Pourquoi essayer d'installer un paquet Gnumeric 1.10.16 destiné à Wary5, lorsque Puppy Precise 5.4.3 possède déjà une version 1.10.17 fonctionnelle ?Pelo wrote:Incredible ! impossible to load Gnumeric
Precise Puppy already has Gnumeric, which runs fine.Pelo wrote:Incredible ! impossible to load Gnumeric

Strange. The PAE-Precise has 3.2.29 kernel, the non-PAE-Precise has 3.2.32 kernel -- so the non-PAE kernel is actually a later release of the 3.2 series, one would think with more bug fixes.Sage wrote:Not wishing to be defeated, in desperation, loaded the entirely inappropriate PAE version on this old all-Intel 2.66G(32-bit)/512M machine and BINGO - everything wireless is working. All the issues reported above refer to the (recommended!) retro version, which has been more useful in my testing regimens so far as I can muster kit from a K6-II/Athlon750 in small increments to a 939 and occasional loan of completely unnecessary, but widespread, multiple core machines. Wierd indeed, especially as the retro version is ~30% larger, presumably to accommodate a bigger range of ancient HW?
For completeness, I took the precaution of loading pemasu rt...fix and rerwin's pdiag. Could prove useful when moving this HD around on a caddy.
Thanks for your forebearance, folks. Look forward to BK repairing the retro version for future deployment.
I'm running Precise 5.4.4 (not yet released!), and that video runs fine on my Acer Aspire 5742G laptop, sound and video. For others who want to try it, here is the URL:broomdodger wrote:pemasupemasu wrote:broomdodger.
I see exatcly the same mplayer output in my Upup Precise, but the video plays. So I cant find exactly useful debug info though there are several error messages. I have them also but the video still plays.
There seem to be some version mismatches from some reason.
It can be graphics card problem also.
I tried the same mp4 video on another machine, Toshiba Satellite M205
It has a different graphics card and... the videos play.
Strange that the video plays on the ThinkPad with racy5300,
but not with precise 5430.
I haven't read the rest of the Forum thread, so perhaps there is further analysis of this Ralink problem.pemasu wrote:I found one thread from the 2x00 developing forum which might be relevant:

I first posted patched module....but double checking...it seems that patch was already in the rt2x00usb.c so...no cure for rt2800usb with this patch.
I changed it to "96" in Woof, then chickened-out after thinking about many windows being too big -- as you have commented -- so I changed it back to 78.ETP wrote:Barry,
You will see from the following posts that you have hit on one of my main issues with Puppy:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=82607
I can confirm that a change to 96 dpi will benefit 90% of users, the one possible exception being some netbook users who may need to throttle back to 84 or less during initial setup and save file creation as (depending on hardware) choice boxes may be off screen with a resolution of 1024x600.
On balance I would still however go for 96 dpi and can confirm the beneficial effect of then using hinting on LCD & IPS panels.
I believe that I was instrumental in persuading 01micko to include Fontwizard in Slacko and suggest that you also consider including his revised pet:

Finally may I say how all your efforts are appreciated and wish you a Merry Xmas.
That is a very strange PET, it is only tar'ed, not gzip'ed.ETP wrote:I believe that I was instrumental in persuading 01micko to include Fontwizard in Slacko and suggest that you also consider including his revised pet:

That is a neat method of upgrading!Flash wrote:Report on updating multisession Precise 5.4.x.2 to 5.4.3:
Downloaded the 5.4.3 iso from Ibiblio and burned it onto the same BD-RE (rewritable Blu-Ray disk) that contained 5.4.x.2, using Burniso2cd in Precise Puppy 5.4.x.2. (Burniso2cd will overwrite whatever is on a rewritable DVD or Blu-Ray disk without first requiring the disk to be blanked.)
After burning the Blu-Ray disk, I left it in the burner and clicked the Save icon on Precise Puppy 5.4.x.2's desktop. This saved the state of Puppy as it was in RAM as the first (two, as it turns out) sessions on the Blu-Ray disk. After 5.4.x.2 finished saving itself on the Blu-Ray disk, I rebooted and then saved again.
Now the multisession Blu-Ray Puppy boots the same as it did before I upgraded, with all my settings and installed programs intact. Only now it's Precise 5.4.3.
Precise 5.4.3 has Pdvdrsab version 0.2, which is supposed to be fixed, see my blog post:bark_bark_bark wrote:Still pdvdrsab still doesn't work...
I might put Pmusic back in the next release of Precise, if most users want it, rather than Aqualung.Terryphi wrote:Barry explained in his blog why Pmusic was left out of Precise 5.4.3:

Many thanks for the revised Fontwizard pet and for making it available. I am sure that many users will appreciate it, but it is worth pointing out that its benefits do not really become apparent until the DPI is increased to 96 and X is restarted.Personally, I prefer the default rendering, even on a LCD screen, but to each his own!

Forum member xophist noticed that some of the values listed for modifier masks in "Quick Info" text of the the the JWM Confiuration Manager's Keyboard Shortcuts dialog are no longer valid.
This is because of a change to JWM in late March or Early April of 2010 (after JWM version svn-470, and on or before version svn-474).
So the text needs to be updated.
For more details see: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 052#673052
The "Quick Info" text is contained in /usr/local/jwmconfig2/keyConfigHelp.
Here is one possibility for the new text:
Perhaps the old values should be included as well, in case someone uses this utility with an old version of JWM?Code: Select all
A - Alt (mod1) C - Control S - Shift 1 - mod1 2 - mod2 3 - mod3 4 - mod4 5 - mod5 To see which keys are mapped to the various mask values, open a terminal window and enter this command: xmodmap -pm
More detail could be added explaining how to determine which modifier to use for a specific key, but I wanted to retain the brevity of the original text. The xmodmap -pm hint should save a lot of head-scratching, and most folks who get this far can probably figure out the rest from the information given by xmodmap -pm.
(Note: This issue also applies to jwmconfig2-121105.pet in the Packages-puppy-slacko14-official repo, used in Slacko.)

I began by modifying GRUB4DOS's "menu.lst", copying the ISO's files and booting Precise 543 from folder /Barry/Precise543/. Subsystem and desktop changes were made as is customary for all of us in using the desktop.
With the system's operations, everything operates normal or as expected in file creations, deletions, and filesystem access.
