Hello,
I just installed this on my xo1.
First off, this is awesomely the most functional it has ever been!

There are a few not working thing though--

1) Midori doesn't support ssl. Is there a way to turn this on or if not, what is the next
fastest browser I could load that has ssl?

2) You2pup doesn't work. It creates a file where the video should be saved to but that file is blank.

3)  pctorrent doesn't seem to work either

The midori version in Puppy/XOpup is rather an htML viewer than a full browser. ssl/https is not supported.
I like Opera 10 on the XO but firefox 4.08b is not very bad either. Also you cn try the full midori

2) You2pup doesn't work. It creates a file where the video should be saved to but that file is blank.

There is a constant battle between downloader-apps and youtube site...
Try the latest version (2.1.2) of you2pup from HERE. Works fine (for now...)

3)  pctorrent doesn't seem to work either

Yes, this was always problematic on puppy. Fortunately there is now a small version of transmission that works nicely. Get it from HERE

BTW these (and more ) will be in the upcoming XOpup2.1

k thanx
btw have u tried networking xopup with other PCs ?... caz thats the last thing i want my olpc to do 

Sorry no PCs for me (I'm a Mac guy ) ).
Maybe 01micko will jump in on that, but please describe what the problem is exactly Eg how the M$ machine is configured, which version of the OS, how you try to access it from puppy, what are the error messages etc.

well its not a problem ... i just want the file sharing from my MS machine (or linux machine) to my olpc through networking.. i have both machines available right now for testing purpose..im using WINDOWS 7 in 1 machine n UBUNTU 9.10 on other .. i tried this from pnethood network utility .. it shows me the folders im sharing but i can't connect to it ...
btw i also have hackantosh (wich i have installed in a separate HDD ) and i can use that for this purpose too

i tried this from pnethood network utility .. it shows me the folders im sharing but i can't connect to it ...

OK... but what is the message?
try

Code:

dmesg | tail -n 20

after a failed connection.
Also look at /tmp/pnethood/log to see if there are any hints about the problem

Edit: Hmmm, looks like that CIFS is not supported in the kernel.
Hopefully I'll fix that in XOpup-2.1 (that is now pushed back another couple of days), but just in case please let me know what /tmp/pnethood/log says after a failed connection.

So, in XOpup-2.1 (coming out hopefully tomorrow ) pnethood works fine. But it should also work in XOpup-1 and -2 if you uncheck the "cifs" button and check "domain"

I came across this neat script that Jemimah has made into a right click option in
her distribution Fluppy 013.  It will launch a script from Rox-Filer in a terminal
window.  Very convenient.

#!/bin/sh
echo "#!/bin/sh
cd \"\$(dirname \"$@\")\"
\"$@\"
echo \"Script completed hit RETURN to close window.\"
read a
rm /tmp/runinterminal-$$">/tmp/runinterminal-$$
chmod 700 /tmp/runinterminal-$$
exec rxvt -title "$@" -e /tmp/runinterminal-$$ &

[mavrothal]

Hi don570,
yeh this script is like the old "open terminal here" that XFCE, I think, has.
Too bad I just released XOpup-2.1 .
I guess should wait for the next release.
In the mean time you can give us instructions where this script should be placed so can be called from ROX and show in the right-click menu
Thx

[mavrothal]

XOpup-2.1 is released

Has a new camera software that works properly
New kernels with activated network share support
A Spanish language localisation pack included
And is only 88MB!

See all the changes from XOpup-2 in the Change Log

You could use your old save-file from XOpup-2 and should update normally.

To install XOpup-2.1, download the XOpup-2.1.tar.gz file (md5sum: 800b9351753fe792a5e14c5c39e0fe16), expand it at the root of an ext2/ext3/vfat formatted USB or SDcard and boot your XO-1 or XO-1.5

note to mavrothal:

Here are three pet packages to try out  with XOpup2.1.
I have tested them on shinobar's version of  lucid puppy 5.1.1

http://www.datafilehost.com/download-809f4e4e.html
These are four scripts I took from Jemimah's Fluppy 013.
Three are right click options that show up next to folders
(  to make ISO, SFS, and tar.gz packages from a folder)

The fourth script is Run_in_Terminal
(right click option) which will launch a terminal
window and run a script.

I've installed the scripts in the same place as Jemimah.
Feel free to change them and post them for users.

________________________________________________


The other two pet packages  are an application to localize the
'puppyhelp' application which is in all versions of  Lucid Puppy.

It might be useful to you since you want a method of switching
automatically to a Spanish help system.  

Instructions:  Install the two pets and then switch to Spanish.
Click on the help icon on the Desktop.  A Spanish HTML page should
pop up.  Hopefully this will give you some ideas  to build a
Spanish help system.  The nice thing about this is it's all automatic.
I used Zigbert's method of localizing 'puppyhelp'
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-337cd641.html
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-8825406d.html

Localized for Spanish,German and French.

These links last only a   month.

Thanks a lot don57(0).

Time to learn some Spanish I guess

[mavrothal]

If you have an XO-1.5 you may want to check out the new chrome video driver that I made from the latest git version. It looks to me better than the one in XOpup-2.1 though the differences can not be easily spotted.
Download the pet from here http://www.datafilehost.com/download-9006cdb7.html

Another thing you may want to check is the metacity windows manager. Metacity is a dependency for Sugar and will likely replace openbox in the next XOpup version. However we have to be sure that is not giving any problems. So if you can, please test and report.
I'm using a pet package that ttuuxxx made for Puppylinux 5.2 and works fine. You can get it from HERE
I prefer the "traditional" medabox theme but the "bony" ones are not bad either.

A third thing is the latest sfs_load on the fly. Version 1.1 is solid, though a bit slower than older versions. It now reliably launches apps after mounting. Get it from the sfs_load thread.

[mavrothal]

Hmmm,
2+ weeks after XOpup2.1 and no complains!
Is it perfect?...

[XOIOWA]

I have been using XOpup only a little bit at a time.  I use it for a while, and then return to teapot's Ubuntu, which I have been using almost daily for a long time now.  I like XOpup a lot, but one thing keeps me going back to ubuntu, and that is the jumpy trackpad problem.

I don't know what teapot did to overcome the problem, but all the other releases (olpc, sugarlabs, fedora, and xopup) do not handle the trackpad as well as ubuntu does on my machine.

I think if XOpup could overcome that one issue, I would begin using it daily.  Right now, though, I can only use it for maybe 15 minutes before I loose patience with the mouse pointer.

XOpup seems very close to perfect... except for this one problem.  You have done quite a good job with it, really.  The potential of this little green computer still amazes me.

Hi mavrothal,

I downloaded it and unpacked it to an SD card, then booted.  My XO-1 got to
fuse init (API version 7.14)
then said
Searching for Puppy files in computer disk drives...xopup-203.sfs not found. Dropping out to initial -ramdisk console...
Then I am at a # prompt.

Any ideas for me?
