wow blazing fast on my old vaio with a 233 mhz processor and 128 mb of ram. everything worked out of the box. Thanks for bringing this old beast back from the dead. Im actually thinking about getting more ram for it to c what it can really do. (only holds 256mb max). Only thing i dont like about it is the browser. I'm hopping someone will package iron for it.

Well thank you for this wonderful os.

I now tried twice, on 2 different rather old computers, 2 downloads for the iso, using this link:

http://puppylinux.ca/tpp/ttuuxxx/other/turbopup_xtreme_v1.iso

Could the copy there be out of order, damaged maybe?

Starting up "live" neither by xorg nor by xvesa could I get the desktop; via xorg remained black and via xvesa white speckled grey screen, with menu under right mouse button.

This is so strange, I got a handful of different puppies working already on both computers and now I am eager to try a really small one on the oldest one (450MHz 256MB RAM 2x20GB HD IDE).

Any other direct download link available?

willem1940NLD,

"via xorg remained black"....isn't that the default for turbo? Did you try right-clicking to see whether menu shows up?

why now that i think of it that is the way the desktop looks with the way its installed. If you move your courser to the left os the screen around the middle the icons should show up. I have mine switched to the other manager and had forgotten that.
Now i have a question will this pet for iron http://www.diddywahdiddy.net/LupuNews/ work with this version?
cheers

Right .... I now found that I can use menu opened by right mouse click ..... and build my own desktop eventually.

But there seems to be a strange limitation in seamonkey/google in puppies older than 431: it/they cannot find most of the websites I am interested in, especially my preferred site/search engine "metaseek" without which I am rather helpless.

I am now pottering "live" with the Turbopo Xtreme V1.0 CD but, so strange, it seems this stuff can only find sites related to (searchword) "puppy" .... ???

Now things are getting worse, even: I forced www.metaseek.nl/ into sea monkey and there the page "metaseek" appeared .... I entered search words but ..... no go, wiped out at clicking "zoeken=search".

And another problem: at selecting keyboard setting, USA VAR ALT-INT ..... got "Error" message only.

???

I think you have now sorted out the lack of MENU quandary. Very Happy Very Happy

As for any .iso being corrupted, that's what you use the md5sum for. It verifies that your copy is okay. The developer lists the md5sum on his site, and once you have downloaded a copy, you determine the md5sum of your copy, and the two md5sums should not differ. If they do, discard your copy and download again.

Wouldn't know how to handle " checksum" ..... other Linux (e.g SUSE) has them built in the isos and burner checks automatically.

But I happen to have downloaded and installed quite a few puppies, repeated if anything seemed wrong; I think most numbers lower than 431 have comparable bugs as which I seem to stumble on.

Would anybody using this turbopup be willing to try and use metaseek site / search engine ..... and/or set up and use keyboard var usa-alt-int with the many accents? These work fine in my again installed (but slower on old machines, since really needing format ext3 or 4 on system disk for reliable stability ..... I tried ext2 again yesterday and again it broke) 511 lucid lupu.

willem1940NLD, in any Linux distro, open a Terminal in the same directory that your xyz.iso file is in and type 'md5sum xyz.iso' into the Terminal (do not use the 's and substitute the full real name of your .iso file for my example of xyz). Hit 'Enter' on your keyboard and it will give you the md5sum -- this should match the md5sum posted on the .iso download site (usually in a separate text file). This tells you that you have the EXACT download as was posted on the internet on your computer.

Then when you burn the CD with Puppy Linux, Puppy's cdrecord gives you the opportunity to verify that the 'burn' was good. Just make sure you give your closed optical drive about ten seconds or more to 'spin up' before trying to do the verification after a burn. A good burn tells you that you have the EXACT data on your disc....

I believe you (that it would work) but I cannot even visualise what you mean by these words "opening a terminal in a directory"; which will no doubt be clear to people with a certain education or longer study. I stay off terminals and the like, too risky stuff in hands of a n00b ..... did you ever see that movie:

?
Cool
Guess a directory is something like a folder ..... no idea how to open a terminal from there. But moreover, I am not acquainted with any system languages so I fear that in my innocence I could not repair an error I might commit.

