All of these upgrades fix bugs in previous version...

I have upgraded 'xf86-video-ati' to version 6.13.0.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/pet_packages-quirky/xf86-video-ati-6.13.0-q1.pet

Would you guys running Quirky 1.0 and who have the 'geode', 'ati' or 'radeon' video hardware, mind testing these new PETs?
Installed the pet on my Radeon Mobility 7500 machine.
Did run xorgwizard and verified if the radeon driver was selected and loaded. It was ok.

Didn't had problems before, so difficult to say if there is improvement.

But in the whole operation I lost 8MB of my save file. I am puzzled.

Quirky 100
I expected the /tmp to be cleared at shutdown and rebuild at next boot.
But when I look in it I see files which have a date 21 hours earlier.
How is this possible?
(fortunately the bootxxx.log files have the date/hour of the boot time, indicated by the red line.

Now I know what's the problem with the proprietary ATI driver (Catalyst / fglrx 10.4) and Quirky.

The kernel in Quirky 1.0 is a bit new (k2.6.33) and Catalyst 10.4 only supports kernels up to 2.6.32.

A patch is needed to make it work with the newer kernels. There are patches available for Ubuntu, Debian, Arch Linux and Kanotix which make the driver work with k2.6.33 and 2.6.34.

But how to patch the driver to work in Puppy/Quirky?

Can someone make a patched .PET package for Quirky?

The time has finally come to test the latest Opera snapshot and think about the possible inclusion of Opera in a future Quirky release.

This build is unbelievably fast and stable. If you though Opera 10.10 was fast, you'll be blown away by the speed of 10.54. The Flash and font issues are fixed, so the latest build can finally be used for normal browsing.

Here's a fat-free package of the latest snapshot I made for Quirky:

Opera 10.54 fat-free package for Quirky

NOTE: Just make sure you disable smooth scrolling (a major CPU hog) in the Opera preferences. It's turned ON by default.

Enjoy and share your experience Smile

Uses less resources than Firefox, although more than SeaMonkey. Is there a way to move the window?

Seamonkey 1.1.18??? If Quirky is an experimental version, why are we working with an old version of Seamonkey? So then, is Quirky gonna be like Debian Lenny (stable)? Wouldn't it be better, more progressive to work on integrating Seamonkey 2.x?


You need to read me blog! There were reasons for staying with 1.1.18, but the next Quirky will have 2.0.4, as a couple of the problems with the 2.x series have been solved.

Great work as usual, Barry.

The screen is so dim I can barely make out the icons. Background is dark blue.

Things are fine in 4.3.1 (full install)

Tried 2GTK color chooser and Nathan's Wallpaper trying for lightest,brightest screen display possible and made a slight improvement by using the citrus theme, but still barely usable.

Searched thread, no one else seems to have the problem.

Probably me, notQ1, so would appreciate any direction.

Regards, retr3


I have posted an upgraded ati/radeon driver, could you test that?

A much better Opera package based on today's snapshot is now available for download from the link below.

This build fixes a lot of stuff and further improves the usability of Opera for Linux.

I removed even more (unnecessary) stuff this time, making this the lightest .PET package of Opera ever. This is the one to test.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/hlxknp

Make sure you disable smart scrolling in the Opera preferences and limit the memory cache to 20 MB, so it uses the least amount of resources.

Also decrease the Max Window History Lines from 50 to 8 in opera:config to use even less memory.

Enjoy! Woof-Woof!

Try the latest build from this post and follow the instructions posted here to minimize the resource munch.

That solved the window issue. There's a problem with video's stalling after about a minute, which doesn't happen with firefox or seamonkey. Here's the video I used:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KJdDnQ1ss0&playnext_from=TL&videos=HJQZ7r5IqlA&feature=featured

Here's resources on my Dell Latitude after the stall:
Code:

Mem: 545032K used, 489592K free, 0K shrd, 32672K buff, 375916K cached
CPU:   7% usr   5% sys   0% nic  86% idle   0% io   0% irq   0% sirq


Edit: maybe needs to be moved to an opera thread??

Hi Barry,

Thanks for your efforts on behalf of we who do not know how to hack 3G wireless nets.

I just gave a test drive to Quirky 1.00 and thought it was near perfect. Only one glitch. Using two different computers when I probe for cell modem it returns "USB0" which is correct but on the next step the program freezes up requiring reboot. Here are some processor ID's for you.

1. AMD Phenom Quad
2. Pentium M

I live in an area where there is no CATV and thus no easy or inexpensive broadband available. For 7 years I've been on dialup. ISDN is also out of the question. I am luckier than some out here as I live on top of a mountain and do have a cell signal from a repeater some miles away on another mountain top. Two months ago I started Verison cell modem service. They use the Novatel USB760 wireless modem. So far I have not been able to get online with any linux distro. Puppy seems to be the best there is with this new release. The prospects for broadband access seem closer than ever.

I will be patient and hopefully someone else who knows how to identify a bug will do so and it can be fixed. That is, if it is a bug. when I finally get online with Puppy I can retire my XP to "offline games only".

No answer to this is necessary. I know you are busy.

I will carry the Quirky DVD with me and try it on other computers as chance allows.

JPS
