I will tell here if I lose connection. Then I go back and use Quirky as my main puppy and use LupQ if I need some Ubuntu music Studio or such when I feel for music.

Edit: Works good so far.

Puppy Package Manager(PPM) of recent woof has 2 big problem with furugal install on flash.

PROBLEM
Assume furugal install with pupsave on flash device, using recent PPM.

1. Install, say somepackege-1.0.pet, unistall it, then again install the same package or the same package updated, say somepackage-1.1.pet .
   The files somepackage must recover in most case.
   But recent PPM with frugal install, the PPM shows no error but the files disappear.
   In case uninstall, then reboot PC, and re-install the package, the files recover with no problem.
   
2. Installing some packages which has files under '/mnt/home', the PPM shows no error but the files under '/mnt/home' disappear.

REASON
There is a bug at the code add on 26 Apr 2010 and later, for boot from flash, bypass tmpfs top layer, install direct to pup_save file.

SOLUTION
Attached /usr/local/petget/installpkg.sh bugfixed.
It is for next release on LupQ(-510), but may work on any Puppies 4.x/5.x.
Note: the encounter measure for the problem 2, is already implemented in the LupQ-509.
Bugfix against the problem 1 is the new code from the LupQ-509.

I tried to find the answer using the wellminded search but failed due to me have no idea how to chose right key words.

I try to play .rm and .ram files. I guess that is RealAudioMedia or maybe RealMovie? for .rm?

I tried to play them using the built in GNOME Mplayer but it fails.

For Lucid Puppy which player are supposed to play these files?

All else seems to work very good. Okay I have not dared to start spotify yet.

I would prefer a GUI program.

I did a search and found this one.

I'm still using lupq 509 but I will download 510 and test.

These observations apply to version 509

Some suggestions to save a bit of space in the ISO.

I'm not sure if these 2 files are needed ...

/usr/share/doc/nls/ffconvert
/usr/share/doc/nls/ffconvert/ffconvert_ja.po
/usr/share/doc/nls/ffconvert/ffconvert.pot


The application 'retrovol' can be stripped to half it's size
by Iguleder's program strippkg.

As well there's a new version of Asunder available
but I don't know if it's worth upgrading

lupq-510 rc :

Runs very well on my hardware as almost all Puppies.

Internet Broadband : OK
Printed from geany without even printing the testpage

ICEWM hasn`t any Menu as far as I can see and there is no WM switcher at both WM

Midori is freezing sometimes or killed all of a sudden at all puppies somehow. Even the installation of the larger Midori at other Puppies from technosaurus post for midori seems to be just a little better for that. Also SeaMonkey at dpup-005 shows such behaviour .....

~20 MB less than luci 511 standard

Danke Karl.

Bonjour shinobar,
"merci " for your time and energy with this new lupq-510 !
I will test it in a short future.
Here on lupq-509 using only midori for googling some information, when clicking to download a pdf file, there came a 1st dialog box asking whether to save/save as/cancel/open;
if click on open, then a dialog box "Encrypted Document" asks for password.
if click on save, then the well saved pdf file can be normaly opened whithout any password- nor encryption- warning.
I installed Panzerkopf forum member's "gv.gz" (see link here after)
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=428669&sid=ff289a383e8df15d6e39222
but without any change.
On another PC + lupq-509 + Panserkopf's gv.gz + Firefox browser, the same pdf document is opened without any warning.

Is this another "limit" of midori.?

A plus tard, Charlie

Hi, charlie.

[shinobar]

I uploaded lupq-510s.iso.
825f0afcb920196f2d827fbd60426c5a lupq-510s.iso
The version indicates '510', same as the last lupq-510.iso.

• Abiword and some excutable and libraries was not stripped. They are all stripped.
  
• Removed sylpheed shared libraries not used.
  
• 'LC_ALL=C' in /usr/sbin/pupdial because the PupDial seem to fail with some European locale.

Hopefully this is the final.

Hi again shinobar!
on a PIII 600MHz+384KRam+2MB swap partition (163MB free space)
+frugal install of lupq-509+wine-1.1.43+fontmap-8.11-lupu-1+lang-pack-support-fr+efax-gtk-3.2.4-lucid+gsfonts-8.11-lup
(No firefox nor any other quickpet program installed)

problem:
Early this morning, a couple of minute after bootup, I opened midori + moved the mouse cursor rather fastly across the screen while DSL modem connection process to internet (not yet achieved at that moment), X server hanged up - i.e. got a black screen and the following comments:
