I just installed the getez-0.2-i386.pet above and saw a long list in the Petget package manager saying
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. ... 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: Select all

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...

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

Quote"Grsync is a GTK GUI for rsync.

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

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
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......

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: Select all

#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

Hi ttuuxxx, I just tested it in my home desktop and a laptop and it works fine. :) It loads the wmpower applet after JWM starts in the laptop, in the desktop machine no additional modules are loaded and not applet tray nor errors shown.

I have a little request, could you add a menu icon/shortcut for "rdesktop" in the next release please (Is this remote desktop software smaller than rmdesktop from Dpup?). Also could you look at Openssh error that I reported before?.

Thanks again ttuuxxx.

Writers-Software-v1.pet

#2538 Post by MinHundHettePerro »

Hello, ttuuxxx :)!

Installed your Writers-Software-v1.pet, and have mainly been playing with LyX-1.4.1 of that package. At first it looked like LyX was not fully functioning (it seems to be the front-end of a very cut-down, stand-alone TeX/LaTeX installation). BUT, when I mount the partition where I have my TeX-Live installation, run re-configure within LyX, it suddenly becomes a fully equipped and full-fledged TeX/LaTeX environment :D.

Thanks :)/

excellent I haven't had the time to actually use it, glad it expands functionality, do you have a package for Tex-Live, If so I'll add it to the package and expand on it usefulness.

OK, I'm using TeXLive2007 and installed it lightly, it's 952 MB :shock:.
I admit to not being a Tex/LaTeX minimising genius, though :).

I guess TeXLive2007/2009 is out from standard 214X-builds :wink: :D.

I still enjoy the enhanced functions of Lyx, when Tex/LaTeX is installed :).
