Lupu-511 RC upgrading from Lupu-510
-----------------------------------------------------

All seems well . Sound and Internet work as expected.

Opera/Opera Mail are fine

All installed pets are also working.

I tried XFCE4 pet - it shows promise but I think ICEWM in Lupu-510 is hard to beat. Smile

Cheers

@ Dejan

Your Xchat is really cool, very small size but it got installed under Menu-Network. It should be under Internet right?

Thanks!

Yeah I also noticed it misses menu icon, I can probably modify that, it's the default desktop file that came with it, I'll repack with new menu entry.

I was chatting with a guy on IRC and I could only read 我的无线不能上网谁能帮助我 with some numbers in those boxes

Is this normal?

Hi all

Sound issues sorted on new box with the use of a old SB live sound card, have set my daughters machine on 511 (wireless sorted once I new what encryption was being used and remembering to save profile) with network wizard. Daughter been using 511 for 8 hours and she cant break it (10 years old, mainly on games, youtube and facebook). Now the wife is having a go (and belive me she can break anything LOL) It is looking very good indeed.

I am still using ayttm on MSN no problem

Cheers

whois outputs to server window (freenode) but is almost same as right-clicking user name then holding mouse cursor over username at top. It adds a little more info.

stu90: don't forget Pdebthing only detects built-in packages, not user-installed packages.

There's a good reason for this: packages that were made with it can be shared. I can change this in a Pdebthing update if you want ... maybe another option.

my bad Iguleder Embarassed

- i thought pdebthing was checking against all system/user dependencies.

Thank you dejan555, Your polite xchat is now the one in the puppy-lucid repo of Puppy Package Manager. Please remember that the latest index to the puppy-lucid repo is always available in LupuNews and at
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/Packages-puppy-lucid-official Just download it and copy it into /root/.packages--it may be necessary to reboot or to remove any ending from the file.

Here is a version of Aytmm 0.6.1 that is built with Ubuntu binaries. Possibly it could run better than the one that is installed, if anyone could test.

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet-packages-lucid/Ayttm-0.6.1-Lucid.pet

This might be more stable since it is built with the Ubuntu files. It also contains gnu-privacy stuff, which could be removed to make it smaller--I doubt that the default ayttm has it. I am pushing it because if it did work well it could be in an Instant Update without altering much of anything..
