Hah. I removed fbdev_drv.so. It is possibly needed for Nvidia compiling. It interferes Nvidia kernel module loading but it is possibly needed for compiling. I dont know.
Jim1911. Could you install this pet and try the compiling again. The pet has that fbdev_drv.so back.

I just booted Iguleders squeeze dpup. Uget is stalled in it also. So the Uget compile has not been succesful or there is some unmet dependency which ldd does not show. Need to dig deeper.

Installed your fbdev_drv.so pet. Still get ERROR: Unable to find the system utility 'ldconfig'; please make sure that you have 'glibc' installed. If you do have glibc install then please check that you do have ldconfig in your path.

Ldconfig is a dir that only contains an aux-catche file, so that may be the problem. See image.

No reason to chase the error more. I will make new build tomorrow. It will have z...sfs moved to the main sfs.
I believe that quick update with edit sfs was reason to your compile failure.
I havent removed anything else than fbdev and nouveau kernel module since I believed that they just disturb nvidia loading.
About that fbdev I am not so sure anymore.

I ran into a more serious problem. I installed a glibc pet that I have, reran sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-280.13.run which still failed. Then I went to ppm to remove the glibc pet that I'd installed. PPM corrupted my save file and froze the system, only out was to shut down power.

Thanks for getting rid of nouveau, it's been a continuing headache with my hardware.

I"ll wait for your next build. Isn't bug squashing fun!

Cheers,
Jim

Attempted Squeeze 500 in this old dual-core however X would not start. Reverted back to iguleder's 4.99.1 Enlightenment build (2.6.39.3) and posting from it now.

Thanks Jim1911 of being patient with my experiments.
Anyway, quite a many bugs have been found and many of them has been fixed. I have now almost done the e17 pet which has those modified scripts included.

I just would need nice wm switcher gui.

If I promise to include all PupApps to the dpup, maybe radky could include e17 to the wm switcher or is it there already ?

I installed the 500.2 FRUGAL Lin'N'Win
It eats 7MB more from the save file compared to 500.
Didn't succeed in knowing where and why.
The application environment is activated and working.

Thanks Dave S. I will give it a shot. It sure looks good candidate.

Probably launching e17 from jwm works with small adaptation quite easily. To get back from e17 to jwm is another story. I have used so far e17 next to not at all.

Mostly I would like to know if PUI recognizes different partitions ok. And can you make puppy installation with it now. Does the mounted drive pngoverlay works straight. There are bugs in 500.2 so that version will be very temporary. I have already found that my pet for notecase missed some libs. I will add them to next build tomorrow.

Uget is still unresolved. I havent get good grip to any errors which would show me the way.

Fine idea, I installed all of Radky's little applications including PupApps to Iguleders E17 squeeze dpup and they worked great, even included PupApps as an application executed from the E17 bar. I also installed all of radky's little apps to your experimental version. Looking forward to your E17 implementation. I thought that I would be switching back to JWM, however , Iguleders E17 is superlative and I elected to stay with it although he did share the necessary code to switch back and forth between E17 and JWM.

Haven't tried the installer, however, all my partitions including ntfs, ext3, ext4, and swap were recognized properly.

Cheers,
Jim

It seems to me that going back to JWM is typing in the X prompt xwin JWM.

According to Iguleder's response to my question about switching, it's a little more involved
Iguleder wrote:In order to set JWM as the default desktop, exit X (Enlightenment->Exit or JWM's "Exit X Server" or whatever it was), then do this:

Code: Select all

echo jwm > /etc/windowmanager
or that to switch to E17:

Code: Select all

echo enlightenment_start > /etc/windowmanager
Then, start X again:
Code:
startx


That's all, the change is persistent.
However, I liked E17 and never switched to JWM.

Since I didn't have much luck on the old dual-core I grabbed an older box off the shelf.Squeeze 500 live pfix=ram. Everything good on initial boot.

Radky sent me wm switcher which worked nicely between jwm and e17. I will include this one to the next version along with e17.
There are some other minor changes I have to think about also.
I will now also test all Radkys applications also. And check the recent version status.
I am not sure if I can do all this today.

An other thing to consider. There isnt any udev package installed from squeeze.I dont know how this affect to for example usb 3g modem recogntion and usb modeswich function.

I tested squeeze package udev 167p and...it is much different than lucid udev 151-12. So much that it broke dpup.

Well....I hacked together udev package from Barrys udev 167p and from squeeze udev 167p....but I really dont have knowledge how to test the result. At least my laptop didnt suffer from my result. It would need devices which needs certain udev rules to function before I would know if rules are used.

Unfortunately it would need some guru like rerwin to inspect the result.
I wont include my hacked result to next version, I just reminded of the lack of it.

I gave 5002 a quick run live pfix=ram run on the Athlon XP box and did a full install in Vbox on another machine. Looked pretty good ,will test more later.

5.0.0.3 version is now processing. I made already build and tested it, but I had forgetten one icon and also my safety hack for muted sound at bootup. I added them to the build.
Next version has jwm, e17 and wmswitcher in the menu.
Thank you Radky.
Menu > Help opens Smokey01`s Phelp 101 version.
Radky`s all PupApplications are included. Thank you of your great apps, Radky.
Lxappearance is changed back to dpup gtk-chtheme. There is reasons.
Freememapplet_tray has right click to open Lxtask.
So far found bugs are hopefully fixed.
I compiled little older Uget version and it hopefully works now. I had that version from 3/2011 and so it fairly recent. Didnt bother to download atm newer version.
Menu`s submenu content has been arranged little better now.

Iso size now 127 Mb. I am reluctant to make this base version any larger.
One main sfs. No separate z...sfs. It hopefully helps Dave S.

I will probably upload it tonight.
