Precise Puppy RC2, October 20, 2012
I didn't see one posted so here's my attempt at the 'amd fglrx' driver for precise.
I think i got everything and it seems to work.
I used the slacko driver as a template for making the .pet(includes the slacko pinstall / punstall scripts).

Posting as a reply to Barry's Beta 6 ....
Beta 6 destroys the wireless capability I've enjoyed with previous versions.
I've tried both the simple connection and the complex setup. Neither result
consistent connects. If I do get a "successful connect" report I sometimes
can't browse ... it behaves like a DNS lookup failure.
My old Linksys router does not offer WPA2 ... only the WPA Personal that
it's been set at ok for many years.

666philb. Thank you. Your ATI driver fglrx works great for me, with my difficult dual graphics. Usually I dont get stable graphichs and I need hard poweroff at sometime due to freezing. Now it seems to behave....and I get HDMI video outputted to my lcd TV and also....HDMI audio using ATI inbuild audio system !!! First time in my Puppy history I get HDMI audio...
Not bad....well...it means great.
Now I need to remaster this...which I usually dont do at all...so that I have this great HDMI friendly setup made permanent. I have already umplayer, smplayer, vlc, qt-4.8.2 installed.
Very promising.
Touchpad has the usual drunkenness as it has had with this Xorg version all the time. But wireless mouse should work ok.

Re: bold or normal
@tiangeng
Your 2 screen shots seem the same.
Your issue may be because of the GTK or JWM theme.
I tried fresh precise with wqy-microhei.ttf + my fontconf-local-1.0.pet, and found no problem.

Thank you very much.
Re: bold or normal
You also need to remove the dash(-) from 'Sans-12' so that the titlebar (of the windows) can show Chinese characters.tiangeng wrote:<MenuStyle>

The new SeaMonkey 2.12.1 pet appears to work fine. Thanks for the updated browser.

Did you find that seamonkey wouldn't compile against system cairo? Perhaps vpx too if yours isn't recent enough. Can you post the mozconfig please? It certainly has grown a few megabytes in the past couple of years and this version as against 2.11 grew over 1 M. (When I compiled in Slacko, the official mozilla version was smaller once I removed the modern theme).

UBUNTU MINT DEBIAN
Bonjour, Precise please me a lot, c'est à dire beaucoup. Good and safe.
I would like to say ' I dont like more Ubuntu than Windows !"
Too big, too slow, too 'your papers please' and boring.
Puppies are fast, efficient, and when I write here, i have answers.
So, keep puppies themselves, stop clothing them in ubuntu version x, or Mint. I have them on my hard disk. And i never use them.
OK, Boys ?

Sorry with my previous message, after reading your posts
But tell it to Puplettes makers.
I am using precise 5.2.60, all is ok. Wifi, sound, everything..
Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien : french proverbe
i.e sometimes wishing better is worse than the present.
Please keep oldest versions available. Merci beaucoup.

rerwin-fixes-3e replaced by 3f
To those 5 of you who have downloaded my "fixes-3e" package, please replace it with my corrected version, "fixes-3f", available here:

I had omitted a critical part of preference processing, breaking it. Thanks to peebee for pointing out the problem to me.

What will be the chance of extending the kernel in the future for more than the customary 4GB. It would give greater room for system operation and data use.
I sure you are aware, though.

full install shutdown in 5.3.91
It was reported in Russian Puppy forum that Precise 5.3.91 (and Slacko-5.3.3) won't shutdown in full install, just goes to command prompt and it shuts down after entering command:
So the person who reported this just added this line in /usr/bin/wmpoweroff:
It was report about my remastered Russian version but I didn't change anything in "poweroff part".
Code: Select all
busybox poweroff
Code: Select all
...
poweroff
busybox poweroff
This remaster has that ATI driver preinstalled and configured. I am not gonna create generic version of it. It worked oob with first remastering. Just needed checking through /root and /etc so that remaster has all the needed configuration files and folders included. Worked fine. Of course I can upload my remaster if someone wants ATI driver preincluded version. I am going to include more nice stuff though like rox right clicks, laptop tools, acpitool, xbindkeys, vattery-acpitool...when I have time....and remaster it with them also.I would like to experiment with this "remaster" ISO you create as well.
But this is already great.
I have now tested desura also and I am installing several free games for my youngest son...to play in lcd tv. 500 Mb to almost 1 Gb the biggest games I am downloading. Heh.
Old NICs and wlans
Ah yes, tried the natsemi for my DP83816AVNG and the other National DP83820 with the results you predicted. Not sure whether BK would feel inclined to fix it?!p.39
Me:
Any chance some kind soul could add Netgear FA311revD2 NIC to the list, please?
pemasu
That NIC uses natsemi.ko module.
Notwithstanding, at the bottom of a rather large heap, discovered my old Inventel wlan box from an earlier incarnation with Wanadoo - and it WORKS if you can find the correct USB connector. The little silver box signs on either as a Globspan Virata Cohiba 3887 rev0 or Wiston Neweb UR054g according to whether SNS or Dougal's utility is used.
Maybe this will help another horder?
Now here's a request of interest to Smart TV users. None of my USB NICs function with my Samsung machine. They want 42quid for one of theirs against 10quid for an OEM. Is someone in the trade prepared to divulge how they've wired their dongle to detect it as one of theirs. I don't have the genuine article so can't offer to slice it in half to discover their subterfuge. Or maybe it hard encoded?

I previously posted support for btrfs in guess_fstype:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 646#651646
In order to support btrfs as a (compressible) save file format that can upgrade from ext*, the kernel would need support and the following scripts patched:
