Hello, pemasu.

Iron refuses to load : system says it's a library because it's in /usr/lib/iron-linux, even if big executable there is given permission to execute.

Opera in /mnt/home/opera flashes on screen, but doesn't stay. Unusable.

Seamonkey ok.

Sound ok.

Symlink from /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt to /root/.rgb.txt, required by gcolor2, is missing, as in most Puppys. (I'm not counting the years I've been saying this anymore...)

BFN.

Google-Chrome works if you install pemasu's fix after installing Chrome.

Quick post before going to work.
Billtoo. That fix has been adopted to the woof and it is already in the Upup Precise.
I tested it with http://www.chromium.org/ without installing that fix pet.
Chromium nowadays uses same filenames and location as google-chrome.

The .deb after installation met the fix automatically and it launched without any need to do root fixes.
So it works oob. Google-chrome fix is in place already.
There is cache limit 10 Mb for those browsers also.

/usr/local/petget/hacks-postinstall.sh

Code: Select all

google-chrome-*) #130221 pemasu. 130224 pemasu: limit cache size...

Hi,

Long time no see. :D

I ported over Qupzilla 1.4.0

I've been unable to upload the .pet to the forums so I just shoved it over on a storage site.


https://mega.co.nz/#!q5hQBQZK!FleMGygwm ... v17-LPHBfk

I installed it on Upup and it works awesome.

Upup Precise 3.8.2 created by using up-to-date Woof

#20 Post by Billtoo »

I installed 01micko's gparted-0.14.1-i686_F2FS-precise.pet and used it
to prepare a 16gb SDHC card then installed a remaster of upup3.8.2 to
the card.
It worked fine.
@pemasu
I didn't know about the Google-Chrome fix already being in 382, sorry.

Hi pemasu

Just to report that all the below tested and working as far as I can see:

Broadcom wl driver (see question below)
Frisbee
YASSM to a Samba 4 server on Slacko5.5
Chromium 25

devx successfully loaded into ram** using sfs-load-on-the-fly (this doesn't work for either Precise 5.4.93 k3.8.0 or PhatSlacko5.5 k3.8.2 with or without the adrv where the system crashes if devx is loaded into ram)
** i.e. pristine frugal install with no savefile

My question on wl driver (many thanks for including BTW) - did you get this warning on compile? If not have you patched the source?

Code: Select all

  MODPOST 1 modules
WARNING: modpost: Found 1 section mismatch(es).
To see full details build your kernel with:
'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'
I get this warning when compiling on all k3.8 pups.

Congrats & many thanks
Cheers

I think pemasu had it (gparted-14.1) in but it didn't take, may have forgot to rebuild the package in 2createpackages. Can happen when in a bit of a rush :wink:

I think he may have, I assumed it wasn't and installed the pet.

Lol Billtoo. I did include Gparted-0.14.1, the 01mickos patched one...and I did remember to check that 2createpackages processed the right one.
:D
Peebee. I have used the same patched source all the time. I just do: make clean and then: make and then I grap the compiled module and place it to the kernel package. I didnt have need to apply any new patches. I use the patches I got from you eons ago.
I didnt check the error messages. When I have time....I will recompile it and check.
MODPOST 1 modules
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in /initrd/mnt/dev_save/compile/wl/wl.o
see include/linux/module.h for more information
WARNING: modpost: Found 1 section mismatch(es).
Heh. It just warns of missing license file. Nothing to be concerned of. This message appears when you use wl.ko module also to the dmesg kernel messages. Forget it.

To be sure...I checked my kernel compile log. No mismatches in kernel. So...forget that error message.

Mount icon at top left just takes space, since same function exists multiple times on disk icons at bottom of screen.

Many thanks Pemasu for checking for me - each time the kernel moves up a version there is the chance that new patches will be needed so it is good to know that the new warning messages coming with 3.8 are not of concern.

Running nicely (given specs) on my little Commell board...

Commell LE-370Z motherboard
Integrated 600MHz Celeron M ULV
1gb RAM
PNY Verto FX5500 graphics card (nouveau driver)
Rosewill RNX-EasyN1 USB Wireless Adapter (rt2800usb / rt2800sta)
CD-R/RW / DVD-ROM ("Combo") drive, of the slimline laptop variety

I've also got an Intel MiniPCI card in this thing, but I've only got one antenna on it right now so it can't find its own rear (let alone a network!) ...w/e the Rosewill card is performing remarkably well...

Ignoring the bootup time (primarily because this board only goes up to DDR1 PC2100 [266MHz] RAM speeds), this is one snappy Puppy on my hardware! It's slightly faster than Slacko 5.5 in launching applications, and it's phenomenally responsive with them once they've launched.

I am disappointed in the lack of a firstrun connect/gethelp/etc box after the personalize-settings thing does its stuff, but I can live with that. A more concerning issue is that, upon first connection to the Internet, there's no check for a firewall -- users have to find that manually (most of them won't, if they've just come from Windblows... ;) )

Only severe "problems" really are a lack of permanent storage on my end and speakers that click and buzz when the mouse moves. Both are issues that cannot be addressed by software.

I like! 9/10 so far.

EDIT: streaming media slows things down a goodly bit -- but that's not surprising, either. Score remains 9/10.

SNS ie simple network setup which is network setup tool created by Barry Kauler launches firewall wizard but Frisbee does not. I think also, that it would be improvement if Frisbee also would launch firewall wizard like SNS.

If you choose SNS you should see firewall wizard. If you choose Frisbee you wont see it.
I have preinstalled in dpup exprimo builds firewallstate tray app by Tasmod. It could be useful in Upup Precise also. Or...Frisbee update. Rerwin.....Houston is calling. We have a problem...lol.

I was using the older, more complex Network Setup. SNS didn't work for me with a couple other Pups, so I wanted to use Network Setup so I'd get the error messages I'd need to know what was going on.

I have a strong dislike for Frisbee.

Well...that one is mostly unmaintained nowadays. Not sure if there is motivation to improve it anymore.

I was told that the storage site I was using doesn't work...

So I reuploaded the Qupzilla.pet

Hope it works this time.

Hi pemasu,

On my frugal install of 3.8.2, the network interface is eth0, but tx_bytes and rx_bytes are not updating in /sys/class/net/eth0/statistics/.

Maybe it's just my installation. :)
