spup-121.02 pre-alpha3 based on 13.37
Posted: Mon 02 May 2011, 14:07
Well a 3rd pre alpha is done
Firefox-5-beta1
http://www.brainwavedesigncentral.net/m ... 6-spup.pet 15M
NOTE that "fido" (restricted user) is implemented, I recommend not to use fido!
http://www.brainwavedesigncentral.net/m ... 121.02.iso K2.6.35 (.13)
Patched with Iguleders version patch because it's LTS. Using jemimah's DOTconfig from fluppy. This is the main version
http://www.brainwavedesigncentral.net/m ... el-2.6.35/ Kernel source and stuff
~
http://www.brainwavedesigncentral.net/m ... 121.01.iso This is the 'dodgy' 2.6.37.6 version. Test/use at your peril!. One advantage is that it has nvidia drivers available. kernel source <-- http://www.brainwavedesigncentral.net/m ... -2.6.37.6/
DEVX <-- http://www.brainwavedesigncentral.net/m ... 121.02.sfs (change the last digit if needed )
Checksums..

99da478b7d65619e53bd13c33ec18e7f devx_spup_121.02.sfs
LOTS OF BUGS
-flsynclient methinks
-usb stick booting (note to pemasu, I think it's a woof bug)
-first run locale change.. "OK" button is off screen for some, hit "enter".
-gparted (needs an update.. or zigbert's frontend to cfdisk )
SOME BUGS FIXED
-hopefully Xorg to some degree
-full installation
NOTE:
If you want KDE get it from PPM, it's large, and also needs *.csh files deleted from /etc/* to work almost properly (SFS soon)
THERE are some surprises
Known issues
*abiword rendering is garbage
*chromium based browsers may or may not work
*PPPOE is updated, needs a test
*inherited woof bugs, usb for one
Fixes
*some big xorg fixes including a full xorg.conf and synaptics support (tho you may not notice, and there is probably more to do)
*keyboard fr/azerty sk/qwertz
*xchat
*seamonkey
*add transmission lite
*start to implement small screen fixes, icons
*devx deps
*ppp
*attempt for pppoe
*gnumeric
Xorg has had a lot of work done to it, if you have issues please report.. I am expecting nvidia issues.
To do
*recompile heaps of stuff, bring stuff up to date, slackbuilds are good place to start. Major libraries should be kept inline with slackware versions. Slackware keep many sources with patches which may be handy.
*fix guis for small screens, they are horrible (status=started)
*decide what icon layout is best.. maybe someone can hack something together for small screens, they are way too cluttered with heaps of icons. (status=started)
*translate... no need to reinvent the wheel here, many of shinobar's wary quickset programs will fit right in.
* fix quickpet for spup
* integrate with olpc work
Extra pets
PPM for spup is working BUT not all packages are compiled for this version
Other notes.
nouveau is back, seems to be better now, at least for me, getting HW acceleration. If it doesn't work for you try nv in xorgwizard and report issues please.
Radeon later model users may have to boot with 'modeset=0' on the kernel line.
To unload nouveau
*boot pfix=nox
*edit xorg.conf in mp (at console)
*fine "nouveau" and replace with nv or nvidia
*type xwin to start X
Things to test
*gparted
*grub
*grub4dos
*full installs
*usb
*ntfs/windows partitions
*keyboard
Important note
If you compile/make pets for this version I would like to stick with a naming convention
*a normal script name-versionnumber (hyphen delimited)
*compiled app name-versionnumber-arch (like new2dir does.. please separate DOC,DEV,NLS)
*driver name-`uname -r`-versionnumber
Please, no hyphens in the name, use underscores.
Please post pet.specs if possible.
Optionally you can append "-spup" to the version number, this is recommended. Also, please compile i486, unless the app requires i686 then that's ok, some multimedia apps.
eg: seamonkey-2.1b2-i486-spup
Have fun
***Disclaimer.. I didn't make the first boot image! (though I used it! Looks nice tho, sorry Pat, but we are pre-alpha, this is NOT official)
