now

Hi oldyeller

Try adding acpid - http://puppylinux.org/wikka/acpid

I add acpid-1.0.10-3.pet for LxPup

Trouble is I can't remember where it came from, but there is one at:

Hello Shinobar,

I tried to run your acpid-busibox-2.pet package in a French Racy Puppy 5.5, but the process after pressing the "Suspend" button stops during the process.
Do you know why?

Cordialement, :wink:

Does the busybox support acpid?
The acpid-busybox is prepared only for the Precise Puppy.

Bonjour à toutes et tous,

@shinobar,
Thank you for your reply.
We have created a symlink from /usr/bin/acpi to /bin/busybox and it works, but only once.
How to restart the process automatically when reactivation, to restart again a new hibernation?

Cordialement ;)

I am not sure why, but the precise has the symlink at /sbin/acpid to /bin/busybox.

/etc/init.d/rc.acpi checks the busybox functions by 'busybox --list', but older version of busybox does not support '--list' option.
replace 'busybox --list' by 'busybox' at line 7 in /etc/init.d/rc.acpi:

Code: Select all

if [ "$(busybox | grep acpid)" = "" ]; then

puppy goes to erased partition

#303 Post by oui »

Hi

I did reorganize the hd from pc of my wife using the tools of Puppy (gparted, rox) and did erase partition sda6.

Puppy Precise is now in the dir "precise" in the root of sda5

as you can see on the screenshot in this message gparted shows no partition sda6 any more.

but Puppy Precise shows an icon sda6 and points on it as the mounted partition for home and will probably organize a real chaos if trying to write on an absent partition :twisted: :!:

I suppose that it is comming from the save file that my wife is always using in Puppy :oops: (bad idea those save files...)?

are the save file not portable?

kind regards

Just tried 5.7.1 and seems fairly normal. Had shutdown Save file failure I`ve seen before.
Won`t go past first Save file screen, so I restarted the X server and it worked.
But the Save file wizard was completely messed up and reported not saved at shutdown.
Booted back into 5.4.X.5 and looked in the 5.7.1 dir. and there is a Save file in it.

This problem is one of the many I spoke of often that have been around for way too long.
It doesn`t look like it`d be all that hard to fix it. How about a bug swatting thread for them?
