Upup Raring 3.9.9.2 with non-PAE 3.9.9 kernel has been uploaded.

Latest announcement from this thread: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=719241#719241

Previous announcement:
Libiculess build. Other under the hood stuff removed. Iso size somewhat reduced.
This build introduces new feature in Pup-Kview. You can create report from all the firmware dependent modules and see what firmware it needs. It helps using for example dvb tuners which often needs firmware. I have created megapack of dvb firmwares but I havent checked the status of them yet. There might be firmwares still missing.

Pburn 4.0.2 which should support now f2fs installation.

This build has 3.9.9 kernel which is mostly usb fix update. I noticed usb related errors with 3.9.8 and I felt updating needed.

Small mostly cosmetic fixes based on the pm posts and forum feedback.

Kernel source: http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/Kernel_sources/kernel-3.9.9-upup-raring/

Catalyst and Nvidia proprietary drivers in repo, check k3.9.9 version numbers so that you dont pick up wrong kernel version.

I tested different music apps with this build.

Grooveoff needs these .debs:
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/gcala/xUbuntu_13.04/i386/grooveoff_0.1.5-1_i386.deb
From ppm with all dependencies:
libqt4-core, libqt4-gui, libqt4-network, libqjson0, phonon, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, ca-certificates
and then in console: update-ca-certificates

Spotify: http://repository.spotify.com//pool/non-free/s/spotify/spotify-client_0.9.1.55.gbdd3b79.203-1_i386.deb
From ppm with all dependencies: libqt4-dbus, libqtcore4, libqtgui4, libqt4-network

Clementine: straight from ppm with all dependencies.

Dependencies are sometimes easy to pick up by extracting the control file:

Smplayer-0.8.5 which has the fixed subtitles downloading from opensubtitles.org

Works great with openbox/fbpanel on this basic Intel i5 PC.

I didn't see the new version until almost 3 hours after it was posted!
I'm slipping up.
Manual frugal install to an 8 gb SDHC card running on my Acer laptop.

The laptop is connected to an external monitor via a hdmi cable.

It's looking good so far but have to wait to do more testing,
it's supper time.

Hi,
Raring-3.9.9 + installed the above nvidia-glx-319.32-k3.9.9-upup.sfs
It is reported the nvidia kernel driver failed to load.
(system ask for vesa nvidia driver...but there isn't any present ...!?).

I forced the nvidia.ko as well the nvidia-agp.ko to load (doing depmod -a and modprobe nvidiaxxx.ko) + restart X or reboot without result.

I also ran nvidia-xconfig + reboot without result.

Any advice would be welcome
Thanks in advance!

Here are some infos.

Charlie6. Load devx sfs and kernel source sfs. Then download getnvidia pet: http://101.143.161.76/puppy/opt/getnvidia-0.9.8.1.pet
Exit to console state and run: getnvidia
Let it create the pet and sfs for you. Test your home made.

I suppose you have supported nvidia graphics for 319.32 version ?
If you have legacy class graphics, it wont work.

Edit. It seems getnvidia pet has picked up my catalyst compile drivers also. Lol. There are now stuff form nvidia compile and from catalyst compile inside pet and sfs. Heh. I need to recreate them without catalyst installed.

Looking good so far.
On my nvidia GeForce FX5200 the nouveau driver loads OK with this kernel, no missing graphics and around 400 FPS with "vblank_mode=0 glxgears"

These are the .PET and .SFS packages of the nvidia legacy 173.14.37 driver which gives even better performance at around 1400 FPS with "glxgears"

charlie6 you need NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.xx driver for you video card, recent drivers will not work.

pemasu · Joined: 08 Jul 2009 Posts: 5484 Location: Finland

nVidia-173.14.37-k3.9.9 pet and sfs has been uploaded to the repo. Thank you OscarTalks !

About NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.xx driver. I dont know how to cheat getnvidia script to create other than newest nvidia driver. Also I dont have nvidia graphics so I dont have know-how to create 304.xx proprietary driver.

If there is talented people and willingness to create that pet, I will grant 10 virtual pizzas to the creator, lol. And I will upload the pet/sfs to the repo for others to use.
