hello

test on vmware:

release candidate rc4 work very well.

on intel celeron 4core and integrated graphic hd500

bye

UPupEF-20.04+0 up and running on my i5 based Fujitsu S761s and a core 2 duo based Fujitsu T5010. In all cases it is an update from RC4. Boot is clean, video and sound is good on all, mitigation as expected from a 32b kernel, and with the exception of the core 2 duo (has a pcie memory allocation error present in all recent pups and kernels I've tried) dmesg is pretty clean and unchanged from EE. CPU and mem use at idle is excellent. General usability also is excellent except that as with the RC upupEFs, I continue to have page load failures using SlimJet 26.0.3.0, chrome 80 based, run-as-spot from SFS that I do not have in upupEE or any of the slackware based LxPups. Kernel swaps don't change the behavior at all. I may have a go at the alpha 64b fossil pup and see if they show up there. I have and use a 64b 26.0.3.0 Slimjet SFS I use in LxPupSc64...

Update: Not an apples-to-apples comparison, but I did install and set up fossapup64 9.01 and run my 64b Slimjet 26.0.3.0 run-as-spot from SFS (only had to add in libffi). No page fails there. Runs very well in that environment.

Cheers,

Hi
Light is a light web browser as its name implies..... you should install another heavyweight browser for apps like YouTube - see menu Internet -> Get web browser.

Hi @Marv

The Aw Snap! problems are apparently due to changes introduced in GLibc-2.31 which the 32-bit Chromium code does not expect and cannot cope with.

https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-browser/issues/357 describes.

A temporary work around until Chromium and its derivatives catch up is to add:
--disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox --test-type
[edited] switch to the command line.

Only UPupEF currently has GLibc-2.31. As other builds update to GLibc-2.31 then the problem will emerge in them as well. I will think about reverting to GLibc-2.30 pro tem but this might introduce other incompatibilities.

i got rid of the warning message in chromium with --test-type ie

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome --no-sandbox --test-type

[Marv]

So far so good. Running 32b Slimjet 26.0.3.0 in UPupEF-20.04 with the following line in the flashpeak-slimjet launch script

Code: Select all

exec -a "$0" /opt/slimjet/slimjet --user-data-dir=/root/spot/.config/slimjet --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox --test-type "$@"

No page load failures seen as yet. I just looked at a few places where I had them quite quickly before and saw none.

Thanks to peebee and 666philb for the workarounds.

Edit: 20.04 +0 updated to 20.04 +1. All system checks, resource use, and video speeds remain good. Played a bit with windows color themes and clock font. Usability continues to be excellent, no Aw Snaps at all seen using the workaround above.

Cheers,

+2 installed on the second gen i5 based Fujitsu S761 laptop. Frugal Grub4Dos installs to SSD, first as a pristine install, then as an update of +1. Both boot cleanly, touchpad (using the synaptics driver in this pup) and keyboard (capslock disabled) set up correctly, glxgears FPS and SSD/memory throughput excellent on both also. SNS connection with the atheros 9k card flawless as usual (now). Sound ok in both - one alsa related message in Dmesg in the pristine I don't think I have seen before. Not present in the update.

Code: Select all

[   11.869823] udevd[2908]: controlC0: Process '/usr/sbin/alsactl -E HOME=/run/alsa -E XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/alsa/runtime restore 0' failed with exit code 99.

Mitigation unchanged on this 32b pup and kernel

Sorry to report but installing pWidgets-2.5.8-486 in UpupEF totally "destroys the entire program"... This has happened to this series from way back in CC or DD in its first stages I didn't report it then because I thought it might be something I did or my HP Dual-Core equipment,,, now have a Dell Optiplex 790 and same thing happens..
Tried deleting everything-pwidgets from the main savefolder files to salvage UpupEF (I load from DVD and create savefolder on the HDD) but could't get it to run although everything seems to load OK now after deleting all the visible pWidgets files using another Puppy.

Other than the above, I couldn't find any problems in testing , looks like it could have the makings of another Great LTS Puppy!

Hi ssz. Please explain exactly what happens? What program? What is totally destroyed and how?

Where do you get pWidgets from?

Have you looked inside pWidgest (rh click - pextract) to see what is being loaded and what the pinstall (if any) might be doing??

[sszindian]

Hi ssz. Please explain exactly what happens? What program? - What is totally destroyed and how? - (After you install the pWidgets .pet 'exact same version installed - and working - in every 32 bit puppy I ever used... many many...', When installed, every function of puppy stops working, everything locks up - I don't know how to further explain 'Totally Destroyed' except the program does not reach a Desktop and is a total lock-up! only function that works is a 'Cold-Hard-Shutdown' at a black-screen.)

Where do you get pWidgets from? - (The Puppy Forum 'Desktop')

Have you looked inside pWidgest (rh click - pextract) to see what is being loaded and what the pinstall (if any) might be doing?? ( these functions along w‎ith mouse and keyboard are not working nor any other program functions after installing pWidgets)
