Post subject: The Official Release of Lucid 5.25 (Lucid Five Twenty-Five)

Subject description: The Most Leading-Edge Lucid Ever Posted: Tue 22 Feb 2011, 21:00Post subject:The Official Release of Lucid 5.25 (Lucid Five Twenty-Five)Subject description: The Most Leading-Edge Lucid Ever This is the Official Release of Lucid Puppy 5.2.5.



Lucid Five Twenty-Five



A Five Digit Update from Lucid 5.2

The Ultimate Expression of the Lucid Vision

IMHO, Lucid 5.2.5 is probably not the best choice for AMD K6, because some programs in Lucid 5.2.5 are not compatible with K6. Lucid 5.1.1 would be a better choice--not that 4.3.1 is not perfectly good also.



Instant Update 001 for Lucid Puppy 5.2.5 (known as the Bigpup Update) ->

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet-packages-lucid/Lucid525-InstantUpdate-001.pet

The update

--> fixes Bootflash which did not work in the release of Lucid 5.2.5

--> fixes xgamma-gui which did not work in the release of Lucid 5.2.5

--> updates Psync to be aware of both UTC and local system time

--> updates Firewallstate to leave program icon off on reboot when turned off

--> adds report-video-glx which might be a useful standard for diagnosing video issues

--> adds ffconvert to convert between video formats

--> updates the Lupu PPM in Puppy Package Manager

--> links Help to LupuNews Help



The pet is 132KB.

Lucid Puppy 5.25 is the most leading-edge Lucid ever. It has Bash 4.1.0, Syslinux 4.03, and e2fsprogs 1.41.14, the latest from Ubuntu Natty. It now has JWM 500, up from 493. Gnumeric 1.10.13 is a necessity because our very own yarddog had posted a bug to Gnumeric that is corrected in 1.0.13. Lucid 5.25 uses the Woof of FEB 28 replacing the Woof of NOV 28 for 3 months of progress in Woof development. All of the favorite Puppy programs are there in their latest versions. Check out Pburn by zigbert which now compares favorably with Nero Linux. Gnome-mplayer 1.02 compiled by our own ttuuxxx is a substantial improvement and now works well with both the Openbox and JWM window managers. All this and the the low overhead that makes Puppy fast and the friendliness that makes it fun.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucid Puppy 5.2.5

Very few changes

-> Rox slowdown issue fixed (01micko and others)

-> 2 menu item duplicates (Sylpheed and Iron)

-> Quickpet Iron

-> Stay-Connected added





Lupu-521 RC aka Release What You Tested



Very few changes

-> back to flashplayer 10.2.153.1 by forum feedback

-> back to DejaVu Sans desktop font by forum feedback, but Liberation are still installed and available

-> back to original udev because the updates seemed to be associated with network dropouts

-> latest BaCon in Devx to make Barry happy - runtime libhug in iso

-> i915.modeset version 2 by rerwin

-> considerable work on devx



Luci-257 aka Better Safe than Sorry



-> guvcview back to 1.4.4

-> /usr/lib/gconv/IBM850.so

-> Quickset (firstrun) message about setting UTF-8

-> udev-151 from Ubuntu Lucid Updates cut down to file to file with Barry’s udev-124 (which it replaces)

-> udev_lib-151 updated from Lucid Updates

-> 2 barks is enough - code snippet to stop barks if necessary

-> Liberation fonts properly installed (thanks to 01micko) and set as default



Testing:



1. udev has to do with hardware detection and configuration (sound, modems, usb, etc.) : Does udev-151 and the updated libraries solve any problems (or create any)?



If you have a problem and this doesn’t solve it, please download the udev-full-151 and install that and reboot. Any help?

http://diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/udev_151-12.3_i386.deb



2. Do you prefer Liberation Sans fonts (current default) or Deja Vu Sans fonts (previous default)?



3. The usual basics: Are sound, video, etc., properly set up? Do the programs work?





(I changed the name of luci_devx_251 to 257 I hope that doesn't mess up the md5sum--I don't know.)



Delta file.......

http://diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/luci-256.iso___luci-257.iso.delta

562da9fe66784cc7a6fd806351cdec05



Luci-256



-> symlinks to libssl and libcrypto 0.9.7

-> PupControl program defaults added

-> latest Quickpet 4.2

-> rules to distinguish between different Intel 845 video chipsets (rerwin)

-> rt2800usb fix from tempestuous

-> Flashplayer reverted to 10.1r102



In testing, upgrades from the previous luci version are not the most important thing now--most testing should be done pfix=ram. And then at the end we will test upgrading Lucid 5.2. Please test Audio, Video (especially Intel video), and modems, and everything else.



Luci-254 is Ready and Waiting



Issues found and fixed since luci-253



-> wget, ssh issue - fixed by using openssl 0.9.8o, an update from 0.9.8k

-> Aide Abiword - duplicate Abiword listing in languages other than English and now French - same listing for program and for Help

-> /root/.history not being written - fixed with bash 4.1.0

-> gnome-mplayer crashing Google Earth - fixed with gnome-mplayer 1.0.2

-> gnome-mplayer 1.0.2 icons - fixed by 01micko

-> gnome-mplayer full screen problem with jwm - fixed with 1.0.2

-> caught localization problem (petget) - petget uses a technique that wipes localization - commented it out

-> include backgrounds from 5.2 to prevent missing background error on upgrade

-> Update PupRadio 0.8, JWM Thememaker 1.5, Pburn 3.3.4

-> PupControl 1.4.1

-> Guvcview 1.4.4 replacing Luvcview



Luci-254 is the most leading-edge Lucid ever. It has Bash 4.1.0 , an upgrade from Bash 3, Syslinux 4.03 , an upgrade from Syslinux 3, and e2fsprogs 1.41.14 , the latest from Ubuntu Natty. It also has all of the updated Puppy programs and the Ubuntu binaries listed below. It now has JWM 500 , up from 493.



We got Gnumeric 1.10.13 (up from 1.10.12 in 5.2) because our very own yarddog had posted a bug to Gnumeric that is corrected in 1.0.13.



It uses the Woof of FEB 28 replacing Woof of FEB 22 which replaced the Woof of NOV 28. This is the Woof we will stay with because in the next one Barry has merged the zzz-Utilities.





Notes

libpython has been added to the devx (and to the Python in PPM). integer.pm has been added to perl. With Syslinux 4, I was able to install Puppy and boot a usb flash disk with ext4. pcdripper was not starting properly and I removed it. Asunder works. Icons in jwm menu work. Sound is persistent. jwm background works. jwm500 now has the correct support files from 01micko.



I think I have fixed the issues reported previously.
