Pup214R v1.01 uploaded Subject description: New iso with bugfixes and enhancements |
|
I've now uploaded pup214R-1.01.iso and is available from http://www.puppylinux.ca/puppyfiles/Pup214R/
Due to lack of time, I've not yet uploaded the iso to bexa.org.
This iso has a number of bugfixes that were reported on the forum plus som other enhancements.
I've also uploaded pup214R-sp1.pet to http://www.puppylinux.ca/puppyfiles/Pup214R/
This dotpet 'service pack 1' has all of the changes in pup214R-1.01.iso except for the updated initrd.gz. The new initrd.gz hopefully fixes the multisession bug that was reported on the forum.

initrd.gz and sp1.pet |

initrd.gz and sp1.pet could then be used by simply rebuilding the ISO. Hope you can upload these two files together.

Service Packs,,, Excellent, Just what the doctor ordered. So many people in other forums get a bit peeved when a new puppy comes out and you have to update it it and you lose your desktop icons that changed or your backgrounds, menu items etc, Thats the great thing about working on 2.14R and only 2.14R you able to do something that normal mainstream puppy can't offer "Service Packs" Anyways "good on ya" ttuuxxx

Hello pakt,
Good to see I'm not the only one who likes Puppy version 2.14
TEENpup will stay will Puppy 2.14 as its base for a little while yet.
This version of Puppy seems to suit alot of PC's from old to new and still lets you get most apps made for Linux working on it. I know it only has glibc 2.3.5 and this can stop alot of apps from working that require glibc 2.4 as a minimum, but normally you can get an earlier version of that app working.
Long Live Puppy Version 2.14 Keep those new Apps coming!

Hello Dougal,

Maybe there's a problem with your graphic card when shutting down X.
You should try selecting "exit to prompt" from the menu, then type "wmreboot" and see if it reboots and gives you the option to create a save file. |
I downloaded 214R-1.01.iso file, and tried your solution. And it become successful.
These are my method;
1. Boot 214R from CD.
2. Menu - Shutdown - Exit to prompt
3. # wmreboot
(then messages below)
killall: X: no process killed
killall: X: no process killed
#
4. # xwin
(X restart)
5. Menu - Shutdown - Exit to prompt
6. Save confirm screen appeared !
<SAVE TO FILE> <SAVE TO CD> <DO NOT SAVE>
7. I could save my strage file / pup_save.2fs.
Thank you.

Thanks for this Pup214R v1.01 upload version.
I try it and all went OK on the first load of multisession CD: country, languaje, xorg, mouse, etc.
After setup the network and internet, go to reboot and save on CD multisession.
With puppy pfix=debug,
During the second load of multisession CD, the bugs messages start again:
Creating tmpfs for .... done
Coping /pup_214R.sfs to ...... done
/mnt/dev_save2007-12-22-13-00 : NO such file or directory.
then after other red colour messages...system freeze.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I notice something:
When I load puppy2.15CE version, the load sequence order is:
Loadind folder 2007-12-etc etc
Creating and Mounting tmpfs on ....
Coping zdrv_215.sfs ....
Coping pup_215.sfs to ramdisk and mount ...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
So there is a diference on the load sequence order of the stuff.
I dont know if this is important, but could be the reason of the bug on initrd.gz ?.

Puppy 2.14R Bugs |
|
Hi, excellent work on the 2.14r series...just what the puppy community needs...a well supported and stable puppy! I have been using it for a week or so, and have been very impressed. I have found a few small errors.
The seamonkey browser icon on the desktop launches a browser window, but when it is clicked again it doesnt open a second one! I know seamonkey has some issue, where previously a message has been displayed saying "please open a new browser window from the already running seamonkey", and this works when the email app in seamonkey is clicked when the browser is already open, but not the browser icon itself. Of course the ideal solution would be to get it to open another browser window when it is clicked.
The flash version included in 2.14r is version 9,0,31,0, which I have found contains quite a few bugs, and is also incapable of playing videos on many popular sites (like facebook). The latest version is 9,0,115,0, whgich I have found more stable, and also capable of playing videos full screen. I understand this version is slightly larger.
With gxine, in a "normalised" window state, switching to full screen doesnt work when playing a video or mp3. When it is maximised first, then it can be switched to full screen no problem (strange!).
I tried a quick audio cd burn from mp3 with Gcombust (the interface is very complicated is there a simpler package?), but the resulting cd just played static. Does it need liblame or something?
Also, .torrent files are not associated with transmission-gtk, so when they are downloaded from the web they dont open automatically. I find generally that puppy has good support for a lot of file types, but they are not always set up to open with the correct program. This is quite important to end users, especially with first-time-linux users who are anxious that their files will be compatible.
Im really glad the multiple pup_save support has been backported to 2.14r along with the other features. I do miss the updated pdf reader used in the 3.xx series as I have found xpdf lacking on many occaisions). I also miss the updated lite webbrowser on the 3.xx series. Ive been impressed with the skipstone browser and I believe its very small, could this be added instead of dillo?
Many thanks again for all the hard work thats gone into this!

ecomoney....
I am rather against removal of dillo...
Dougal: if you leave sheepspool.swf in the it should be started with bareview and not seamonkey so there are no navegation buttons etc...

Hello ecomoney,
I've been told that the Flash Plug-in version 9,0,115,0 isn't really compatible with Puppy 2.14 base lib's EG: Glibc 2.3.5 I don't know how much true is in it?
I found in testing on older PC's that Youtube Video's would miss a lot of frames per second using version 9,0,115,0 where by the earlier flash 9,0,48,0 plug-in played the same Youtube video's just fine.

Ive tried the new flash in ecopup, which is 2.15ce based with no problems, but I have a fairly hefty 800mhz (by puppies standards) celeron with a 32mb graphics card and 256mb RAM, so I wouldnt know about the framerate issue.
