Precise Puppy 5.4 and 5.4.2
z_epdfview_fix_precise-20121106.pet works correctly
Precise Puppy 5.4.0.90 works fine on my Pentium II 266 with 768MB.
Using the frugal mode on a 2GB hard disk.
The 'z_epdfview_fix_precise-20121106.pet' works fine too.
Regards Feodor
Rem. For the ones interested, I have added 'hardinfo _report'. Posting with this 'oldish' system right now.

Tray missing
I am using retroprecise installed on usb and it has been working well until today. Tray is missing except for section with "menu" and "show desktop" icons. System icons in lower right are missing and minimized apps disappear. Tray does not extend across bottom of screen - only displays in lower left corner. Also, yesterday I tried adding panel button with jwm panel button configuring tool, but they never appeared in the tray.
Any suggestions?

I have recompiled glib from original sources and that fixes the module loading problem.akash_rawal wrote: Also gio has problems using modules. It's a glib bug and affects some other distros as well.

Did you include jemimah's patches for media/mnt and the help browser? If so, then it would solve bigpup's issue with the help in all gtk apps.akash_rawal wrote:I have recompiled glib from original sources and that fixes the module loading problem.akash_rawal wrote: Also gio has problems using modules.

What I am reporting is a change in behaviour of the forum.bigpup wrote:From the forum FAQBarryK wrote:I think that John Murga has made changes to the Forum recently. It keeps on logging me out. Anyone else got this problem?Why do I get logged off automatically?
If you do not check the Log me in automatically box when you log in, the board will only keep you logged in for a preset time. This prevents misuse of your account by anyone else. To stay logged in, check the box during login. This is not recommended if you access the board from a shared computer, e.g. library, internet cafe, university cluster, etc.
Sometimes it logs me out only a few minutes after logging in. Even if I am active on the forum.
The previous behaviour was that it would log me out after a certain period of inactivity. I don't recall how long, maybe half an hour. It was a generous period of inactivity.
I used to have this problem with my Telstra mobile broadband connection. I did report the problem to John, but it never got fixed. After I changed to Optus, the problem went away.
Until now, suddenly I have that problem with Optus also.

Do you mean even after installing your PET:akash_rawal wrote:Testing precise 5.4.0.90.
Looks like the session saving problem is solved, I'm unable to reproduce it now.
Problems with gdb and gio modules persist.
I'll continue testing and report back more.

Thanks, libpython2.7 will be in the devx.akash_rawal wrote:Finished downloading precise 5.4. Testing it reveals several problems.
On first boot it refused to save the session. After asking for save file name it rebooted without saving session. Next time I ran wmreboot in terminal but this time it worked properly. Will try again to reproduce the problem.
Display, opengl and internet is working properly. Posting from there now.
In devx gdb doesn't work.Installing libpython2.7_2.7.3-0ubuntu3_i386.deb fixes gdb.Code: Select all

Also gio has problems using modules. It's a glib bug and affects some other distros as well. See here.
Edit: Didn't see precise 5.4.0.90.

Infrastructure mods to facilitate addition of Frisbee
Barry,
Testing of my integrated Frisbee is progressing well. Although I am not ready to submit it for additon to the puppy package library, the infrastructure changes are straightforward and would simplify users' and developers' addition of Frisbee.
Please consider updating woof with the first four packages posted here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 518#662518
The fifth (dhcpcd-dropwait) can also be added to the puppy package library, although substituting it in woof for dhcpcd could benefit connection stability for all network managers.
My main concern, though, is that the woof-resident changes be made, including the addition of a slot for a separate wag_profiles package. Please see the description associated with those packages at the above link. I recognize that it is late in the cycle, but ask for it because it would avoid users needing to modify to puppy infrastructure.

It is too late in the development cycle for Precise 5.4.1. This is almost ready to be released, and anyway the intention was bug-fixes only relative to 5.4.
Infrastructure changes to support Frisbee can be considered after 5.4.1 is released.

Till now abiword is the only program I find with help not working, irrespective of manually compiled glib or precise glib. "Operation not supported" is the warning printed on terminal. Is this problem you are talking about?
But running gdb on abiword reveals it uses its own c++ functions to implement help.

Precise still has module loading problems?
The problem is solved after installing the pet.
there's a bug when installing .deb files. the categories section of the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications gets changed!
this has also been noted by Jejy69 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=81852
for example in the openshot.deb, /usr/share/applications/openshot.desktop looks like this
after installing though it looks like this
same with the deadbeef.deb from to
this is making nearly everything installed from the ppm end up in the 'utility' menu

Re: Infrastructure mods to facilitate addition of Frisbee
Right. The goal is to get the implementation into the woof structure for all puppies, not precise 5.4.1. Thanks for clarifying that for me.BarryK wrote:Richard,

Glade interface designer doesn't work.
Instead of adding gtk3 maybe it would be better to provide glade separately, as gtk3 could be large?

Help with finding BlueGriffon
Maybe I belong in the beginners forum, but I hope not. BlueGriffon is a wysiwyg website builder I'd like to try. It's popular so I expected it to be found with PPM --but nothing available. I appreciate any & all help.
** FREE CONCERT:
I'm discovering this puppy is excellent with multimedia. If anyone wants to hear Bob Dylan's (live & great) concert from last month at the Hollywood Bowl, here's the link from a DJ that I Twitter follow.

I'll try again
This latest version of precise does not recognize my audio chip. I tried all the steps...what information to I need to post to allow someone to either tell me how to fix the problem, or not to continue the effort.
Thanks

To save you the hunt I've attached the glib patch I use in Slacko-beta series based on slackware-14.0. This is based directly on jemimah's work.