Most of the past years I had SUSE linux; all their ISOs came with checksum built-in and K3B burner program automatically checked that, as I saw passing.

But again, I do not believe the ISOs (downloaded at least twice) would be wrong - in the same way - all times.

Anyhow, my 511 is working well, though slower than I hoped and I even found a working openoffice-3.3.0.9519_en-US.pet somewhere on Web (I need a program for *.pps files).

willem1940NLD,

I did some digging for you and came up with an old dot-pet that someone else (I think WolfPup) had posted several years ago. (When I see things that are useful, I download them and store them on an external drive -- my own personal repository.)

Here are the instructions for use:

Quote:
First - test the current behavior. Find an md5 or md5.txt file and click
on it. It opens as text - right, not too useful. Close the text window.

Five mouse clicks to install the new behavior:
1. Click on the link below
2. Select "Open it with the default application (petget)"
3. Click "OK"
4. Click "Install Package"
5. Click "OKAY"


Now the dot-pet is installed. I have found it is always safest to save and reboot at this point, but you might be able to get away with 'Restart X Server' from your shutdown menu without a full reboot at times.

Now, we assume that you have your downloaded .iso and md5sum.txt file in the same directory.... (I ignored the part about the radio buttons.)

EDIT: BEFORE performing the following, I suggest renaming your md5sum.txt file to something like md5sum.sum (a different file extension name) so that you do not lose the default behavior for all of your .txt files. Then use the following to set a default behavior for your newly chosen extension name only. Just be sure to remember your "new" md5sum file naming convention for future use....

Quote:
Third and final, find an md5 or md5.txt file,
right click on it, Set run action, and in the
box labeled "Enter a shell command:"
add gwbckmd5 to the front
the result should be: gwbckmd5 "$@"

Select the second radio button at the top:
Only for the type `application/
gwbckmd5'(application/gwbckmd5)

Click: Use Command

That's it, now you should be able to click
on md5 or md5.txt files and have the iso checked.

Hope this is useful,

GeoW


I have used this in the past before I knew anything about the Command Line Interface, and just now tested it in Puppy 4.12. Clicking on an md5 file will now show either 'SUCCESS' or 'ERROR'.

I think you have two issues. The SeaMonkey browser has a search box in the upper right that comes configured by default to search the PuppyLinux Murga forum. If that is where you have been searching for things on the internet but getting nothing but Puppy related hits that is why - you can configure SeaMonkey to use Google or any number of other search engines through the Edit/Preferences menu item.

Secondly I entered your metaseek URL in SeaMonkey and got good search results once I 'ALLOWED' that website to run Scripts - click on the S icon in the lower right corner of the browser window and select to ALLOW metaseek to run scripts. The page will reload and from then on it will bring you the results you expect.

Try these suggestions and let us know if that fixes your issues.

You're welcome, but now I need help with a minor problem. It seems mtpaint is hotkeyed to the up arrow on my keyboard and since I'm still a newb with Puppy I have no idea how to fix this. Any help is appreciated.


Not seeing any responses to this, and I've searched all over the place, this is the only thread I've seen the issue referenced in.

Anyone seen this before or can point me in the right direction to fix? Every time I try to back up a few commands in the console I open a bunch of mtpaint screenshots. Very frustrating. Please assist.

The hotkey shortcuts are defined in the jwm config files, near the bottom of the file. I think its in '/root/.jwmrc' and '/etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc'.. The latter needs to be updated to keep the changes you make!!

EDIT: You may also want to look in '/root/.jwm/jwm-personal'

Please note these are hidden files, or else in hidden folders, so click the 'Eye' icon on the ROX toolbar to see them.

I'm waiting for the Linux version of Iron 6 to come out


From the Iron forum:

"We released a Iron for Linux based on Chromium 6 today. The current version is [stable -ed.] 6.0.475.1.

-Roy


I'm very interested in a step-by-step of how to install the latest Iron once someone has figured it out.

Rick in Raleigh


step 1: install Lucid
step 2: install Iron.pet Laughing Laughing Laughing

When I saw mention of Iron I recalled this thread, though being Lucid may not be much help to users of Turbo Pup.
