Upup Raring 3.8.4.2 has been uploaded. Same non-PAE 3.8.4 kernel.

Cups is now Ubuntu Raring 1.6.2 version with Ubuntu Ghostscript. It has swelled the build size. Oh yeah. It prints.
Test the printing with various needs and report if some ways to print does not work.

Python is now functional, libpython2.7-stdlib was the missing piece. Adding it again caused iso size growing. But you have Python support or it could be in devx all together. The aim has been functional setup so that you can download from PPM apps which work. So...Precise Puppy and now Raring Puppy and their non-PAE cousins Upup Precise and Upup Raring follow that functional road with Python included. Dont ask my opinion about Python.

Xft dpi 96 is now default in woof. It has caused a lot work. I have chased font 12 hardcoded apps and scripts and fixed several and Barry has made several changes to accomodate woof building for font 10.
I suppose you still find font 12 in use in some apps and so...the font might be too big...you could report of those apps.

Gtk-chtheme-wrapper has enabled partial support for gtk3 themes. It means that if there is matching gtk2 and gtk3 theme they will be both selected. In Upup Raring Greybird, Bluebird, Albatross and Blackbird are matching themes.
If you want to change one of those as gtk3 theme, just pick one, OK.
You get matching gtk2 and gtk3 themes chosen. If you want to change gtk2 theme to non-matching gtk2 theme, like Aurora2....launch gtk-chtheme from menu again and choose non-matching gtk2 theme to your wanted one. It will be choosed as gtk2 theme but the gtk3 will be the previous one from the previous matching selection. Okay...it sounds odd and I explained it poorly.
There is partial gtk3 theme support.
The result: gtk3 apps have now decent outlook. Abiword, Gnumeric, Audacious, Guvcview for example looks nice now.

Latest woof used and there has been a lot improvements. If you want to read about them, just check woof timeline for commits:
http://bkhome.org/fossil/woof2.cgi/timeline
Commits until 2013-04-02 have been included.

PPM has now dropdown selection for different gui apps.

Sfs_load is still under critical observation. It is possible that in certain comps it still is broken. Feedback is needed. Unloading with sfs_load has caused total freezing. I have done those fixes that has been suggested.

JWM is under heavy development. I compiled version jwm-716 and it is now included. The development continues.

Upup Raring has support for f2fs. Usb f2fs installer has been included. It works with older syslinux. Multimenu functionality is not supported with older syslinux due to missing vesamenu.

Test the build, give feedback, report bugs and suggest bug fixes. And hopefully enjoy !

Running from the live dvd with a savefile on a f2fs formatted SDHC
card which is plugged into a usb adapter.
Computer is an intel imac.
I don't have a printer to test because the ink cartridge dried up from
lack of use, may get a new printer soon.
I installed Google-Chrome, and an audacious pet.
Everything good on first bootup, will continue testing but looks good
so far.

I was able to get the wacom driver to compile.
Available here..

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 202#696202

The wacom Bamboo tablet was tested with mtpaint..



______________________________________________

Thanks Billtoo and don570. I am sure Charlie6 will give wacom driver a shot also.

I gave a shot also...
I tested Openshot from the PPM.
It needs this symlink fix before it starts:
ln -s /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/openshot /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

frei0r-plugins can be installed from the PPM, which it complains when you start the Openshot.

PiTiVi linear video editor started straight.

Scribus started straight if I remember right.

Gimp 2.8.4 starts straight. It complains about one module. I had though already installed above apps, about 200 Mb of stuff. Lol.

Hi pemasu,

No problems with devx & sfs-load in this 3.8.4.2 build. In the previous one sfs-load/unload worked for me, but compile itself (as discovered later) actually threw up errors. Now everything just works. Did a quick test compile of jwm-716. I went a bit further with mouse pointers, like this: I'd like to compile my own ROX. How do I chose the right version in Barry's sources? I got completely lost there.

Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the community.

Anikin. Heh. I thought about that also, but I wasnt at last that heretical.

About Rox-Filer source.
rox-filer-2011-10-22-patched2 or rox-filer-2011-10-22-patched should the right one in Barrys alphabetical repository. I would take that rox-filer-2011-10-22-patched2.
If I have understood right, it is Puppy patched source.

I havent compiled Rox-Filer for a long time.

Thank you, I'll try that one.

I'm having a big issue here: urxvt. In my learning process I absolutely need to be able to have a terminal output. I can put text in (shift+insert), but I can't get text out. Google says, use mouse middle button. But I'm using a touchpad, is there a solution?

Anikin. Select the text for pasting with left click and drag along the text ie painting, then paste the text with simultaneous left and right click with your touchpad where ever you want. A little tricky but works.

Or...install lxterminal with dependencies from PPM, rename /usr/bin/urxvt to something else, then symlink: ln -s /usr/bin/lxterminal /usr/bin/urxvt

and change in Rox-Filer options the xterm to lxterminal. You get copy - paste also that way by using lxterminal

It does work!
Kiitos, pemasu for this nice trick!

Roxterm-1.17.1-Lucid.pet from
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... ges-lucid/
works on Raring and several other pups (for cut and pasters)

Not only does it print but it also auto-detects my HP laserjet Pro 1102w wireless printer! Thanks so much!

Just booted and so far all looks extremely good - everything works OOTB. Fantastic Puppy. This has got to be one of the very best Puppies - ever. Many thanks.

I have same opinion. So fast?. However, in my machine it gets freezing. keyboard and mouse is not working after loading.

Because of my earlier troubles with any 3.8.x kernels and my newer Nvidia chips I hesitated trying Raring...... but it appears to be working this time. Precise and PHATSlacko with 3.8.x kernels froze up every attempt but this build is working.

Hello Pemasu

3.8.4.2 is working well.

I installed the VLC 2.1 daily build from the videolan master-daily PPA on launchpad, and it worked at the first attempt!

Now I wonder what new features VLC 2.1 has...

Thank you for this.

There have been reports of freezing of certain comps with 3.8.X kernels in Upup Raring and also in PHATSlacko threads using 3.8.X kernels.

I have got a report that unsquashing main sfs and replacing jwm with Openbox has been a cure for at least one comp.

It is possible that the main nominator is 3.8.X kernel. Possibly it is not prime yet.

I would like to compile later 3.8.X version and try the impact. But not the next version yet. Anyway...3.7.X kernel has been stable in Upup Precise. One possibility is to downgrade the kernel in the build.

This bug seems to concern only certain comps. Newer Nvidia and some integrated newer intel graphics....at least.

Those bug reports have been noticed. The counter-strike is still under consideration....

Hi,

As Python is included, can someone test if Gpodder can be installed, from Gpodder's PPA?

Thanks in advance.

José PInto

Gpodder python app. Dunno about PPA, but from PPM it works when downloaded with dependencies....and again creating couple of symlinks:

ln -s /usr/share/pyshared/mygpoclient /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
ln -s /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gpodder /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

pemasu,

I know u're like "the kernel guy" in puppy land. You've helped me out with a kernel before in the past also a cpl years ago. Was wondering though, if you had compiled, or know of a 3.0 non-pae kernel?
