google chrome 18 is good. just remember to empty (delete the contents of) downloads in root before your last pup save file on exit. should this preference be moved to tmp by default chrome install?

I'm sorry but I can't let you get away with a quiet 100 pages/1500 posts without at least a congrats, and well done!

So congrats and well done!

Keep up the good work

Playdayz,

Bug installing Audacity from Package Manager (puppy5.25).
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=77384

I have the same problem in Lucid 528-005.

[Volhout]

Installed LupuLibre 528.005 full install in virgin system. Opera browser 11.62, and Flash player from Lucid repository.

Installed Stellarium (fun) 1.10.4 lucid from repository
At startup got message "not OpenGL" system
tried Stellarium 1.10.6 : same message.

This is a P4 system with a 82845G (Brookdale) graphics chip.

Thought it must be driver related (Intel Graphics)
Tried Xorg-high from lucid repository.
HW info says it has OpenGL now (Tungsten Graphics)

Started Stellarium 1.10.6, and X crashes.
Removed 1.10.6, removed also 1.10.4 (just to be sure), and re-installed 1.10.4 -> 1.10.4 also crashes X.

Any idea what I should do to fix ?

Playdayz, bigpup,
I have added several fixes for annoying issues to the "arch_update" package, as arch_update-3. Besides the "-2" fix for Broadcom 43xx wifi drivers, the attached new package also contains the following:

- Correction of the loss of the "numlock" setting during creation of a new pupsave file.
- Correction of the loss of file deletions during creation of a new pupsave file.
- Removal of package artifacts during remastering, during which installed packages are integrated into the main SFS file, specifically /var/log/package-, /root/.package/*.files- and /root/.package/*.remove files.

The first two result from bigpup's report of the numlock issue. While analyzing the related shutdown logic, I found that when a pupsave file is created, hidden (.xxx...) files are saved only for the /root directory. Since whiteout files (indicators of deletions) are hidden, they, too, are not preserved in the other directories. The fix preserves all of the whiteout files (except in the "/" directory), thus retaining all deletions during creation of pupsave files. Assuming Barry had a reason for the hidden-file exclusion, I leave it to him to determine whether the exclusion is actually necessary. Note, however, that no hidden files are preserved when a pupsave partition is populated, which I presume was an oversight; the fix would apply there, too, but was not implemented in this package.

Remember, to test the Broadcom wifi fix, you also need to install (if you have not already done so for "-2") the driver package in the message for "arch_update-2" (on page 100). Although cowboy has confirmed the that logic to switch to the older proprietary driver works with the "eth1" device name, I am still hoping for a further confirmation that the logic still works with the name change to wlan0. ( I would be"surprised" if it did not work.)

Note to those who use remastering to create a "boot disk":
The package-cleanup improvements do not apply to that case, because retaining the entire /root directory negates/overrides the integration of installed packages.

I have once again fixed all issues that I know of pertaining to puppy infrastructure annoyances that could be fixed easily; Please remind me of any that I have missed. TIA

UPDATE 4/11/2012: I re-uploaded the package after download number 9 to remove directory /usr/root/Startup, which does not belong. There is no functional change and no need to replace it for testing.

Is there a reason why the build in Midori don't appears in the menu? this is bad as the new puppys overwrite each new start the /root/.jwmrc ! people not experimented to handle this new and very disturbing kind of progress ( ) are really sad to start with an not complete menu!

the comments in the built in .jwmrc are the old comments so you have to pull diep into the Puppy forum to find the way to change it. it is nonsens...
