Dpup Wheezy. Woof-CE built debian wheezy 7.2 packages used
Hello Pemasu,
Thanks for the new Wheezy version. When I boot to ram, there are no issues so far. No problem with zdrv (renamed) . But, when I accept the offer to update my savefile from 3.5.2.7, it boots to quick start, but both mouse and keyboard are frozen. This may be peculiar to my laptop, but I thought I should report it. [Lenovo S12 netbook, VIA Nano processor, manual frugal install on HD, pupmode 13]

Updated a test USB drive with a copy of my 3.5.2.7 to 3.5.2.8 and found the following problems:
On my dell d830 laptop, dual core2, the temperature readings are 30c greater than what it usually runs at, when idle.
The TempIcon utility you provided now 'flashes' at what seems 30 frames/sec, and is annoying.
Using htop, it showed the TempIcon running at 100% cpu utilization, that explains the high temps.
Killed it and now the fan is slowing down to nil.
The 3.5.2.7 save file updated to 3.5.2.8, the desktop reverted back to the original but I guess that's to be expected.
The installed applications (Chrom, Firefox, ...) were still intact, I just needed to redo my desktop icons to as before.
Since the kernel and GLIBC are the same as 3.5.2.7, I see no need to update my production machines.

Satori. That tempicon pet seems like incompatible with jwm-876....or it might be incompatible with something else also. Just my hunch.
When I installed the pet, the temp icon in tray flashes for me also....and my laptop temp starts rising and fan starts whirring.
That 01mickos`s tempicon is not only incompatible, it is also the reason of hotter laptop.
Hmmm....if this winter will be cold in Finland, I can just install that tempicon pet, start tempicon tray app and I can warm my bedroom with laptop. Great !!!

Dpup Wheezy. Woof2 built debian wheezy packages based Puppy
I did another manual frugal install to my emachines d620 laptop.
I installed guvcview in ppm but it was missing one library which I got
at packages.debian.org
The webcam is working now.
Remove the gz from the filename.
EDIT:
I moved from the emachines laptop to a gateway desktop.

Wheezy runs okay on the 2 single core computers that I tested it on
but it runs much faster on dual core and up so that's what I'll use it
on.

Well.. I did some debugging and it's the icons! I made a test program, just a super simple status icon with 1 of the temperature icons and the behaviour is reproduced.

Updated Debian 7: 7.2 released
October 12th, 2013
The Debian project is pleased to announce the second update of its stable distribution Debian 7 (codename "wheezy"). This update mainly adds corrections for security problems to the stable release, along with a few adjustments for serious problems. Security advisories were already published separately and are referenced where available.>>http://www.debian.org/News/2013/20131012
among many other things, they have addressed this one in the update:
http://packages.debian.org/search?searc ... lm-sensors
Any relevance to the problem?

My build used fresh debian wheezy packages. The release statement of packages:
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/ ... 86/Release
Archive: stable
Origin: Debian
Label: Debian
Version: 7.2
Component: main
Architecture: i386
The packages should be from Debian 7.2. So I should have included updated packages in use.

Recently Joe introduced to JWM the ability for non square icons to show as rectangles in the system tray. I suspect it's ok for xpm, png, jpeg but for svg it's broken. I placed an issue on Joe's github page with a link to my above test program. He'll figure it out and at least let me know if it's my fault..
EDIT: fixed now with square (instead of rectangular) icons <-- http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 387#738387

Hi,
here using wine on puppy and currently wheezy for 4 years with full satisfaction
locating wine ...download here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=53675
better is to use the latest version (although mine is 1.1.20 ... ...yes! some old ms compatible apps work better on that earlier wine version)
Cheers, charlie

Hi Pemasu,
tons of thanks having upgraded wheezy...! ... and also glad to read from you !
BTW any idea on how to use the "psave" parameter in order to set the grub boot parameters to start on the pupsave ..oops sorry...the wheezysave-XXX specified after that parameter in /boot/grub/menu.lst?
Digging into initrd.gz, I did not find any psave parameter in the init script.
I have opened a thread on that question here...
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=90255
i suspect it has something to do with the DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX in the FINDING PUPPY FILES section of init script ... (...i should have to spent months to learn script writing before solving that question... )
thanks for any idea
charlie

Nice distro.
Is it possible to put open box/ tint 2 on this, or is it strictly jwm?
I tried, but it goes to the modprobe screen and will only work as xwin jwm.
Just wondering generally, does the package manager update, for instance if there was a new wine or qtractor would that appear in the package manager? I usually just do this with pets, but was looking at the puppy package manager (offline ).

Charlie6. I think that there isnt any 'psave' functionality in init script. I find no reference into it when I searched through init script. I think that you are on your own with 'psave' functionality. As you probably noticed pupsaves are recognized with PUPSAVE references...and there is a lot of them to create functionality in different situations. But no 'psave'.
Smithy. There is no reason why openbox with tint2 should not work. I believe that in the past people have used them a lot. Those who have used them, probably have ready made packages for it. I think I have provided them also...by just uploading them to some repos....
I believe I uploaded openbox-fbpanel-tint2 pets to the exprimo repo in smokey01.com. they should provide templates how to do it. I had 'wmswitcher' included in exprimo to provide easy windowmanager switching though and /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc edited to show that wmswitcher in jwm main menu.
I havent played with them in dpup wheezy, since I have been happy with jwm. I use openbox with lxde in Lubuntu 64 bit and jwm with Puppy. So...happy experimenting.
PS. Radky probably have openbox related ready packages. He has recently updated that kind stuff in recent Lucid Puppy releases.

Geeeee... I'll try just once more to get this to the right thread
Upgrade to 3.5.2.4
All went well (desktop icons to be fixed & background) but retained my wbar settings from 3.5.2.4 and...
'it's looking very good pemasu, thanks for continuing with puppy!'
On with the testing.
