thanks to all the developers, contributors & testers!
Xenialpup was only possible because of 'woofCE', forked from woof created by Barry k, maintained by 01micko, wdlkmpx, mavrothal, iguleder, zigbert and contributed to by various others.... all the hard work went on there

Works! Posting from it now.
Feels smooth and fast. Good work 666philb!
Update: Palemoon started to get really laggy after about 40 minutes and slowed everything down to a crawl (100% CPU usage), not sure why as all I had open was a few Puppy Forum tabs. Right-clicking it and pressing Kill fixed it for now.

A small first finding....
When Frisbee is started from the Welcome screen, the wifi key is corrupted when entered and so the connection is not successful.
Frisbee called from the desktop icon or from the terminal works OK.
Have seen this type of problem before - may be some sort of GTK2+ theme problem....will investigate further.
Otherwise initial tests went OK.
Cheers

Thanks again for very usable and useful pups.
Have frugal installed on a 250gb hard drive on a couple of 2009 vintage Dell Inspiron 1545 machines, one single core other dual core. No real problems, but seems to run about 5deg C hotter than Trusty.
Battery icon seems stuck at 95% capacity on mains or battery only.
No indication that usb drive icon is mounted or not, but drives work fine.
Internet fine (speedometer monitored) and shows good speeds via wifi both fixed line or mobile access using TPlink router. (However Pale Moon was a bit slow coming up with results with a speedchecker - but this could be me!)

Thanks for this one, I'll have a look later. Abiword crashes anyway (or at least the recent ones do) so I wouldn't worry about it. I've long ago learnt to never use it for anything mission critical.
Abiword 2.8.6 will be accepted by users, don't worry.

Abiword crashes, easy to solve,
provide version 2.8.6.

I managed to manually create a lightencrypted savefile which is working. Read:

and following posts. I can print postscript files (print first to file using postscript and then "lp -c file.ps"). I have a working skype using tahr pulseaudio and libraries from tahr. I have builded an sfs but it does not properly work for me without installing apart the tahr pulseaudio pet:

setting a wacom tablet
Posted: Tue 19 Apr 2016, 18:10
by charlie6
Hi 666philb,
great work again !
I got a try to get an old usb Wacom Volito tablet working on Xenial:
- only /etc/X11/xorg.conf needs editing and adding the "wacom bits" as follow (should be enough ...BUT):
Code: Select all
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
#from kernel 2.6.35 and later the "SendCoreEvents" after InputDevice is no longer required
InputDevice "stylus"
InputDevice "eraser"
InputDevice "cursor"
InputDevice "pad"
EndSection
and afterwards after the Keyboard0 section
«Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
...
EndSection»
Code: Select all
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "stylus"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "USB" "on"
# Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "Mode" "Relative"
Option "GrabDevice" "1"
Option "AlwaysCore" "on"
Option "Speed" "1.0"
Option "Threshold" "5"
Option "CursorProx" "5"
# Option "Speed" "5"
# # Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Serial Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "eraser"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "USB" "on"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "cursor"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "Mode" "Relative"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "GrabDevice" "1"
# Option "CursorProx" "100"
Option "Speed" "1.0"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "pad"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "pad"
Option "USB" "on"
# Option "SendCoreEvents" "false"
Option "ButtonsOnly" "on"
# Option "Button9" "2"
# Option "Button13" "3"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
EndSection
# if you have a touch pad just uncomment the next section
#Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier "touch"
# Driver "wacom"
# Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
# Option "Type" "touch"
# Option "USB" "on"
# EndSection
..BUT: after restarting X, the wacom tablet still does not work ...
Looking at /dev/input:
there should be a symlink /dev/input/wacom pointing to the event (here event3 - might be also 4) relevant for the usb tablet (read /proc/bus/input/devices to find which event id).
And that symlink should be
automaticaly generated by a kind of wacom.rules files located in /etc/udev/rules.d or also in /lib/idv/rules.d.
How to fix it:
1. To get that symlink automatically generated,
replacing the existing /lib/udev/rules.d/69-wacom.rules
by the following - given in attachment
/lib/udev/rules.d/69-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.ruleswacom.rules
fixed it.
2. unplug and re-plug the wacom tablet, which creates the /dev/input/wacom symlink discussed above;
3. restart X to activate the wacom instructions contained in xorg.conf.
I cannot explain more as i only went to this by "cut and try" method by comparison with a working configuration (as also mainly by learnings from forum member Pizzasgood's 2007 initialized nice thread here
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 828#104828 and following)
When the wacom tablet settings are working OK, the command
returns something like (lists the wacom tablet elements)
Code: Select all
sh-3.00# xsetwacom --list devices
stylus id: 8 type: STYLUS
eraser id: 9 type: ERASER
cursor id: 10 type: CURSOR
pad id: 11 type: PAD
sh-3.00#
If it does not return anything , X does not "see" the tablet.
Best regards
Charlie

