Thanks rerwin,

Puppy *can* fully change between my 2 network IFs.

I've replied on the Frisbee thread http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64472&start=180

Thanks gcmartin,

I have a tower PC but prefer "pay as you go" ISPs. Mr reply on the Frisbee thread should answer your questions.

I have noticed that the /tmp/wpa_supplicant.log file gets updated with many lines every time the networks are scanned, every 30 seconds or maybe more frequently. This is unacceptable for normal operation for long periods.

To correct this excessive logging, I added a control checkbox for when debug-level logging is needed, but otherwise to be left unchecked (disabled). The updated frisbee-1.0 package, 20130228 (was 20130227), is at the usual place:

Please test this version soon, so it can be considered for inclusion in the release version of precise 5.5. Thanks.

Starting to get a little confusing as to where to post results for Precise with all the various threads, and new versions some things starting in the middle of old threads, hope this gets to the eyes and ears of BK

Precise-5-4-93

Did an 'upgrade' to Precise-5.4.91 (was going to upgrade to 5.4.92 but BK beat me to the draw with 5.4.93 just after downloading 5.4.92... boy, when he's on a roll

Anyway, upgrade went fine, usual loss of personal apps & icons, no big deal.

All programs appear to be working as before with one little 'quirk' as in previous versions... analog clock disappears from pwidgets ( 2.4.0 & 2.4.1) on desktop every now and then? Appears to me it isn't a pwidgets fault as this also happens in Dpup-Precise, Dpup-Wheezy and Slacko... Hmmm... maybe a big bad wolf thingy? Just guesing of course?

Previous version of 5.4.91 was 'dropping WiFi' a few times per day, only re-coop was a cold hard button shutdown... have to see what happens for a few days with 5.4.93? (Using: Linksys AE1000 usb plugin... Verizon Router - built into DSL modem- and rt2800usb setup - which was automatic.) Hope it's now fixed! There are some other distro's that have an auto re-connect after a drop, that would be a nice feature to consider for somewhere down the road?

OK... 2-hrs after writing the above on the WiFi thing... WiFi DROPPED, again a cold shutdown. The WiFi hung while my wife was posting a message in Facebook. After thinking on this, I decided to try to remove Pwidgets as I have a Weather module installed that keeps reaching out for updates, I thought this may be the problem with the drops. Going to the PPM I REMOVED Pwidgets (PPM said it in fact removed Pwidgets). Well, Pwidgets was still on the desktop! A reboot and although Pwidgets was said to be removed, all the modules still appear on the desktop? I re-installed Pwidgets and just removed the weather module (that took) so now I maybe can see if that has anything to do with the WiFi drops? Don't understand why Pwidgets DID NOT remove after being un-installed through the PPM???

EDIT: It's not the Pwidgets weather module, another drop without it!!!!

Seamonkey 15 preforming well!

Youtube viewing... some of the fonts are showing up as 'PCOMPASS FONTS' (squiggly little arrowheads) instead of regular text? (That's a new one for me.)

OK... that's what I have so far... testing continues!

A few more issues:

1. Glipper tray icon's background is white, not transparent.

2. Package deps like "upstart-job" aren't resolved in PPM. There is no such package name "upstart-job" in the Ubuntu Precise repos, as it's a virtual package provided by "upstart". One such package dependent on upstart-job is "binfmt-support".

Barry, 01Mico requested that I post this on one of your threads. It
concerns a bug in the startup script where optical media are being
interrogated. A freeze occurs forcing a power down. I had learned to
live with this happening once in awhile but for some reason his latest
Slacko (5.4.0.5) is really bad in this regard (10 freezes in a row). So
I finally opened the case and disconnected the cables from the DVD
Drive. That allowed Slacko to startup.

The drive is a fairly new LiteOn Super All Write DVD Writer. It's been
causing this trouble going back to your Precise 5,4.3 (or so). It doesn't
happen if I manage to start up and create a Save file. It only occurs
when trying to start a pup the first time.

01micko has been after me to clean up the /tmp directory permisions in my frisbee-1.0 packages, because it created situtaion that jeopardizes puppy stablity/rebustness. I have corrected that problem in the 20130228 version now available in the usual places.

Here is his patient explanation to me:

[phdzaps]

I am not sure if it is a real improvement or not but I think it is:
in /usr/sbin/delayedrun, I change line 199 to read:
[ -x "$a" ] && exec $a &
Things seem to run slightly better for me after. This is in multiple versions of puppy also.

The following USB flash memory stick is not listed in pmount in PP5.4.92 but was in the previous version of PP.

An attempt to remaster precise-4.5.93 (no CD drive, but the ISO is mounted) ends with this error warning - see attached image. The one-line fix suggested in wary/racy thread doesn't help. Any ideas?

PS: this was initially posted in a wrong thread, sorry.

edit: a quick test - remaster doesn't stumble on this ISO in dpup exprimo-3.6.2. Something must have changed in the script. See another attached image.
