hi just wondering why its compiled as i686? Thats for newer pc like ours I guess, but 80% +/- puppy users use i386, i486, i586
When I share files that I compile usually I use
./configure --prefix=/usr --build=i386-linux
So its more widely used. If you go to the ubuntu repo for QT4 intrepid Gnome packages they are either i386 or 64bit 2 formats to choose from. I'm not trying to complain, well I hope I'm not coming across as such I think this program is great thats all. Plus my next living water will have some Gnome programs, Not from mu's sfs but from what I've compiled, So finding extra applications that might work on it would be nice. Thanks for your time.

Well, my options are i686 or amd64, so I choosed i686(an Intel Pentium PRO at least) 'cause I consider it old enought.

The Pentium Pro is a sixth-generation (P6 core) x86 architecture microprocessor produced by Intel in November 1995, and it was originally intended to replace the original Pentium in a full range of applications.

but 80% +/- puppy users use i386, i486, i586

Running The GNOME Desktop(2.20.3) could be a painful work with a i486 based PC.

I've never been comfortable with the CD burners in Puppy -- they didn't work consistently for me. Ill take the blame for that, but at any rate, brasero was very straightforward and easy to use, a nice replacement for those of us hooked on k3b. I'd like to see it included in Puppy.

hey wow, i installed the gnome.sfs and then the brasero.pet but for some reason brasero doesn't seem to recognized my cd drive. device is just grayed out.
I think maybe i'm missing something.....
my computer is a 686 and i have another partition with dreamlinux installed on it and the bresero there works fine from there. Any ideas?

[luck_gh0st]

when ran by console, i get this.......

[ttuuxxx]

looks like its missing an icon and dbus, you can find the dbus package on the forum and the icon you can find at gnome, should be easy enough. If your having problems locating it the just give me a line.

thanks for the quick response. I found DBus-1.0.2.pet and DBus-GLib-0.74.pet and they were both already installed but i installed them both again but no luck I'm still getting the same error in the console. I have K3B installed and working fine, do you think that maybe
there could be some kind of conflict between the two?
On my Dreamlinux partition they both work fine (not that I'm comparing puppy to dream) with nobody else having this problem, I know there's probably a simple solution.....

[luck_gh0st]

progress! Ok I rebooted the computer and tried to run brasero by the terminal again and now the part about /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket error doesn't show up anymore ( and that file does indeed exist) now i just get the other errors. so now i guess i'm off to find this icon.......

[luck_gh0st]

ok one more time , I found the icon and I figured out it goes in /usr/share/brasero/icons/highcolor/scalable/actions so now I only get the hal error... it's still grayed out like the pic above.....

[ttuuxxx]

here's the howl and dbus I compiled, try it out and see if it works, I don't have this installed, but this works for other gnome applications in the past.

[luck_gh0st]

ok i installed both packages and now i get a different error......

[luck_gh0st]

now i tried to copy the file = machine-id from /var/lib/dbus to /user/var/lib/dbus, and I'm back to my original error about hal.

also I have Gslapt installed and it seems hal is installed ..... hmmmm........

[ttuuxxx]

in a terminal type the following
dbus-uuidgen
then go to /usr/var/lib/dbus
make a text file called
machine-id
and copy the numbers from the terminal to the text file and save it.
ttuuxxx

ps the end result you should have a file in
/usr/var/lib/dbus/
called machine-id.txt
with the only the dbus-uuidgen numbers in it, On the firstline and no spaces

[luck_gh0st]

it's funny, right before i read your post i entered the dbus-uuidgen and didn't know what the numbers meant. anyway i did that but i wasn't sure if the machine-id was suppose to have a .txt extension or not so i tried it both ways and still no success. also i noticed that every time i do the dbus-uuidgen that the numbers are different....

[luck_gh0st]

Actually i should clarify,the above did something ,but once again im back to the hal error..... brasero is still grayed out

[luck_gh0st]

hey wow, i installed the gnome.sfs and then the brasero.pet but for some reason brasero doesn't seem to recognized my cd drive. device is just grayed out.

Easy: use a new pup_save file
Boot Puppy-4.00 (use 4.00 to avoid problems wit udev) with pfix=ram and do the gnome.sfs's preinstall stuff (haldaemon user and group), save session to a new pup_save file, reboot the computer and load gnome.sfs with bootmanager, install brasero.pet.

Hard: restoring your current installation (frugal)
- Make sure that gnome.sfs is loaded with bootmanager
- Run petget and uninstall every dbus*, hal*, udev* packages
- Run this command

Code: Select all

find /initrd/pup_r* -name .wh.* -delete -print

- Reboot the computer
- Boot puppy with pfix=ram and check your pup_save file with fsck and reboot without saving session. Example:

Code: Select all

fsck -fa /mnt/sda5/pup_save.2fs

- Boot your puppy again open a terminal window and run:
killall udevd
/etc/init.rd/rc.hald stop
/etc/init.rd/rc.dbus stop
/etc/init.rd/rc.dbus start
/etc/init.rd/rc.hald start
/etc/init.rd/rc.udev start
- Restart X
- Try to start brasero now. if it works open /etc/rc.d/rc.local with a text editor and add these lines:

Code: Select all

killall udevd
/etc/init.rd/rc.udev start

Good luck.

Thank you wow for your reply. I failed to mention that I'm running 412 from a full hd install. I kinda figured that udev was the culprit here, a few years ago i installed slackware ( i think it was 12 maybe) and I couldn't getthe OS to see any pendrives that i put in. udev confuses me. it's over my head. I'm going to pm you because I have another off topic question.
