Upup Precise 54X7 using latest woof at time
Zigbert. Sorry to hear your struggle with graphics. You seem to have AMD proprietary driver in use in Slacko.
There are 2 ready AMD drivers to test in Precise. Versions 12.6 and 12.8. I dont know which one is for you. Use for example quickset from the Pinboard or PPM. I think they are in Precise Puppy repo also.
If you can get the X work enough to do that. Like fresh install pfix=ram.
Precise Puppy has radeon modeset enabled at kernel level. I have understood it makes big difference how radeon kernel module works.
So...proprietary fglrx might be your choice in Precise too.....
I dont know how boot time kernel parameter radeon.modeset=0 works....when the kms has been set on as default in kernel. But you can experiment with that also.

I've re-written Barry kauler's report-video to make it a GUI and
localised it. It might be useful to you now??? You might prefer
Tazoc's version but it isn't localised.

Not sure if it is an upgrade bug or a feature, but ...
Not urgent at all, just reporting it.
I had a hard drive frugal install of of 54x6. I have it set in grub so that it is in pupmode 13 (as if it was a USB drive) and I have pupsaveconfig (the latest version that ends in 5) set to not save automatically, but to ask when you exit (0+ in the menu). All was working fine.
I upgraded it by copying the contents of the 54x7 ISO into the correct directory
The possible bug is that it wiped out all the changes I made to my desktop, including links I had added to folders and .desktop files in the /usr/shared/applications directory and the wallpaper I had set. It also readded some of the out of the box links I had deleted. Pupsaveconfig no longer works but uninstalling and reinstalling seems to have fixed it.
Anyway, not really a big deal and I am not really sure if it is supposed to act that way or if it is a bug.

pemasu,
fantastic work!!!
Prior to Christmas I purchased a new desktop AMD FX6100 with Radeon 7450 ! GB graphics card. I could not get any distro to work on the correct resolution of my monitor 1920 x 1080. All the puppy's I have tried so far, would not allow me to go above 1280 x 1024. I have downloaded and tried 3 versions of the AMD driver with no luck.
I just did a frugal install of this upup precise 5.4.X.7 and it picked up the 1920 x 1080 by default.
Everything is working great. Thanks for all your work on your derivatives.

Problems with Packetmanager SOLVED
Hi !
Maybe it is just my problem ....
Problems with using PPm seems appear again . (but maybe its only me )
What happened ?

After using Packetmanager for downloading some stuff ..all letters became little squares ...this bug appeared a while ago .But now it seeems to be back.

New frisbee version announced for testing
Rerwin has announced a new version of "integrated frisbee" for testing at:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... &start=108
For some reason? the pop-ups display at different parts of the screen in Upup Precise as compared to Precise 5.4.3 or Slacko 5.4? Anybody know why this might be?
Some of the components are already in Upup Precise 54x7 from an earlier less developed release - but to be safe all of the new components should be loaded.
Cheers

2 Questions
- is UpupPrecise54X7 same as UpupPrecise372 but with a different kernel? (answered below in this post)
- Do both distros have the latest in NTFS support solving the partition compression issues we had?

I tested your Precise on my laptop, and it works just fine. But my main system seems to require the amd radeon driver to work properly. Slacko brings me Vesa by default.
Yes, I did also test radeon.modeset=0 as boot parameter, but no difference for me.
Thank you for your effort!!!

OOPS / remove this if you want
pemasu / upup-P users
<snip> original post was in error <major smip>
------------------------------------------------------------------
OOPS... and I worked so hard on this bug report !
As it were, it was just "cobwebs"... first day of testing,
and the apps not initializing yet ? Anyway, printing in
54x7 /IS/ working as expected. My apologies to
anyone who read original post before I correct it now.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Im enjoying playing with the ubuntu style apps provided in
upup-precise... there are several ready to go in repos which
other distros dont have.
thanks as usual for all the hard work you've put into these
distros Pemasu !
best of luck in the new year

54X7 wrongly places desktop drive-icon for USB-Key
Hi pemasu & all,
Not sure if it's been mentioned before, it's just my system, or maybe just me.
Puppy is in a folder on sda2. I also have a second sata drive recognized as sdb. Puppy recongizes, and creates desktop drive-icons for, 9 partitions among those hard drives. If I start 54X7 with a USB-Key plugged in, or later plug it in, it creates a desktop drive-icon for it. But it places that icon on top of the drive-icon for sda2, rather than at the end of the row of drive-icons.
