md5sum incorrect?
I have just downloaded devx_raring-3.9.9.sfs twice and both times an identical md5sum result - which does not match the one on the download site.

Both work fine on the Samsung NB30 I tested network connection and default browsers, and sound.
upup Raring 3.9.9 has a more finished/sophisticated look to it than dpup Wheezy.
Neither auto-adjusts to the external monitor, I'm not sure if they are expected to since there's a single video card driving both the internal and external monitors.
What this means is that every time the netbook-external monitor combo is powered-up one has to stop and toggle-off the internal monitor & then adjust the window size on the external monitor.
Any chance there is a script somewhere to automate all of those steps through Laptop Setup, etc?

failed to build Nvidia driver on wheezy-3.5.2.X
Hi,
i tried to build driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run on wheezy-3.5.2.5 downloaded on the nvidia website.
This using the latest getnvidia-0.9.8.1.pet + devx_wheezy-3.5.2.5.sfs + kernel_sources-3.5.2-dpup.sfs.
A few minutes before that, i just got successfully driver-nvidia-304.88 on the very same machine+puppy session.
But this time i got the error «failed to build ...etc...».
Here is the getnvidia.log

Charlie6. I believe it is missing symlink problem. What does nvidia-installer.log tells. A little more spesific error report would be helpful. Something which would tell if there is some header file missing. Usually the error message has been that version.h is missing, actually it has needed symlink to point to the right location.

Incidentally, what is a message specifically dealing with geany doing in a Dpup thread? Aren't text editors an important and general enough subject to have their own thread?

Can anyone translate this cryptic code, please?

I could turn off the error code pop-ups but that would leave the errors to happen without being fixed.

Menus
Hello Pemasu,
I'm enjoying Wheezy, my "long-term support" version, with no significant issues. While your menus are much less cluttered than other versions, I tend to get lost in long menus, so I like to personalize them. However, the menus in Wheezy are not cooperating. For example, in Precise, changing /etc/xdg/menus/puppy-personal.menu as below (followed by fixmenus and jwm -restart) produced a menu with X-Personal items on the top level and a submenu called Personal-other. But in Wheezy, Personal persists in being a submenu. Can you give me a hint on this? Thanks.

Wognath. I dont have definitive answer. I would need to create dpup wheezy with latest woof to test how it would generate jwm menus and submenus now. I dont have Barry`s intended separators in jwm menu. But...that is not intentional. I think that 2createpackages has not behaved as expected when the packages and DOTdesktop files have been modified and....as result there are no separator tags in /root/.jwmrc.
I dont know the actual reason. One thing is that dpup wheezy has not official support in woof. But Barry has included support for wheezy to the 2createpackages after my latest dpup wheezy build. So I have had to use squeeze stuff and I have modified with patch files woof so that it has obeyed wheezy building. But I am not Barry K and I understand woof enough to use it and fix small things for my need.
packages.dat, woof 2createpackages processing for submenu separators in jwm , /etc/xdg/menus files and so on are Barry`s design. I understand quite little how it works.
Anyway...strange behavior for you has something to do that that xdg menus has not been created as woof intends. That much I know at this stage.
It could be that next build behaves more normally regarding menus - submenus - separators since 2createpackages script has now wheezy support included in offficial woof.

Hi Pemasu,
some more infos about:
This looks trivial:
In wheezy, the nvidia.ko driver is awaited to be located in:
/lib/modules/3.5.2-dpup/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidia.ko
BUT either in the pet or in the sfs, it is located in
/lib/modules/3.5.2-dpup/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
After have installed the pet , just symlinking as follows solves the question:
I also noticed to have only 1024x768 depth=16 working resolution using a Samsung Synchromaster 152a display. Forcing xorgwizard to depth=24 causes X to a black screen.

James C,
you are throwing salt to the wound ... Yes, it runs great, I will attest to that. And yet, it is the only of my recent puppies, that I'm not at liberty to give a good run. Because of that "boot failsure" feature. I tried to edit the scripts, broke into initrd, but due to lack of savvy, failed to disable it. On every boot, it sticks a desktop flag on my windows partition. Security aside, that partition happens to be an SSD drive, and I want it to last, I want it to have fewer writes, not more. I don't want it to be burglarized, even if the burglar happens to be pemasu, or even Barry himself.
Pemasu, do you know what exact lines in what exact scripts should I comment out to disable "failsafe", both in dpup Wheezy and upup Raring?

anikin. There are quite many of them. But here is the woof commit:
http://bkhome.org/fossil/woof2.cgi/info/e28eb986ce
With anonymous login, you can go deeper and check the diff of the changes files and see the lines which have been modified in each script.
The pupdesk.flg mechanism can be disabled at woof building state nowadays. Now...when running 3builddistro, the script asks do you want to enable or disable it.
