Lucid Puppy 5.2.7 RC2
Luci-268 Test
Manual frugal install to fat32 USB2 stick – syslinux boot.
No issues found. Slideshow of tests can be found here:
http://megaswf.com/serve/1157285
This is a superb effort and a worthy tribute to all the developers.
If I were Bill Gates I would be mighty worried at this rate of progress.
Many thanks to all involved.

Frugal installation on a Dell Dimension to check out wireless operation. Everything works well and Frisbee makes the wireless connection after installing a proper Realtek driver.
Problem I reported above on my main hardware with Burniso2cd did not occur on the Dell system.
Cheers,
Jim

Don't get me wrong. I am not asking to do any of the work, just to advise me on which items I need to deal with. I just need to know where people notice something they expect should not be there after an upgrade. I should be able to take it from there.Sage wrote:Oooh! Well outside my comfort zone, would need a lot of hand-holding and some other guys peering over my shoulder for when I do stupid things. Build you a dozen PCs in 20mins instead?This is something I would like to work on, but would require your assistance
Let's see if there would be a quorum...

No problems so far. Been testing items that this version should correct.
Can confirm Dillo likes to talk to xerrs.log a lot.

fix for dillo's excessive logging
playdayz, et al,
In response to the complaint that dillo logs excessively, I investigated the situation. Although dillo logs a significant number of startup messages, the real problem is the thousands of messages of this sort:
I discovered that there is a new version of dillo out there, 2.2.1, so I compiled and massaged it into a dotpet package. After much testing, the results look good. The new version does put out more "progress" messages. but not the runaway messages. This is from starting dillo and going to puppylinux.com, then exiting.The "Capi_filters_test" messages seem new. But these can be handled. The dillorc configuration file has the following option, which I have set to suppress the messages.That is in ~/.dillo. The system-wide/default version of the file is now in /usr/local/etc/dillo (instead of /etc/dillo) because that's where dillo now expects it. That copy does not have the option set, but is overridden by the ~/.dillo copy. (The option does not suppress the runaway messages in dillo 2.2.)
The attached package can be tried by our testers and is uninstallable. The files in the now-unused /etc/dillo directory are replaced by null files. But if this new dillo version is merged into lupu, the /etc/dillo directory should be deleted entirely. I hope many will try it, so as to flush out any issues with it.
It's been a fun day, doing this.
Richard
EDIT: I have withdrawn the package temporarily. It works only for html pages, but should support other file types. The replacement is now further down this page..

thinkpad t43 luci 268
created luci 268 iso from lupu 526 iso then copied over the three 268 luci files to my test folder and renamed my lupu saves to luci saves and put them in the test folder and rebooted my thinkpad t43 (yeah I know prob wrong procedure) but everything is ship shape as far as I can tell so far....also saw over 5000 fps in glx gears I have never seen more than 3200 fps on this machine before! ..good work.....
my vote is nay to Frisbee
I had a bad experience with Frisbee, which I described while posting laptop001x.pet
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 279#550279
which is pemasu's laptop001.pet with the Frisbee yanked away from it. Not sure if you're using some way-better, updated version (apologies for not having been able to test this latest 268 yet) but I just wanted to chime in with that PoV.
Cheers.

Thanks for trying the new dillo and reporting the problem. I guess compiling and making the pet were the easy parts. This may take awhile sort out. Any help from those familiar with dillo's workings would be very welcome.bigpup wrote:Luci268

pupradio-0.11 should address some issues. All stations/channels are tested working here in mplayer and gnome-mplayer. There is some output to xerrs.log but certainly much less!

I am wondering about something
All of this "Oh No" it is writing stuff to xerrs.log!
Is it bringing to light some defects in the program code?
Are fixes making programs work better?
Seems it would, but do not really know.

dillo replacement redux
I have rebuilt dillo using "configure" arguments to place the components into the standard puppy directories.The only manual actions I took were to (1) convert the man page to html, using the "man2html" tool and (2) copy the dillorc configuration file into the hidden root directory, .dillo and adding the line, "show_msg=NO", to suppress the logged messages.
Everyone, please replace the earlier dotpet package with the attached package and try it out. Thank you.

Hi bigpup
xerrs.log records anything from standard out (stdout) and standard error (stderr). Those messages from mplayer were actually "normal" messages, however, conceivably, they could have been damaging to a small pupsave.
Messages in there are not necessarily a bad thing, often they are helpful in debugging or even letting you know that something is working ok, also not all errors are particularly bad.
One thing I have noticed is that if you run things in a terminal they don't get printed to xerrs.log, just straight to the terminal, which makes sense.
All in all, this little adventure has made pupradio a better app.

Audio CD playback on PUP268

jim1911, I tested this from your previous report and could not get it to happen. What happens if you use pburn instead? Does your system see the drive if there is a cd in it instead of a dvd?I reported earlier the same problem with 526. Trying to use Burniso2cd, when OK is pressed, the Usage for xdialog screen instead of the proper screen appears. Before, when this happened I had not created a save file and after creating a save file it operated as it should. This time it happened with a save file.
Audio CD playback on PUP268
gcmartin
Luci-268 contains version 1.0.4. See first post in this thread which indicates that it should have been reverted.Running PUP268. Audio "woof-woof" is fine.
Created an Audio CD from some personal MP3s using Pburn
In playback of the CD on PUP268 using GNOME MPlayer, I'm getting audio for 15 seconds with a 10 second pause, constantly.
There is NO other system activity
The stuttering you experienced is due to gnome-mplayer ignoring the audio cache setting and failing to instruct mplayer to set up an adequate cache - say 2000kb depending on latency. Worse than that if you edit mplayer.conf to use an audio cache gnome still overrides it. SMplayer is a better bet as it is far more configurable.526RC gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplyer <- 1.0.3 (reversion) Beem
