Hello, Mr. Kauler.
No problems here! Writing this in Opera 12.13 from wary 5.4.90 with enhanced Xorg. My screen has never been this nice. French localization takes a little convincing (5-6 Xorg re-initialisations plus a couple of reboots !) but it does work fine when it finally start.
So, many thanks for this. And "bonne continuation"!

latest woof download in racy wrong
@BarryK
Sorry, in the latest racy 5.4.91 and with no additional packages yet added, not even a jwm update, and on a box with an intel i915 video. I am getting some display problems.
This is with a fresh woof build of 25 Feb.
I have attached a screeny capture example for comments and sugestions. All Woof pages are showing the same problem and won't resize smaller.
However I'm not sure if it's racy or woof having the problems.
All comments would be appreciated.

Manual frugal install of the latest Quirky.Just like Racy I had to copy the xorg.conf from another install to get the correct resolution and since it's the same kernel can't mount a flash drive.
Most interesting is that Quirky only seems to boot about 1 time out of three attempts..... the bootloader finds the kernel.qky and all activity ceases.Hard poweroff and eventually it'll go ahead and boot.

Racy-5.4.91
Racy-5.4.91
This is one 'Blazing-Fast' Puppy, I keep thinking they can't get any faster but 'this one did!'
Did an UPDATE to Racy-5.2.90 to see how well it would go.
Everything went well except for the usual few Icon drops from personal desktop programs and of course the background pic.

WiFi stayed without issue:
Linksys AE1000 (usb plugin - using rt2800usb)
-----------------------------------------------------
Already had a lot of programs installed in 5.2.90 and they all worked as before!
-----------------------------------------------------
The 3.8.0 Kernel appears to be working just fine on this old box.
-----------------------------------------------------
Internet Graphics & Picture display just don't get any better, crystal clear and coloring as it should be, even in Mplayer
-----------------------------------------------------
USB plugins working fine, even my VADO camcorder/camera.

Re: Recent ffmpeg PETs
Thanks very much for that clarification!npierce wrote:Yes.BarryK wrote:Note, Wary 5.5RC has ffmpeg 'ffmpeg-0.8.12-1-w5c.pet'.
Wary 5.3 has 'ffmpeg-20111002-w5c.pet'
If I recall rightly, the original ffmpeg lacked network support, and someone, it might have been shinobar, recompiled it, hence the different PET in 5.5RC.
Yes.OscarTalks wrote:You are correct, the original had network disabled, I believe you uploaded a re-compile yourself and the 0.8.12 was from shinobar a little later.
Barry, you recompiled ffmpeg in March to add network support and gave it the "dash one" name (ffmpeg-20111002-1-w5c.pet). This you included in RC1 of Wary 5.3. But then someone reported that the new version didn't support x11grab, and you asked that person to try the old version (ffmpeg-20111002-w5c.pet). You never got a reply, so to be safe, you reverted to the old version for RC2, RC3, and the final Wary 5.3.
As it turned out, the old version didn't support x11grab either. Both versions should have, since you had compiled with --enable-x11grab, but because of a bug in ffmpeg's configure script (since reportedly fixed), the configure script reported no error despite not finding a needed library.
Anyway, in July shinobar recompiled ffmpeg again giving us ffmpeg-0.8.12-1, which has both x11grab and network support, and you uploaded it to the Wary repo.
used in Wary 5.2.2:
ffmpeg-20111002-w5c.pet 2011-Oct-02
used in Wary 5.3 RC1:
ffmpeg-20111002-1-w5c.pet 2012-Mar-17
used in Wary 5.3 RC2, RC3, Final:
ffmpeg-20111002-w5c.pet 2011-Oct-02
used in Wary 5.5 RC1:
ffmpeg-0.8.12-1-w5c.pet 2012-Jul-30
By the way, it's great to see a new Racy!

My memory can be rather hazy. It's not that I'm getting old, I have always had hazy recall. As a boy, my dad used to tell that I would forget my head if it wasn't screwed on.
I am wondering if any issues are due to the 3.8 kernel. Especially video.
I have decided that Racy 5.5RC2 will have the 3.0.66 kernel. This is a continuation of the 3.0.x used in Racy 5.3. ...um, it might have been 3.0.27.

Racy (and Quirky) OK, Wary not so good
I just gave Racy, Quirky, and Wary a quick frugal install on a Dell D430 laptop with a B43 wireless chipset.
Racy and Quirky both seem to work equally well with absolutely no issues so far. Solid as usual.
Wary, on the other hand, has a really annoying issue with SeaMonkey. Scrolling is not smooth and fluid like in Racy and Quirky; it seems to "stutter". Also, there's a small but perceptible lag when switching tabs when compared with Racy.
My main distro on this laptop is Puppy Precise 5.4.3, which also has no issues. I just tried Wary 5.3 and it also seems to stutter in SeaMonkey, so this may not be a new problem. I'm 99% sure Wary 5.2.2 was OK, but I don't have the ISO handy to give it a try right now.
Did something change in Wary SeaMonkey between 5.2.2 and 5.3, or could this be a system-related problem?

