It would be helpful if you didn't use an old savefile/folder when testing as this will block out some of the changes that need testing

This was meant to be the release but there's been a few big changes so it's RC3. I'll leave this up for a week or so and if no major issues, it will be renamed 9.5 and will be the release.

changes:

kernel updated to 5.4.53 & updated firmware ...... this fixes @davids45's wifi dongle problem and is also the first kernel since bionicpup64 to boot without setting nomodeset on my desktop
xorg-autoconf by @mistfire now auto writes the xorg.conf
geany downgraded a version and is now quicker to open.
true transparency enabled in conky so no more black square
quickpet ... added lot's of .sfs and 2 nvidia drivers
browsers from quickpet now run as spot (fixes gmail login problem)
xlock fixed
claws-mail-feeds-reader added
fixed chess engine in eboard chess
@MochiMoppels gxmessage fix
fixmenus now in menu

there's an issue with picom and nouveau that can cause high cpu usage. best solution is to install the nvidia driver. if there's no driver for your card (old card) comment out # the "nouveau" line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X. This will use the modesetting driver but this has trouble setting other resolutions. If you have to use nouveau & resolution setting doesn't work (and you need it), you will have to disable picom menu>>>desktop>>jwmdesk>>window effects

Frugal, fresh new save folder.

menu->Graphic->Mtpaint-snapshot screen capture

Click on it and nothing happens.

The Temperature in gatotray is shown as a constant value of 25 C, which appears to be the value of /sys/devices/virtual/thermal_zone0/temp. Is there any way to change the reference point for the temperature value to be used?

All software so far used, is running without issue. Another great addition to the Puppy Linux kennel. Thank you.

i think it maybe a problem with /root/.Xresources, as i had to change it to get pmwget to work. Try changing it back to this....

original version:

and see if that works.

if it does it will need looking at

just click through tapping enter for everything and at the end it will hopefully display the module that needs loading.
on my dell latitude it's the coretemp module.
you can then add this module in menu>>system>>bootmanager so it loads next boot.

you'll need /etc/profile & /root/conkyrc & /root/.config/picom/picom.conf from the RC3
why not upgrade to RC3 as it fixes this and a number of other bugs?

@666philb, yes it was coretemp which needed loading. All OK now. Thank you.

If you feel it would help, maybe include youtube-dl in the base system. But please use the youtube-dl website's published installation path so that its update feature, "youtube-dl -U", works properly ongoing into the future.

...issue with picom and nouveau...

In the last RC, I had "significant" issues with bad desktop behavior forcing to Cntrl-Alt-Bksp and restart the desktop..many times during a given session. But, thus far on v905RC, I have not seen it on this AMD A8-7410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics.

P.S. I want to thank you for all of your efforts. Touchscreen tracking on the desktop is PERFECT! I love the fact that the Conky is active, OOTB! Excellent choice not just for beta/RC, but for overall system activity.

Is there a way to limit the Conky display to just Desktop #1 vs all desktops? (BUT I do not want to get rid of it as it is an invaluable OOTB addition)