Hi 666philb,
have noticed this on a pristine installation of Xenialpup 7.0.0:
clicking on a disk icon (here sda6) opens a rox window showing sda6 directory; and a green flag pops up in the upper-right corner of the disks icon.
pmount shows that sda6 is mounted;
clicking on that green flag is expected to unmount the correcponding disk; and aftrwds to swith of that green flag.
Here, what happens:
when clicking on that green flag, pmount shows that the disk is effectively unmounted; but the green flag keeps displaying.
To switch it off, doing
in a console switch it off
Cheers, Charlie

The losetup in initrd.gz is the right one. I have copied it in the main sfs (rebuilding it) in /bin and in /sbin as losetup-FULL and I did a symlink to /bin/busybox in /sbin dir named losetup. Now encryption is working and I can mount encrypted savefiles by filemnt.

Version jump to seven
Tahrpup kept stuck to 6.0.
I will try Xenialpup, of course. I hope the quality as good than Tharpup.
"
i've stuck with the 3.14 kernel for the moment as the 4.* versions" is that really important ? Don't worry, we shall wait as long as needed. Perhaps newbies not even should have remarked the kernel version..
"
that it has both qt4 and qt5 libs" ah, that is the main progress, don't delete anything,
that is the reason why xenial will bring us a plus.
New applications will be available in the menu ! if not, i shall explore and advise what to add in this xenial,

Booted Xenial from Usb stick .
After the first setup and restarting WinManager it stuck to the black screen typed in xwin no reaction. Could not process further.
I had to pull the electricity plug .

I think there is a sort of stigma with 4.x (
Hurr, Durr Im'a Sheep) kernels for many because something worked before but didn't after, though in my cases this was usually because of missing drivers in the kernel build rather than a problem with the version itself. I remember reading according to Linus that they just switched from 3.x to 4.x because the 3.x number was getting too high and it wasn't really a "milestone" difference though (maybe 3.14 -> 3.18 and 3.18 -> 4.0 was about the same amount).

Downloaded and made CD, boots fine, wifi works, freq scaling tool not working well (like in Tahrpup 6.0.(0,2,5).
Used universal installer to put on USB stick, would make to a ext 4, gave "need ExtLinux version 4 for frugal install on ext 4'. Took over 30 minutes to convert 32GB stick to ext3 from ext4., then everything locked up and had to hard boot. Fired up on slacko 5.7 (my 'base' puppy), 9 minutes to ext3 to ext 4 and back to ext3. Re-partitioned stick to 3 parts, 1 is ext 2, 2 is ext 3 and 3 is ext 4.
Back to Xenial CD, Universal installer ok with ext2 and ext3, same message with ext4. made sd2 (ext3) boot and 'folder' save file. Booted to Black screen,bricked, Booted from CD with USB plugged in, found savefile, booted to black screen, bricked.
Not working well with this machine:
Toshiba Satellite C55t-A
Intel Celeron CPU N2820 @2.13GHz , 2.13GHz
4.00 GB Ram
All Intel
This is somewhat normal for this machine, when I first got it, I spent a week trying every puppy I had (4.11 to 5.28, had to update the Bios so I could boot CSM, etc.)
downloaded a few more and made cds, only slacko 5.7.0 PAE (kernel is different than the one in the No-PAE) worked out of the box.
Tahr pup tried to work, just didn't do well. Vivid 6.5 works fine, as does slacko 6.3 and slacko64 6.3, Peppermint 6 works fine (will even boot uefi, s'boot off)
I'll keep checking back
