Lucid Puppy 5.1.1 Release - This is the official release

[rcrsn51]

Can some people please install rcrsn51's pet on p. 25 just to test that it doesn't have any side effects? Thanks.

I have replaced my original version with shinobar's improved version, which provides better substitutions for some missing fonts.

Just installed the font-patch PET and PDF is working fine.

Lucid 5.1 with 003 update Frugal ext3 (... and a partridge in a pear tree ...)

THANKS!

[Jim1911]

Frugal installation of 222, everything works as expected, no problems. It's solid on my hardware. Installed over 20 extras, ie. OpenOffice, Thunderbird, Firefox4, Amarok, Bibletime, numlockX, pwidgets, wbar, wine, eSword, java, foxitreader, games, etc. All work fine.

Cheers,
Jim

This is just a test install but I believe this card needs the 71.86.xx Nvidia driver.

Full install is on sda2.......no indication of such.

Otherwise,everything appears to be working..........

EDIT:
For accuracies sake, I tried the 96.43.16 and 173.14.25 drivers......X wouldn't start with either.
Working good (no acceleration) with the nv driver though.

SeaMonkey w/ 2 tabs open......................

Installed 222 to a usb flash drive using bootflash in 222.
On first boot with flash drive wired network is connected.
Installed nvidia driver in quickpet.

It works as expected.

I find the Lucid/luci numbering extremely confusing.

Is the double-naming and numbering for the same product really necessary?

Anyhow, is luci-222 the same as Lucid 5.1 with 003 installed, or ???

In answer to your last question, no.

The" Luci" releases are, as the thread title states, testing releases.There needs to be a simple way to differentiate between testing versions and stable release versions so different names.
AFAIK, the next stable release (non testing) will be 5.1.1, when testing is completed.

playdayz or 01micko can answer better, but that's my understanding of it.

Dug another old box off the shelf to test a full install of Luci-222.

Full install is on sda2.......no indication of such.

Otherwise,everything appears to be working..........

I checked a full install of 218; it had an indicator on the drive.
Something happened after that test version.

[James C]

A working indicator would be nice, with 14 or 15 partitions I forget which one I'm using.......

me again

box1 (intel internals all the way)
frugal to /dev/sda3/puppy222
start: puppy pfix=ram

-started with instructions to install xorg-high
-started as before with screen at 1600x1200@85hz
-changed down to 1280x1024@85 OK
-changed down to 1024x768@85 > failed as expected BUT with a <ctrl><alt><bs> it dropped out of X to a prompt with instructions to use xorgwizard.
-started xorgwizard, chose choose button >but no i915 in pick list, therefore cancelled and started probe which seemed to work, selected test and changed down freq and size to as before ok
-installed frugal ok
-menu, shutdown, reboot to setup a save file > blue screen changed matrix up to 1800x1440@80hz therefore displayed data is very small
-working through the savefile creation works ok and it rebooted

- started via menu ok
- xorg-high installed ok
- rebooted ok and xorg-high ok
-started firewall ok
-qpets work ok
-pets from a mem stick installed ok
-started ff, had to resize to deal with the vertical "straiffing" but ok otherwise.

-doing this report from there, seems ok >except for the browser font has the narrow font characters though still
-checked midori, >font is ok but getting "giddy" when scrolling page

will update later when box2 has been loaded (love the new "month" as plenty of bandwidth (for now)).

scsijon
ps my drive indicator works ok, orange bubble root, green bubble mounted.
pps just rebooted into my 5.1 working system and found it had reset to max matrix again, hm that didn't happen last time.

Box2
runs like a dream except for the following 2 problems

1- it has two cd drives and even though it is booted from the first it insists that I put the cdrom in the second to do an install! ?why?

2- it's modem worked under 431 but is not detected now. There seems some info and the fix via pet on this problem in barrys latest quirky. Can you see if one of the two is compatable with 511 please?

boxes 3 (dell) &4 (ipex) later today.

regards
scsijon

edit: found the modem fix link http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 94&t=55794 rgds scsijon

Icewm bug with tray icons...

I gather this snuk in in latest woof, the ice package needs slight modification

First, open /usr/share/icewm and delete the blinky and freememapplet executables.

Second, open /root/Startup and delete z-fix-icewm-tray or whatever it is.. (um I already deleted it )

Third, replace /usr/local/sbin/jwmx2 script with the one attached, expand.

That should do it.

Cheers

It's not possible to download the 003 update or the Lucid .pets
from Ibiblio using Seamonkey 1.1.18.

Luci-222 live pfix=ram in my main Linux box.

Installed Xorg_High and Firefox..........everything seems good.

[Karl Godt]

Oh, I found it. It worked! Does it not work under some circumstances?

Though the [Reopen..Tab..] icon isn`t correct IT WORKS to open previously closed tab at midori

drive icons on frugal install : mount (x) circle is o.k. ( and was o.k. the last luci-2xy too ( frugal ) )

Something went wrong.....................

[James C]

Let's see....

In /root/startup/ there is.."wmfix" and "z-start-icetrayapps".....I chose the second.

In /usr/local/sbin/ ,there is no jwmx2 to replace,only a link to dhcpd in /sbin/. Expanded and put file there.

Where did I go wrong?

EDIT:

"jwmx2 is in /usr/local/bin/.........

222.... Same Old Problem
Thought I would try the default configuration this time. Fresh Frugal, save file yet to be created..... booted to desktop as expected. Opted to use given defaults as they looked OK. Set Wlan0 no problem. Set Locale to UK, no problem. Tried to set Flsynclient..... Synaptics not found!
Re-booted creating save file. Tried Flsynclient again... Synaptics not found.
Deleted save file, re-booted using classic configuration system. All no problem INCLUDING successful Synaptics install.
Notice others have had this problem in the past.

Hmmmm...............
