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.

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. |

cthisbear, Yeah, It does a lot different. Maybe we can learn some things to feed back into 5.2.8. The Broadcom driver is the one prepared by tempestuous. Maybe there is info that will help (the preference?). I thought the preference would go in /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG in the PREFLIST but I notice that it is not in there in the TESTING ISO. broadcom_sta-5.6.48.36-i486.pet from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=421596#421596 referenced from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=448464#448464 needs preference: "ssb:b43"
PenguinPupLin, I believe that F-Prot is a command line program, which doesn't have a menu entry. Last edited by playdayz on Sun 05 Feb 2012, 13:07; edited 1 time in total |

OK, get what you mean, for example, in ROXTerm, run "fpscan" with options; never expected this in PPM downloads. Thanks for pointing it out. |

Have a look through the two pages of the following thread on this topic. It's been a while, so I don't remember the details, but I had a similar problem and solved it. Repost your results here, and if it still doesn't work, I'll try to help you further. I'm running fprot on my 5.2.8 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=71679&start=15 _________________ otropogo@gmail.com facebook.com/otropogo |

Hi playdayz I tried the preference ssb:b43 but it didn't help my reboot wifi fail to connect problem. By trying various things I have found that if: 1. I use Dougal's Network Wizard to setup a profile for my wifi 2. I put dhcpcd into /etc/rc.d/rc.local and 3. after reboot I right click on the network tray icon, bring the network down, right click again and bring the network back up then I do get a working wifi wpa2 connection on eth1 (after a message from the Network Wizard and a little green box saying "borderless success") which seems to suggest that the new wl driver is working ok its just not playing correctly with any of the setup programs after a reboot. A possible clue is that Frisbee seems to be trying to use wlan0 after a reboot instead of eth1 which the wl driver creates. Cheers peebee

My Wi-Fi problems have returned also. Sometimes SNS works properly on bootup, no apparent reason why it will or won't. Sometimes SNS will successfully configure wlan1, 2, or 3 instead of wlan0 (there is only one wireless card). Dougal's wizard announces success but fails to provide a connection. I'm confused, any suggestions? This rt61pci card worked well under 528.004, and still does under Windows. Thanks! |

Main suggestion is to use 5.2.8.004. The Testing ISO has a lot of innovation so report what doesn't work, but if something doesn't work then don't feel that you have to fix it in order to have the latest Lucid--the Testing ISO is more like a parallel development for experiential purposes. At least that's the way I see it. If you would like some of the updated programs, then you can get the ones you want individually and install them in 5.2.8.004. Audacious 3.2 This is the latest Audacious audio player. The B2SB plugin is working, which is stereo to binaural conversion. http://diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/audacious-3.2-1.pet |

Any chance you could offer a programs instant update pet? It would contain all the updated programs. One pet for all. _________________ I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem. When I was a kid I wanted to be older....

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. Volhout |

Many thanks,otropogo, went to the link and installed the xfprot-2.4_fprot-6.0.3.pet,now running the virus scanner. Just wonder how effective it is - noticed quite a number of "[Not Scanning]<Maximum directory/link traversal depth reached>" files. Anyway, I'll continue testing and trying the various settings. Also I'm looking for other virus scanners to try both within Linux and Windows to check my Windows Vista disk. |

One pet to bind them, one pet to rule them all! Possible.
I am just curious PenguinPupLin. Does the non-X version of f-prot give the same errors if you run it on the same directories from the command line? |
