Upup Raring 3.9.9.2 with non-PAE 3.9.9 kernel. 13 July 2013

[edoc]

Very nice on a Samsung NB30 netbook.

How would you recommend one best acquire LibreOffice to match this puplet, please?

Note: The md5sum for the devx doesn't appear to match. I downloaded 2x & got identical sums - which didn't match the download site.

Thanks!

"Note: The md5sum for the devx doesn't appear to match. I downloaded 2x & got identical sums - which didn't match the download site."

Hmm... Interesting that you should say this edoc as when I tested mine the first time - and just this very moment so as to make sure that my eyes didn't deceive me - the md5sum of the devx matched with the one in the file which reads:

Code: Select all

e8bb3510ac014d8b52b3bee9ab9c6f7e  devx_raring_3.9.9.sfs

And I downloaded my devx.sfs and md5sum text file more than 24 hours ago before you wrote this. ( i.e. "Before anyone had the chance to read and change the number in the file to the proper reading." )

Sorry if this causes any confusion but I hope this has helped in some small way possible?

Coffee's ready! Got to run!

(P/s: Got it posted to the right thread this time around! Last time I posted this to Dpup Wheezy. LOL! Hey... what can I say?! My coffee hasn't kicked in yet! )

Hi edoc

You can find libre office in quickpet. There's an icon on the desktop

Hi. I had to reupload devx sfs, because new xorg intel drv driver development headers needed to be included. I am not quite sure from above posts what went wrong.
Anyway....to be sure, I reuploaded devx sfs and md5sum.txt to the repo.
There shouldnt be any mismatch now.

Here is the mdsum.txt from my latest devx sfs upload:

Hi Pemasu,

... No electricity where I am now, in the island. Candle light, gas Out house, etc...

... hope that the weather is fine over there !

Charlie6. Have you tried the new xorg intel driver ...Your graphics presents other end though, lol.

Yes, i have but no change. My graphics is indeed intel video chip Brookdale 82845G ... ...but runs nice with wheezy-3.5.2.X though !

Also tested on another PC with Nvidia GeForce 6200 (nvidia 304.88 driver): Texture rendering is OK .

I propose my compile of /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so from mesa-9.1.3.
As to reproduce the existing state on wheezy-3.5.2.X , i have MANUALY deleted all existing files in /usr/lib/dri/ except swrast_dri.so after the hereafter-given pet pet is installed.

Please test ...!

Hi pemasu,

Your latest is still working great although when I tried to edit my menu.lst, ran into this problem:

Jim

[edoc]

Just downloaded the devx again and all is well.

I may have caught it just as you were making the update.

Thanks!

[pemasu]

Jim1911. Do you have windows os installed. If yes, then it might be that you have windows os in hibernation. Ie when you let it hibernate it shuts down the comp and you can boot Upup Raring, but it has side effects when you try to mount that ntfs partition. You need to reboot to the windows os and let it wake up from hibernation and then shutdown or reboot normally, then boot Upup Raring again.

As the error message is basically telling.

Yes, Windows 8 is installed, however, it is shut down, otherwise I would not get a boot menu to use other OS. I booted Upup using Grub4Dos. This problem does not occur with other pups.

When I then boot Upup Raring, it informs me that my windows 7 partition is hibernated, when I try to mount it. So it mounts it as read only. The same message as you got. So....hibernating does not stop grub4dos to appear for me. I dont know anything about windows 8 os. It might be that it hibernates the sda1 also, where your menu.lst resides. For me sda1 is not rw protected though, when sda3, windows os partition, was hibernated. I have menu.lst in sda1 and I can edit it.

Anyway....I cant reproduce your problem with sda1 hibernation. Windows 8 is different animal though, maybe not even same species, lol.

In console:dmesg gathers ntfs partition mounting errors. You could check if it tells that hibernation is reason of not mounting as rw.

Hi Pemasu,
here on PIV + Brookdale video chip 82845G:
using new upload raring-3.9.9 by 130717 (start using grub from puppy_raring_3.9.9.sfs + initrd.gz + vmlinuz on hdd partition...as i use to do to test new puppies):
starting without savefile
1. i got a black X desktop screen + a few icons displayed; no popup main menu not text (see attached screenshot);
it was not the case with the previous raring-3.9.9 where the X desktop displayed straight ....is it due to a new xorgwizrad version ..?
2. a few minutes wait time is needed before right clicking displays the popup menu icons; and then allows to find the X restart icons; after doing "X restart", the full X desktop is displayed; one has to do Menu/Setup/QuickSetup-first-setting to set locale settings.

The former raring-3.8.9.1 and former raring-3.9.9 versions had no such problem.

What do I need to change to have performance set to turbo as the default value?

Thanks

Hi tlchost,

What do I need to change to have performance set to turbo as the default value?

You might open (with Geany) and edit /root/Startup/0acpid like this:
add a «#» in front of «/etc/acpi/performance.sh »
and below that line, add:
« /etc/acpi/turbo.sh »
as shown hereunder.
and ... save.

