I was wondering where to find a main thread about Slacko, but my energy and intereet have already waned.

Hm, I trust it to be this one?

Everything you need is at:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... ppy-5.3.1/

To me that says this is the main Slacko Puppy and other threads with Slacko in them are experiments with other
kernels or some other such wild things.

I was wondering where to find a main thread about Slacko

Wow, check this out in Slacko 5.3.2: Kernel 3.1.9 and boot 2 desktop!http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=75209

mikeslr and others, I agree that things are more confusing now than when there was Barry's Puppy and all the rest were derivatives. I do not think there has ever been a time when there were so many fine variations of Puppy available--I would list them but I would accidentally leave one out--just check Projects and Derivatives. I regard this as a good thing and I wish we could somehow promote Puppy in that way to the Linux community in general. It is easy to get involved and it is easy and fun to try the different variations and compare them, to get support, etc.

ICPUG, I never wanted to push anyone away from Lucid. Barry wants new people to try Slacko first and that makes sense to me. Also, Lucid would not exist as it is without 01micko and I have the highest respect for his new project. Both 01micko and I are proud of Lucid and are glad that it is working well for people.

Reminiscence: James C has posted the Announcement of the first version of Lucid. It reminds me that when 5.1 was released Puppy was ranked #2 on Distrowatch for 7 straight days. That was remarkable. Micko thought that Ubuntu rushed an update so that we would not get #1

Wow, check this out in Slacko 5.3.2: Kernel 3.1.x, boot 2 desktop, and a new-look default desktop!

oops where is the link
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=75209

can it be that one or an even more recent such?

Moving stuff is trivial on this Board! Wait till we get another spate of deletions! Or rogue title renaming! This board has always suffered a lack of moderation by professional editors who also observe the courtesies associated with that endeavour. There is a long history of such events around here. It doesn't help that there are no admins with the keys to the house who live near the International dateline. Every crook in the world knows they've got nearly a days' grace before they are deleted. Afraid John is just too busy himself and travels with his work. We need to be thankful for his incredible generosity.

I think that a main puppy, as 5.x is, is always a main puppy. Is not the latest main puppy, but main non the less.
The 5.x series in particular is probably the most developed, tested and mature (see bug-free) Puppy.
I also think may have a bigger user base and thanks to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and playdayz, be a really Long Term Support release.
So definitely a "main puppy".

Yes it runs an old kernel and is based on an old woof. But has all the fixes and more!
Kernel wise, all I can say is that I mod it for the XOs both with the 2.6.35 and the 3.1.4 kernel and runs just fine with either!
May be is time for a real derivative, "Super-Luci" with the 3.x kernel that the next Ubuntu LTS (12.04) will use.

Just to show the "old dog Lucid Puppy 5.2.8" can still run with the young new puppies and give them some competition.

Home built:
Intel core i7 2600K
Gigabyte P68 motherboard
8GB 1600 DDR3 memory
Nvidia GTX 560 TI video card
Intel 320 series SSD drive
Western digital 1TB hard drive

Booted with live Lucid Puppy 5.2.8-004 CD
Booted to usable desktop, auto network/internet setup, sound good, etc..... Everything working.

Only expected problems:
Only 4GB of memory showing due to kernel not set to support more than that much.
Nvidia proprietary driver needed for full support of graphics card.

Yes, lets have some more of that long term support.

Note for Playdayz:
The Vesa driver had better support for this video card, than the NV driver it tried to use at initial boot. However, it did boot to desktop you could use.

when it comes to ibiblio, if you change the Slow download -> http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pu ... 28.004.iso
to a ftp download like, ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pup ... 28.004.iso
then use axel download accelerator from the internet menu and post the ftp link and then select 4 simultaneous connections, it will go from a 30min download to a 10 minute download or less, Or If you want a quicker way, say like 4 minutes just give the nluug mirror site link http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/di ... _528-4.sfs

I'm afraid that I haven't followed the thread all that closely and now I'm unsure what updates are relevant to 004. Any chance that those relevant to 004 could be listed at the top of page 1 this thread?

Just a suggestion, maybe they could also be listed in the Lupu News page.

I am not sure if this would be too much work but it would be really cool if they were also in a tab of their own in Quickpet (After thorough testing in that case of course).

also things like browsers for quickpet, its painfully slow downloading firefox from ibiblio compared to 30seconds @ http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/di ... -Lucid.pet

Quickpet is nice, but I like downloading a .pet and saving them to another drive so I have them backed up.

yes it should give you the option to save to file, especially larger packages like browsers. and it should remember that you selected save packages, for the next time you go to use it.

True, but most of those tend to be some what out of date..

I try the .pet form first
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/index.php?f=63

I would like to find an up to date "Seamonkey" That Flashblock would work with. I have 2.6.1

For what it's worth, I run Flashblock in SeaMonkey 2.6.1 .....no problems.A hint, SeaMonkey uses a different version than Firefox.

I does not even show up in the add-ons search.


Edit

I found it here http://flashblock.mozdev.org/

Hi James C

I tried downloading Flashblock from the Seamonkey add-on manager and it isn't there. I found this site;

http://flashblock.mozdev.org/installation2.html#current

It has Flashblock 1.3.18. However, when I attempted to download and install, Seamonkey was extremely suspicious of it. The warnings were strong enough that I aborted the process.

is this a good site? If so, why is Seamonkey so sniffy about it?

Flashblock is a great app. I can't think why it is not included in the Seamonkey add-on site.

I missed your post, I edited mine, that is were I found it too, It does work, but I am a little concerned too.

Same site where I get it and have had no problems here.Go there every time I do a new Puppy install.
For some unknown reason, to me anyway, it's not listed in the addons manager ......guess it's because it's a different version. Firefox 9 uses Flashblock 1.5.15.1 by the way.

When I google, it takes me to Mozilla's site and says "Not available for Firefox 2.6.1" so I guess that is why it does not show up.

I hope I am posting this in the correct place. I have a problem getting pcmcia cards to work with a Fujitsu e7010 laptop. This is a P4 1.8GHz with 1GB ram. I am using 528 update 002 frugal. I originally thought that this was a wifi card problem and posted here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=74877. However, I have found that a usb2 card only works as usb1 and when I attempt to unmount them the machine locks up and has to be shut down with the on/off switch. The wifi card shows up as ath5k. Both the wifi card and the usb2 card work using 528 update 002 frugal on my old Toshiba Satellite 4200 which is P3 800MHz with 320MB ram. I have also tried with earlier versions of puppy including 4.2.1, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 as well as Slacko 5.3.1 with no luck. I did wonder about trying 528 update 004. Would this work? I tried installing XP and had to download pcmcia drivers from the Fujisu site but these cards did work after this. However, there seem to be no linux drivers and I do not know how to compile them for 528 anyway. I am wondering if anybody else has got 528, or perhaps another puppy, to work with a Fujitsu e7010 including pcmcia cards . As nobody replied to my previous post I would appreciate a reply to this one even if it is only to confirm that 528, or any other puppy, will not work with this machine.

Regards,

Ken.

Hello

I've been "out of the loop" on Lupu for a while and find that things have got to update 4 from update 2 when I last looked!!

I've worked through most of this thread but can't seem to find what has been changed/fixed/improved over update 2 thus wheather it is worth applying to an install that seems to run well. Is there a changlog somewhere that I've missed?

Thanks for any pointers
Will
