(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Well It took me a few days to get the packages straight etc and I'm currently working XO OLPC project and this could be the base for it, We'll see how the testing of this base goes. If all works nicely then I'll start to compile a kernel for XO. I really wanted something solid for it.
What I'm figuring is that I could make 2 versions one with a XO kernel and One for mainstream, This release is a traditional one, good for desktop/laptops etc.

Hi ttuuxxx

Well karmic upup booted ok on my Athlon 2100+ but no xorg .. I think it was the same with BK's snapshot... there is a fix, guess I'll need to dig iaround for it... xvesa no good on widescreen,

Something weird... I went to log in here and since I've been using dpup just instinctively started banging the number keypad and it worked .. but no numlock LED...555555555.. in fact just testing now the LED is acting real weird...555 (LED on) 555555 (LED off)555555555555 um, numlock can't be switced off... so K Upup is not compatible with a Micro$oft keyboard

Ok, more later

Cheers

Running live on my P3 test box......no problems yet. Will probably do an install tomorrow for more testing.

That's a great start, even better if you could find the xorg fix, number lock on the numberlock, Caps lock, all work for me, must be specif to keyboard or something.
hmmm I'll have to look into the keyboard setup I guess. Are you going to keep this copy around so if I make a couple keyboard fixes you could try them ?

I did a save back to CDRW, which worked incidentally . So yes, I'll keep it handy.

I did all my beta testing of 4.2 and 4.3 on CD savebacks.

whats the make and model of your keyboard ? should be listed underneath.
ttuuxxx

It's a Microsoft Wired Keyboard Model No- RT2300

Can't get xorg to work, raedon 9200 pro, 128MB, looks like I need drivers, although xorg reports everything as true and correct.

Hi micko

could you try each of these Xorg packages and see if they work for you please

Thanks ttuuxxx,

I'll try them tomorrow,

Hi ttuuxxx,

Just thought i'd visit the dark side...

Tested here on 3 machines

1) Old P4 2.4 with i810 intel onboard video....xorg works...
2) Dual Core 2.8 with nVidia 8800GT 512Mb....no xorg or Xvesa
3) Compaq 1.7 Core Duo i965 intel ....no xorg but Xvesa works but no good on widescreen...

Sorry to darken your day....gee it's fun building distro's isn't it.

BTW....same results with Barry's Upup

Cheers
Guy

Downloading Linux kernel packages...

Tried on my P4 2.8 w/ Nvidia GeForce MX4000........no xorg but xvesa does work.

On P3 main box w/ Intel i810......xorg works fine.

ttuuxxx,

I've had some of the same problems mentioned above, however, Barry's Karmic upup had the same three problems below and were easily corrected.
1. On the Nvidia issue someone suggested to run the test mode instead of xorg or xvesa and if the test failed to edit the driver to read "nv". It worked on Barry's version and yours also.
2. Next problem was that alsaconf would not work. The solution there was to copy the alsaconf and mktemp files from Barry's upup476 which worked on Barry's and your version.
3. Next problem was that CUPS would not work, the solution to both was to install the cups-1.3.10-1uj.pet from the woof repository.
4. The last problem I've noticed hasn't been solved and was not a problem with Barry's version. Seamonkey crashed unexpected even on the forum site. That didn't bother me since I never use Seamonkey and I installed your new Firefox 3.5.5 that you posted on the dpup topic. At first, it appeared to work fine, however, it has crashed a number of times also on the forum site, nothing exotic.

Still checking it out, and I'm sure that I'll discover some exciting new features you've added, but haven't run across them yet.

Cheers,
Jim

Installed on my P3 test box w/ Intel i810 graphics ....no problem.

I can confirm the browser crashing problem......both SeaMonkey and PuppyBrowser repeatedly crashed to the point of being unusable. Downloaded Skipstone, same problem.

Now posting from Opera 10 and it appears to be stable.

When I first attempted to install, Upup 4.50 cd wouldn't boot., would begin booting the kernel and then "boot error".I knew the disc was good having tried it on other computers so I swapped optical drives and end of problem. Luckily this test desktop uses hot swappable laptop optical drives so it was no big deal to swap out the cd drive for a dvd drive.The original cd drive is good, it just doesn't like Upup I guess.

Anyway...back to testing....

Print preview in gnumeric does not work...nothing happens.
Set up for for add printer... dreaded 631 error.
Print preview in abiword OK, auto spell check not on.
Not finding my wifi dongle.. but might be other issues...
How is your now job going TTUUXXX?
Intel video and came up clean.
Menu's flat.. no icons, etc.

ttuuxxx, installed your latest Firefox 3.5.5 pet from the DPup thread and it appears to be working fine so far.Posting with it right now.

EDIT:

As soon as I posted, Firefox crashed. However Opera has worked fine........using it now.

Tried SeaMonkey 2.0......repeated crashing as well.Still using Opera 10 though....

My menus do have icons too.
