go to the internet connection wizard and choose the tool you connect with (for example I use GPRS Connect) as the one that launches when you click the desktop connect icon, then you will be able to disconnect by right-clicking the taskbar network icon and selecting 'disconnect from network'

I saw the 5491 link so I downloaded the iso and did a manual frugal

The EeePC 701 is connected to a 19" lcd monitor.

I tested partview and pmount with a udf dvd, they both work correctly.
If 'probepart' returns correct "udf" f.s. for the optical disc, then partview and pmount will also work correctly.

That had me puzzled for a moment, then I realised that Precise had been built with the wrong xchat PET.
The latest one I created is in the 'common' repo, and has a 'pinstall.sh' (post-install) script that fixes /usr/local/bin/defaultchat to run chat.
I have modified the package-list for precise in Woof:
Code: | yes|xchat||exe,dev,doc,nls|pet:common #using this instead of ayttm. |
...it was grabbing xchat PET out of the 'wary5' repo, this tells it to use the PET in the 'common' repo.
I know there is also Chatzilla, but I was thinking at the time, might want to do a build without SM, or a cutdown SM that doesn't have Chatzilla.

I don't yet know whether to include Frisbee in 5.5beta (the next build).
I will rely on feedback, how well it works in 5.5alpha1, and whether it stomps on the toes of the other connection systems or not.

I restart X and keep doing things as usual, then after many times copying files from ROX right-click menu I get the black screen again. |
vicmz,
With ROX, I just drag a file, then when I release the left-button a menu pops up asking whether want to copy, move or link.
Does this way work OK for you?

Manual frugal install of 5.5alpha1(5.4.90) with k3.2.29 to an ntfs partition and booting via grub4dos from an SDcard. Emachines 732 laptop.
So far all seems good to this average user - everything seems to work as expected.
Very low on resource usage and temperature. Nice.
Report for your info.

Installed the non PAE build and everything seems fine. In fact more than fine. There's a phenomenal improvement in Flash Video that I can't explain.
I am using Seamonkey 2.15.2 and Flash 11.2.202.262 in both RetroPrecise 5.4.3 and 5.4.91 Alpha builds. glxgears reports 60 fps in both builds.
Decent resolution BBC iplayer Flash videos normally play ok for me in all versions of Puppy at their standard resolution window but normally are very jumpy or totally unwatchable in full screen mode (on this old laptop that is). However in the 5.4.91 alpha build the videos play fine in full screen mode. Flash hardware acceleration is enabled in both but Flash reports it is using software decoding and rendering in both cases.
I can also play higher resolution Youtube videos in full screen which I couldn't play before. The difference is like night and day.
I have never seen Flash perform as well in any previous build of Puppy Linux I've tried. Yes they all have used the Intel graphics driver. Anyone any ideas why the massive performance jump?

In testing the frisbee-1.0-20120209 package on my wifi-less PC, I am seeing problems. It aborts silently (actually hangs) when it accesses an invalid interface, "none". I am digging into it. Please consider this when deciding whether to include it. Maybe with a warning to not try it if no wifi hardware is installed. Or let users get the latest from the "frisbee beta" thread, where I work with others to perfect it.
BTW, I have already upgraded network_tray-2.6 to correct and improve handling of dialup connections. I will post it in the frisbee-beta thread.
Richard
UPDATE: I have fixed the above problem and uploaded newer versions of frisbee and the network_tray in the Frisbee beta thread:
frisbee: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=684092#684092
network_tray: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=684694#684694
Barring any surprises, they should be ready for the 5.5 beta.
Richard

mount.cifs broken Subject description: Pnethood and YASSM not working |
|
Hi Barry,
Thanks for another great puppy.
Prescise 5491
I couldn't get Pnethood or YASSM to connect to my Samba shares. I tried connecting on command line using the command I normally use in other Puppies: Code: | # mount.cifs //192.168.1.120/usr=root_passwd=woofwoof /root/YASSM/usr=root_passwd=woofwoof@LENOVO-120 -o username=root,password=woofwoof
mount error 22 = Invalid argument
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) |
Further investigation reveals there are two different mount.cifs, /sbin/mount.cifs (18k, 11feb13) and /usr/sbin/mount.cifs (23k, 7jul2010). Deleting either one doesn't seem to help.
