Lucid Puppy 5.1.1 Release - This is the official release
Howto Build Your Own Puppy
Building a PUP from Scratch is an interesting discussion here.
The topic covered here by @Stripe, @playdayz and @pemasu is great. But, I have a request for either/both of tyou. After you work thru the stumbling issues, would you post a HOWTO that shows how you build a Puppy with the releases that you are currently working on?
A step by step on how you achieved your resulting systems ISO would be extremely useful, I think, to the community at large. Think it over.

I realized I hadn't said that either! Dave_B said it right: well done to all of you! Thank you for all you do!Dave_B wrote:I first want to say that I really like Puppy 5.11 and my thanks go to all the folks involved in creating this jewel.

Once you wade through it the first time, you'll see it makes sense. (I'm not using Lucid yet but assume pups from the same litter are all similar.)
HTH
Thank you! I actually discovered 'select Open with...' a few minutes before I found your reply. Now I have to find the right icons. I'm still curious about the letters that are showing up with the Pwidgets apps. Does anyone have this 'feature'?

Pwireless2 not working
I'm having a problem getting pwireless2 working in 5.1.1. I've posted full symptoms over on the pwireless2 thread, but basically after I go through the standard procedure ( install pwireless2, remove profiles from Network-wizard, reboot ) pwireless can't see my wifi card, and just locks up when I click refresh or roam, and I have to kill it. In the small hours I remembered that 5.1.1 has an option to make Network-wizard the default connection option, and I'm pretty sure I clicked on that setting up after installing. Could that be stopping pwireless2 connecting properly, and if so can I undo the default setting or do I need to re-install?
I am now building test build of luci512pre with added 50 .deb files. I would like to do some postinstall style adjustment. Like postinstall.sh script which has rows to execute adduser and addgroup like this:
Where and how should I do above in woof after ./2createpackages phase.
When I have succeeded in what I am doing now, I might try to make luci without packages I dont need. But doing that there is risk that something basic breaks also.
But here is someone doing lucid smaller using woof:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 759#451759
Code: Select all
addgroup --system pulse
adduser --system --ingroup pulse --home /var/run/pulse pulse
addgroup --system pulse-access
gcmartin. In fact I am doing opposite. Not building from scratch but making basic woofed lucid even bigger.Building a PUP from Scratch is an interesting discussion here.

new version of mhwaveedit opens retrovol
I compiled a new version of mhwaveedit 1.4.20
that is able to launch retrovol
It works only in Lucid Puppy (perhaps because I compiled it in Lucid Puppy)

There might be people who thinks woofed luci 512pre or followups discussion hijacks this thread. Should it be continued in own thread ? I just thought that some people would learn something just by reading and also bugs might be found from the woof builded luci and it would be useful to discuss about them here. Of course success is main aimHi pemasu
Looks like woof has been fixed, I have just downloaded a new version via bones, added Playdayz 4 original 512 files and everything downloaded OK, Its just on compiling now.
(where do we talk about woof?)
Hope this helps
Stripe
Stripe. Thank you. Downloading now. I will try next woofed luci 512pre ? today.
EDIT: howto make postprocessing adjustments and execute commands. zzLupu_Utilities-5.1.1.pet seems to be answer. It includes postinstall sript called pinstall.sh. Download .pet from http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... -5.1.1.pet rename it to tar.gz, extract and then make your needed commands to the end of the file, save. Launch dir2pet to package it as .pet again. Next step not yet tested. Replace woof downloaded zzLupu_Utilities-5.1.1.pet with your own in woof > packages-pet directory.
Also you could create your own zz...pet which includes pinstall.sh only, make entry for it to Packages-puppy-lucid-official or someother and then copy your own pet packages-pet directory. I will test the first method first. Let` see if this works. If someone knows better, playdayz knows of course, let me know.
I have also noticed that using woof_gui confuses my building. I am going to edit files manually and launch woof scripts straight in terminal in this woofed luci.
Remind of basics of woofed luci by playdayz: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... e83#423897

mplayer
mplayer appears to ignore dvd menus, though it will play a dvd as a whole.
Not a big issue, as vlc is available as a pet, and works with dvd menu.

