Upup Precise 54X7 using latest woof at time
Download vlc media player sfs, qt libs sfs from my repo and test vlc. It might work better. If not...I dont have much more options to offer.
If I get reports that other people have problems I start to hunt some broken package.
I havent changed any of the default Barry Kauler specs in this build regarding to the multimedia backends, libs or dependencies.
So....I wait for other reports next.

I compiled a special version of mhwaveedit in precise
that will accept plugins. It also will open retrovol even if there
is no config file.

Does spotify works best on Dpup Exprimo or Upup Precise?
I refer to these files
qt-4.8.0-phonon-gstreamer-qtwebkit-dpup.pet
gstreamer-plugins-deps-0.0.1.pet
spotify-0.8.4.103.pet
I guess this part says they are for Dpup?
dpup.pet
I tested on Lupu 528-005 but failed so maybe did something wrong.
I will test later again today or tomorrow.

I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Nooby. There were enough references to what distro those pets were meant to.
You can experiment with pets and sfs meant to squeeze dpup, but it is up to you how they work or does not work in Upup Precise or other distro outside Dpup Exprimo.
I wont test them for users in Upup Precise. Use and test them at your own risk.

Upup Precise 5.4.X.4 has been uploaded. I used latest woof with all fixes through it.
PPM package manager should check if dependencies are up to date, if not...it asks to update ubuntu databases.Which updates now really fast.
http://bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00038
Above is needed because precise update repos are available and the packages are updated there frequently. So you also get some updated core - system files from this build.
For example usable Firefox-17.0 was there, tested it and worked fine.
The repos have been configured to use fastest one first, at least for me. I got firefox-17 in about 10 seconds from PPM.
Pburn and Pmusic updated, Mhwaveedit updated, supports ladspa plugins now. Type ladspa in PPM and you get multiple plugin choices to choose. Don570 has also created a pet from one large plugin set.
Xchat has now unigue default name string so that puppylinux users are not confused from changing username.
This build is still quite near of the official Precise Puppy. I would call it PuP build: Pemasubly unofficial Puppy.....lol

Hi Pemasu,
on Precise 5.4.X.4 installed on Dell620 laptop:
something strange i cannot reproduce ...
while working with gnumeric on a file stored on a USB memory stick (stick i'm using since ca. 4 years), the stick suddenly has been seen as "read only" with an "input/output error" message when saving to / or deleting a file.
The files name had no accent nor «exotic» character in it ...??
I have also to report that just before I accidentaly closed the lid of the laptop getting it to «sleep mode»; opening the lid resumed to previous mode, with gnumeric running again on the currently opened file.
Restarting X fixed it; but opening the usb stick with rox file manager showed filenames coloured in red with exclamation mark mini-icons.
Have then unmounted the usb stick and opened it on another PC (running Exprimo 3.6.2), and there all OK.
No further result to report as I am now at job ... other priorities to deal with ...
Cheers, Charlie

..input/output error on USB memory stick (solved)
Hi,
1. filesystem well corrupted
2. at first, didn't know what happened; afterwards might be not enough memory space left although Partview reported then about 20Mo free ...
3. cause is external to Precise (see 2. above)
Solution: succeeded in recovery of ca. 3,5 GB files (except images) using TestDisk

images recovered using PhotoRec ...

bug in categories
There's a strange bug in the categories of the start menu
While making the Imagination 3.0 pet package I found that I couldn't
make the name show on the start menu.
I tried several multimedia categories but it was hopeless to
get Imagination to show. Slacko and Barry Kauler's Precise doesn't
have this problem.
The good news is that Imagination 3.0 does run nicely if you launch it
from the terminal.

T22 IBM Thinkpad
New testing Upup_Precise-5.4.X.4:
Equipment:
IBM T22 Thinkpad
256MB RAM
20GB HDD
FIRST Test:
Live CD:
Results: 5.4.X.4 loaded and ran without any problems however as with previous version, CD could not be removed during run-time.
Did a Frugal Install, everything loaded-saved like it should. CD is now open to use for data, graphic etc., files. 'Nice' - Grub4DOS was the only version that set boot-load from the Grub menu up properly... regular GRUB couldn't cut it!
Everything tested in 5.4.X.4 ran without a single issue so far and it is a very pleasing addition to this OLD Thinkpad. I have an Exprimo-5.X.2.9 that runs also very nice (Live CD only with a savefile to HDD) on this machine but could not get versions beyond that to work?
I highly recommend 5.4.X.4 for old machines with at least the (mentioned above) configuration of my IBM T22... could be that lesser configurations will also work... be interesting to hear!
rcrsn51... Many a time you have saved my skin on this forum but on your statement that old puppy's are for older computers, I have to totally disagree as I see what has happened here with a T22 and Upup-Precise.

Re: T22 IBM Thinkpad
Umm.... My comment was in reference to your complaints about running off the Live CD on low-memory machines. Once you do an install and get to a "pfix=nocopy" environment, the situation changes, of course.sszindian wrote:rcrsn51...

Hugh sszindian,
if i good remember (see Slacko story from beginning) you'd be one of those (...happy?) Brookdale 82845G video chip featured PC user ...would'nt you ?
If the case, welcome to the club!
just to report that 54X4 (currently X version 1.11.3 + intel driver version 2.17.0) works OOTB without X black screen at X restart on such machine .
Also Exprimo runs nice after done an intel_drv.so rollback to version 2.11.0...see here or disregard if irrelevant