Kernel modules do not get stripped, not that I know of anyway.OscarTalks wrote:The tg3 ethernet driver module does not work with my Broadcom NetLink 57788 (and some others, so I am told).
I downloaded the latest driver tarball from http://www.broadcom.com/support/etherne ... nk_k57.php and compiled it.
It works for me and I will attach it but I expect you will wish to compile your own.
I notice those *.ko drivers in that directory are not stripped so I didn't strip this one. Do we know if they are best left not stripped?
Thanks for that update, I have replaced the tg3 module with yours in the kernel pet package.

It seems that I have a problem with remasterpup2.
Just after validated in this window, the attached message is displayed:
Cordialement
I cannot reproduce this problem. I changed to de_DE.UTF-8, but it still worked.
After the first window, there is a "Please wait" window, then another window with a menu-list of partitions to choose a working partition.
You are crashing before that.
Do you get the "Please wait" window before the crash?
Have you run 'remasterpup2' from a terminal to see if there are any more error messages?
After it has crashed, you will find a file '/tmp/savedlg' -- please gzip that and post it here. That should tell us why the Xdialog is crashing.

Edited 2013/03/01: This post was generated without knowing that the RACY distro has changed from itsoriginal PAE offering to a non-PAE distro. I missed that announcement from Barry and had assumed his traditional meaning where WARY being a non-PAE and RACY was the PAE version of the same products within the 2 distros.
Today, BOTH Wary and Racy are non-PAE versions
The following information below ONLY applies to the old RACY versions of 5.4.x back to RACY's original release.
even though there remains confusion with some of the Puppy (and Linux too) community, RACY is design in such a way that it is expected to run on 99% of the world computers which has from 384MB RAM (this is from ONLY my own past testing and is NOT BARRY's or anyone else's RAM recommendation) all the way to as much RAM you could possible add to your computer. There are some computers in the world that do not have the 32bit hardware feature to use the RACY (or any PAE aware distro). This mean that for as long as you run your 32bit PC no matter how much ran you have or install while you run PAE Pups, it will recognized and make effective use of all RAM to suit your system needs.
WARY and non-PAE PUPs will run equally as well, but, it cannot reach more than 3.5GB of RAM for your needs.. PAE has no such limitation. It will use all that it finds for all of your system uses.
PAE has been a feature of 32bit PCs since 1995..
This is merely presented for understanding as many may not necessarily be aware and thus confusion could result because the 2 look so much alike at the desktop level. But, under the hood there's "rrr...." for your benefit (assuming your PC is one of most of all desktop/laptops made.). IFF not, just understand that Puppyland has addressed NON-PAE as well. WARY is non-PAE and RACY is PAE, hence, its name (which probably resulted from findings that members in Puppyland discovered when surfacing this missing component)

It's simple to install the languages that you use as pet packages...

Re: Racy-5.4.91
Since Racy 5.4.9.1 is non-pae the meaning of your post is........?gcmartin wrote:Hello everyone. even though there remains confusion with some of the Puppy (and Linux too) community, RACY is design in such a way that it is expected to run on 99% of the world computers which has from 384MB RAM (this is from ONLY my own past testing and is NOT BARRY's or anyone else's RAM recommendation) all the way to as much RAM you could possible add to your computer. There are some computers in the world that do not have the 32bit hardware feature to use the RACY (or any PAE aware distro). This mean that for as long as you run your 32bit PC no matter how much ran you have or install while you run PAE Pups, it will recognized and make effective use of all RAM to suit your system needs.sszindian wrote:Racy-5.4.91...
Just had to try it on my old...
IBM T22 Thinkpad
P3
512MB RAM
20GB HDD
The new Racy-5.4.91 performs just beautiful on it!!! looks like this old notebook will be around for at least a few more years yet

WARY and non-PAE PUPs will run equally as well, but, it cannot reach more than 3.5GB of RAM for your needs.. PAE has no such limitation. It will use all that it finds for all of your system uses.
PAE has been a feature of 32bit PCs since 1995..
This is merely presented for understanding as many may not necessarily be aware and thus confusion could result because the 2 look so much alike at the desktop level. But, under the hood there's "rrr...." for your benefit (assuming your PC is one of most of all desktop/laptops made.). IFF not, just understand that Puppyland has addressed NON-PAE as well. WARY is non-PAE and RACY is PAE, hence, its name (which probably resulted from findings that members in Puppyland discovered when surfacing this missing component)
Here to help
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/test/r ... readme.htmRacy 5.5RC has the 3.8.0 Linux kernel, configured without PAE support (so only accesses first 4MB of RAM), and for a i586 CPU. It also has 'f2fs' (Flash Friendly File System) support, which is the main reason I was keen to use the 3.8 kernel.
Racy booted into vesa
I put the following section into /etc/X11/xorg.conf
(I copied these lines from another Puppy)
I restarted Xwindows and the computer now used the 'nouveau' driver.
I could have also used the 'xorgwizard' as well.
But I found that I couldn't use the 'nv' driver. Apparently it
won't be supported by this advanced kernel???

'nv' is supported, but is disabled by default, unless you use the xorgwizard.don570 wrote:Racy booted into vesa

I do need to take a fresh look at this, but unfortunately it is going to take a lot of messing around, and I will have to setup my PCs, that are currently stored in a garage.
Will have to do that as a project after Racy/Wary 5.5 is released.
