Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.1.10.3 SMP multicore optimized version
mikeslr. You could try with KMS enabled: /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf change 0 to 1. And restart X.
About ROX-Filer bug. I think that this compile has done it. I have tested Karl Godts compile which allows columns location changes by dragging. But the focus bug is back, it seems. I have noticed it also. Not sure if it is due to ROX-Filer per se. It is possible that the gtk 2.20.1 with debian has that bug still. It should have been partially fixed but I am not so sure....
About Firewall in tray. I havent included it. I wonder what you have tried to activate in tray. You find firewall from the menu > network. It creates the /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall. How do you know that it is not activated ?
You can install Tasmods great firewall tray app. It is found from this forum.
Also there is in /etc/init.d Iguleders firewall script. Just change the properties for executions and it will be launched at every boot.
I have restricted somewhat tray app selection. Each tray app hogs ram about 5-6 Mb.
I believe your X problems would be relieved by compiling ATI proprietary driver.
Frequency changer does not work absolutely correct. I get though selection of right choices also. There is also cpu freq tray app ppower, made by Iguleder, have you tried it.
Frisbee and SNS interferes each other for some users. For me also sometimes. There is in menu Frisbee manager to disable or enable Frisbee. Reboot is needed before the dhcpcd is released or do it in console. I have played with dhcpcd console command and been succesful...sometimes.

Thanks Pemasu for Suggestions
Hi pemasu,
Thank you pemasu for the suggestions. I'll try them when I get back to my desktop. I had installed a firewall tray app. I guess tasmod's. It was on my hard drive. Exploring various Pups as they evolve, I download and save pets I may want to re-use. My desktop has 4 Gb or RAM; my Thinkpad T42, 2 Gb. So I only worry about RAM-usage if I think about installing to an Asus 701sd, or my wife's old Dell desktop or laptop.
Don't feel too sorry for my wife: she's moved on to a shiny new Toshiba Laptop I had mistakenly recommended. Only after making various revisions + app additions to render its Window 7 functional did I discover that Toshiba's don't play well with Linux. Every Linux distro I've tried lacks support for its audio. Your puplets, by the way, are the only ones which recognize its builtin wireless. Oh well, she really doesn't want me to play with it anyway.
Note to single readers contemplating marriage or other long term relationships: "Only Children" have difficulty sharing with others.

pemasu,
Found something to show the vidio problem in 5x10.2. you mentioned you have similar video so could test if you like.
Lucid 528 with xorg_high and mesa playing sdl-ball, it's in both debian and ubuntu main repo. Plays perfect in 528 but not in 5x10.2 it halts skips and drops frames.
That is playing from the same intel chip set you have my system info on. hope that helps.

Took some time to install all sdl stuff and other dependencies. I used Iguleders compiled sdl stuff.
The sdl-game works ok for me. No strange ball or tiles behavior. I wasnt very good, but....I dont play games. My sons do that enough, lol. Anyways the ball movements, tiles dropping was without any jerkiness or other weird...
For me the ball could have moved more slowly in fact, lol.

must be something on my end just accepting the dependencies and a reboot was all needed for it to run and running from the console showed no messages.pemasu wrote:Took some time to install all sdl stuff and other dependencies. I used Iguleders compiled sdl stuff.

looks like it's cheating to me so can't hit the thing. will keep up the research.
Hi pemasu
JFYI - Dpup Exprimo 5.X.10.2 SMP multicore optimized version
is running fine on my 10yr old Acer TravelMate 243LC laptop.
Manual frugal install to ext3 sda2 and with a 800mb swap partition.
256mb ram, 2.5Ghz Celeron Proc, booting via grub4dos and wifi via
pcmcia Belkin card.
All the basic's seem to work and it is really fast.
Have not tried FFox yet as it is usually a bit of a resouce hog,
but Opera12-alpha seems to be quite stable and fast.
Will try FFox but not before running QtWeb - also normally fast and friendly.
Frisbee - for me works extremely well and is also very fast to setup - nice.
I like your puppy's very much and always look forward to seeing what
you have been doing.
Thanks again for yet another outstanding Puppy.
Very best regards - Ray

Installation of 5.X.10.2 and 2 barks.
Wow, I can't turn my back for 2 minutes en there is another release.pemasu wrote:Dpup Exprimo 5.X.10.2 has been uploaded. This is bug fix release using latest 10.11 woof.
Download link: http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/DpupSque ... o5X102SMP/
Installed the usual FRUGAL Lin'N'Win
Activated my application environment and all seem to work.
I have a single processor and this SMP version seems to work ok. Even quite snappy in e17.
The clock issue seems to be resolved. Clock indicates the correct time.
Also the bootmanager issue is solved. I can see now my 50+ sfs files in the list.
But I don't have the 2 barks anymore at boot.
In fact I had this in the 5.X.10 already, but never reported.

Missing 2 barks is catastrophe. I checked the the delayedrun script. I had hacked it wrongly. The part which checks the first run was not ended when it calls 2 barks. Now that part ends correctly and aplay /usr/share/audio/2barks.au & will be executed.
The pet has been removed for re-evaluation.

There is a side effect.
The iSystray is empty now.
After removing the hack, iSystray is ok again.

Ok. It seems the pet had wrong version in it, I had several delayedrun scripts open. Wrong version got in. It had couple of extra fi fi commands in it which broke the script.
Now the reuploaded delayedrun-bark-fix pet is available here.

Firefox dfault
To prevent the savefile filled up, i hope the firefox default that is the prefs.js:
Limit the cache size.
Next to prevent a large stock of URLs in places.sqlite.
See also the article, Keep your savefile slim and healthy:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=62110
Limit the cache size.
Code: Select all
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.capacity", 4096);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.smart_size.first_run", false);
Code: Select all
user_pref("browser.safebrowsing.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled", false);

Geany defaults
I hope the geany default that is /root/.config/geany/geany.conf:
Comments:
Code: Select all
[geany]
pref_editor_default_new_encoding=UTF-8
editor_font=Monospace 13
show_linenumber_margin=true
geometry=24;24;600;420;0;
sidebar_visible=false
msgwindow_visible=false
- UTF-8 is requiered to save non-asci characters. It is harmless for asci.
- Monospace 14 font cannot show underbar(_). Monospace 13 is OK.
- I like to show the line number.
- The geometry above is for 640x480 screen. It may be larger for 800x600 screen.
Code: Select all
[tools]
make_cmd=/usr/bin/make
term_cmd=/usr/bin/xterm -e bash -c
browser_cmd=/usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser
print_cmd=/usr/bin/lpr %f
grep_cmd=/bin/grep

Shinobar:
Here is what I have had in Snow Puppies, Polarpuppies:
Looks same what you have suggested. I have updated that section in geany.conf.
I also updated your other suggestions. Some of them was already like you suggested. Reasonable suggestions. Geometry for example was too large in my geany.conf.
About Firefox. If there is possiblility to include those defaults to the /usr/lib/firefox folder as system wide defaults, that would be great. To create /root/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxx.default folder means several Mb`s of extra weight. Not reasonable if person wants to use other browser. Then...why would include Firefox to the build could be counterargument. No comments to that. It was my choice.
I have included FireFtp and Flashblock as system wide .xpi extensions. Not by using /root/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxx.default folder.
I checked your thread about Firefox tuning to preserve savefile. Great suggestions. I wholeheartedly agree with them. I usually just delete /root/.mozilla/firefox and start from fresh board again.
