Hi All
@Lobster

Is it the old permissions problem identified by Shinobar well over a year ago?
Have you tried to run bootflash from the console?
If it fails to run do as Shinobar says, change the permissions of /tmp by typing in the console:
chmod -R 1777 /tmp
and then try again with bootcamp.
Cheers

I like 013 very much
only hope that i will be able to use save file with newer versions:)
Zuki blues works, only workplaces panel applet is red as in other themes

I noticed some icons in right click menu are bigger than others( Geany, gnumeric and gparted)

New pets:
lincity-ng - game
p7zip - for opening 7z files
ettercap - network security
kismet - network security

I've also uploaded repackaged version of billtoo's vlc in case that works better for anyone.

I've successfully upgraded to 013 (frugal install) and decided to test out the Saluki Custom Puplet Builder with 013. I removed a few things and added a few things. I used my own 012 save file (not with adrive, just as a savefile) because I really liked the setup I have (transparent panel bar, custom clock font colors, custom wallpaper, links, etc). Anyways, it was easily and automatically upgraded to 013. Everything went swimmingly until I rebooted; the xfce window manager loaded (desktop and wallpaper), but while Frisbee was doing it's thing (popup notifications), I got kicked out to the terminal with the prompt "puppy1365 login as root". I tried again without a save file but had the same result (I did not have this problem with the included adrive file for 013, only with my custom adrive). So I removed a package that I had installed with my custom adrive that I suspected may be the culprit, remade the custom adrive - and sure enough, it was Compiz-0.8.4-test.pet. I removed it, re-created my custom adrive without it, and everything worked fine after that. So, that's my Compiz-0.8.4-test.pet story, and I'm sticking to it...granted it does have "test" in its' name, so therefore I cannot be too heartbroken because of it. Either way, I thought it might be valuable to pass this along...

Take heart, pemasu, you'll get it sorted out. Nothing good comes easy...

[edit]Checked - works OK in luki 014 [/edit]

Here is the up-to-date Broadcom-STA driver compiled for Saluki 014 K3.2.8-ski if anybody is interested to try it:

http://ubuntuone.com/0A0Z944UvjjkV1HpSBi1sF

Includes the patch applied to the Broadcom source for k3.2

Needs b43 blacklisting and reboot.

The background is described:

(p.s. found the problem with the kernel sources while trying to compile - can throw away the screenies now)

013 no problems, still testing.

[pemasu]

Peebee's driver pet provides wl kernel driver module for those broadcom wireless chips which does not work with b43.ko, brcmsmac.ko or brcmfmac.ko driver.

The list of the chip id`s can be found from this link:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Supported_devices

The chip id can be found with this command in console: "lspci -nn"

I found the reason of double folder`s. I had previous same named kernel source sfs in the folder and when I created it again...it doubled the folder`s. So...never recreate the sfs into the same folder...always remove the previous sfs or recreate it to the other location. Lesson learned and will be remembered.
