TXZ_pup 4.5

Hi Joe

Is that a typo, in the displayed updater...?

"....which could be turned on or ON"....??

FWIW I totally understand your philosophy, and see no reason for people to be upset....they should be pleased, IMHO

"....which could be turned on or ON"....??

yeah , I did a bulk remame from OFF to ON for the packages and that slipped though I willl fix it thanks

anyone try running the updater script it has all the bug fixes and a few packages so when you setup for the first time just run that script

all the things I talked about with ttuuxxx and the packages that he provided are included now


I spent much time setting up the build enviornment , package management and kernel (two years )so now that
is finally completed package upgrades will follow
and sorting everything out now, is so much easier

Hi Joe

It would be great to have an upgrade finder for all the packages of TXZ pup.

Just downloaded and used the automatic updater........worked fine here.

Hello,

I'm impressed so far with TXZ_pup. My only difficulty is discovering how to reconnect my wlan0 connection after each reboot. All the settings are retained, but I have to manually reconnect to my wireless router serving WPA each time. Is there a way to make this happen automatically? Do not have the problem in either 4.3.1 or spup. (though I am having other probs with spup, based, I think, on difficulties filtering up from woof.)

thank you for you efforts here.

[ttuuxxx]

2.14X also have the same wireless problem ever since I updated the Internet to autoload wired Lan from a link joe had given to me. here's the complaints on 2.14X
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 050#506050
any ideas joe how to fix this?

further info: If I right click on the "connect" icon on the desktop, and choose either "Autoconnect" nothing occurs. If I choose "connect to the internet now", then the network wizard runs. While my WPA login setting are retained from the last session, I have to run the profile, and then choose "auto DHCP" to get a connection.

Once connected, the connection seems fine and stable.

[big_bass]

since I cant test this myself please let me know if this fixes the problem with wifi
clarf in the other thread has a clue to what was giving the error

that wont help the auto start but it shouldl fix the other problem noted

Big_Bass,

thank you so much for building this, and for helping me. After finding my way to the file "Apprun", I clicked on "open as text" and was confronted with this pop up from Geany. It says "Geany needs to move your old configuration directory before starting." Does that sound OK, don't want to mess anything up too badly here.

[big_bass]

click yes for geany

that comes up because its the first time geany was run

it just shows that its a fresh install

Joe

[cowboy]

Thanks big_bass. On first attempt, nothing seemed different. Will try again later this evening, and reboot a few times.

[big_bass]

Hey Jeff

this is just a documentation of what changes had taken place
nothing needs to be installed

here are the two network setups (history of changes )

so Jeff you could revert back if you wanted to by installing network_wizard_apr_1st-1-SLXR.tar.gz is the original

or just "see" the patch I made between the two of what had changed since

only this file was modified
/etc/rc.d/rc.network

*nobody has to manually add that its only to document changes
network_wizard_apr_1st-1-SLXR.tar.gz is the original

network_wizard_apr_1st_shino-2-SLXR.tar.gz was what shinobar edited
and is already installed in txz_pup

Hi big_bass

As ttuuxxx said, Firefox (and some other app e.g. Aqualung) fonts aren't set at the start up. I've found this is due to the lack of the fontconfig package. I tried both the .tgz and the .pet package, but after installation, in both cases the system behaving strangely.
Can you take a look at this problem?
Thank you

[big_bass]

It's not clear how you have tried to improve fonts so far, but here's what I do in Firefox.

1. Go to Edit > Preferences > Content
2. Change the default font to DejaVu Sans
3. Click on Advanced.
4. Change those fonts to DejaVu Sans
5. UNcheck the box "Allow pages to choose their own fonts".

[CosmiCat]

One way to fix the fonts problem with Firefox is as suggested by big-bass
Another way is to install this font package: http://puppeee.com/files/pet/webcore-fonts-1.pet
A third way is to install the fontconfig package, as requested by Seamonkey.
I think the latter it's better because the problem affect even other apps.

[big_bass]

CosmiCat

I compiled it the fontconfig package, removed due to over writing the fonts config

[CosmiCat]

Hi big_bass
First of all thank you very much for your help.
I've downloaded and installed the package following your instruction.
The installation runs fine but unfortunately I have the same problems:
- Firefox starts no more
- The Slaxer package tools in the root directory starts no more ( even after have installed and run your Txz updater)
- The unzipper starts no more

Again, many thanks
