LupQ-510s FINALIZED - Lucid Puppy Quickset edition

[shinobar]

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

Thanks. Changes from 508 is small but please test all around while your usual use.
I like to finalize hopefully in a week.

You can find Nvidia-256.35-k2.6.33.2.sfs from here. You can use it instead of installing the pet to save the pupsave(lupqsave) space.
It can be used ONLY with LupQ because some files, which Ndivia driver requires, conflicts with the files from the main SFS.
Remember, on the LupQ, the additional file can override the files of the main SFS, same as the PET's do.

Hi to all.

I just registered at that forum and tried LupQ.

All went well at the very beginning.

For a long time i used Puppy 4.3.1 and had a problem ,just because i couldn't read a lot of my files saved with their bBulgarian names.All i was able to see were questions marks in the place of the name.

Now i can read them all.So thanks for that.

I think is my mistake but from time to time i loose my pppoe-connection .

It shows "connected" but in fact there is no connection.

So i have to use BarryK "pppoeconf" and then i can connect again.

Sorry for my bad English and thanks again.

Yordan.

Just did a clean frugal install of 509. Tried to install Java and flash. Got a warning message that puppy is running in ram which is not so. I rebooted and created a pupsave file before trying to install java and flash.

Sorry i left the test code by my mistake.
/usr/local/petget/installpkg.sh at line 48

Code: Select all

    if [ $PUPMODE -eq 5 ] || true;then

should be:

Code: Select all

    if [ $PUPMODE -eq 5 ];then

Thanks.

Thanks for the report, yordanj94.
I posted Roaring Penguin bug fix at another topic.

Appreciate if you test it.

[shinobar]

On LupQ-509 and earlier, the flSynclient(touchpad setting) works but looses its settings afte restarting X.

edit the file /root/Startup/load-touchpad-settings at line 2:

Code: Select all

[ -s "$HOME/.flsynclient" ] || exit

should be:

Code: Select all

[ -s "$HOME/.flSynclient" ] || exit

Not lower case 's' but upper case 'S'.

Hi Shinobar.
I tried it for three time,but it didn't work.
May be is just coincident but always works if the LAN cable is not plugged in when i start Puppy.
If i start Puppy from live CD with saved pppoe settings and then connect cable i can get connected.all the time.
Hope this can help

Maybe a big hint.

Attached you can find /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit. Replace it and test please.

[shinobar]

Another additional SFS file here.
ffmpeg-0.6-lupq-1.sfs is 01micko's build ffmpeg-0.6 with dependencies and ffconvert-1.0.
It can apply against only LupQ because many files conflicts with the main sfs.

Enjoy LupQ with additional SFSs.

Hi.
I couldn't do it.
Maybe i'm doing something wrong in a wrong way ?
Is there a prefer order to do that ?
I mean should i start from fresh install or after i boot my live CD with personal settings to replace that file and setup my my pppoe connection again?
Do i have to use your pppoe-config bugfix and if yes witch one is first ?
Thanks for trying to help ![/b][/quote]

Thanks, shinobar!

Bonjour shinobar,
this post just to thank you again so much for your time and energy keeping updating lupq !
Till yet this lupq-508 looks great.
Have tested it mainly for office purposes (wordprocessing/spredsheet/graphic applications on wine/ also entertainment watching dvd-movies with family) all look working flawlessly .
Will download the '-509 and test it.
A plus tard !
Charlie

Thanks mave.
Thanks Charlie.

Tell me what you are running now.
Native LupQ + native rp-ppoe? or LupQ + pppoe.conf?
Anyway, download and extract rc_sysinit-20100916.tar.gz and find /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit. Drag it and overwrite /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit on your current system.
Set the defaultconnect to 'Roaring Penguin' or 'Pppoeconf' that of you are using it. You can check it from connectwizard.
Then reboot and try to connect.

Of course, testing fresh LupQ-509 + rp-ppoe-fix + rc_sysinit-20100916 will be appreciate if you have a time.

Hi Shinobar.
Fresh frugal instal LupQ+native rp-ppooe.
It is the same.
Cable plugged can't ,cable plugged out and then connected works.
The same with live CD and live DVD.Setup made ,reboot,saved on DVD,again reboot and the same.

Maybe something with DNS ?
If i use pppoe-conf no problem.With the last one i dont have to set DNS it looks for pppoe concentrator and finds it by itself.
Maybe who knows ?
So now i use it.
Thanks for all your help ,but please leave it for now.Don't waste time on me.
In the next 24h i won't be able to test it so i will write in sunday.
Bye for now.
Yordan.

I am awaiting your next report with LupQ-509 + rp-ppoe-fix + rc_sysinit-20100916.
Have a happy weekend!

Shinobar, I was lazy and only updated with the older 508 or even 506 pupsave so it did a lot of corrections and flash worked.

But I have to do connect again each time me boot up while way back it did remember how to connect.

So it could be due to me too lazy.

Just a naive thought.

Suppose just me lazy or suppose also many others a bit lazy.

What we need is a puppy that can import all the emails and bookmarks and such from the other puppies. That way everbody would be more willing to try out different Puppy versions. Now one need to remake everything over again.
Too much work.


Now I have three fave Puppy distros.

Quirky 1.0 or 1.2 not sure which to use.
LupQ 509 but it has no email due to Quirky has all the emails already set up and me too lazy to do all that work again. One need to be able to import such from Quirky to LupQ?

I ahve also tried out Puppeee and Fluppy but don't like that it do indexing of directories. Lock up the machine if one have only 500MB memory.

So if I could easily move the Seamonkey email set up out of the Quirky 1.0 and import it into LupQ or to have it as a portable .sfs on the hard drive would be even better.

The best would be to have everything totally portable on the HDD and then regardless of what Puppy one used one had access to every program but on the HDD and not dependent on the pupsave. [/b


Now the Pupsave on Quirky is some 780MB and take a very long time to back up.

So need to trim it down. Sorry for being so confused.

I really love your version of Lucid. LupQ is a good distro.

What we need is a puppy that can import all the emails and bookmarks and such from the other puppies. That way everbody would be more willing to try out different Puppy versions. Now one need to remake everything over again.
Too much work.

As for the seamonkey, the emails at /root/.mozilla/seamonkey/*.default/Mail/* as the default.
But I recommend to set it at the hard disk, say /mnt/home/Mail.

The bookmark at /root/.mozilla/seamonkey/*.default/bookmarks.html, also cookies at /root/.mozilla/seamonkey/*.default directory.
You can show it by the ROX-Filer with click the eye icon on the menu bar of the filer.

Mount with one click the old pupsave, for example lupqsave-old.2fs, qrkysave.2fs, etc. .
You can find /mnt/mnt+home+*+*save.?fs/root/.mozilla directory.

Overwrite the whole /root/.mozilla directory with the one of old pupsave. Then you can import all the seamonkey setting.

Another way with using link:
Move .mozilla directory to /mnt/home.
Make a link to /mnt/home/.mozilla at /root/.mozilla.

Isn't it a good idea?

[shinobar]

Another tip:
Make /mnt/home/tmp directory. and set there as the 'Save file to' of the seamonkey or another browsers.

Large files and important files to be saved uneder /mnt/home in general.
I also have /mnt/home/my-documents directory to save my personal data.
It is clever way for saving pupsave space and for safety.

Seamonkey menu bar > Edit > Preferences > Download

[shinobar]

You can delete the old pupsave after you have imported the data.
But if you like to keep it as a backup, you can compress it:
(On the LupQ) Right click the old pupsave file, and select gzip.
