I've been very impressed with Pburn on my K6 machine. One problem I did have for a time was that it wouldn't blank or write to certain CDRW discs. After a bit of thinking, I realised that the problem was caused by the minimum write speed of the disc (4x) being faster than the maximum rewrite speed of my elderly Sony CRX100E writer (2x). Using CDRWs with a write speed range of 1x-4x does work.

Thank you.
I had seen the pet earlier and was going to download it anyway.

Does anyone know what the difference is between the linux directory and the rel-linux directory on that site?

I don't think there's any difference. I did a long google search and didn't find anything meaningful. Maybe this division between 'Linux' and ''rel/linux' is part of a cunning plan yet to be announced?

Or maybe it's just a peculiar way of organizing directories...

Thanks for your efforts to offer a bleeding edge Chromium.

For those who would like to try out one of the most recent versions of Chromium, I've had a totally positive experience with Chromium 10.0.617.0.
I've installed it on at least four lupu pre-releases and now on 5.2 final and it has always been completely stable and fast.

I was lucky to find it in .deb form. It installs in Puppy without hic-ups. ( (And PPM uninstalls it just as easily.)

It's an Ubuntu Maverick package, available here

EDIT:Chromium can become about 12 MB smaller by deleting the not needed locales from /usr/lib/chromium-browser/locales!

Anyway, those are Pwidgets........look under "popular pets" in Quickpet.

HTH.

OK, let me rephrase the question again.

Is it intended to run 520 from stick or not ? Why does 520 not start from stick as other puppies do. Is it Unetbootin ?

When I try to boot from USB with default startup, my PC hangs at "searchig for save files, searching deeper" returns to the commandline.

When I manually start (press F2) with "puppy pmedia=usbflash" it work okay.
But it is rather annoying ...

This happens on a AMD64 desktop, but also on a eee pc netbook.

Open your memorystick and find the file : syslinux.cfg

edit that file. the last line should look like this :

append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=usbflash

Save it and your done.

I've been testing it for several days and it has been very stable. I'm glad I downloaded it before you removed it.

Run Pwidgets again with only the items you want.

First of all, thanks for the tip to edit syslinux.cfg. It works.

I used Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix, and wireless worked, but unreliable on my eee pc 1001ha. In ubuntu I had to install RT3090STA manually, and blacklist the RT2860/70 drivers.

In lupu 520 I see wireless not working perfect, could this have the same cause ?? I see connect problems (sometimes it connects, somtimes not, sometimes slow). I haven't done a sustaining test yet once it connects. Maybe it works perfect once it is connecting.

Does 520 support IP settings per ssid ?

What has changed from 5.11 and 5.2 to make it necessary to edit config file when using Unetbootin?

Also, why isn't Pwireless or Frisbee included in 5.2. I can't access net using Network Wizard or Simple Nework Setup. Making net access as easy as possible is surely a priority, then people can add what they want?

For nVidia video card, what is the expected/recommended (oficial or unofficial) method of getting a driver activated on LiveCD when first starting the system.

I want to get PUP5.2 system active using Nvidia-256...

Boot LiveCD to desktop
Personalized Setting activates to desktop
What is next steps for LiveCD?

Are these steps, you recommend the same for Xorg_High...?

Thanks in advance.

I would then go to Quickpet -> Drivers and download the proper Nvidia driver--installing the driver would take you to xorgwizard and that should be good. Xorg_High installs slightly differently--it does not need to go to xorgwizard--a Restart the X server should activate Xorg_High.

Unetbootin simply takes the isolinux.cfg file out of the ISO and converts it to a syslinux.cfg file for the USB install.

This may work with other distros, but Puppy is different because of the "pmedia=cd" argument. Clearly, it needs to become "pmedia=usbflash" when it applies to a USB install.

In previous Puppies, if the pupxxx.sfs file was not found on a CD, Puppy would continue to search available drives. So when the sfs file was found on the flash drive, Puppy would launch.

In the newest Puppies, BarryK changed the logic of the search so that "pmedia=cd" only looks for a CD.

I have posted a bug report to Unetbootin explaining the situation.

Actually Terryphi, there is. Iguleder created a little app called Fontwizard. Give me a while and I will find it and post it here. Naturally, it dont work with Opera, but makes a huge difference to Seamonkey and Firefox, and pretty much everything else.

I am putting fontwizard in the PPM. Thanks DaveS and iguleder.

I also listed fontwizard and pemasu's Laptop Goodies on the Tweaks tab of LupuNews.

I have just downloaded puppy lupu 5.2 and all seems to be working well except the blender i have installed from the ppm seems to be missing the library libavutil.so.49. I have the devx sfs and xorg high installed. the python interpreter works.

jump, here is libavutil.49. It was updated in lucid 5.2 but Blender wasn't. Thanks for catching it. It may need more than this one library--so I will see about updating.
