The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

That's done Dave S. We possibly will update Gnumeric so your legendary skills will be needed!If you can, please swap out pfbpanel for this one from mrd. Just gives the option of eight launchers instead of four. Just a tiny re-write, does not introduce any bugs etc.
Done stu90. Thanks.Hi Playdayz,
This probably needs changing upstream by Barry for the urxvt packages but the .desktop file for Urxvt opens rxvt - it need to be changed to Exec=urxvt
pschedule might have been updated as well?
All, please test pmusic 1.8.3 in luci-260. Put it through its paces if you could. Zigbert thinks it has problems, but it is at least playing mp3's for me--perhaps switching to the i686 libc helped.

Hey playdayz, I'm really glad you decided to release another Lupu!
The 64-bit kernel is ready and working, you can see it here. My main OS now is a "hybrid" 5.2.5 with a 64-bit kernel and an E17 build I made using Puppizard in two clicks
At the moment I'm migrating the kernel build script to Puppizard and I also want build scripts for NVIDIA, Sysprof and ndiswrapper, so we have an automated way to build all the important third-party stuff Puppy has.
A "hybrid" version sounds nice, by the way - we could compile a bleedin' edge 64-bit kernel. Also, it would be very nice to have an E17 SFS in Quickpet.
Oh, and another thing - add Yad. Many Puppy developers adopted it already and I think it could be very nice to have it built-in.
And last thing - remove Flash. It gets outdated over time and that sucks - we could write a simple Flash installer instead, both for size (it reduces the ISO size by a few MBs!), security and multimedia experience.
OH, now that's the last thing I remember I didn't like about 5.2.5 (really! just 4 things!) is the fonts - the DejaVu fonts of Lupu are bad with Hebrew and Arabic. I have build scripts for the DejaVu fonts, Libertine, Liberation, Freefont and the Ubuntu font family - they could be very handy if we want a fonts category in Quickpet

On board with that. Just had Chromium 14 refuse to run because libflashplayer was out of date in spup.Iguleder wrote:remove Flash.

Stable
As stable as this is, there is some revolutionary advances being made as you move to completion on this.
This, in my view, is NOT an UPDATE. This is an advancement! Significant in kernel(s), and tool(s) for community use.
I, for one, applaud this effort as it is embracing many 2011 advances made. Maybe the LTS might not be a good acronym to reflect the positive things you are bringing forth for our benefit.
Potentially 2-3 distro, Puppy 5.2.5 based, 32bit/64bit, that takes advantage of all RAM on any modern PC since 2006....WOW! And, most of all, very, very stable. And, I do not see any increase iin system running memory use that I would consider as negative. In fact, the system seems (currently emotional) even more responsive.
Thanks you for this
Question on flash
Didn't someone already get a facility in place that only installs Flash when the browser demanded it? Was that Pemasu? I thought I remember seeing this somewhere before.

nooby - remove the "nosmp" parameter. Netbooks benefit a lot from Hyperthreading and you disable it, which means your N270 runs only one thread.
This isn't 50% of the performance you get with SMP, but when it's an Atom processor everything counts - I have an N450 and I had to do many tweaks to get things working well
And gcmartin - that's my point too - advancement and embraceable of new things we built as a community in 2011, which was a great year so far. The "-lts" suffix is there because its the 2.6.32 branch, which is longterm-supported by Red Hat, Debian, Ubuntu and others - I recompile this kernel when a new bug-fix release comes out and the build script is responsible for ensuring backwards compatibility. That's definitely something we should use in 5.3 - the ability to upgrade the kernel to bug-fix releases between 5.0, 5.1, etc'.
And playdayz - I really like EZ-Woof. Can you upload one with every Luci, or at least DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS, DISTRO_SPECS and the modified templates? I'd like to do some compilation work on it.
Also, I think it's time to freshen it up with the latest Ubuntu packages, because some security fixes made their way to Lucid. 5.2.6 could be the golden age of 5.x, just like 4.3.1 back then.
Cheers!

Hello playdayz,
You couldn't leave the big world of Lucid.
Installed FRUGAL Lin'N'Win the 260
All went well and 'attached' my application environment.
Applications did run.
However I was 'spoiled' by puppy's having sfs load on the fly, so I installed it in 260. Maybe nice to add it in a later release.
Also in pemasu's I discovered this wonderful utility of google translate.
Working regularly in multilingual, this was really a big help to me.
Maybe also something to consider to add?
Compared to 5.2.5 260 seems snappier, specially with my Wine applications.
