Has anyone compiled an nvidia driver the new kernel for saluki. Resume doesn't work without it.

666philb was kind enough to provide a driver pet for the previous version

Thanks for any assistance. I really liked the earlier version and should not have simply upgraded to this one.

Thanks jemimah .... your new flashplayer .pet from the repo works great with Midori. I installed it over the old player in a frugal 011 install and that worked .... then I did a fresh frugal 012 install to a SD card ... chose to not install the standard .gz when that was offered, and installed the new .pet from the saluki repo .... that works great also (limited testing so far).

Thank you (and the rest of the Saluki team) for all your hard work ... I may have to give up your Fluppy 012 (which I use daily) for Saluki (but I need to get accustomed to a few new things first). Thanks again KJ

downloaded this pdf suggested by disciple
but pdf's are not opened by a default package (and there are several that can read them abiword, pdf-cube and the default viewer)
http://open-advice.org/

Had major fiddling to set up the sound (I have two sound cards and there are settings all over the place to change to my card)
It was not the control panel, xfce hardware etc that needed changing
but right clicking on the sound icon bottom right and selecting properties. By then I already had the select controls set up (master, mic etc) which were off by default).

An xfce tip some of you will like is being to drag desktop icons from the desktop to bottom left iconbar - that means for example the browser can be opened with a single click Cool

I think that has been mentioned previously

Seamonkey as my main tool has proved reliable Smile

Transmission I have not had a chance to test
It was eating ram in 012 and causing me to have to enlarge the
Puppy storage file (about 5 times in all) but I inadvertently started with
512MB as I rushed the set up stage Embarassed

Tried to use the full Inkscape (instead of Xaralx)
Good program feature set but too slow on features such as
transparency to be usable
Downloaded the xaralx and everything was fine.

For long time Puppy users
Saluki is very different and they may have to learn or install programs they are familiar with such as rox (availble)
I am using both thunar and rox Smile

Saluki is fast loading (a Puppy trait) and innovotive (another trait)
As a base for puplets such as SalukiPy, it should be ideal

Perhaps something from the comments on the wiki . . .
i love Saluki
For now (until the spambots find us) you do not even have to register on the wiki to leave a comment - Saluki page only . . .

Any wiki mistakes or new testers, compilers etc let me or darkcity know - or better still correct the page - it is a wiki Wink

Thanks guys

I can't get Cryptkeeper to work either.

I downloaded through PPM so I assume I have the updated one.

New folder name not in use.

Tried in root and /mnt/home on Ext3 partition.

See screeny.
