gjuhasz: lol, that's even worse .... a working numlock without the light on is bad.
pemasu: yes. I think the kernel panic happens on init and I think I found the cause now - the kernel was named 2.6.35.6-bfs-ck1-dpup-3, I removed the extra string, so it's just 2.6.35.6. I think the init scripts check the kernel version somewhere, I remember something ... maybe init fails because it cannot detect the kernel version properly.
Largely, there are 4 things I want this kernel to have: CPU frequency scaling, Nouveau, Intel drivers with KMS and rfkill. For some reason Barry and playdayz (or 01micko) use a 250Hz frequency and the "performance" CPU frequency governor, which is an overkill to laptops, I switched to 300Hz (better responsiveness for multimedia) and "ondemand".

Iguleder: also was your 2.6.35.6 kernel source patched for squashfs ?
I couldnt find newer patched kernel source than 2.6.34 here: http://bkhome.org/sources/

just a quick note... first time boot, using 007, haven't spent much time in dpup yet but i had seamonkey crash 3 times on me while trying to go into gmail. doesn't freeze, the whole screen just closes. don't know why just reporting what happened to me.

seamonkey -mail now works at dpup-006
006 > seamonkey mail and news is cleaning up my @aim account at the moment . was surprised it didn't asked for password at first setup.
The password was asked for after clicking GetMsgs
Now I want to change the kezboard to qwertz : works fine, had to delete en_US though at xkbconfigmanager but quirky 1.3 was messing the screen that came back switching to Contr+Alt+F2 and immediately back to F4
[EDIT]
Because there are three buttons for the keyboard at the MouseKeyboardWizard:
1.Choose keyboard layout for your country : Switchig from us to de now was blueing/reding the screen here, too; solution same as Quirky
2.Advanced Xorg keyboard configuration : Layout and Layout Variants did the trick
[/EDIT]
huh : 468 messages 21 mb
Numlock seems to work for generic pc keyboards. can switch it, showing green it's numbers and showing no light it's the direction keys.
So it's not NumLock anymore but NumPadOn

I just logged in/out of my gmail account without crash
Karl it doesn't ask for pass in initial setup indeed but once you want to connect to mail account it has option to remember password

Good news, got 2.6.35.6 compiled!
Now I'm doing another build, this time with BFS and some ck1 patches plus modifications. The kernel is very big but it's good
Gonna test it on my netbook, it's supposed to fix the audio problems of all 2010 netbooks

The kernel has nothing to do with the Xorg_High thing. However, if we have KMS it should make things a little bit easier on Intel and nvidia hardware.
The KMS just makes everything happen in native resolution out-of-the-box, under normal conditions the console should be set to your native resolution. Once the kernel boots, you get your native resolution automatically detected.

With rfkill and acpitool you can make dpup really laptop friendly binding function keys to small scripts or commands by using Xbindkeys-config. Suspending to ram: acpitool -s, Wlan on and of with for example wlan.sh. I have copied from fluppy /etc/acpi/* the scripts to my other puppies with rfkill and acpitool.
You can get the laptop for airplane mode for example.
Hibernate: acpitool -S if Iguleder compile 2.6.35.6 kernel hibernate enabled
Also there is dual graphics switching possibility in kernel: switcheroo which would be handy with these new laptops with dual graphics. Need to be also enabled when compiling kernel.

Re: Numlockx debian package
I also have the Debian numlockx installed. The behaviour I have now in Puppy Squeeze : LED is not activated, but the number keys are working. When I hit the numlock key, the LED goes on and the number keys are still active!gjuhasz wrote:I use the debian numlockx package. SeeIguleder wrote:Ummm ... we need to get the numlock thing working. Can anyone make a PET?
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i386 ... x/download
However, it does not turn the numlock LED on. This means that this LED becomes working in reverse mode if you hit the NumLock button.
It is weird. This has been a known bug in Debian
https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+sour ... bug/218202
since Apr 2008
Thanks for the link to the launchpad bug two-year-long..discussion. Erratic and controversial results with numlockx are more than confirmed there.
Someone in that discussion explained numlockx is no longer maintained and doesn't work with recent kernels. It seems Ubuntu - and so Mint also- have found another solution.
Out of curiosity I opened the package manager in Mint Debian and sure enough: numlockx is not installed. but Mint Debian handled the numlock perfectly from the first day I used it.
Hope this can help.

vlc is quite good
libiconv-1.13.1-i486-squeeze.petvlc 1.1.3 (no gui) for squeeze is here
It needs libiconv from here
As you know, DEV and DOC packages are optional.
It compiles just fine without libiconv too, but then OSD and subtitles don't work. Plays variety of formats.
GTK frontend by sc0tman is here:

vlc-1.1.3-i486-squeeze.pet
vlc-gtk-1.8.pet
from dejan555 at page 19 is working quite well somehow equal and perhaps better than gnome-mplayer
raising the volume by pointing to the video window and using the scroll wheel and f-key for toggling fullscreen are some keys I've found out for today . It is a bit much console but for learning and debugging it's OK !
fsck 1.41.12 doesn't ask for confirmation !
# fsck -f -v -n /dev/sdc3
e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Warning! /dev/sdc3 is mounted.

Numlock Pet -
I've spent most of my day getting this working.
Quite a challenge!
This pet enables on/off functionality for those who want Numlock on when X starts - btw you can't turn it off again with the numlock key.
it creates these files....
/root/Startup - the check script - this checks /etc/numlockx.lol - to see whether numlock is enabled/disabled are on or off.
/root/.Xmodmap - which disables numlock key
/usr/share/applications/Numlock_locker.desktop - In Deskop X Setings
/usr/bin/numlockx - the main part
/usr/bin/setleds - turns on/off numlock led
/usr/local/bin/set_numlock - actual gtkdialog script for .desktop file
/etc/numlock.lol - true/false lock file
Testing called for - hope it is of some use to somebody!
Paul
Edit: version 2 uploaded - forgot a couple of libs.
Edit-again: version3 uploaded - this time with the libs under /usr/lib not /usr/libs -- sorry!

I don't know if I need it :
downloaded paulhombus' numlock.pet
renamed it to .tar.gz
there is /usr/libs -path in it and not /usr/lib so I didn't install it
BTW : starting with trying to make a .desktop.pet for pupdial by tgz2pet it extracted to /usr/share/applications but created only empty files even when putting the icon to it. Using dir2pet would I have to create the whole pathes inside this directory and if yes, has this directory be located on "/" ?
