I continued to work on Extract-pet over the weekend.
It's localised and finished now Laughing

You should switch to using pupmd5sum by 01micko. I've improved
it to version 0.8 (bottom of page)

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=78276

I'll look into saving the md5sum to a file. Doesn't the file need
a special format???
Such as the name of file and md5sum all on one line.

I noticed the following in your md5sum file for
devx_precise_5.4.X.5.sfs.md5.txt at ol smokey site.

Is that a standard file??

That has been created by gtkhash. It not the usual 3builddistro product. I had to manually fix devx sfs because valide pet pinstall.sh broke the building. It is fixed now in woof. So I had to manually create md5sum and I used gtkhash. That is when I noticed I lacked md5sum right click.

I have 0.8 version of md5sum already waiting in my next woof.
The name syntax would be the filename.md5.txt or filename.md5sum.txt
like: precise-5.4.X.5-SCSI.iso.md5.txt or precise-5.4.X.5-SCSI.iso.md5sum.txt

Woof 3builddistro uses filename.md5.txt so it might be familiar

The content can be as example just: 07a9d9fcdb39272fc13247dc7be4eaa1 precise-5.4.X.5-SCSI.iso

In my latest bash manual pet I put list of gtk icons.
It might be of interest to you since it's a simple script to add.

If I`m not mistaken, and pemasu correct me if I`m wrong...

Any Ubuntu based distro. should be able to use apps. from close releases.
And I think Ubuntu Multiverse and Universe packages should always work.

The package type shouldn`t matter at all ( .pet, .deb, .sfs, etc. ).

Why this enormous font?

Answering to above posts. I do not have much experience. Many Lucid Puppy etc users are more experienced than me. Since I like compiling my own stuff, I havent tested even one Lucid Puppy based pet...or deb from previous Ubuntu versions.

But there is compatibility sure. I think it is library version upgrades/downgrades which might cause the problem.
That is another reason, why I dont include applications or libs to the base distro from previous Ubuntu versions. So that the base will be pure.

The users can test as much they want. I am sure many even want to test the build how they can brake it...what I have read from the feedback reports. Many posts has stated that they havent managed to brake the puplet yet....

When you do the tests in frugal installation, you just might destroy your savefile, nothing else... and you can post your succesful experiences in the thread if you want.
I wont though include apps or libs from previous Lucid Puppy or Ubuntu version....for example to my repo or to the base build.

Running Bootable USB

Sysinfo shows
-Multimedia- Audio Adapter : HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH

Speaker icon in taskbar has X says speaker muted

Adjusting slider controls in Retrovol I get sound, but the volume control in the task bar does not control sound and shows speaker as muted.

Attempting to run alsamixer from prompt system reports:

cannot load mixer control: invalid argument

Any help appreciated

pemasu; Lucid is a few Ubu. versions back from Precise, so compatability...

Keeping distro. builds "clean and pure" is the only rational thing to do.

Like most software, new libs. seem to support older versions to a limit.
But older libraries will almost never work in place of the newer ones.
So old apps. can work in newer builds, but not vice-versa ( libs.).

Upup Precise 5.4.X.6 has been uploaded. I have used latest woof which Barry Kauler used for Precise 5.4.3.

Mainly this is bug fix release like Precise 5.4.3.
Wcpufreq has been updated. Nouveau kernel module is not blacklisted (woof bug, fixed now), Ubuntu databases updated, wallpaper by futwerk now the default one, pmusic tray plugin added, network_tray used by sns has been updated (shows external ip address with mouse tool tip and you can change tray icons for network with right click), some other small bug fixes which people posted to me through forum or by pm.

I tested with new jwm 588 and 589 versions. I got several times X crash and in kernel messages I noticed jwm seqfault message. So...I didnt upgrade jwm. I will see how jwm matures, but nice to see that Joe Wing is again in Christmas time working with jwm.

I was meant to include rerwin`s updated network diagnostic tool, pdiag, but now I noticed that I forgot to add it to the DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-ubuntu-precise file, now added, will be in next release.

Smplayer-0.8.3 and Smtube-1.5 is now in pet_packages-upup repo. Use Lazy Fred ie Precise repository downloader app to access my repo.
Tradietrakka Business Management application is now also in repo. Thanks scsijon for the tip:

Jim...invoice manager has been in repo before.
All these are qt4 apps.
