4.3beta1 coming soon

Just to let you know, this is probably 3 - 4 days away.

I have not decided on a final theme, so it will be something thrown together again.

yes the latest kernel is more modern, faster, better, but less stable...doesnt matter, take it, try it... For other reasons, I hate gcc, I tried to compile latest version, errors. How can they release software with bugs ? They are crazy.

"Have been using upup alpha 9 on my Acer Aspire One and it works fine once I modprobed pciehp and set pciehp_force=1 (this allows SD cards to be read on insertion in either slot). Thought I'd try 422pbr, which also works fine but also does not natively read SD cards. Tried modprobing pciehp and get "no such file". Could it be incorporated please? Ledster

4.3beta1
Username: BarryK
"Now about 1 day away. I have built the CDs, been testing them. Of course, when I log into the forum, there will be further feedback and bug reports, but they will be tackled for the beta2. We should probably decide on a theme by then too. When I start the 4.3beta1 thread, I'll ask for suggestions. I have neglected that side of things -- WhoDo sent me some icons, Ttuuxxx sent some icons. If we can keep the theme simple, nothing that will slow rendering down -- some of the GTK themes that we have used in the past that make heavy use of graphics have, I'm informed, also been noticeably slower on old hardware, as well as needing more space. So, simple flat or graduated colors. Actually, there are already a lot of nice themes that you guys have developed. Perhaps one of them will slot nicely in. I suppose Superpup is out :sad:

SD Card fix OK for Notebook?

"I am having trouble with SD card recognition on my ACER Aspire 5535-5452 laptop/notebook. Would ledster's Acer Aspire One fix be OK on mine as well? [i]modprobed pciehp and set pciehp_force=1 (this allows SD cards to be read on insertion in either slot)[/i] While I await 4.3b1 or 4.3b2 I am using Fatdog 112.

Cursor selector
Username: trio
"Hi Barry, Just to let you know, considering 430 doesn't have a cursor selector I just modified pcursorsel-0.1 (used in 421) to: 1. List only available cursors (exclude default & ROX folder) 2. Not loosing opened windows and unsaved data when changing cursor (using big bass' xrefresh) Whether you want to include or not, it surely up to you. Thanks http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=332084#332084

pwallset-1.1
Username: trio
"Barry, I also compiled another version of pwallset. Maybe it's what you want: I name it pwallset-1.1 just to differentiate It is only 1 file, called AppRun, you replace the original /usr/local/apps/Wallpaper/AppRun It is 1 file only, no need other files, so it will adhere to original AppRun in 430 and it won't list all the ORIGINAL-xxx.jpg available here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=45299&start=15

pwallset-1.1
Username: ttuuxxx
"trio your version you left out the files needed for 2&3 series so it doesn't work on the older systems now, The one that Gposil had we managed to have it working on all series, why handicap the application when it was so small with all the functions? ttuuxxx

pwallset-1.1
Username: trio
"ttuuxxx, It was intended only to replace AppRun in 4 series (so it won't interfere with anything else), especially 430 (with the new background_reshape fucntion). To make it work with older series, I guess just use the necessary set_bg from any other puppy. should work ok

sd card reader no response

"Tried the suggested boot options using Fatdog 112, no joy. I will wait for 4.3beta2 then try things there - I only have the one laptop on my desk right now and it is "mission-critical" - can't risk bricking it. I am working on the acquisition of a second PC as a backup so I can play more with Beta's and stuff. Thanks! doc
