Thank you rcrsn51 for bringing this to light.

I will get this in the next build, I will be getting from the Ubuntu repo's since it is now copyrighted and would need a commercial license.

Cheers

When I did a google search on this is what I found here http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/gnu/

I will download the one you posted and put it in woof for the next build thanks for the information.

Cheers

Yeller:

For the record, the Libre Pets in the Documents section of the form work perfectly, as well. I have 4.2 installed with no issues and no speed bumps. Both in PAE and Non-PAE Fluxpup.

Best,

Slavvo

Oldyeller:

I am writing to advise that I believe Fluxpup PAE and Non_PAE have the OpenSSL version 1.0.1 that is vulnerable to the Heartbleed bug.

Typing: "openssl version" in the terminal reveals 1.0.1

I refer to the following thread:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=93076

I have installed Shinobar's openssl-fix-1.0 pet located in the thread above and also installed the openssl_1.0.1g deb and libssl1.0.0_1.0 deb located in the thread (see below). Adding the debs was probably overkill but Shinobar's fix did not change the version number so I wasn't feeling completely comfortable with the fix. I recently asked him about this.

It contains 2 libraries under /lib from libssl1.0.0_1.0.1-4ubuntu5.12_i386.deb,
/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf from openssl_1.0.1-4ubuntu5.12_i386.deb

Type next command on the terminal to see the openssl updated.

Code: Select all

'Apr 7, 2014' is OK.

AND THE DEB PACKAGES FROM USER FANTAZAM:

Hi oldyeller, just wanting to let you know that I am really happy with this. I am dual booting this with SolydX. The only real issue I have found is that it runs the cpu fan at a higher speed. I am absolutely amazed how little ram this uses. After booting and running Audacious in the background, it uses 61 mb of ram. Boot up Firefox 29, still only uses 144 mb. That is outstanding. Thanks, Rob

Yeller:

First off, I noticed from your first post that your wife worked on the graphics for Fluxpup. Please congratulate her for a clean, well planned background for your distro.

Second, I think that I've identified the MPlayer issue (still testing my theory). It appears that it defaults to subtitles on, which for some reason defaults the screen to audio only unless you choose View from the top menu and pick a video ratio 1:1 or whatever.

Not positive on this but it seems to be the case, at least when playing my DVD's.

I suggest you have subtitles off by default in your new iso. Either way, I worked around it so it's just a suggestion.

It looks like I'll be doing a partition install over the weekend. Wish me luck!

Best,

Slavvo

G'day all,

I've just discovered FluxPup, it looks great. I don't think I've tried a Fluxbox distro before so when I saw it, I had to give it a try.

I'm impressed, and being a Puppy, I could make it my main linux.

I've installed it frugally and had only one minor glitch so far. The first run of PPM resulted in an application freeze but it seems to have rectified itself as there has been no recurrence.

All in all, I think it is great, keep up the good work.

@killapup
+1

This is exactly describing how I feel about this pup. Tried it on 3 different computers (i5, N270, T2400) and it simply works flawless on all 3. Even wireless printing works out of the box.

And the theme is nice. It simply looks good. And it has Opera.... It might become my desktop of choice.

Applause for all involved.

Edit: is there an NVidea driver for Fluxpup non-pae??

Hi.

File isolinux.bin has a wrong ownership.

Instead of root, root it has 1026, 1026.

See image.

I don't know if this will cause problems, though you'll get an error message, if copying such files to a vfat (fat32) partition.

Instead of root, root it has 1026, 1026.

I have had a look at precise puppies that Barryk did, at least I know from precise 5.5 and on and it is the same as any pup that I have built as well. Will have to see why it is this way.

Thanks, RSH

@Volhout, no there is not a NVidea driver for Fluxpup non-pae, one well have to be compiled.

EDIT: The ownership is correct root, root before being put into sandbox3 in woof. Once it gets put in there it changes ownership to 1026, 1026; I will need to talk with mick on this one.

Cheers

Please, tell him, I found this lately in several newer Puppies, though I can't remember which ones and I didn't make any notice about that - seems to be a woof-thing. I'm using a drag'n'drop-script to fix this for my local needs.

FluxPup is nice so far.

Did made a LazYFlux out of it.

