I think that the CPU frequency scaling tool is one of the scripts that has been broken on Precise, from the beginning. Like Xorgwizard. But BarryK is still fixing more important stuff.

For my Athlon II X2 it is easy to work around, all I have to do is:

Code: Select all

modprobe powernow-k8
Then the CPU tool works correctly.

I expect you just need to modprobe whichever module is appropriate for your processor.
That worked, thanks for the info.

wcpufreq script is work created by tazoc, the script has input from trio, iguleder, influence from archlinux etc....
I think Barry Kauler has not done much to this script. The updates have been created by Tazoc,

Here is the latest version. It has at least fixes to the changed location of drivers with 3.X kernels.

More appropriate announcement.

Upup Precise 5.4.X.5 has been uploaded. I use latest woof available with updates. This version has fixes at the time of 5.4.2.2. service pack. Upup Precise has some enhancements compared to official release. Xchat, Uget coupled with aria2c, Pmusic, laptop tools, acpi stuff, xbindkeys for keybinding.

The kernel is official PAE kernel. Acpi_call and rtl2832u (dvb-usb) driver has been added ( thanks 666philb ).

In this latest release I have swapped Aqualung with tray app enabled version (thanks Billtoo), there is wrapper script so that only one tray app will appear, Pmusic-3.0.6 ( with all dependencies ), ffconvert with latest fix for spaces in names, gtkdialog 0.8.3 revision 493, which will probably be the next stable version.
Pburn, Pschedule updated ( thanks Zigbert ), funny rox-clock ( you can drag it to the Pinboard, thanks Jamesbond).
Fixed version of pdvdrsab ( thanks Thunor and Peebee ).

Last but not the least is the new Frisbee - dhcpcd - sns integrated network manager-connectivity framework, created by rerwin, using Jemimah`s work, existing puppy scripts with modifications. Peebee has been active tester and he has given a lot feedback everywhere where it has been needed. Thanks to both of them.
Thunor has given valuable feedback of the gtkdialog components.

Please give feedback about network connectivity, switching between Frisbee and SNS, stabillity etc...
As Peebee posted previously, there is still probably minor bugs.

Rerwin also patched dhcpcd 5.6.4 ( latest version ) with dropwait patch so that the connection should be better with poor signal.

Have fun !

Hello Pemasu

I have just done a new install of 54X5
Here is the latest version. It has at least fixes to the changed location of drivers with 3.X kernels.
With the wcpufreq-0.9.1.pet installed the CPU scaling tool works correctly.

Thank you.

Absolutely brilliant Puppy - everthing seems to work - luv the new rox-clock.

Manual frugal to sda1, booting via grub4dos, on 10 yr old Acer laptop.

Runs as smooth as any other Puppy that’s ever been installed on this laptop.
Low resources used, low temp, fast - what more can one ask for ?

Thank you pemasu for working your magic on BK’s latest masterpiece.

Very best regards - Ray

Finally, done building everything. I fought with mplayer2 and re-alpine for hours - I have no idea why building fails.

Eventually, I replaced re-alpine with Mutt, msmtp (my love! :lol:) and Abook, but mplayer2 has no replacement :cry:

I uploaded everything as a huge tar containing both sources and PETs generated on my computer - but be careful, as I haven't installed them. They were not generated using dir2pet, so I don't know whether the format is 100% OK - maybe I missed something when I wrote the script that makes them. :?

Non-PAE or use a retro driver

#103 Post by davids45 »

G'day pemasu,

Thinking of all you up-over as the temperature here heads upwards of 30 (C not F).

I expect you won't be releasing a "retro" Upup version for the few like me who have a desktop with a perfect record of display failures with PAE Puppies (and a perfect record of success with non-PAE versions).

My desktop's motherboard & CPU are PAE-complient. It has 2GB of RAM so does not need the PAE if I understand what PAE is.

I think it is my Radeon HD5450 graphics card that has the problem of randomly failing (black-screen - then 'no graphics detected' message) after several minutes of happily running a PAE Puppy such as Upup Precise-5.4x5 in Frugal form.

If mine is a PAE-version driver problem, would the radeon driver from a good retro fix the problem in the PAE version?

Thanks for any feedback,

David S.

davids45. It is question of time and dedication.
It seems my next year will start very hectic. It can be even that I wont have any time to create puplet updates. Let`s see.
Our station will meet the boss next wednesday and we will hear if we will get any employee help.
If not....I am afraid I will be too occupied and too tired to do other than recovering...which I will probably do by skiing.

So....atm it looks like I wont create and update another Precise Puppy version. But you never know.

No Audio

#105 Post by tlchost »

This problem was noticed and reported in the main Precise Thread...as far as I know it was never addressed.

Slack 5.4 detects my audio hardware as

Intel Corporation Panther Point High Definition Audio Controller
VENDOR: 8086 DEVICE: 1e20
KERNEL MODULE: snd_hda_intel

It works....if I select that in the Alsa Wizard in precise, I get no sould at all...as far as I can tell, I've made all the correct checks/changes to alsa and retrovol settings

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thom

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

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 !
