I just installed the getez-0.2-i386.pet above and saw a long list in the Petget package manager saying
Quote:
an entry has been created in the `#the#'X-'
MENU
desktop
desktop
desktop
...
etc.
We had this problem a long while ago and I think MHHP or clarf fixed it.

Seems to be back or is this a getez problem.??

Hi Dave,

I remember that MHHP updated some scripts to show the full dependencies list in pet installations, can´t remember if he made other changes...

UPDATE: MHHP made some changes to /usr/sbin/petget to fix this error, but that fix is for pets containing ending semicolons in their category list. There´s not an alternative for pets with a wrong named .desktop file.

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=42553&start=1769

Anyway there´s a problem with getez pet, if you open that pet you´ll find that desktop/menu file in "/usr/share/applications/" is "Getez wget downloader.desktop" as you can see this file has a invalid name, then pet installer can´t read its contents. If the pet is repacked with the same file but using a different name like: "Getez_wget_downloader.desktop". It´ll show:

Code:
An entry has been created in the 'internet' menu, with text...


As far as I know if some pet contains a invalid .desktop file or just doesn´t have it, pet installer will show that long Menu list. I´m sure we had this problem before with other pet (hard to find the related post in this long thread) and a workaround could be implement to avoid that list, but I don´t know right now where to look at...

Thanks ttuuxxx.
It worked fine...except that when I dragged the pup214x.sfs file from the CD to /root/SfS-converter/3-4-Series it refused to copy. This was with 214X-RC1.

So then I went to a 214X16 install it worked straight away so I used the files from there.

I note that there is a SFS-converter pet which I have applied previously to 214X RC1 but not to 214X16. Could this be the reason? What is the pet for?

Cheers
Dave

the pet was just to change the name from "R" to "X" extenstion
also you just drag and drop it on to of the image, Paste selection needed.

Here's another application Grsync and Rsync combined

Grsync is a GUI for rsync, the command line directory synchronization tool.

It supports only a limited set of rsync features, but can be effectively used to synchronize local directories.

Hi ttuuxxx, Today I had some free time so I updated the 214X HTML file with most important changes. Although I don´t had enough information about the devx changes I added a section for it.

The info (index.html) file should be updated too, I´ll look for it soon.

Please check it and update as you wish.

Greetings,
clarf

Thanks ttuuxxx Smile

I tested some Network tools and I found the following errors using "Secure ssh telnet" and "SSh-gui secure telnet".
Code:

OpenSSL version mismatch.  Built against 90802f  you have 10000002


Any idea?

ttuuxxx,

I'd like to try Google's Chrome browser and have downloaded GoogleChrome-004.pet
It works in puppy 431 but in 214X I get

Quote:
sh-3.00# google-chrome

/usr/bin/google-chrome: /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.0.0' not found (required by /usr/bin/google-chrome)

/usr/bin/google-chrome: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by /usr/bin/google-chrome)
sh-3.00#


I doubt I'm the only one who would like to try this browser.
So, any chance you have these libs or could compile them for 214X?

Cheers and thanks
Dave

ttuuxxx, there seems to be consensus that the synaptics driver works better, and editing /root/etc/X11/xorg.conf

see

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=26205

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=18339

I think we need a gui with disable/adjust to suit, options......

HTH

I like how the wmpower applet looks at taskbar tray when I boot Puppy 214X in my laptop (thanks ttuuxxx), sadly each time I update a new version I had to manually install the battery.pet, I also think that any new laptop user should enjoy battery applet without installing that pet (or even know it exists).

I noticed that Puppy 4.3 shows in task bar a battery meter automatically (you don´t need to install anything) if the ACPI battery modules are loaded, if you don´t have a laptop it just don´load it.

I tried to figured out how it works, and now I updated the necessary file to let Puppy 214X detect if a ACPI battery laptop module is support by the hardware (it knows if you are using a laptop), then it load all the ACPI modules and wmpower is shown at JWM tray automatically.

The trick is done by this little Puppy 4.3 code

Code:
#clarf: Check for laptop battery...
modprobe battery
if [ -d /proc/acpi/battery ]; then
 results="`find /proc/acpi/battery -mindepth 1 -type d`"
 if [ ! -z "$results" ]; then
load other modules
else
unload battery
 ...


When battery module is loaded in a laptop a new directory (BAT0 or BAT1 it depends how kernel recognized the battery) is created in /proc/acpi/battery/ which has all the information from that hardware, something like /proc/acpi/processor. If you load the same battery module in a non battery dependent hardware (desktop) or not supported battery model, then no battery information is obtained from hardware and not BATn directory is created.

Well I uploaded a new rc.sysinit that automatically does that function with the small added code, I also uploaded the jwmrc-tray file that ttuuxxx kindly created before for the battery.pet.

It should work in laptops and desktop machines without any changes and without error in JWM tray.

Please, test and feedback

Greetings,
clarf