GRUB-1 vs GRUB-2
from page 35 :
I`ve now X-Ubuntu 10.04 livecd installed on xfs partition :
/boot/grub/grub.cfg isn`t as tough as puppy`s menu.lst !
I made a lot of manual adjustments and
first time only 23 of 71 (?) entries showed up. putting the '}' closing bracket at the right place and adding one or even two emtpy lines between the entries made them showing up reboot&fixing-grub.cfg after reboot&fixing-grub.cfg
I downloaded the source of grub 1.96 ,1.97, 1.98 from Ubuntu and debian and many .src from these are lacking scripts like configure, conf.sub, stamp.h.in and so on
.src.rpm appear better for the content.
but I coulnd`t find any .rpm for 'os-prober' packages
`os-prober` seems to be important to write a grub.cfg with entries and `linux-boot-prober` really reads the old menu.lst files
I detected this because at one Macpup HD always a Suse linux boot entry showed up and after I uncommented the Suse lines at that menu.lst
Code: Select all
# linux-boot-prober /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1:/dev/sda1::/boot/vmlinuz::root=/dev/sda1
/dev/sda1:/dev/sda1::/boot/vmlinuz::root=/dev/sda1
Software Packages in "lucid-updates", Subsection admin for grub 2
Software Packages in "lucid", Subsection admin for grub 1
and even "maverick" has got grub-0.97 as package
os-prober_1.39_i386.deb could be found on some of these places :
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/utils/os-prober
SeaMonkey alpha is available and Current Seamonkey recently
@DAveS
How did you go about installing SeaMonkey alpha? (maybe you could let us know at Puppy &SeaMonkey)
Thanks for your efforts.

How to upgrade 5.0.0 to 5.1.1 ?
Hi all,
Thanks for a truly great Linux (particularly to Barry).
My desktop widget tells me that my version is 5.0.0
Since I'm not very experienced with Puppy I haven't discovered how to upgrade to version 5.1.1.
Or is that not possible? Do I need to do a fresh install?
What I would like is a simply "click here" way of automatically upgrading to a newer version.
Please somebody point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
OzOle

XMMS, XNView
@smokey01,
The version of XMMS posted on your site works perfectly with Puppy 5, and I wanted to thank you for that. It's sort of like having an old friend reappear.
XNView, however, is another story. It installs OK but simply won't run or open a file, it just appears then exits. PPM didn't complain of missing dependencies on install. Any suggestions? I found a .sfs of a newer version (MP) that will run on Luci but it's not nearly the program 1.70 was. It won't even support printing.
Appreciate any ideas!

Here's a link to RamSwapManager using compcache-0.6.2 compiled for Lucid, posted on the other Lucid thread.

XnviewMPbeta0.26.sfs is the latest build. The development progress is really slow. That sfs has only viewing properties.
I will post next version when the developer makes progress.
And I made the sfs in early Upup phase so it should work in Luci. I have made it my default viewer all the time. Why ? Because it can rotate photo automatically when viewing based of digi photos EXIF data from the camera.

assistance with upgrading from Puppy 5.0.0 to 5.1.1
G'day Smokey,
Thank you for responding so promptly!
I have installed Puppy on a 7-year old desktop PC and it really works like a dream, it flies. But I'm sure you know that already.
It is a full installation on a relatively new harddisk with 160 GB capacity, so there is plenty of room for Puppy expansion
I have been using Linux for nearly 10 years but not done much on the operating system side of things, just installed and used. I have been an applications software developer nearly all my working life until I retired 3 years ago at the age of 65. Obviously you cannot work with software and computers that long and not pick up something about OS. I have also used Ubuntu & Linux Mint (an Ubuntu derivative) and their updating system is very streamlined. However, I love Puppy Linux and really want to make it my premier Linux.
So, back to my question:
Is there a simple way of upgrading Puppy from 5.0.0 to 5.1.1 or should I download the ISO file and do a fresh install?
And if that is the answer, are there any good reasons to do so right now?
Cheers from Qld,
Ole
