I have a brand-new full install of TESTING01a on a new MSI V-class P4 board. I am also having problems with Wi-Fi not surviving reboot, and here's a really weird one: on shutdown, the ps/2 optical mouse stays lit! Wi-Fi is rt61.
Edit: After playing with it for awhile, the Wi-Fi problem seems to have corrected itself. The mouse also stays lit when Windows XP shuts the computer down, so I have to believe I have a faulty board--it is a "refurbished" one.

All else seems good, basic stuff like sound (Realtek) and video, input-output all work, Google Earth runs on a 64 MB nVidea card, we all seem happy.

In case everybody else forgets: Thanks to all the devs, Playdayz and the whole crew, and as always to Barry.

"The Testing ISO is experimental

Understood.
When I first used lucid and Slacko...I was underwhelmed.
This sounds like a smart arse reaction....but it is not.

But 528 is a splendid release.

Creativity and fortitude, smart people, long term testing,
and sometimes hot responses from people like moi, have spurred
the creation of the best Puppy ever.

Forget the Ubuntu parts...and the whinges.
The best Puppy ever....new users....many old users.

Mind you I still use Puppy 4.3.1 for data recovery >> bad drives.

It ain't easy out there mate...and you have excelled.
Take your time....but this was a strange one.

When Personalize Settings script/screen starts to run
the mouse dies.

Done that. Booted on different usb port. >> same result.

Replugged....different mouse....

used >> cntrl alt backspace to restart...still no result
and no power lights in the mouse....

seems as if usbs are cut off...switched off etc...Weird.

From PPM in my Lucid Pup 528, I downloaded the FProt-6-Lucid antivirus package but it failed to install , no menu icon though the folder and files were created.

The readme file in /opt/f-prot says : To install, copy this folder to where you wish the install to be located
(for example /opt/f-prot) and run the 'install-f-prot.pl'.

Thought it would install automatically after download. What should I do now?

Any help appreciated.

PlayDayz,

Tested the test iso on my home machine (this machine works well with 528-528.004) and can't get it to detect my printer in CUPS. It is a USB multifunction (printer/scanner/card reader) device EPSON RX425.
When starting CUPS in 528 - 528.004 the printer shows as a selectable item in the list when "add printer". Not in this test iso. It only shows PDF printer and LPT / serial as options.

It is (AFAIK) not a CUPS issue, since 528 uses the same CUPS version as this test iso (version 1.4.3). Maybe changes in the USB drivers have caused it (USB modeswitch ?).

I hope you have an idea how I can help you to find the cause. Tried several things like hotplug, but no cure. Also the scanner does not detect. It must be somewhere low level (at USB level) I guess..

Tell me what I can do to help or diagnose.
