Thanks for this. It has been installed on to a 4GB USB stick and runs very well on my ThinkPad X220.

EDIT: Forgot to mention - seems that it does not support the wireless adapter (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205) on X220 out-of-the-box. I need to go to intellinuxwireless.org to download the driver file, and put it into /lib/firmware to make the wireless connection work.

Gray is one of our Puppys smart enough to be a rocket scientist because he is one.

His work is always NOP
(which I believe stands for No Problem . . . amongst other things)

Hi Gray

Magnificent - many thanks.
It just flies on my 10yr old laptop.

I installed Gatotray.pet to measure CPU temp,
then sfs-loader.pet for on the fly sfs loading/unloading.
then loaded Dillo.sfs and SoftMaker-Office.sfs.

All seems to be working as expected.

What a lovely puppy - much appreciated.

Very best regards - Ray

I'm really enjoying this Racy NOP. I'm running it from a 2GB USB stick on my Eee PC 900. So far, everything is working properly. The only thing I've added is a few more Pwidgits. Since I'm a fan of Xfce, I appreciate the time and effort put into this build. Many thanks!

Using the Screenshot tool, I can't seem to be able to capture the menu along with the desktop. The menu disappears as soon as the screenshot icon is clicked. I'm doing a mini review of Racy NOP 5.2.2 on an independent Linux forum and would like to include a shot of the menu. Is there any way of doing this with the included Screenshot tool?

The other screen shot application in the Wary repo, Screengrab, requires Qt4. Perhaps there is another application that will work?

Thanks, Ken

The mtpaintsnapshot tool captures the menu. It is already in NOP but does not have a menu entry. Just type mtpaintsnapshot.sh in the terminal.

Ah, I see. Thanks!

hello my friend
i have tried your new NOP version. it is amazing and fantastic. nothing but praise! i was wondering if you would like to share the xfce pet with us? i just used woof to build my own distro, and i somewhat encountered difficulties compiling the XFCE 4.6. it seems that i am missing something or maybe dependencies to run the xfce with menu and icons. i want to take your xfce pet as reference to see where i am going wrong。thank you in advance

Thank you for this brilliant Puppy, Gray.

I have a problem with Opera though as it keeps forcing me to use Google Aus to search and I can't find a way around it!

Also, do you know if Ultra DMA BIOS settings can be used when running Linux? Mine was set to Code 2 as it previously had WINXP loaded, but I don't think this is right for Linux?

I wonder if this is the reason that the fan is going berserk? Is it trying to run run too fast? I don't know very much about theses settings, as you can see!

Cheers

maureenc,

I don't know which country you are in but this is what you need to do:

You can add or amend a search engine in Opera using Tools>Preferences>Search.

Highlight the Google entry and select "Edit". You can see the URL used for the search by clicking on "Details" and looking in the address box. Copy this text somewhere and you should be able to work out what needs amending for your country. (You may already know the appropriate string from another browser or OS.) You can create a new Google entry for your country by selecting "Add" in the search settings screen and giving it a distinct name to avoid a clash with the existing Google entry. (For example, In the UK I name mine GoogleUK.) Also make your new Google entry the default search engine by selecting this option in the "Details" box.

Terryphi,

Thank you very much for that information. I will test it out on Opera on my desktop as I currently have gone back to Browserlinux on the old Packard Bell Easynote I was testing RacyNop on.

Reason being that I had a really frustrating time getting Wireless up and running and then stable on both Racy and Wary. I don't understand why it is a two minute job to setup on Browserlinux and it keeps on working after every bootup.... But on the other versions it just won't work properly.... Even though the setup is exactly the same.

I have a headache from trying today so will wait for a few days before I try again, I think!

Having this noisy fan doesn't help.

I noted that Gray said that the revised version (which I had loaded) has Imsensors..... I couldn't find it anywhere on mine.

Many thanks.

maureenc · #36 Post by **maureenc** » Thu 23 Feb 2012, 20:32

Aaaargh.... This is so frustrating....

I love this Racy NOP but some of it doesn't seem to like me....

I get my Linksys card working fine in Simple Network Setup.... It won't set up properly using the Wizard because that wants to add "restricted" to my "managed" WEP setup..... Which works perfectly OK without it using SNS!....And also in Browserlinux.

But when I reboot, Racy doesn't recognize the PCMIA card until I eject it and the put it back in again..... Does anyone know why this should be the case? I've trawled through zillions of posts but there doesn't seem to be a conclusive answer....

Today I ended up accidentally overwriting my etc/rc.d/rc.local file by pasting in my Network details! How the heck do I find out what should be in there?

I would be really grateful for any info....

maureenc · #37 Post by **maureenc** » Tue 28 Feb 2012, 20:56

I had to give up with RACY NOP, Gray because I just could not get the Internet connection working smoothly.... It would set up OK eventually.... after much pfaffing about but then would be lost on the next startup.

I've gone back to Wary 5.2.1 on which the same Linksys card worked perfectly "straight out of the box" with no messing about at all.... and reboots beautifully.... Every time.

I will just have to uninstall all of the bits I don't want, won't I.

I did like your version though... And I have installed Thunar....

Gray,

I love your NOP puppies...

Any chance you might come out with a Lucid NOP?

Gray i noticed that the mouse pointer in Racy Nop in flickering. It appears and disappears and the display brightness is high. I hope this problem will be resolved on the next Racy nop release
