Racy Puppy 5.2.2 Final, 18 Nov. 2011

[sszindian]

Info not posting right here...Go to Puppy Forum #2 and see post in Racy...

http://puppylinux.info/

But we will try once again here......

Surprise....

If you have a gmail account for your email, you have a feature in there called 'Call Phone' (if I remember right, you have to signup for the feature even though it's free)

if you go to: http://tinyurl.com/8479cqm

Download the .pet file:

googletalk-ff.pet

Install it in Racy-5.2.2

You have free live talk from your computer microphone to any local and long-distance phone number in the U.S. and Canada.

Works like a charm and is cyrstal clear, probably better than your phone!

This works for U.S. gmail accounts, how it will work for other parts of the world, you'll have to check that out for yourself.

NOTE: When dialing... a '1' is required for long-distance numbers and the 'area-code' seems to be required for all calls, even local.

Might even work in Slacko, Exprimo, Lupu and others... here again, you won't know unless you try.

Suggestion for Barry...

I got an idea while looking a Tazoc's Lighthouse 503

He puts a mhwaveedit configuration file in his ISO
so that the first time a user launches mhwaveedit
it will have a wide window and less vertical scroll bars.
It's a nice touch!!

Here's the file he uses ----> /root/.mhwaveedit/config
Note that there is a line for window geometry

Code: Select all

# mhWaveEdit configuration file.
# Automatically generated by mhWaveEdit 1.4.20
# May be hand edited but extra comments will be removed when the 
# settings are saved.
# Remove this file to restore default settings.

After being a happy Puppy 4.3.1 user for over two years, I decided to try something new. Trying out Racy 5.2.2, I am pleased to see that the past couple of years have brought many improvements. Racy is looking good!

I did notice, however. that ntpdate (which was included in both Puppy 4.3.1 and Racy 5.2.2) is still not working because of an omission in the /etc/services file.

For details see the following bug report submitted by Minomushi in 2010: ntpdate trouble

I am attaching a copy of /etc/services which is a duplicate of the one included with Racy 5.2.2 except that the missing entries have been added.

With Racy Puppy 5.2.2, I managed to add the RT2860.bin firmware file for the Ralink RT2860 driver that was missing to the lib/firmware folder but after that I cannot find any wireless networks when scanning, even though there is definetly one that should be able to be found.

Any ideas on how I can make a Ralink RT2860 adapter work with Racy Puppy 5.2.2?

[sszindian]

nobles:

You might want to move your question on Racy wifi over to the forum thread below for better results:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=74819

I still have a problem with rt2800USB but at least it was addressed over there.

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!

Just tried wuxiandianzi's experiment with k3.1.8 and it looks like B43 support has been fixed in this kernel so there's hope for us B43 users on k3.....

This fixes 2 bugs in the PUI.

First if you choose to run gparted the drive selection window shows your drive twice in the drive selection window after you quit gparted.

The second is that the PUI offers a full install to NTFS.

The French blogger "Gu1" has discovered that versions 1.11 and above of X.org's X Server contain an interesting vulnerability that enables users to gain access to a locked computer.

http://www.h-online.com/security/news/i ... 17864.html

Version 1.11.0 is used in Racy 5.2.2 and Wary 5.2.2.

[peebee]

Just to report that Barry has identified why b43 drivers / firmware fail to load in k3 puppies

http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02651

and pemasu has created a pet of the fix:

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... h&id=51139

and I've tested that it works for my b43 with v13 firmware in

racy 5.2.2
slacko 5.3.1.3
exprimo 5.x.10.3

all with versions of the k3 kernel

cheers and thanks to barry and pemasu

Second :

Karl Godt posted some more fixes to /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown, regarding to killing of stray processes and zombies. Applied.
I got this from: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=73122

Woof commit:
http://bkhome.org/fossil/woof2.cgi/info/a94d3c19f4

.. .. rc.shutdown fixes

Actually i found the killzombies functions while trying to implement udf detection to removeable devices :

Puppy 528 can't read DVD data disk made by Windows

Neither Slacko nor Lucid will read DVD-RAM

Sorry for not posting diff patches , but i am running Puppy511 atm
and want to get PUK detection to USB modem SIM cards to work

Thanks for spelling it out. Applied, will upload Woof soon.

Second :

Karl Godt posted some more fixes to /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown, regarding to killing of stray processes and zombies. Applied.
I got this from: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=73122

Woof commit:
http://bkhome.org/fossil/woof2.cgi/info/a94d3c19f4

.. .. rc.shutdown fixes

Actually i found the killzombies functions while trying to implement udf detection to removeable devices :

Puppy 528 can't read DVD data disk made by Windows

Neither Slacko nor Lucid will read DVD-RAM

Sorry for not posting diff patches , but i am running Puppy511 atm
and want to get PUK detection to USB modem SIM cards to work

Thanks for more details. Well, diffs against latest rc.shutdown would help, as difficult to sift through your post. Anyway, I have applied your latest change to ZOMBIES= line. Will upload Woof very soon.

[Karl Godt]

the killzombies: cut that occurs in rc.shutdown

also occurs in

pmount
drives_all
pup_event_frontend_d

zombie line of
/usr/sbin/pmount for example :

#v3.99 fix zombie process prevents partition unmount, invisible to fuser...
if [ $umVAL -ne 0 ];then
ZOMBIES="`ps -H -A | grep '<defunct>' | sed -e 's/ /|/g' | grep -v '|||' | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | tr '\n' ' '`"
for ONEZOMBIE in $ZOMBIES
do
echo "Killing parentless zombie process $ONEZOMBIE"
kill $ONEZOMBIE
done
umount $MNTPT ; umVAL=$?
fi

would need to be :

Code: Select all

ZOMBIES="`ps -H -A | grep '<defunct>' | sed 's/^[[:blank:]]*//;s/  /|/g' | grep -v '|||' | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | tr '\n' ' '`"

and also in
/usr/local/bin/drives_all
/sbin/pup_event_frontend_d
