RC has been updated to RC3a
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Puppy215Downloads
use broadband and wget (in Puppy) and RW-DVD's (you can re-record many times on the same disk)
If you record using multmedia / burnISO2CD burner in Puppy it auto blanks the disk (even though it asks for a blank disk)
you can then test and offer suggestions. We are offering a Puppy Final for Good Friday

Once again I ask why just about the majority of releases of Puppy not originating from Barry himself.... do not run Xvesa when it is selected...and then annoyingly goes back to the prompt.
Barrys 2.16E still runs Xvesa with no hiccups. Hail to the chief.
I loathe Xorg and only choose it for laptops."...[snip]...
So still no Xvesa. ..........And all of this below.

I believe you are nearly over the finishing line.
The goal should not be how quickly you finished, but that you finish to the best of your abilities. |
Chris, you did you see my update to your post?
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=16582&start=34
The Xvesa problem was resolved AFAIK. Are you telling me it's back? Oh, poop! I just checked and those files are missing again!
There is something screwy going on here with Dougal's enhanced remaster script. It seems some changes I've made are not being added when the ISO is remastered. I'll keep my eye on the next release to make sure those changes are in the release before uploading. At least it lets me edit /etc before burning. *sheesh* - as if this wasn't hard enough already!
Cheers, and thanks for the heads up! On the question of release date, that is now out of my hands. There is another official release waiting in the wings and CE is holding that up. I have given my word, in good faith, that Puppy 2.15CE will release by Good Friday. From now until Wednesday is wart removal time!

That can be checked by doing "which progname" in a console. It will tell you which one it is pointing to. Running from a console should give the sfs version. Did Lobster try running it from the console?
Cheers

what do I type in at the console? xara does not hack it. More testers required . . .
Download RC3a + the sfs package with xara . . .

Xara works for me in a fresh 2.13, 2.15 install, can't comment otherwise, more testing & feedback required!! If the pgs_215.sfs doesn't work, it will be withdrawn.

In the pgs_215 addition, xara-gtk shoud be in the menu after running fixmenus, otherwise try xaralx-gtk from console. Please give feedback.

On my system it shows as xaraLX0.7 and boots as Xara Xtreme Linux Edition and seems to run fine.
Running from the console should expose any missing dependencies. Please post any errors here. I get the following errors when running from the console: Code: | (xaralx:28767): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_get_origin: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

Hope that helps.
Cheers

Problem relates to Rox 2.5 passing backdrop mouse clicks to the window manager instead of the script. When I uncheck that option under Compatability in Rox 2.5, Dougal's script runs as normal. Problem is we lose the ability to click on the backdrop to bring up the Icewm menu. *sigh*

Have cleaned out all cookies, etc. Hopefully that will resolve.
WhoDo wrote: | 8. Leafpad no longer runs from menu - segmentation fault when run at CLI - may be version specific and require regression to fix - Geany set as default in RC3 |
Have regressed Leafpad to v0.8.1 for Final. Program now runs normally.

Duplicated same errors on a fresh bootup. Seems to work OK though otherwise... I'll try to look into it in the next couple of days.
If run from console, run xaralx-gtk, not xaralx.
Thanks for the feedback.

almost complete |

It's almost complete - things are looking good.
1. There are missing icons in the menu, specifically in desktop, setup, utility, multimedia.
2. The browser font size seems one size too large; am able to do "CTRL -" and the font in my 800x600 screen looks just right.
3. What happened to the Flash icon and link in the help file - is it not required by the inclusion of the Flash Player plugin?
4. There is the "not found" message when xorg is activated at first boot - this is a first boot so perhaps that should not happen?
5. In 800x600 screen, the write, calendar, calc and help icons are stacked on top of each other at the top right corner. Same with trash and install at the bottom right corner. (For info only, may not be important if the default screen is really 1024x768.)
6. As the JWM config changer does not work, why not just remove the options and just leave the default? It's in /root/.jwm/themes.
7. The browser history is copied to the ISO. Perhaps clear the history before copying the browser profile to the remaster.
About the sfs add-ons, perhaps more polishing can come after the main release is done? Else there could be too much work in too short time.
Cheers!

I am happy with the offline web page, spent a few hours today simplifying
So unless anyone changes it quickly - there is still time, this is ready for inclusion in RC4 (Wednesday) and Final Friday
