Fatdog64-521 (October 12, 2011)
I downloaded and installed the Audacity 1.3.13b pet from the official repo but received an error message regarding missing libwx_gtktu_richtext-2.8.so.0.
I'm sure to find it floating somewhere around the traps, but thought i'd let you know.

Done and dusted now, thanks Kirk....all good.
I didn't use the PPM, i was browsing the pets on your repo and just grabbed it while i was there.
Pardon my ignorance if this is a doofus question, but....what would i have to do to install more filters in Gimp? Would most filter scripts work in 64-bit as well as 32-bit?

Java crashes: Fatdog 520 and Fatdog 521
I've been using Puppy 421 for years. But my new laptop (Panasonic CF-C1) is too new for it... So I've been trying the newer Puppy versions and derivatives. Fatdog runs the best; it's the only puppy I've found that correctly identifies the networking and display hardware. Everything seems great except for one big problem: Java applications all crash with the same type of segfault:
The same thing happens with freemind, moneydance, and QtCreator. The crash always seems to be caused by _dl_make_stack_executable in ld-linux-x86-64.so.2. I've had the same trouble when I use the JRE sfs file from the Fatdog download page, or a fresh installation of JDK from Oracle's download site.
Has anyone else had this trouble? I have yet to find any java app that works OK.
Thanks in advance.

I just assembled this desktop PC today and Fatdog64-521 is the first OS ever installed (frugal). This GPU has been giving some Ubuntu 11.04 users the fits and I expected major trouble getting any Puppy to work with it.
I am deliriously happy to report that all 4 cores were recognized, sound, and the integrated graphics were no problem at all thanks to your ati-catalyst-11.8-3.0.3.pet. This thing runs like lightning.

Re: Java crashes: Fatdog 520 and Fatdog 521
I don't have the problem. I used to use Java6 Update 18 (that's the old SFS), recently I updated the Java SFS to Update25, both works fine here. All the java apps I use - freeplane (fork of freemind), jarnal, eclipse, and a few others - work all right - I never have that kind of crashmaddmike wrote:Has anyone else had this trouble?

hi there

nice work
so.. frugal install on usb using universal installer, too easy.

Wacom BambooFun 4x5.....working sort of
Asus Laptop extra buttons...working
USB2.0 UVC 2M WebCam ...not working
no cpu temperature
wacom functions without any intervention .....BUT no xinput detected by gimp or mtpaint. giving no pressure sense. would this be related to bug#24d53ff795....GTK+ recompiled with --enable-xinput ?
also, installed mandelbulber3d 1.08 64 .deb from debian wheezy...works a treat.....a little scared to use it without temp. monitoring

Probably, when we update gtk we'll put that in. There's another gtk configure option that needs to be changed too. Maybe another release on this base will be done with a updated gtk.would this be related to bug#24d53ff795....GTK+ recompiled with --enable-xinput ?
You can compile lm-sensors and get that information, or probably just figure out which kernel module load, the lm-sensors setup will figure that out for you.no cpu temperature
Glad to hear!Installed 521 on my HTPC. It's great, I can tell a lot of thought was put into every aspect of this distro; it's really quite the achievement.
I started really using Fatdog tonight and have only found a very few bugs/glitches, mostly cosmetic.
Universal installer says ext3 is ext4 but still creates a proper ext3 save file.
Drive icons - right click unmount all does not work
aplay - no sound
Pmusic - no sound.
Xine works perfectly so far.
OpenBox right click menu:
Geany from menu opens a document named %F
Two Gimp entries under Graphic
Clicking either one gives GIMP Message Opening ‘/root/%U failed...
The panel menu & desktop icon open Gimp OK.
lxpanel menu is missing 5 icons.
Document->PeasyPDF Help, but no PeasyPDF menu (both OpenBox and lxpanel menus)
I am getting some weird effects when dragging a window across the screen with OpenBox, but not JWM. As the window moves across the screen it leaves a trail of two or three windows that are redrawing from top to bottom very slowly, but doesn't happen all of the time. Strange.

Thanks Bill, forgot about your CPUtemp pet. I uploaded it to the repo.
Sounds like 2D video hardware acceleration is not working. This usually happens when the Xorg server chooses the vesa driver. It picks the vesa driver because it doesn't have any other matching driver. If you've got Nvidia or ATI try the proprietary pet packages in the repo.

Just FYI, the OpenBox menu just threw a '/root/%F: No such file or directory error' before Gnumeric opens. Again no error from the lxpanel menu or desktop icon.
This is a new AMD FM1 socket with sound and graphics built into the processor and has been problematic on other Linux distros, so I don't really think it is a problem with Fatdog itself. In fact, Fatdog is the only Puppy I have tried that can provide any sound with it. The recent kernel patches leading up to 3.1 have a lot of AMD ATI code in them so maybe a 3.1 kernel and ATI driver update will take care of it. As it is, it's no big deal so far.
All considered, Fatdog64 is an excellent Linux for this brand new hardware. A little menu polish is all it needs, and that says a lot!
Thanks for Fatdog. You guys deserve a lot of credit.
The ati catalyst drivers (pet) are already installed. Having multiple windows open seems to bring it on, and for some reason Abiword seems to be the most affected.If you've got Nvidia or ATI try the proprietary pet packages in the repo.

Thanks for that tip, you are absolutely right. It just happened again. For some reason, once in a while, the flgrx driver is loaded but not used, even though xorg.conf is intact and correct. I confirmed this with lsmod, glxgears, amdcccle, and Hardinfo. Reboot and all is proper again. When the driver isn't used by Xorg lsmod shows fglrx 0 Used by, and when it is used lsmod shows 74 Used by.Kirk wrote: Sounds like 2D video hardware acceleration is not working.

This is beyond my abilities to correct so if you or anyone else could offer some guidance I would really appreciate it.

fatdog is the first puppy to include a wacom driver...full functionality will be much appreciated.....no pressure
rcrsn51
beats the compile option. ive got a half second memory for syntax.
this is the best temp monitoring in linux(as far as sensor detection goes) i've come across so far....was going to suggest it for repo but your way ahead of me.
a question-- any way of changing gtk theme for spot? that is, making it the same as root.
ok, i'll be keeping an eye on the bugtrackerProbably, when we update gtk we'll put that in.

For the time being you can install the gtk+-2.18.6-with-xinput-amd64.pet from the pet repo. Beware that it will eat a lot of your save fileNcmprhnsbl wrote:kirkok, i'll be keeping an eye on the bugtrackerProbably, when we update gtk we'll put that in.

1) remove /root/spot/.gtkrc-2.0
2) symlink /root/.gtkrc-2.0 to /root/spot/.gtkrc-2.0
cheers!
