Fatdog64-521 (October 12, 2011)
I have uploaded lxpanel-0.5.8 for Fatdog64-521 in the Additional Software (Pets and Stuff) section of the forum, under Desktop.

I have tried audio-all-in-one-amd64-10.sfs in Fatdog64-521 and I can't seem to get qtrctrl to work with audacious.
I'm trying to use an application to change latency settings and qtrctrl allows you to do that but I can't get it to connect to audacious so I can play music using qtrctrl's lower latency settings.
Qtrctrl doesn't show audacious as an application I can connect to and audacious's plugin settings doesn't show jack as an output plugin so can someone PM me on how to get qtrctrl or jack and audacious to work?

Hey Kirk & Jamesbond,
I've been using Fatdog64 520 and loving it. I tried 521 to see if there were any differences.
My touchpad (tap to select) is not working, although I am able to use the touchpad to move the arrow. I've gone into 'Setup...Adjust Touch Pad' (flSynclient) and have confirmed that TouchPad Mod is 'On'. ANy ideas?
Am I missing anything significant by staying with 520? Thanks!

joe0855,
The 521 change log is here :
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... atest.html
There's a link on the home page.
In 520 I forgot to disable tap-to-click, I fixed that in 521. If you want to enable tap-to-click, change MaxTapTime from 0 to 125 to start with, and adjust as needed from there. You can do that with Adjust Touch Pad, found under setup or can edit /usr/X11R7/lib64/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf.

Hi Kirk and James Bond. Just a quick thank you! for this great release.
I just installed it, and planning to use it as main OS. I am glad that i'm back on puppy linux.
btw, can i use the pet packaging intro guide to compile own packages, as documented here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=35507 Or are there different ways on 64bit?
because i have probs with the compiled Midnight commander, and i would like to compile sylpheed.

I'm wanting to add a proxy as the default in Firefox and I've actually done it but my method isn't quite "professional grade" so I'm hoping for some help.
My method was to do a "Remaster" with a custom prefs.js file including the proxy. This works but the resulting SFS is something like 30MB bigger than the original file, because of a one line addition??
I've found and SFS editor for 32 bit puppy, is there one that works for FatDog-64 (32-bit puppys do not seem to want to open the FD-64 SFS file)?
Other suggestions?
Great job on FatDog BTW! I run FD-64 24/7 on 3 different crunching computers and also use a FD-64 DVD all the time. LOVE it! Keep up the great work!

lakedude,
When you run mksquashfs are you specifying -comp xz? Like this:
Also, are you modifying the prefs.js at /usr/lib64/firefox-7.0.1/defaults/profile/prefs.js? That's usually the one you'd want to change in a remaster.
deniros,
Not a problem at all.

Code: Select all
# mksquashfs My-SFS fd64-521.sfs -comp xz

Ok reading this now:
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/remastering
I should be able to figure it out from here.

The remaster GUI will run mksquashfs without the -comp xz, so that is the problem. Guess that's something for the to do list. You could just boot with your big remastered sfs and then do this:
Code: Select all
# mksquashfs /initrd/pup_ro2 fd64-521.sfs -comp xz
So I think this is the line in the script at /usr/sbin/remasterpup2 that is making the sfs file?
"mksquashfs /tmp/root $WKGMNTPT/puppylivecdbuild/$SFSBASE.sfs -keep-as-directory"
mksquashfs happens several times and none of them seem to show the -comp xz option. The plan is to modify the script, I wonder if every instance of "mksquashfs" needs to be modified or only the last instance?
Reading about syntax here:
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Squashfs
Sorry for all the posts, I'm in a little over my head.

It lives! Thanks for the help!
Changed prefs.js at /usr/lib64/firefox-7.0.1/defaults/profile/prefs.js
Remastered large CD and booted from the new CD.
Used mksquashfs My-SFS fd64-521.sfs -comp xz to make a new SFS file and saved.
Booted Puppy 4.3.1 from CD and used the iso editor to plunk the new smaller SFS into the ISO and saved.
Burned and booted, WORKS at 195 MB! Thanks!

Thanks so much kirk, I have a question, how I can build a 32 bit library in 64 bit like 'fd64-32bit-libs-6.sfs'? Need need some QT library in 32 bits and I don't know how to make it.

I made a pet of goggles music manager for fatdog 64.
It contains all the dependencies needed by goggles.

bug alsa?
lxpanel crashes
Same problem with fbpanel, see post from bigpup about retrovol:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... ba2a6337d9
I get practically the same hcontrol.c error on lxpanel:
hcontrol.c:764: snd_hctl_handle_event: Assertion `elem' failed."
When I remove volume control from tray no crashes from lxpanel occur, so that points the finger at alsa for now.
Strange thing, this suddenly appeared, I worked with this fd64-RC release for months 24/7 so to speak and no problems with volume control.
Some more hits but no solution:
http://mailman.alsa-project.org/piperma ... 35265.html
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/715544
Any one else with these experiences?
Keep in mind, this happened on fd64-RC, not fd64-521 to my knowledge
I plan to migrate to 521, if it happens again I will report back.
Hold your horses, I just now saw post http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 77&t=73136
I will try this one of course