Rosegarden from Precise Repo, Audacity 2.0.5 from Forum's Link and Ardour 3 from scabz seems to work pretty well in this. Also the GIMP from LP2_GimpPainter-2.8.7.sfs (LazY Puppy Repo) is working fine.

Hi RSH,

I just pm mick about the ownership.

LazYFlux looks really nice

Cheers

To my thinking, this is a problem with Barry's syslinux package (old 3 version) because it hasn't happened in Slacko since I used playdayz' version of isolinux.bin. (so it doesn't happen in Lupu or derivatives >> lazy ) It did happen in the old spup-100 series I built a number of years ago.
Not only is the ownership a problem but the permissions. It is supposed to be 0644 but we have something odd here caused by a file transfer over cifs. 0776. (Well that's the only time I have seen those perms, possibly to be compatible with ntfs/vfat ..Andrew Tridgell could enlighten on that one).

Further, in Slacko64, I use a template in woof to use the Slackware package and on the slacko64 iso, we have -rw-r--r-- 1 root root which is as it should be.

I did build and upload a package syslinux-4.0-modified.pet which does not have the ownership issue but does have the permissions issue. I'll fix that and reupload. This would be my booboo due to the aforementioned cifs 'feature'. (This affects slacko only as it is only in pet_packages-slacko14).

So, a couple of solutions are available.

• Try using the Ubuntu package and see if the woof template works.
• I can reupload the syslinux-4.0-modified.pet to the pet_packages-common repo with fixed permissions
• roll your own package and pass it on and I'll upload that.

NB: in the current iteration of woof-CE 'testing' syslinux >= 4.0 is fully supported thanks to a patch by shinobar to PUI.

Thanks mick,

will try Ubuntu package and see if the template works in woof-ce

Cheers

Hi oldyeller.

For now about two days I have neglected development of L.A.S.S.I.E. 003 to do some work on my remastered version of FluxPup.

After doing this posting, I've started to try to convert all of my scripts for the new JWM Menu Pipes in L.A.S.S.I.E. 003 for the use in Fluxbox.

Successfully!

So I have made a few remasters of now LazY FluX and added everything for my personal needs of a daily used OS when NOT developing.

Just added a few SFS P.L.U.S. RunScripts for the use of:

amarok, aqualung09b11, ardour35, audacity205, autoadjustimage_gui, blender263, CoreDraw8, CorelDream3D, CorelPhotopaint8, dvdstyler234, Firefox, flowblade0140, gimppainter287, gnewpet, gnewpet-wrapper, gnome-wave-cleaner, hydrogen096b, kdenlive092, kdenlive098, LaCie LightScribe, lightzone, lingot, lmms102, metaphorical_silhouette, openoffice4.0-start, openshot, pequalizer, Pixelitor_1.1.1, pixelize1001, plogo, PupSnap163, rosegarden111148, smartdeblur, tintii282, urbanlightscape132, vlc11748, wildfire163, wink and zynaddsubfx

including the SFS P.L.U.S. ToolKit to be able to create SFS Modules and RunScripts when necessary.

Anything else Application can be executed via the Menu Pipes that gives to me directly access to all Files, RoxApps, Portables for Wine and Linux, external RunScripts and SARA-RSD Applications. Files like html, pdf, jpg, mp3, mpg and/or .txt etc. are sent to a heavily modified version of the defaulthandler in /usr/local/bin which executes the default application dependent on the file extension - 58 defaultxxx scripts existing for this.

So, I just want to let you know, FluxPup is really a nice Puppy build and LazY FluX is now my daily used OS when NOT developing at my Home Computer Workstation.

Thanks!

RSH

I just wanted to thank you again for creating such an excellent distro. I've had some issues along the way but FluxPup remains my preferred distro. Stability goes a long way and so does FluxPup!

Thanks,

Slavvo67

Thanks,

RSH and slavvo67 I will be doing a new one once I get some programs made and other ones updated for my Manna OS.

Cheers

I'm very much looking forward to it!

Thanks,

Slavvo67

I just installed Flux Pup 1.5.1 on my old Dell with P4 processor and 1G ram. To my delight everything works: connection to my wired LAN, remote printing, streaming from YouTube. I'm an old Puppy user who has nevertheless learned nothing in all my years with the Pup, and I find that now I need to know nothing. Thanks.
