Hi Pemasu,
thanks again for this uPup-Precise !
this Xorg 1.11.3 + intel 2.17.0 combination seems not bringing the X black screen :D

IMHO i prefer the Exprimo applications set (no Abi nor gNumeric; + firefox; as also the general rox + menus font look ... but that's subjective matter).

attachment; .doc document abiword rendering after having used the right hand scroll cursor ... :roll:

Cheers, Charlie

Upup Precise 54X3 has been uploaded. I used fresh woof from today.

The Menu DOTdesktop updating should be fixed. Some Rox right click cleaning and also I added more rox right click stuff, like updated unrar, set as wallpaper, undeb all debs in folder, deb2tgz, aaphoto image resize and auto-optimize right clicks, etc....

I have fixed missing icons when I have found them.

Compiling in Upup really behaves so far. Of course there are quirks as always but from the early days things has improved greatly. Devx sfs is in good shape.

Uget has now aria2 plugin enabled at launching as default so happy torrent downloading with Uget.

Sys-info updated so video reports might be even trusted.

Some small fixes which does not show for end users.

Running the latest download and running a manual frugal install.

Mplayer does not play any of my videos that I've tried. Both flv and mp4 won't play. The player pops up but then nothing.

If you need any of my specs., Let me know.

I did install nvidia 96.43.23 driver for my gforce 4 mx 440.

I tried using x11 and xv in the player preferences and still no luck.

Mplayer in Precise Pangolin should have vdpau support. Try to change video output to the vdpau in the gnome-mplayer preferences.

yes|libvdpau|libvdpau1,libvdpau-dev|exe,dev,doc,nls| #needed by mplayer.

Your nvidia driver package should provide rest for the vdpau support...or then not. I suppose the needed lib is libvdpau_nvidia.so.

Anyway....it is question of your nvidia graphics and the nvidia driver. I do have fine video output with radeon driver and Ati HD5650 graphics. I went through my test videos and those which should play....played.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried vdpau and still a no go. So I tried every one of the output options just for the heck of it and none will play.

Is there anything else I can try?

Download vlc media player sfs, qt libs sfs from my repo and test vlc. It might work better. If not...I dont have much more options to offer.
If I get reports that other people have problems I start to hunt some broken package.

I havent changed any of the default Barry Kauler specs in this build regarding to the multimedia backends, libs or dependencies.

So....I wait for other reports next.

Greetings pemasu,

It appears that installing the nvidia driver breaks mplayer. I confirmed this by starting over with a fresh frugal install and mplayer works fine using the nouveau driver.

I'll search the web and see if there's a solution to this nvidia issue.

Thanks for you help.

I compiled a special version of mhwaveedit in precise
that will accept plugins. It also will open retrovol even if there
is no config file.

Does spotify works best on Dpup Exprimo or Upup Precise?
I refer to these files

qt-4.8.0-phonon-gstreamer-qtwebkit-dpup.pet
gstreamer-plugins-deps-0.0.1.pet
spotify-0.8.4.103.pet

I guess this part says they are for Dpup?

dpup.pet

I tested on Lupu 528-005 but failed so maybe did something wrong.
I will test later again today or tomorrow.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Nooby. There were enough references to what distro those pets were meant to.
You can experiment with pets and sfs meant to squeeze dpup, but it is up to you how they work or does not work in Upup Precise or other distro outside Dpup Exprimo.
I wont test them for users in Upup Precise. Use and test them at your own risk.

Upup Precise 5.4.X.4 has been uploaded. I used latest woof with all fixes through it.

PPM package manager should check if dependencies are up to date, if not...it asks to update ubuntu databases.Which updates now really fast.
http://bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00038
Above is needed because precise update repos are available and the packages are updated there frequently. So you also get some updated core - system files from this build.

For example usable Firefox-17.0 was there, tested it and worked fine.

The repos have been configured to use fastest one first, at least for me. I got firefox-17 in about 10 seconds from PPM.

Pburn and Pmusic updated, Mhwaveedit updated, supports ladspa plugins now. Type ladspa in PPM and you get multiple plugin choices to choose. Don570 has also created a pet from one large plugin set.

Xchat has now unigue default name string so that puppylinux users are not confused from changing username.

This build is still quite near of the official Precise Puppy. I would call it PuP build: Pemasubly unofficial Puppy.....lol

Hi Pemasu,
on Precise 5.4.X.4 installed on Dell620 laptop:
something strange i cannot reproduce ...
while working with gnumeric on a file stored on a USB memory stick (stick i'm using since ca. 4 years), the stick suddenly has been seen as "read only" with an "input/output error" message when saving to / or deleting a file.
The files name had no accent nor «exotic» character in it ...?? :shock:

I have also to report that just before I accidentaly closed the lid of the laptop getting it to «sleep mode»; opening the lid resumed to previous mode, with gnumeric running again on the currently opened file.

Restarting X fixed it; but opening the usb stick with rox file manager showed filenames coloured in red with exclamation mark mini-icons.

Have then unmounted the usb stick and opened it on another PC (running Exprimo 3.6.2), and there all OK.

No further result to report as I am now at job ... other priorities to deal with ... :)

Cheers, Charlie

..input/output error on USB memory stick (solved)

Hi,
charlie6 wrote:...the stick suddenly has been seen as "read only" with an "input/output error" message ... but opening the usb stick with rox file manager showed filenames coloured in red with exclamation mark mini-icons.
Conclusions:
1. filesystem well corrupted :?
2. at first, didn't know what happened; afterwards might be not enough memory space left although Partview reported then about 20Mo free ... :x
3. cause is external to Precise (see 2. above)

:idea: Solution: succeeded in recovery of ca. 3,5 GB files (except images) using TestDisk :P

images recovered using PhotoRec ... :D
cheers, charlie

bug in categories

#58 Post by don570 »

There's a strange bug in the categories of the start menu

While making the Imagination 3.0 pet package I found that I couldn't
make the name show on the start menu.

I tried several multimedia categories but it was hopeless to
get Imagination to show. Slacko and Barry Kauler's Precise doesn't
have this problem.


The good news is that Imagination 3.0 does run nicely if you launch it
from the terminal.

Menu Categories has gone big upgrades with latest woof commits. They might affect. Audiovideo category should always work.
