This is mostly a bugfix release with a newer kernel. So don't expect nothing fancier. And please note that things like proprietary drivers won't work unless you recompile kernel modules against this new kernel (nVidia display drivers, ATI catalyst, VirtualBox, etc.)

[Read more about previous version here] (devx, NativeLanguageSupport-SFS and more SFSs)

Download: |user: puppy| |password: linux| [Browse directory]
Type 'puppy pfix=ram' when booting from CD or start without choosing a pup_save file in Frugal install (type 0 in pup_save list) New features:
  • - 2 visual styles:
    • "keep it simple" (without Conky, without visual effects and using a fast gtk theme)
      "shiny things" (with Conky, xcompmgr for visual effects, murrine-rgba gtk engine for windows with transparency on some areas, transset-df allows you to set transparency level)
    - More gtk themes.
    - New linux kernel: 2.6.28.5 (2.6.28 + Ubuntu-8.21 patches)
    - Now using System Sound Themes, kguitars by default (based on kguitar GPL sounds)
    - Increase/decrease window transparency. pressing ALT+MouseWheelUp/Down, if xcompmgr is running.
    - Tabble, application launcher, provides an easy way to launch and organize applications

Hai Wow,

I understand that your puplet is something special.

However being a non-tweaker, I do not understnad why.

What can a simpleminded person like me do with it.

How to install sfs's pup's etc.

Or is your puplet vizually a tool for tweakers and not for those illiterates like me ?

Hi Wow

This is simply stunning - wow is an understatement.
The effort you have put into this is clearly considerable
and you have produced a Puppy Showpiece.

Absolutely amazing.

All the more so that it is running very reasonably
on my 6yr old ram challenged laptop.
(VIA Nehemiah 1ghz proc. 91mb ram. 250mb swap)

Many, many thanks for an absolute WOW=winner of a Puppy.

Very best regards - Ray

Wireless

#10 Post by Barburo »

Hi Wow
Great to use a kernel that actually recognizes and uses my dual-core processors. Conky shows both working independently.
Not sure whether it's a function of your desktop manager, but choosing 1280x800 (my notebook's native screen resolution) in Xorg always results in a screen resolution of 1024x768.
The good news is that it also displays on my external 1440x900 monitor well enough to use, without my usual nVidia drivers (which I guess would need to be compiled against your new kernel).

I have a Broadcom bcm43xx wireless card. On first boot nothing was recognized, but after using the system for a few minutes I retried the network scanner and all of the local access points showed up.
I used the wireless connect wizard as I would normally and clicked on "retain for next boot". Happily I downloaded Firefox and a couple of other pets, and was surfing nicely.
I rebooted and nothing came up for wireless nor can I connect again. Any idea what's going on here? Why did connection work once but not again?
The available b43 and b43legacy modules don't seem to work for my card and the bcm43xx module it isn't available in the list of modules to load.
The wlan0 interface shows up but I can't get connected again.

I'm a bit egoist, I made this puplet just for my needs, what I wanted was an small puplet to install to a usb key, capable to boot on newer boards, with low RAM usage (I dont't want to create a swap file every time I boot puppy on machines with 256MB ram or less) with better modular support ("load more than 3 SFS", thanks to MU), multilanguage, multi-core support, Force Feedback (aka joystick/gamepad vibration) support, ready for Compiz Fusion, and with a impressive look.

This is what I do with it:
I use WinFF to convert youtube videos to whaterver, or just convert .wma files to mp3 or ogg.
Chat (Ayttm)
Play FoFix (not included) [youtube videos]
Check/Read/write email.
Boot WinXP Home with Virtualbox to use MS Office (not included)
Edit sound files with mhWaveEdit.
Play some PSX games (ForceFeedback)
Compile stuff faster with "make -j 4" (SMP)
Burn DVDs.
Play music with Pmusic (every day)
Watch some videos with xine (not included)
Use Osmo.
Boot my usbpuppy on other computers to check filesystems, check hardware info, remove viruses, create/restore backups, etc.
Impress my friends and more.
nancy reagan wrote:How to install sfs's pup's etc.
SFS's: use bootmanager and reboot. (I'm using 23 SFS's right now in my usb flash drive)
PET's: Oops, I forgot to check if petget works correctly (I don't use it), I will do it later.

Sorry, I can't help you with this 'cause I don't have any wireless device, nor the knowledge about them.

Try to install the latest Dougal's Network Wizard http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=31522 also read this http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 seems that you will need a firmware update.

It is deprecated

WOW,
I'm a bit egoist, I made this puplet just for my needs,. . . .
I would say that you are very modest, not only have your created a great pup, but it's with an updated kernal, and lots if goodies, plus the capability to mount and use both gnome and kde sfs and plenty of eye candy. Also, you are quick to share your knowledge. Yes, modest indeed.

Thanks for sharing,
Jim

This was requested by some users, it's the same pcmanfm-0.5 executable but without the "My Documents" icon on the desktop.

Warning reported by techtype
Using this pcmanfm, if you right click on the desktop - it sends the processor use to %100 and locks up pcmanfm.

EDIT: It'll fail if the swap file is in a vfat partion.

Bug: Can't load or unload swap files in vfat partitions.
Severity: High
Description: This puplet (ver 1.1) is unable to load swap files with the 'swapon' command, no matter its size if they are located in a vfat partition.
There's no problem if you want to use a swap partition or a swap file inside an EXT partition.

Hm, NYP uses the same kernel, and almost the same initrd.gz, and the mesa related xorg-files.
I had no time yet, to copy over other files.
So the error must be in the remaining things you modified.
Maybe you altered settings for HAL?

Thanks so much for your work, it helped me a lot to update NYP to newer libs :!:

try:
dmesg
to see driver related errors.

Must sleep now, else I would investigate this on my own now.
I can try to look at it tomorrow during my course :)

By the way, I reported the swapfile problem on the thread for your first pup.
