Hello,
Yea, tempted as I was to include some `evaluation versions` in the Wine for PAW, I thought better when the ever vigilant Lobster called me on Notepad and Paint at Beta-2.... Embarassed

P123 · Posted: Mon 05 Apr 2010, 05:54 Post subject: Bug report

I downloaded PAW RC-2 yesterday.

It detects & says it is connected to ethernet & wifi but is not.

There is 3 hard drives & the cd detected but I only 1 hard drive (which is not detected) & the cd.

I am using a Toshiba Satellite L30-101 with the ram upgrade to 2GB.

The programs included in the description sound fantastic its just a pity I can not connect to any media to play with them.

The included themes are great.

Hello,
@P123, Hello, and thanks for trying PAW out...(Or trying to...LOL)
1. The drive icons are a legacy issue, brought up earlier in the thread... Go to "Menu / Desktop / Desktop drive icons manager and check the "Tick box to erase and redraw" ect. box and restart X, that should fix it..
2. PAW actually has extensive Wi-Fi drivers and firmware and should pick up your card(s) right off, even the "dreaded" bcm.xxx cards..As for ethernet, that should be no problem with any Puppy...Did the md5sum match your D/L..?? Do other Puppies see it OK?...
3. Sorry for the halted progress on my part...My 3 yr old son kicked in the video connection on the back of my desktop and busted the Mobo..My work is (assumably) safe on the HDD, but gotta set up another box to run it from...I believe the old "dinosaur" P3-600 is finally, after 11 yrs, done for... Sad

.All of PAW,Transitions, Buddapup,and even Icepup are on it, so kinda set me back a bit.)...No worries, I have a P4-1.6 box ready, just hunting ram for it...A lot of my stuff went missing during my divorce, so gotta hunt it down elsewhere now...Be up and running again soon....Tell then, the old broken, half duct tape laptop has to suffice...LOL...

been a while since I posted here. thought I would try out RC2 but couldn't find it. the MD5sum is there but not the iso.
I've been out playing recently and found a neat application for HDR manipulation. it's called Qtpfsgui (not sure how you'd pronounce that). I don't know just how big or difficult it would be to offer but it really is cool.
here are a couple photos I've produced with it. some just enhancements and some more artistic.

@ fleetwood...it's been mirrored on my server for quite a while now, where has the iso disappeared from?

I've just done a frugal install of PAW RC2. Initial impression is good, though I had to re-name the .sfs file ( as per jade14's first post ) to get it to boot Live CD. First major problem - I'm in the UK - is that although I've set UK keyboard in the keyboard/mouse wizard I'm still stuck with a US layout, apparently something is broken. Also Firefox doesn't open with CUPS when you try to add a printer - which is how I found I still had a US keymap, wanting to use hash to comment out a couple of lines in cups_shell which I thought might be the problem. Shocked

The only other thing to mention, which isn't a major issue for me, is that the Chickasha weather seems to have glued itself to Sysmon in widgets. Most weird!
Tomorrow - it's 22.10 local time now -I'll try setting up my Wacom tablet and see how that plays with Gimp. Keep up the good work Puppyluvr.

Supplemental. Wacom tablet installed OK, I couldn't get Gimp to see it as ' extended input device ', but that might be finger trouble on my part. If it weren't for the keyboard issue I'd be very tempted to persevere and make PAW my graphics set-up of choice.
EDIT. It was Embarassed

For anyone who wants to add a Wacom tablet to PAW, follow Pizzasgood's guide, then activate ' Linux input ' in Gimp preferences, enter the device as </input/wacom> and you should be good to go.

Hello,
Glad to see PAW is still thriving in my absence...
I will continue to update PAW, but at a limited pace ATM...
Anyhow, I am still here, still working on PAW...
Thanks for enjoying my "baby", a lot of my heart went into it....
Hell, it cost me a marriage, LOL....

Hope the humour/self confidence will return intact....you always made me smile with quips like....

"We are Puppy....Resistance is Futile"..... Shocked

Good Luck
