This is an amazing Puplet! Definitely the Puppy I've been looking for. Only real complaint so far is mostly cosmetic: the network tray icon doesn't seem to indicate connection if I'm using a tether (from my phone) -- the icon still indicates that network is disconnected even if connected to a working tether. I installed a network_tray-2.7.2 PET that now seems to properly indicate a successful connection, but it still doesn't blink on data transfer and the tooltip erroneously reports the active connection being eth0 instead of the tether I'm using. Apparently this happens if there's more than one wired connection or something, and it doesn't seem to matter whether I use Frisbee, SNS, or others to manage the connection. The weird thing is, the network_tray icon worked perfectly in Carolina. Anyway, I can live with this little bug, but if someone can point me in the direction of a fix, that'd be great. :)

So yeah, frugal install of X-Precise 2.3 to HDD, and everything is looking fine. 8)

I am using now newest x-precise 2.3 - is there a posibility to install some pup, which allows me to choose during the shutdown to save or not to save (as it was at x-precise 2.2)?

Ascii Design

Ascii Design with the dependency figlet-2.2.5 included.

If you have other Qt apps installed that I first posted HERE, then you'll not need to install the Qt lib files.

Only requires libqtcore4_4.8.1-0ubuntu4.6_i386.pet and libqtgui4_4.8.1-0ubuntu4.6_i386.pet

For more fonts download this figlet_fonts.zip

To add them extract to /usr/share/figlet/ or anywhere you prefer and from the configure option change the path to the fonts.

ascii-design-1.0.3.pet

libqtcore4_4.8.1-0ubuntu4.6_i386.pet

libqtgui4_4.8.1-0ubuntu4.6_i386.pet

What kind of install do you have, USB?

Download and install this fix and see if that helps.

I was using x-precise 2.3 for a few days and sth is wrong with that save or not menu at shutdown. I have installed once some software just to test how it works - like spotify, chromium etc. then I chose to not save during shutdown, but despite I chose to not save, I have still spotify, chromium installed. The funny thing is that this software is now installed but it is not on uninstall list.

Are these pets or sfs? If they are sfs then update sfs-load to 2.0.8 and see if that sorts it out.

If these were pets: in PUPMODE=3/7/13 PPM copies packages' files directly into the savefile (pup_ro1), but all metadata goes to tmpfs (pup_rw), so not saving session results in exactly that kind of a mess - pet remains installed, but is not listed.
And this is only tip of the iceberg of possible mess this approach can make.

To avoid this, open up /usr/local/petget/installpkg.sh, find this line:

Code: Select all

if [ $PUPMODE -eq 3 -o $PUPMODE -eq 7 -o $PUPMODE -eq 13 ];then
(this line can begin also with elif, not if, in some of Puppies)
and replace with:

Code: Select all

if [ "ABC" = "DEF" ];then
(or elif, if this is the case)
what will make that everything will stay in pup_rw, until saved.

@Rg66: unfortunately, sfs_load-2.0.8 still causes vanishing of .wh files from pup_rw if PUPMODE=3/7/13 and SAVEINTERVAL=0.

X-precise 2.3 and Toshiba Chromebook

#326 Post by yerc1 »

Hi rg66

Thanks for X-precise!

Xprecise 2.3 on a USB install is almost perfect on my Toshiba Chromebook. Only two things - the Bluetooth and the touchpad - aren't working but then again a search on the web indicates this is true for other Linuxes.

There is a Toshiba touchpad patch in https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/4291581/

I'm not sure whether applying the patch in X-precise can be accomplished though a pet package or recompiling the kernel with the patch is the way to go. Either way I would very much appreciate if the fix is made available in Xprecise

Thanks in advance.

@ yerc1

I've never had any luck with bluetooth and puppy. Take a look at this link and give it a try. Read the xfce part.

http://themikex.blogspot.com/2012/05/bl ... linux.html

As far as the touchpad goes, I'm sure that requires patching and re-compiling the kernel. That's a bit much for me but I'm compiling the latest 3.15.1 kernel and will see if I can get X-precise to run with it. I've never had much luck with that either though.

If enough people are interested I will do a version 3.0 starting from scratch with compiled Xfce4 packages, this should fix the P3 / Athlon issue as it did with X-slacko.

If not, I will probably do a v2.4-final as precise puppy isn't being developed anymore.

I'll give the Bluetooth suggestion a go on the weekend.

Fingers crossed the recompile goes well.

Thanks for your response and for X-Precise.

rg66,

I love xprecise and I wish there is a way to get bluetooth working because I have a bluetooth mouse.

I have found a puppy that has bluetooth and it works with my bluetooth mouse. Thanks to CsipeszPup!

Precise 5.7.1 retro "CsipeszPup" released

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=93679



But I tried the bluetooth.sfs csipesz provided in his CsipeszPup with xprecise (Xfce based) and it doesn't work unfortunately. The task panel disappears in xfce when bluetooth.sfs is loaded. Even though I disabled compiz fusion in xprecise, the bluetooth.sfs makes the task panel disappear.

I really hope there is a way bluetooth can work in xprecise or xslacko.

it is good to know that I don't have to turn to full ubuntu linux to get a linux that has bluetooth function. I actually enjoy puppy linux more than ubuntu.

After a few hours of running around in circles I finally managed to get Bluetooth working in X-slacko. I couldn't browse my phone but I did transfer a file. I'll have to start from scratch and see which of the bazillion packages I installed are really needed.

Why X-slacko and not X-precise? I'm releasing X-precise-2.4 and calling it a day.

X-precise-2.4 delta's are available for download, ISO's coming soon.

This will be the final version of X-precise due to a lack of interest and the fact that precise puppy is no longer being developed.

Changelog? :D

I see that the patch for Toshiba track/touchpad didn't make it and so does bluetooth. Not deal breakers, but would have made this my perfect puppy.

I hope to see more of your xfce puppies after precise, rg66.
Thanks!
