PPM cursor
PPM cursor
Hi Barry
Puppy Package Manager when no package found
The cursor shows when over the desktop,
then disappears behind the main PPM window,
then shows again if you hit the
"Sorry, no matching package name" red dialog.
Ahhh! switching back to PPM from Seamonkey after copying the text in the red dialog without closing the dialog, the whole PPM window is blank. If I move it out of the way I can see the red dialog, click "okay" then PPM window displays.
Is it possible to have <return> trigger the "okay" as well as the mouse?

Everything tested is working satisfactorily after upgrade from 504. Locale settings are now saved correctly on upgrade except LC_COLLATE for reason I described on BK's blog. However, the LC_COLLATE=en_US setting does not seem to break anything in the way that some other locale settings did.
Thanks for another great version.

I tried to update using Delta files:

e0ef5673eccd5ef4ee13cfd717cc48ba wary_devx_504.sfs

f8fd6251b6aa02a4aa7770b0765c1ce0 wary_devx_500.sfs___wary_devx_510.sfs.delta
Got the following in both cases:
"ERROR! failed to recreate the new file. Error message:
xdelta3: target window checksum mismatch: XD3_INVALID_INPUT
okay"
P.S. All 4 checksums verified

I have been trying to revitalize my old IBM ThinkPad A21m (Pentium III - 750 MHz, 128 MHz ram).
This machine will run Puppy 4.2.0 and Puppy 4.3.1 with the 2.6.21.7 kernel, but hangs on a frugal install of Wary 5.1 k2.6.31.14 after the first two lines following "Booting command list:"
Here is the grub entry with the same configuration that works on Puppy 4.3.1:
Is there any thing that I can try to get Wary 5.1 to boot?

distro.ibiblio.org/ looks down from here.
Used Wary-510-k2.6.31.14-uniproc-ide.iso to make a CD-RW.
[The more up-to-date kernel wouldn't boot on my 2003 desktop PC]
FEATURE:
1. I notice that this Wary searches deeper than where the pupsave files are located [In case there might be more?]
BUG?
1. It lists TWO of everything it finds.
i.e. If there are 2 pupsave files; one on the HDD and one on a Flash Drive, it lists them as items 1 and 2, then lists them again as 3 and 4.

Got the same situation with a humongous initrd.gz netbooting, otherwise everything I've tried has worked well. Didn't get it when booting from frugal.Sylvander wrote:BUG?

...er, we seem to have a crisis situation, this is the only mirror that I can find with Wary 5.1. Unfortunately nluug.nl has dropped hosting all Puppy files.
We are going to have to lobby other ibiblio mirror sites to host Wary/Quirky. Or, find other hosts.

Aaaaargh! Somehow I left out Jimtcl. This is a PET package needed if you want to use a 3G modem.
Wary 5.1 users, please install this PET:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... l-0.63.pet
Looks like there is going to have to be another bugfix release soon.

Wary 5.1 uni-processor on old PC. 3G-modem autodetection pet
Wary-5.1 uni-processor works really great on AMD-K6-3D 333 MHz 256 Mb RAM. I only had to replace mplayer. On another PC (Celleron 900 MHz 512 Mb RAM) it works OK but X-server crashed once. Don't know the reason.
DdShurick from russian Puppy team have created 3g-modem auto-detection package. When you plug in 3g-modem - icon appears on the desktop. When you click on it - modem connects to the net and the icon changes. When you click on it again - modem disconnects from the net. No settings needed. We believe that APN is stored in modem and it is not needed to enter it each time. There is apn sript to check stored APN. Just enter in console. And enter (or your APN) to put APN into modem. I have adapted the package for Wary. Tested on Huawei E1550, should work on ZTE MF100 and others. (For this version modem should be without pin-code).

Uniprocessor version doesn't suffer from the extended load-module
count when booting, but has so much else added to boot script
that the boot is still slowed.
Right click rox icon problem seems fixed in this one.
