just read your post after posting mine. sorry to hear about your bosses, work, injury, family, that gets in the way of puppy. that was a joke.

family and health are priorities just not so sure about work...probable work as well is needed to provide for family and health. i spent my career as a private contractor so it was easy to walk away from one particular job.

take care take your rest and take care of business.

Thanks Peebee. I will update the broadcom wl module to the woof and I will upload it to the pet_packages-upup repo also.

I have started to create pet_packages-upup database file....

[pemasu]

About compiling latest evince...sure it is possible...I did test it and it compiled fine...but it needed a lot stuff...gtk-3 and framework for it and a lot other stuff. And the lookout of evince is ugly no working gtk outlook.

And when I installed all the needed stuff....I broke working puppy. The desktop drive icons dont work anymore...and what else is broken.

Mean while...I noticed that python2.6 is not in database anymore...there is python2.7 only now. So...I updated the distro pkgs specs accordingly.

Heh...not sure should I create new build with this wrecked Upup anymore...
I have updated the Precise Pangolin database files now....I suppose they should be updated again...because the packages seems to change still.....

Hi Pemasu,
Thanks,
for all Your work, you created very good distro, everything I need works. I hope You get well and after recovery will get back with distro You created, but same was with Barry Kauler, he created very popular Lucid puppy and somebody else took over and he starts to do some other interesting distros puppy derivatives. So don't worry, I am sure somebody will take over Your job and continue, all distros have theirs funs. You did a great job, I hope somebody will follow ubuntu and update Upup Precise. By the way I like Ubuntu 12.04 very much and on capable computer I will be using it. But Ubuntu has lots of developers and distro like Yours relay only on one person.
Thanks again for the job You done.

PS. This is my entry for the Grub 2 file, unfortunately with frugal instalation I have to add it every time Grub 2 gets updated


menuentry 'Upup Precise 5.3.3.2 frugal with Linux 3.3.2' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {

Sounds like a very busy summer!

For what it is worth. You might give a shot at dictation software to help with your writing and reports.

I am impressed with the commercial package. Here in the states you can pick up the small package for around $39.00. Not convinced you need the expensive fancy packages.

Or... I now have a smartphone, and it has quite accurate dictation as well.

Thanks for all your hard work. I know it will be hard to completely stay away from Puppy... addictive.

.

Have great summer, enjoy the graduation and do not work so hard it hurts! Get some vacation along the way. Life is to short. One or two or three bosses... well.... Still smell the roses. Been there, done that.... Family worth more!

[pemasu]

Thanks for heads up !

About dictation software and digital dictation machine. I have used dictation machines about 20 years. About first thing which I had to learn when I started clinic work. Lol. I use dictation machine all the time. But mostly I write my texts my self. I write every day tens of pages text. But when I do inspections to the companies...I have dictation machine with me...which I do listen and write to report.

I could also dictate at work...we have server which stores the dictatations and there are dedicated people in company....secretaries which type them...but....I am fast writer...havent used that service ever.

What I would like to have is...speech recognition and automatic typing software...but finnish language has proven to be hard for them and our specialized language with greek and latin words included makes it difficult for speech recognition software and hardware. I have followed the progress of them also...

About gsettings schemas problem....
When you install app from the precise repo, the launching might fail with error message:

Good luck, Pemasu!

Hi pemasu,

Sorry to hear about your work and health problems. Great news about your daughter’s graduation. We will greatly miss you and your super contributions for the next few months.

Get your rest and tend to your priorities. Hopefully, we will see you back well and rested this fall.

Thanks again for sharing the results of your hard work with us.

Cheers,
Jim

As I recall, there wasn't any solution to the GLX problem, so Upup Precise isn't going to be usable for me. Hate to say it because it had potential, but guess i'll delete it off the hard drive and focus on Racy. Unless Lupu in some form can run on this machine and access the sound chips. 528 v5 can't so far.

Of all Puppies in the last 6 years, only Racy now works with functioning sound, wireless and graphics on this new, inexpensive, relatively unremarkable (and fairly typical) low cost Acer/Intel laptop. Seems unfortunate for Puppy.

[pemasu]

I do have acer/intel laptop also and intel driver works for me...gxlgears rolls..

You could check the /var/log/Xorg.0.log if there is anything spesific of your glx loading.

One possible solution might come from recognition or failure of it and automatically created xorg.conf could be crippled. But you got some response. So probably glx is enabled in your xorg.conf.

[vtpup]

Hey, you're not supposed to be doing this!

(yes it is enabled in xorg.conf, and no obvious errors in the var log. But it's okay, Time to take it easy.)

Don't stuff it up old friend.

All depends on the individual.
I use to love Orthopaedics.

Also some people use a hyperbaric chamber to speed up the healing.

Hi, pemasu,

I'm sorry to hear of this sudden, and mostly bad, news.

Your need for a puppy break makes perfect sense. I hope the surgery goes well, that your various bosses become more understanding, and that the community sees you back here when the smoke clears and life simplifies.

All best,
Jake

[pemasu]

jakfish. About what build runs coolest. I really dont know. I havent measured it...or compared...and I havent got much feedback also.
I think that only testing will reveal. Sorry.

I suppose that lack of feedback is good sign. When Snow Puppy or Ice Puppy with some kernel seemed to rise too much cpu temp...I got a lot feedback. I think it was partly the kernel version number spesific and only slightly how I had configured the kernel.

I also think that those bugs have been fixed in all 3.X kernels.
