Puppies 4.31.1 Puppy linux 4.30 Plus fixes and FireFox 3.5.3

[ttuuxxx]

I did search the initrd.gz and bootmanager script for _pup -pup and only found 1 in the bootmanager _pup so I'm thinking its ok.

I like the personal toolbar in your seamonkey 1.1.15 v-1 best,
so I replaced the 1.1.18 in my 430 install with that one.

Works fine....mostly.

I'm wondering if the zd1211rw problem with older pups may
be a usb issue.

Works fine....even saves 1/4 mb space.

Has a bit of history that driver http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw
remind me when I get back to 2.20 about this driver and I'll recompile it and see if that helps.

Hi Jeff,

Here's a mirror
http://puppylinux.ca/tpp/ttuuxxx/puppie ... -431.1.iso
I didn't see an md5sum so I made one. Please check it here
http://puppylinux.ca/tpp/ttuuxxx/puppie ... so.md5.txt

Let me know when you do updates so I don't miss them.

DaveS;

With my full installs any file I delete is really gone; with a frugal it
would take a remaster to do this.

I have 412 with 1.1.15 on sda1, 430 on sda2.

1. In 430 I use pfind to find the seamonkey files. Drag them all to
trash and delete them.

2. I have the 1.1.15 v-1 pet on usb, click it and it installs.
( I could also get the individual files from sda 1 or my cd of
Ttuuxxxs' 4.2 no-bling )

3. I click sda1, go to /mnt/sda1/root/.mozilla/default/(all),
drag n44rjsz7.slt to /root/.mozilla/default/(all) in 430....copy.
(this copies my mail and other seamonkey settings).

It's a bit tedious, but not nearly as much as the time I
individually deleted the extra 800 plus printer drivers
I didn't need.

Edit:

This also works on usb flash install.

[MU]

concerning the ati pet:
you could extract it somewhere (tar -xzvf the.pet).
It has a file usr/local/graficsdrivers/atilatest.tgz.
Extract it: tar -xzvf atilatest.tgz

This will create folders /etc /lib /usr.

Now use the official installer from ati, to install drivers, that match the older xserver from ttuuxx.
Then replace the extracted files from the pet with the freshly installed files from the official installer, and repackage everything.
Now you should have a pet, that matches "puppies 4.31".

If also the location of files changed, you might have to edit the path settings in usr/sbin/xorgwizard.

Older xservers in Puppy had everything in /usr/X11R7/bin/.
In Puppy 4.3, some files like "X" went to /usr/bin/ instead.

Ah, ok thanks. Seems like you are replacing 1.1.18 with Ttuuxxx's ultra quick 1.1.15

[dio444]

There is a bug that causes the script to fail, and hence the entire You2Pup system to fail if a local filename with spaces in it is chosen. The fix is easy, simply add "" to a few arguments. Here's a copy of the "fixed" file.

@MU:

- Does your ATI Catalyst 9.9 .PET (for *new* ATI cards) work in Puppies-4.3.1.1 ?

- What package should I install to enable DRI / 3D acceleration for R200 cards in this puplet?

[MU]

@MU: Does your ATI Catalyst 9.9 .PET (for *new* ATI cards) work in Puppies-4.3.1.1 ?

No. As far as I understood former messages, ttuuxx replaced xserver 1.5.2 with an older version.
My pets just include the files for the xserver, that they were created on. This is one reason, why they are much smaller than the original Ati installers, that include the files for several different xservers.
So to create a pet for this puplet here, you had to modify my pet as I had described in my former message.

[panzerpuppy]

Is it possible to just use the installer from the ATI site (without using your .PET package) ?
(All I need is the DEVX .SFS and the kernel sources for compiling)

Do I need a different .DEVX SFS?
Do I need to install an old Xorg / Mesa package before installing the ATI driver?

And what to do if I have an old R200 card?
fglrx or Catalyst drivers don't work with the newest kernel,so I must use the open-source drivers. Is there an R200 DRI + OpenGL package for this puplet with really old X.Org?

[MU]

no, the pet is not required.
It just makes things more comfortable.
E.g. when you select "ati latest" in the modified xorgwizard, it will remove files first, that might conflict with that driver.

I think you can use the original devx and kernelsource sfs from Puppy 4.3, as only the kernelmodule will be compiled, and that is the same in puppies 4.31, too.
The other files, e.g. for the different xservers, are pre-compiled binaries, that are just copied to your system.

Mesa is not needed, as Atis Catalyst comes with own OpenGL drivers.

Concerning DRI with the free drivers:
Look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, maybe you can see there, which xorg ttuuxx has used.
Then install the matching DRI pet from Puppys repos.
http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/puppylinux/
This should work, even if old Kernelmodules are included, as Kernel 2.6.30.5 has own, newer ones in different folders. So it will ignore those from the old DRI pets.

Downloaded and posting from 4.31.1 right now, running live. Will give it a good run later today.

[DaveS]

Does not work with my system, video format is way off. All squashed out wide.

Here's a challenge ttuuxxx or whoever wants to take it

SRWare Iron for Linux alpha 3.0.197

It needs dbus and dbus-glib, libgconf, and libORBit, but once those are provided it seems to want libc-2.8, but that makes 4.3 freeze such that you can click to your heart's content but no further programs will run and then I have to reset. I like FF 3.5.x and I have used FF forever it seems like, but Iron is way so much faster, noticeably, significantly, and I regard that as a quality of use factor. I ran Iron for Linux alpha in Ubuntu 9.04 to see how it works and I was impressed. Did I say it was faster?

And, oh, yes, Iron has an adblock feature that 1) does not slow it down, and 2) Google Chrome does not have the adblock feature--I wonder why?

[Schism]

Tuxxx,

Thank You! Again, for your work.

It basically works and I would love it but the CPU frequency scaling tool was a definite plus for my AMD Athlon dual core. I did install the pet for it but it doesn't work. Anyway to get it to?
