Please read the updated release Notes and downloads for Lighthouse64-5.12 B1.
- Booting with puppy pfix=vesa,ram nomodeset (or vesa from LiveCD boot menu) is required with some recent display cards, otherwise KMS may give a blank screen or problems with shutdown/reboot. Once you have saved your session, boot with puppy pfix=vesa nomodeset and use xorgwizard-puppy (CL - when X is not running) or the Update icon on the desktop to install a suitable display driver and reboot. To get the NVIDIA-260 Pet working you may need to delete the nouveau kernel module like thisinstall the Pet and reboot. For ATI cards, the ATI 10.10 Pet is a more straightforward installation.
Code: Select all
rm /lib/modules/2.6.35.7/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko
- ATI Catalyst 10.10, NVIDIA 260 proprietary display drivers (thanks to Kirk and JamesBond) The Devx SFS includes kernel source for compiling the latest drivers direct from ATI or NVIDIA.
- Full Samba Server 3.60 includes support for SMB2 protocol sharing to Windows clients (thanks to gcmartin and Kirk)
- Chromium, JavaRE, Opera, Thunderbird email, VLC media player and Kompozer HTML editor
Lighthouse 64 5.12 includes Shinobar's sfs_load on-the-fly. It works well for me, except for the new KDE-4.6.5 SFS, which needs a reboot for proper layering. I've eliminated the Mariner SFS used previously, so that the KDE SFS add-on only depends on the base Lighthouse 64-5.12--however Gvfs is recommended for KDE's file managers and K3b.
A growing collection of extra SFS, most for 5.12 only: http://www.lhpup.org/sfs/512-x86_64
This release does not include the latest kernel 3.0.3 or Xorg 1.9.5 from Fatdog 64 520, but is loosely based on Fatdog 64 511, with glibc updated from 2.11 to 2.13.
