Thanks charlie.
Midori crashes with some non-ASCII character input, even UTF-8 encoding. Right?

Hi shinobar,

Browsing around the lupu-5.1.1 forum thread, I got reading this on page 1:

Hi shinobar,
thanks for your above reply !

Managing to use a dialup modem for sending faxes:
( i.e. a pci PCTel micromodem 56K which is recognized and working on puppy 4.20 and puppy 4.3.1 )
pctel modules are not found in lupq for presumably getting a tiny lupq.iso size; so I intend to pick-up modules from for instance a puppy4.3.1 (or from lucid-5.xx if present ) and copy them to the same place in lupq.

Do I have any chance of success doing that?

( I browsed across the forum and ibiblio searching an archive or a pet containing modem modules ; only found updates )

Cheers, Charlie

I packaged some scripts written by forum member Tazoc into a simple-to -install
pet package. Try it out to see if you like the features it adds to lupq by right-clicking
a file in Rox Filer.

For instance it will extract debian packages, pet packages and various
archives.

I also noticed that when I right-click Ogg format songs, they don't
have an 'Add to Pmusic Playlist' menu item, so I put that in as well.

You can use, also on LupQ, lupu_devx_510.sfs available from 01micko, renaming it to lupu_devx510.sfs(remove '_' before '510').
But there are some troubles.

/usr/bin/man on devx overrides the link to pman on LupQ.
main menu can be differs because LupQ uses libgnome-menu2 from karmic ubuntu, but lupu_devx overrides it with that of lucid ubuntu.

SOLUTION:
Install lupq_devx_fix-1.pet available from here AFTER applied lupu_devx510.sfs.
You need to install the fix once. You need not re-install after removing devx and back.

I have downloaded it and will test. What is most important to test???

What should I look out for. I use a Packard Bell A6 Laptop. only 500MB RAM.

I have already tested 508 if I remember. Went well.

Edit

Back but now in LupQ509 RC.

It has the same problem as many Lupu in that the graphic on htmal if one have low memory split up horisonily when one do fast scroll with most right bar for scrolling down the page. F5 solves it after such mishandling.

What else to test? Tested Streaming Radio and that worked.

Tested Streaming Video from local TV station but Flash not installed.

I guess it is available through the QuickPet? I am too lazy to to that just now.

Will now test jpg and FLV clips and MP4 clips.
