The slickpet icon bug is fixed. It was a miss naming of the icon, not compatible with the orange icons, but affecting all sets.JonT wrote:Yet another Brookdale (rev 03) report. My chip versions just might be the nastiest. I admire your tenacity in trying to make these chips/drivers behave. Please note that I am not complaining; the retro kernel versions satisfy my modest needs but it is fun to try the new puppies. For the newer kernels, including slacko, I get a desktop for about 50% of boots but fortunately X restarts reliably. "Intel" and "vesa" drivers work. If it boots, it works well. Wireless with ath5k driver and SNS is fine.
Manual frugal install, booted pfix=ram, installed netpbm-10.34-w5.pet.
Just a couple of items for "polish" ... It appears that the FlatOrange theme needs a "qp-icon.png", for the slickpet icon, not an svg version to be copied into the pixmaps folder. (Guessing here, I don't really know how it is supposed to work, but making a qp-icon.png works.)
Once the FlatOrange icons are chosen, the folder icons in several folders (e.g. / and /usr don't get updated when a different icon set is chosen. Perhaps the netpbm pet isn't quite right?
The min/max speed settings for my synaptics touchpad continue to be set to about 3/10, about a factor of ten higher than with other puppies.
As for the folders, I think that issue has been around for a long time, just no one has reported it. An X restart will fix it.
I'll recompile synaptics again.. this is a big problem.
Thanks
EDIT: ok, synaptics xorg driver is recompiled, latest version
You will at least need an X restart, a reboot wouldn't hurt

petget freeze
Petget freezes at installing any pets under PUPMODE=13(flash).
It freezes at line 230 in installpkg.sh:
Slacko alpha and also beta 1.

Not sure if the fix mentioned in the comments was implemented?James C wrote:Must just be some hardware that doesn't like Linux........tried Mageia, ps/2 mouse is a no go there too.But naturally,no problem in XP.

I am using a joint PS/2 and usb mouse connector. If the PS/2 does not work I switch to USB. PS/2 has been working OK in Slacko for me.
Glad to hear it working OK on your
Micky mouse operating system
Hope we can get it working . . .

Just a heads up- This version of Seamonkey-2.3 will not work in two headed dog, three headed dog or 528 final. Several missing libraries.01micko wrote:seamonkey-2.3

FYI

refering to yesterdays's message http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... &start=142
I confirm your comments about folder icon mismatching and its presence in other puppies.
The xf86-input-synaptics-xf86-input-synaptics-1.499.1-i486.pet of Aug 19 did not fix my synaptics touchpad behavior and introduced more serious problems, likely a minor fix for you. I will PM you some diagnostics.
Thanks!

pupdial password
I can't enter password in pupdial. Got online using pppd-scripts.
Dave, I may have made a booboo, type libxcb* in PPM searchbox, I did see the behaviour and now it's gone. You got mesa installed?DaveS wrote:Ah Ah... same flashy flashy stuff01micko wrote:Dave .. you can retrofit
Go to PPM and type "xcb*" in the search box, then choose xcb-utils, restart X when complete, it's only a small lib
Actually , my radeon was rendering like absolute garbage without the libs, added libs, improvement, added mesa, more improvement, added fglrx driver, perfect rendereing.
On my Brookdale, despite the problems, once they were overcome the rendering was perfect ootb.

aarf, I haven't had a problem with my wireless usb modem.. that's what you meant eh? Or are you mobile phone or wireless network?

rodin.s, it may be latest gtkdialog, I noticed too, closed pupdial, reopened and it was ok,.. NO, just checked, seems Password entry is broken, ok time to rewrite Pudial.. it's awful on small screens, this has been on my todo list for a long time.
EDIT: Actually, you can enter the password, but just can't see it! Will explore new syntax.

JonT, I'll remove that attachment and confiscate my son's laptop! (at least for today)

I have pupmode 13 on my eee pc and I can install pets ok, I can too on my problematic Brookdale machine with broken CD, so easiest way to test is with usb install from stick, 13. I'll do further tests. I see you mention the code, can you suggest alternative code?

Tried that... made no difference. I dont have Mesa installed, just generic Intel laptop built in graphics. Actually, the rendering is excellent. There is just something very strange going on between X and Rox. Have never seen this behavior in a Puppy before. It only happens if I move a file between two windows or move a desktop icon. In all other situations, including dragging windows around, the rendering is dead stable.

mave.. on the todo list, however many from wary/lupq will work. There are NLS files for major progs in PPM

onto Pupdial,
I have shrank it and fixed syntax errors, it now fits on my eee screen res, 800x480, though the "CHOOSE" GUI (modem test, delete etc) looks atrocious on the eee
Note the error rodin.s was getting is the expected behaviour according to the gtkdialog examples.. . However there is a proper way discovered by jemimah.. ..and in Frisbee, (yes I'll get to that).(Update, no, I think Dougal was using that and HairyWill)
I have only hacked the gtkdialog code, I'm 99.9% certain I haven't altered any underlying pupdial code.
Test reports please.

EDIT.. ok, I fixed the CHOSE thing, simple notebook, according to xwininfo it should fit snuggly on the eee screen.

It seems hardware specific...
My 2 PCs freeze but another 1 PC is no problem.
The freezing 2 PCs are intel X38 and intel P45, both have Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX, and may have marvel ide bridge.
