Note to Barry Kauler....

I don't know if this is significant but I found two gtkhash
pet packages made by tuuxx
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=711057642&t=32700
that cause recent puppies such as Racy and Slacko
to not install some pets properly.

An example of a pet that won't install properly is stu90's makepet
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=47613

or my Right-click5.4.pet
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=67013

I think it was caused by an incompatible pet specs file inside the
gtkhash pet.

Just installed Racy on my Dell Vostro 1510. Everything works great. Well, everything but the B43 Broadcom wireless but that's to be expected. I'm getting pretty used to that. Just need to figure out how to get it working under Puppy.

Thanks!

Hey! Thanks for the reply.

Right after installation, I tried using the network tools and they were unable to find the wireless device.

I didn't think about doing a modprobe to see if the firmware had been loaded. I'll give it a try.

Thanks!

No luck on b43 firmware. I thought the 3.x kernel would have included the drivers.

Thanks for the help! That fixed it. Racy is extremely fast on my Vostro 1510!

It is amazing how responsive the system is on this notebook Acer Aspire 1350 (Processor: Mobile AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+) when using Racy 5.2.2.

In order to proceed I am doing an application checking and have found out that one of the most convenient tools I use is in fact is working on Racy, i.e. zim.

Here my short list of software I tried to get working on Racy 5.2.2, further down some software that did not work together with few lines of error messages related to it. If the file name is mentioned, I copied it over from the forum or other close-by sources. If ppm is mentioned in the file-name I installed it via the Package Management System of Racy Puppy.

Software that started correctly and apparently works ok:

These packages did not work:

Error messages:
umplayer: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /opt/qt4/lib/libQtGui.so.4)
vim: error while loading shared libraries: libacl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

*(EDITED: works on fresh racy install: [i]geeqie-1.0
new image loader 0x827ec78, bufsize=4096 idle_loop=1
exif read /initrd/mnt/dev_save/racysoftware/geeqie-1.0-i486.ppm, sidecar: -
Segmentation fault)[/i]

*(EDITED: error due to zim installation sqlite3: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /lib/libreadline.so.6)

I did also try to get gpodder working, after - still mysteriously - I got it working on the mini computer Asus 700 with macpup 528 including long series of additional manual installs. I tried to reverse engineer the successful installation of gpodder 3 but then still with no prevail. I would welcome to get it working on racy, though.

* note on edit 20111204: geeqie worked on a fresh install. sqlite3 also works as long as zim-lucid-0.5.0.pet does not get installed. So I am still looking for a zim pet for racy, as the deb file from the web-site http://zim-wiki.org/downloads.html throws an error about not finding modules (using python from dev-sfs)
