2.6.38.4-lupe18 kernel has been released. It fixes usb hdd detection problems found in previous kernel.

Display (1024x768).......good on initial boot.
Sound........... muted on boot but applied fix, working and persistent.
Internet........not connected on boot.No problem getting it working but not persistent, necessary to reconnect every boot. Wired DSL.

No problem with fullscreen video in Firefox.
Looks solid. Now to start adding some stuff.

EDIT:

Ended up using the classic Network Wizard instead of SNS and connection is now persistent.

Thanks for testing James C,
003 is uploading should have proper audio fix
and is using Pemasu latest 2.6.38.4-lupe18 kernel.
cheers.

update to lucid-526-lite-003

See link for info/download:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 308#519308

Fresh manual frugal install of the latest Lucid lite 003 W/2.6.38.4.

Initial boot, booted directly to a prompt.Ran xorgwizard and got desired 1024x768 resolution..
No internet at boot either, ran Network Wizard and acquired connection (wired dsl).Persistent after reboot.
As you probably guessed by now, no sound on initial boot either.Ran Alsawizard and got it working but on reboot no sound again.Just got it working again and rebooting now. OK, sound is working on the second reboot. Everything is now working, just took a little tweaking.

Thanks again stu90,
firstly for the tips on checking dependencies from the console with "ldd" (that has to be a top-10 tip for newbies), secondly for the reminder that you had MC included (I saw it in your OP but forgotaboutit), and thirdly for looking into the issues of KeepNote and SciPlore15b on my behalf. Sorry to put you to that trouble (and hog your forum). I signalled earlier that I might have to throw some parts of my little project to the "Wolves" - aka the Puppy Gurus at large - but I thought I'd have a bash at it first before I put it to Requests. Much hair lost in the process, and I'll have to lick my wounds and leave/beg those issues to ones considerably more knowledgeable than I...
FYI Dejan555 posted a 26Mb pet of the minimal libraries for KDE3.5 way back when - it seems to have solved my KDE problems, though I don't know how to include Java or Python to the bare minimum, to bring a research puplet to fruition. That 'ldd' trick will help heaps though -
Cheers!

Hi James C,
Blimey that doesn't sound good
i don't think it would be new sound fix causing it, i don't know, i haven't encountered any of these problems with my frugal installs - maybe i need to do a rebuild of 003?
You probably already tried but can you check to make sure md5 match.
392dd6698b556c1f22f2972147b45ca6
thanks.

Oops in trouble now.
Just been round to my parents house to see if 003 would run on some computer other than my own .
Good news. on my mothers windows 7 laptop duel core, 3 gig ram nvida booted to desktop, sound etc ok.
Bad news. as i was waiting for 003 to boot i was playing with one of the dogs who got a bit lively did a 360 spin and smashed into the fireguard sending it shooting along the hearth smashing my mothers ornaments and candle holders. only surviver is a candle holder i broke in the past then super glued back together with out her knowing

MD5 here is 392dd6698b556c1f22f2972147b45ca6 so that's verified.

Just to make sure everything copied correctly, I'll redo the install a bit later and update the progress.

Just to double check everything, I re-downloaded, re-checked the MD5 and re-installed. Exactly the same results. No internet or sound on boot.

Got everything working again but no sound icon in taskbar.Watching a fullscreen Youtube video right now.No problem.

For some reason Lucid 525 has sound problems with these new kernels.Playdayz built a test release with EZ Woof and had sound problems.I manually changed the kernel,modules .etc. in 525 and had, you guessed it, sound problems.

Isn't experimenting with new kernels fun.....

EDIT: Sound icon in taskbar came back when I rebooted.

Hi James C thank you for testing again.

I guess something must have gone wrong in 003 so i wanted to change as little as possible for this time - this upload is a standard 525 with nothing stripped out.
Only changes are made with EZ-woof - using Pemasu's 2.6.38.4 lupe-19 kernel, alsa mod, different theme and wallpaper.

cheers.

I'm currently compiling a tweaked 2.6.38.5 with BFS and some other tweaks, would you like me to upload it? I'm trying to make a 5.2.5 with this kernel so I can replace my current OS (my own spup remix, Teh Gray Puppy) with it, since Lupu's 2.6.33 is too old for my netbook.

This kernel has BFS, latest Aufs, a limit of 3 terminals instead of 8 (saves some memory), a scheduler tweak taken from -ck3 and tons of drivers. It also has Squashfs support for both LZO and XZ, which I'm going to try out now - I'm going to build my tweaked 5.2.5 with XZ compression.

Downloading right now......but since it's after 2 am not testing till I get some sleep.

Several of us are testing these new kernels, and I'd like to try your new build so you might as well upload it and get some free testing.
You've always done good work so looking forward to trying it.

Stu I am back and it behaved as the 526 did yesterday in that sound was loud as should be 100% and xorg did not start on its own and xwin did not start either. Apart from that it appears to behave like what pemasu has on his experiments too.

On my gear it refuse to show temperature sensor. I maybe should activate it in Terminal and I do have that in Notes somewhere but I am lazy just now.

What else should I test on it? oops I am using Seaside's SFS-Exec now I test if it allow me to uninstall the Firefox I loaded Yes looks normal to me which it did not in latest Wary but that one is still highly experimental.

So wish I knew more on how to help you solve this thing with xorg and xwin not starting normally.

Maybe Acer D250 is a very unusual beast. it uses Intel 945 chips and them are known to be problematic are they not. Famous even

Hi Iguleder,
Sure thing i will give it a try

Iguleder I don't mind trying it out on my Acer Netbook too.

Kernel panic

Recompiling my kernel, this time with some stuff added. I think I know what causes this problem and I really hope this isn't the lovely BFS.

By the way, I'm at ~75% of my T2 build, if everything goes according to plan A, I'll build a tpup with a full Bluetooth stack, Wicd and this kernel.

Hi Nooby thanks for the report - i wonder what it making it do this. For this upload i made sure to start with a fresh EZ-woof and changed very little

Regarding batter and CPU temp - the normal puppy ones don't work with these newer kernels - Pemasu made some replacement .pets here:

New kernel + Bluetooth + Wicd

sounds good

I need to test it further then using those pets to see if it does show temperature. I remember that Acer D255 is different. It uses the N470 and not N270 as my current machine use. D255 did show temperature out of the box was high from start. some 40 Celcius going up to 58 or so and setting on a noisy fan and then fan and fan and fan until down to 48 Celcius or so, I don't remember but it was so noisy that I promised to only boot it up if this machine break it's hdd or so. I hate noise.

But that machine did show thermal going up and down while this D250 has it set on 28 and it stay there regardless of fan starts or not. So it can not show the correct therm at all.