#!/bin/bash
killall acpid
CURRENTWM="`cat /etc/windowmanager`"
if [ "$CURRENTWM" = "enlightenment_start" ]; then
if [ -f /root/.acpid_on ] ; then
acpid && exit
fi
fi
if [ -f /root/.acpid_on ] ; then
exec acpid &
acpitool -a |grep off-line
if [[ $? == 0 ]] ; then
# /etc/acpi/performance.sh
/etc/acpi/turbo.sh
else
/etc/acpi/turbo.sh
fi
exec ppower &
fi

and restart X.

Hi,
about compiling mesa-9.1.3 as mentionned in a previous post, here are some tips, things i managed to do in order to fix error messages encountered while compiling.
This might spare some time while searching how to fix those errors.

1. Need to create the following symlinks:
ln -s /usr/lib/llvm-3.2/lib/* /usr/lib/
ln -s /usr/lib/llvm-3.2/bin/* /usr/bin/
ln -s /usr/include/llvm-c-3.2/llvm-c /usr/iclude
ln -s /usr/include/llvm-c-3.2/llvm /usr/iclude

2. edit these files:

/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libdrm_nouveau.pc:
change Version: 0.6 to Version: 2.4.45

/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libdrm_radeon.pc
change Version: 2.4.40 to Version: 2.4.45

3. installed deps list:

Hi tlchost,

What do I need to change to have performance set to turbo as the default value?

You might open (with Geany) and edit /root/Startup/0acpid

Hmmm, that seems to work...sort of...when Raring first boots, I see the
turbo indication in the taskbar...but then that disappears and is replaced by two performance icons.

I'm running a bootable usb if that makes any difference.

Hi Thom,
have a look at mine, it's set to always boot to powersave (turbo mode is removed - I don't need it).
Replace powersave with turbo and you'll get what you want.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
killall acpid
 if [ -f /root/.acpid_on ] ; then 
 exec acpid &
 acpitool -a |grep off-line
  if [[ $? == 0 ]] ; then
  /etc/acpi/powersave.sh
  else
  /etc/acpi/performance.sh
  fi
	exec ppower &
 fi
/etc/acpi/powersave.sh

Hi Thorn,

Hi tlchost,

what happens if doing Menu/Session/Restart X ? you should get only one icon then, shouldn't you?
/root/Startup/0acpid is an executable script. If you click on it, it executes. You then would get as so many icons as the number of clicks on it...
Restarting X does a sort of reset of the X desktop and tray bar. There should left then only one icon.

I'm running a bootable usb if that makes any difference.

Do you have a pupsave file ? If not, any change you does will be lost at poweroff.

You might also consider also anikin's script.

Hmmm.....I deleted the last line

Code: Select all

It worked...should I have left that line in and changed the powersave to turbo ?

thanks

Jim1911. I have windows 7. When I hibernate it, it shuts down. When I press powerbutton, it boots to my grub4dos menu. When I then boot Upup Raring, it informs me that my windows 7 partition is hibernated, when I try to mount it. So it mounts it as read only. The same message as you got. So....hibernating does not stop grub4dos to appear for me. I dont know anything about windows 8 os. It might be that it hibernates the sda1 also, where your menu.lst resides. For me sda1 is not rw protected though, when sda3, windows os partition, was hibernated. I have menu.lst in sda1 and I can edit it.

Anyway....I cant reproduce your problem with sda1 hibernation. Windows 8 is different animal though, maybe not even same species, lol.

In console:dmesg gathers ntfs partition mounting errors. You could check if it tells that hibernation is reason of not mounting as rw.

When Windows 8 is in hibernation, pressing the power button, any key, or moving the mouse restarts it. There is no opportunity to boot any other OS. As I indicated I don't have this problem with other pups.

EDIT:
Dmesg does indicate that Windows is in hibernation so I booted into Windows and did a through check on the drive and found no errors. Also Windows 8 has a unique shutdown feature that allow a very fast restart. This feature is disabled on my system since it would interfere when using another OS. I just have to put up with the slower boot. I checked that feature and made sure that it is still disabled. For your info the fast start feature is as follows:

"When you issue a standard power-down command to Win8, it carries out a hybrid shutdown. Win8 first closes and terminates all user sessions in the expected way. Next, it copies what's still running in RAM (primarily, the live core of the operating system — the system kernel) onto the hard drive. It then turns off the system hardware.

When Win8 starts up after a hybrid shutdown, it performs a hybrid boot. As soon as the hardware's ready, the core of the OS reloads from the hard drive; Win8 then picks up right from where it left off. Thus, the OS itself is up and ready to go in a flash. You still have to reload your apps and data the normal way, from scratch."

[anikin]

Hmmm.....I deleted the last line

Code: Select all

/etc/acpi/powersave.sh

It worked...should I have left that line in and changed the powersave to turbo ?

From as little as I know, "fi" should be the last line in a script.
But if I delete that actual last line like you did, the system defaults to performance mode, not the desired powersave. That is why it's there ... a line that flies in the face of reason but gets the job done.
