Wary Puppy 5.1.1 Final

[abushcrafter]

The cancel button in IPInfo does not work.

Patriot has shipped a gtkdialog version that makes it possible to close launched dialog from main dialog.

Code: Select all

<action type="closewindow">LAUNCHED_DIALOG</action>

This patch (Is that the word?) seams to be missing in Wary so some GTKDialog GUIs don't close like ttuuxxx's Pup-Shots program.

What cancel button? IPInfo doesn't have a cancel button. Not the one I'm using in Wary anyway.

For anyone who is interested, Wary has now got to 5.1.1.56, which is "5.1.2 beta2":

There are small delta files for easy upgrading from Wary 5.1.1.

When trying to upgrade xorg 7.3 to 7.5 I have been running into the following problem with Wary 5.1.1.

First boot, I run through the xorg wizard and set up a fresh pup save. I then install the Xorg upgrade pet from the repo and reboot. After the reboot X will not start, giving the following error in Xorg.0.log:

Code: Select all

(EE) XKB: Couldn't open rules file /usr/X11R7/share/X11/xkb/rules/base
XKB: Failed to compile keymap
Keyboard initialization failed. This could be a missing or incorrect setup of xkeyboard-config.

Fatal server error:
Failed to activate core devices.

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support 
	 at http://wiki.x.org
 for help. 
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.

I'm assuming a config file is missing or the newer version of xorg is looking in a different place.

I was able to work around the problem once (I can't remember exactly what I did) by installing the package, restarting with nox, and then re-running xorgwizard. Unfortunately, my pupsave was corrupted shortly after and I can't get xorg to cooperate again.

It was nice while it lasted. Xorg 7.5 gave me ~ 2000 fps (glxgears) with dri enabled. This is using a Radeon x1650 pro AGPx8.


I have not tried with the new Wary beta yet.

Since no Puppies from 4.3.1 to 525 will see this USB hard drive, I am very happy to use Wary, the latest Puppy that will do this. A few, perhaps trivial, requests.
1. I prefer a 12-hour clock. I believe Lupu 525 has a utility for changing the clock from 24 to 12 hours.
2. When the Rename dialog is running it is not represented on the task bar. This makes it almost impossible to have the Rename dialog on top of windows, after its initial appearance. After user clicks space, and the dialog recedes, the only way to re-acquire the Rename dialog is to use Show Desktop, but toggling Show Desktop will not place Rename dialog on top of a window. I rename files constantly, and frequently the spelling is so difficult (eg Polish) I have to go back and forth to get the spelling right. When I can place the Rename dialog on top of a window, I can type a name and title as I look at them. It's easy to put the Rename dialog on top of a window when it is represented on the task bar. Under the current circumstances I haven't found a way to do this, and I would rather do it the way I'm accustomed to.

VLC Plus Extras is awesome, doesn't get much better than this.

After 4 or 5 hours of continuous operation, with a couple idle times of 30 minutes or so, the sound gets corrupted, and finally deteriorates into a two-note loop which can only be fixed by rebooting. HardInfo says audio adapter SiS SI7012 (SiS AC'97 onboard sound). Not a show-stopper, but occasionally a pain.

I'm giving 5.1.2 a whirl on some very old hardware--Sony Vaio Picturebook PCG-CV1N. Crusoe 600mhz CPU and 114 available RAM.

One thing I can't find, and maybe it's not a choice with this setup: I can't seem to find a module for temperature or for thermal so I can monitor temperature in a conky.

Can I do that in Wary 5.1.2?

I guess this is for ttuuxxx. I accidentally acquired a mp4 file and it played okay in MPlayer. But when I played it with VLC Plus Extras, it didn't show video while it played audio. Here is the YT video in question:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTP6z3bHKOc
I am curious whether the general class of mp4 will play with VLC Plus Extras, or is this particular video an oddball. Or perhaps it is the method of capture, via tmp directory.

EDIT: A little more tinkering and it gets funkier. When I select VLC with the "Open With" dialog, the track plays correctly with video and audio. When I "Set Run Action" to VLC, only audio plays in VLC player, and the screen is black (blank),

EDIT2: Meh, something is going on with VLC, behaving sporadically. Only occasionally shows video; more typically a black screen. MPlayer working good. I uninstalled VLC and qt4 package, then re-installed, but no joy.

Answer to my own query:
In VLC, Tools > Preferences > Show settings-All > Video: uncheck 'Overlay video output'

EDIT: Argh, this is not a satisfactory solution.

A few years ago I reported that wary 5.11
booted with lilo on only one of four
computers. Same problem with wary 5.5,
which cannot find its sfs file with lilo
or even when booting from live CD.
It finds the save file in the same directory.
My lilo is an old version from about 2000.
It works with puppy 4 and tinycore.
Any suggestions other than learning GRUB?

Also the lynx for wary (2.8.7) has
no shttp support so does not work
with duckduckgo or gigablast but
does work with google.

It would be nice if this version and it's devx was still downloadable.

If you are running Wary 5.1.1 and would like to upgrade Seamonkey to version 2.23, please see this thread:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=90882
Before you execute the Seamonkey .pet you should use PPM to install two packages: dbus and dbus-glib

Upgrading to SM 2.23 fixes the annoying, frequent Flash/sound crashes experienced using original SM 2.0.11.

It has been reported that USB keyboard and USB mouse are not detected when Wary 5.1.1 is full-installed. This issue is resolved by appending ADDLIST in /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG as in

Code: Select all

ADDLIST=' ehci_hcd uhci_hcd ohci_hcd usbhid '

to forcibly load missing drivers during boot.

Running Wary 5.1.2, I want to upgrade Xorg from Menu>Setup>Video Upgrade Wizard. When I call the Video Upgrade Wizard, I am presented with a button to install Xorg 7.5. When I click the button, an attempt is made to download Xorg 7.5 from ibiblio. This download fails, even though the file is reportedly there. I need an upgrade in order to change resolution on this computer. Why does this download fail? Is this download failure a fail-safe strategy to keep me from installing a bad driver? Can I download Xorg 7.5 from any source, or is this a Puppy-specific package?
