Until now Partview runs only from terminal.

When using the CD/DVD Drive Wizard to set the default DVD reader, it shows the selection that is made, but when you close and reopen the wizard the setting is not saved. All of the other settings are saved, but not the one for the default DVD reader.

very good, only small issues:

installing to usb stick ext2 or ext3 there is nosmp in the extlinux.conf file this is not needed anymore.

wireless connection is not saved for next boot need to run the wizard each time.

installing to usb stick ext3 with save to sdb1 crashes next boot with kernel panic

inkscapelite is sensitive, after some installations will not start error massege: undefined symbol: art_alloc

glxgears = 830 fps with puppy, only 600 fps with ubuntu 9.04 on same machine javascript:emoticon(' Very Happy

')

Thanks for the excellent puppy

Confirm CD/DVD wizard does not save selection. Mine was missing the assignment for DVD reader drive. The help button for the wizard mentions programs that Puppy no longer has, but not Pburn.

Pburn still did not work for me, however it got maybe a little bit further. Actually managed to burn something once, but the md5sum did not check out. Got scsi check conditions like I did in 4.1.2. Not sure I've ever managed to burn on this laptop, so maybe the device is not supported. It is reported as a Pioneer DVR-K16M. Will report on pburn thread if it is still around.

Module acpi-cpufreq worked for me with the CPU frequency scaling application. I wonder if it shouldn't be in the setup menu, though.

Partview is confusing. Should show both full capacity and either what is used or free. Perhaps the graphic on right should have the header "Fraction used".

Changing the "calculate" menu into a "business" menu doesn't work for me. I suppose I can edit .jwmrc.

In my opinion the default wallpaper should say "Puppy Linux 3.4.1RC", not just "Puppy Linux". I like to see the OS version number prominently displayed. Just my thing...

So far it looks pretty good. One thing that seems to be fixed in this laptop is that forum text in Xorg is not corrupted like it sometimes is in 4.1.2. So far anyway. This is a big plus for me.

USB -Rundisk flashdrive Won't detect!

Well I did a full install on a h/drive with two parts and all with same hardware.

One partition has V421 and runs well, other partition has V431RC.

With V421, I plug in a Rundisk flash drive and the icon is on the desktop within
10 secs.! - That's fast for me.

With V431rc using the same method with the rundisk flash I don't get the icon onto
the desktop - looks like it's not detected!

Now using the Mount command and waiting and waiting it opens- some what slow I think!
Selecting USBDRV - opens files on Flash drive, but still no icon on desktop.

A reboot of machine with Flash plugged in shows the icon on desktop and click on opens up the files.
What's the fix for this problem?

DaveS,
I can't see any problem with defaulttexteditor, or defaulttextviewer.

sinc,
Partview is launched from the tray, left side.

shinobar,
Thanks, I have fixed You2pup.

Billtoo,
I see also that the icon is missing from the menu.
This fixes your .desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Htop
Type=Application
Comment=Show System Processes
Terminal=true
Exec=rxvt -e htop
Icon=htop.png
Categories=ConsoleOnly;System;
GenericName=Process Viewer

Kenny-M,
The release candidate is just a sanity check.
The final will have more build choices, including SCSI.

dogone,
Nothing I can do about SQLiteManager, there is only an older version available for SeaMonkey 1.1.x.
Hmmm, I might have to remove it.

2. No compatible modules found by CPU Frequency Scaling Tool. Compatible modules are found for both systems under Puppy 430.
...there are no differences from 430 that could possibly affect this. I'm running 431 right now, yep, the modules are there.

bigpup,
Oh yeah! That CD/DVD Wizard is ancient! I haven't updated it since Puppy 2.x. Okay, try the attached. Gunzip and place it at /usr/sbin.

dogone,
Have you tested SQLiteDBMS?

Does it work ok? If so, I can put that in instead of SQLiteManager.

Ah, I just found a bug in the PPM. SQLiteDBMS is in the 'Business' category in the puppy-4 repo, but PPM doesn't list it.

However, click the 'ALL' button and it is listed.

Please test SQLiteDBMS!

Right, I have written down that PPM bug, will get onto it.

Asus eee 900/4.3.1/frugal install on 4GB Kingston SD card

Anybody else having glacial response/100% CPU Usage with Abiword and MS Word docs?

If I install another abiword version, I can not replicate the problem. The installed version will work without problem.

With the service pack upgrade to a full install, I found that "ppmrough" was missing from /usr/bin. Which of course, makes Barry's partview partly inop.

It's not in 4.30 or the service pack.
