I continued to work on Extract-pet over the weekend.
It's localised and finished now :lol:

You should switch to using pupmd5sum by 01micko. I've improved
it to version 0.8 (bottom of page)

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=78276

I'll look into saving the md5sum to a file. Doesn't the file need
a special format???
Such as the name of file and md5sum all on one line.

I noticed the following in your md5sum file for
devx_precise_5.4.X.5.sfs.md5.txt at ol smokey site.

Is that a standard file??

Code: Select all

# MD5
a7a70b667dcb308e0ca832847c2d916f  devx_precise_5.4.X.5.sfs
# SHA1
f0aef2793ad23ccedda6b75923c0f386291e78c5  devx_precise_5.4.X.5.sfs
# SHA256
c4f0daef78854c7c02b0522209d5cf5e5aaa379166bb415bb0aac98ee0f70e92  devx_precise_5.4.X.5.sfs

That has been created by gtkhash. It not the usual 3builddistro product. I had to manually fix devx sfs because valide pet pinstall.sh broke the building. It is fixed now in woof. So I had to manually create md5sum and I used gtkhash. That is when I noticed I lacked md5sum right click.

I have 0.8 version of md5sum already waiting in my next woof.
The name syntax would be the filename.md5.txt or filename.md5sum.txt
like: precise-5.4.X.5-SCSI.iso.md5.txt or precise-5.4.X.5-SCSI.iso.md5sum.txt

Woof 3builddistro uses filename.md5.txt so it might be familiar

The content can be as example just: 07a9d9fcdb39272fc13247dc7be4eaa1 precise-5.4.X.5-SCSI.iso

In my latest bash manual pet I put list of gtk icons.
It might be of interest to you since it's a simple script to add.

holiday cheers / Upup-Precise praise etcetera

#110 Post by soundNICK »

[quote="pemasu"][/quote]

pemasu - just got 545 two days ago... very nice... thank you

since it is Xmas time, and you live where all the reindeer are, I
felt a confession was in order... to assure efficient delivery of
toys and candy : -)

I never knew... never in practice... that each distro needed pets
compiled from its own repo... it just never popped up, until something
broke, and then everybody just laughed. It is a point of confusion, as
there are (Im guessing, from a non-expert perspective) SFS files which
work with /any/ puppy distro, yes ? That, and the fact I have tended to follow your
exprimo line, and just kept reusing older pets without problems... so now...
Upup-Precise just breaks totally when I try that, and I [discovered] this
necessity of recompiling from built in repo... whew... a lot of hot air I know,
but it might help somebody else, if there is anyone else in the puppylinux
community who has missed this for the past five years : -)
Anyway, happy holidays, and thanks again for an excellent Upup-Precise !

If I`m not mistaken, and pemasu correct me if I`m wrong...

Any Ubuntu based distro. should be able to use apps. from close releases.
And I think Ubuntu Multiverse and Universe packages should always work.

The package type shouldn`t matter at all ( .pet, .deb, .sfs, etc. ).

Im assuming you have replied to my post. I was not as clear on this point as I might have been, however, I did have specific problems loading PETs from my previous pemasu-distro
into upupPrecise... total shutdown and refused to work... until I compiled new pets from the precise repos.

Fine if thats the way it works... makes sense, with different kernels and whatever this would be the case... I am no expert.

Answering to above posts. I do not have much experience. Many Lucid Puppy etc users are more experienced than me. Since I like compiling my own stuff, I havent tested even one Lucid Puppy based pet...or deb from previous Ubuntu versions.

But there is compatibility sure. I think it is library version upgrades/downgrades which might cause the problem.
That is another reason, why I dont include applications or libs to the base distro from previous Ubuntu versions. So that the base will be pure.

The users can test as much they want. I am sure many even want to test the build how they can brake it...what I have read from the feedback reports. Many posts has stated that they havent managed to brake the puplet yet....

When you do the tests in frugal installation, you just might destroy your savefile, nothing else... and you can post your succesful experiences in the thread if you want.
I wont though include apps or libs from previous Lucid Puppy or Ubuntu version....for example to my repo or to the base build.

Sound Problems

#115 Post by tlchost »

Running Bootable USB

Sysinfo shows

Speaker icon in taskbar has X says speaker muted

Adjusting slider controls in Retrovol I get sound, but the volume control in the task bar does not control sound and shows speaker as muted.

Attempting to run alsamixer from prompt system reports:

cannot load mixer control: invalid argument

Any help appreciated

pemasu; Lucid is a few Ubu. versions back from Precise, so compatability...

Keeping distro. builds "clean and pure" is the only rational thing to do.

Like most software, new libs. seem to support older versions to a limit.
But older libraries will almost never work in place of the newer ones.
So old apps. can work in newer builds, but not vice-versa ( libs.).

Upup Precise 5.4.X.6 has been uploaded. I have used latest woof which Barry Kauler used for Precise 5.4.3.

Mainly this is bug fix release like Precise 5.4.3.
Wcpufreq has been updated. Nouveau kernel module is not blacklisted (woof bug, fixed now), Ubuntu databases updated, wallpaper by futwerk now the default one, pmusic tray plugin added, network_tray used by sns has been updated (shows external ip address with mouse tool tip and you can change tray icons for network with right click), some other small bug fixes which people posted to me through forum or by pm.

I tested with new jwm 588 and 589 versions. I got several times X crash and in kernel messages I noticed jwm seqfault message. So...I didnt upgrade jwm. I will see how jwm matures, but nice to see that Joe Wing is again in Christmas time working with jwm.

I was meant to include rerwin`s updated network diagnostic tool, pdiag, but now I noticed that I forgot to add it to the DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-ubuntu-precise file, now added, will be in next release.

Smplayer-0.8.3 and Smtube-1.5 is now in pet_packages-upup repo. Use Lazy Fred ie Precise repository downloader app to access my repo.
Tradietrakka Business Management application is now also in repo. Thanks scsijon for the tip:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=83290
Jim...invoice manager has been in repo before.
All these are qt4 apps.

Billtoo. I have used report-video found from the pet: sys-info-1.4.2-noarch.pet.
You are right. Woof rootfs-skeleton has newer version which that pet overwrite. I will update report-video for next release. Barry Kauler seems to have done total rewriting to the report-video script.
Thanks.

Yup. I was right about jwm 588 - 589 and X crash connections:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 718#673718

01micko has been more active than me and he has been in contact with Joe Wing. Jwm-590 might be more stable. I will compile and test it soon.

Upup Precise 5.4.X.6 has been reuploaded. I switched to the latest revision of jwm-590. It seems stable.

Report-video is now the latest Barry Kauler fixed version. It should show the used xorg driver more reliably.

Rerwin`s brand new pdiag has been added. Use it if you have problems with your wireless. It collects huge amount of diagnostic data and helps debugging the wireless connection problems.

Hi Pemasu,

Very fine release. :D :D wonderful work, I'll use for my laptop currently.

but...
That's still a bug in ePDFViewer (a bug in FIND function) that's I fixed for now, installing Z_epdfview_fix_precise-20121106.pet.

Can you fix it in the next bugfix?

Thank You.

Fabio
