same bug with nouveau as in precise 5.4.3
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=84002

the menu text is not showing as well as some icons and their text.
I switched themes, still no good

under racy 5.5 which I think uses nouveau everything looks fine,
racy will also easily switch to nvidia driver version 173 in my case

PPM and Precise 5.5

#22 Post by watchdog »

All working in my install. I have to signal freezes of PPM in some situations: but it's written in releases notes that PPM is not perfect.

For PPM, I use the interface "ziggy", it prevents freezes.

I SOLVED THE SOUND ISSUE WITH THE Radeon HD 6250/6310 CHIP (I'm happy)

The volume control on the taskbar still doesn't work though : it is always set to maximum and can't be lowered.

Hi !

Precise 5.5 has the nasty habit to freeze my mouse from time to time .
Had that with Macpup 5.2.8 too .
Anybody else ?

Schön Tag .!

But i have still problem with PGPRS Connect in Precise. When i run modem with this application
Menu > Network > PGPRS

In another Puppies not problem. When i press <ctrl>c then modem disconnect. It looks something like this.

Why in Precise can not disconnect modem? In Slacko, Wary, Lucid, Puppy4.3.1, Puppy4.2.1 not problem.

witekjeden , dunno exactly why, but this happened to me also in dpup-485 and squeeze-pup by iguleder. Seems that it is a feature patch built into whatever .

To kill pgprs-connect:

Code: Select all

kill -s HUP `pidof pppd`
in a separate terminal.

3builddistro file explains why the libblkid is not used from this util-linux pet, there is preference of other package for that lib and so...it has been dismissed.

How do we replace the lost functions then? It seems a few things require this library

Install the pet from here. and if you are going to need development files for compiling, install the DEV pet also.

For i486 (compiled in Wary) (450K, 835K):

precise hangs on boot

#33 Post by goolwa_pup »

Hi

just a bug report on Precise

I downloaded the iso and dragged the three required files into a directory to boot

I have an amd phenom 11 cpu 4 gb ram and no cdrom installed..it boots from an SSD drive...precise 5.5 hangs on boot at the line .....recognising optical devices...

menu 1st reads as follows

title PRECISE
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /precise/puppy_precise_5.5.sfs
kernel /precise/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd pfix=copy
initrd /precise/initrd.gz

have tried without "pmedia=atahd pfix=copy" but still hangs on same line

Found that Glade loaded but without the widget symbols and also had these errors.

remasterpup2 eval_gettext

#36 Post by rodin.s »

I found a mistake in line 378 of /usr/sbin/remasterpup2. Variables should be escaped. Otherwise this line is not found by xgettext and is not translated.

Code: Select all

$(eval_gettext "WARNING: Be sure that the live-CD or .iso file is the correct one for the currently running Puppy, which is '\${DISTRO_NAME}', version \${DISTRO_VERSION}. As a check, it must have in it the file '\${DISTRO_PUPPYSFS}'")

I am also booting all my different puppies from SSD
but like this:
# Linux bootable partition config begins
title precise5.5 on /dev/sda3)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /precise55/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 ro vga=normal pdev1=sda3 pfix=fsck
initrd /precise55/initrd.gz
# Linux bootable partition config ends
At 1st boot or pfix=ram I always have to wait, and wait....
Hope that helps

kill -s 1 $(pidof pppd)
