Lucid Puppy 5.1- A Full-Featured Compact Distro

[aarf]

@micko: put the webm pets into puppeeec6 and quirky120 , both show no video on the test page when viewed with opera10.60beta1.
thing s mp4 that played before in quirky now wont play in gnomeplayer. removed pets and mp4s play again.
no go for lupu117
also no go for http://tmxxine.com/webm/ in all of above

[01micko]

hello aarf

I will be clear here. The browser is not dependant on ffmpeg. So even without the pets it *should* work, but in Opera it doesn't. Even their special web-m version (http://snapshot.opera.com/webm/opera-10 ... ux.tar.bz2) fails, even on the webm pages in you-tube

Of course the pets are designed for Luci so I don't know if they would work in Puppeee or Quirky. What you can try, since you have the pets installed is downloading the file and use ffplay

Code: Select all

ffplay /path/to/file.webm

to play it locally.

lupu117 with webm pets:

Code: Select all

# ffplay big_buck_bunny.webm
ffplay: error while loading shared libraries: libvpx.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[01micko]

Seamonkey-2.1alpha bombs out too.

ok, thought I added that one, it is the main one!

Here's a pet

puppeeerc6 +webm pets using native chrome 5.0.375.55:

http://tmxxine.com/webm/ plays image excellent, sound barely audible with fluctuating wave in out.

http://users.tpg.com.au/01micko//video-test.html no video

Code: Select all

# ffplay big_buck_bunny.webm
ffplay: error while loading shared libraries: libtheoraenc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Be aware that Lobster has a flash backup.. so it probably played in flashplayer,

When you install that lib, do an ldd on ffmpeg

Code: Select all

ldd /usr/bin/ffmpeg|grep 'not'

if nothing is returned you are good to go with ffplay, else let me know what else is missing.

doesnt look like flash to me

puppeeerc6 +original 2 webM pets only

Code: Select all

# ldd /usr/bin/ffmpeg|grep 'not'
/usr/bin/ffmpeg: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /usr/lib/libxvidcore.so.4)

	libtheoradec.so.1 => not found
	libvpx.so.0 => not found
	liboil-0.3.so.0 => not found
# 

taking a break now,

[Lobster]

the page is designed to 'play something' from a choice of 3 formats
http://tmxxine.com/webm/
It played nothing in the puppy browser - so the code is not perfect

Use the options at the bottom to see if it plays the webm (Chrome Nightly builds only at present) or mp4 or ogg

Have a nice break. Best to stick with Lucid Puppies for this one I think. Probably best to uninstall ffmpeg and restore the original from /initrd/pup_ro2/usr/bin in Puppeee. Just leave the dependencies there, it may drag out some that are needed if you uninstall.

If you persevere with lupu-117 then http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/lucid/libs/ , that is where you find all the Ubuntu libs.

@Playdayz- yes, symlink for printing to windows printer is ok- thanks.

One problem that I get with Firefox (and Seamonkey but not tried on this one) is that using the side scroll bar causes the display to break up into horizontal streaks. Happens on dpup as well as the ubuntu based puppies. Happens on both my Acer Aspire One, and my old 600MHz 256MB ram desktop. Chrome, Opera seem ok, I'll try Arora too.

EDIT: Can't find Arora at the moment, but using Midori now- it works ok. Seems it's the Mozilla browsers on debian/ubuntu based Puppies. I can't be the only user with this problem?

using the side scroll bar causes the display to break up into horizontal streaks.

Yes happen to me too but got incredibly less present when I got the right ??? nvidia driver to work. Now it only happens if I have very many tabs open and play video at same time. I have 3GB RAM so could be related to how much RAM one have?

It helped to scroll using the arrows and page down instead of using the scroll bar

Aisleriot, Avidemux, Blender, Fotoxx, Kino, Linux Multimedia System, Pdfedit, and Numlockx have been added to the PPM puppy-lucid repo. I have also fixed Skype. I think you will need to choose the ibiblio repo for a day or so.

You can choose to Update all the repos, but it takes so long to convert the ubuntu repos to puppy repos. An alternate method is to go to Download Puppy from the /usr/share/doc/home.htm screen and then go to the ibiblio repo with http and you can directly download Packages-puppy-lucid-official and place it into /root/.packages/

prehistoric, I am following your investigation. I just tried from scratch and got the error message, but I did lsmod in a terminal and the powernow_k8 module was running. It did not survive reboot though. I tried the older version 1.2 and it gave the same error message but also started the powernow_k8 module. This is a quadcore. What are you using to check temp btw?

I am pretty sure I do remember it running somewhere along the line--I think I even posted a message recommending it. Yes, and I would use Conky to check the cpu speed, which was 125000 just as it should be with power save working.

Here's a script that I put together to test md5sums.

I use it on a right-click -file - open with -menu. Paste the md5sum in the box and it makes the comparison.
...................................

This is just about what I have wanted for some time.

However please could you add these features:

1. Quits when Esc is pressed.
2. When the splash "Checksum BAD!/ok" is shown. I could do with being able to press enter and and the program quits.

Thanks muchly for the work you have done .

abushcrafter,

The "Esc" key doesn't seem trappable in Gtkdialog.
Here's a less flashy, but perhaps more functional version that saves a stroke. Instead of "esc" a quick Alt-c or cancel and you're done.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh -a

checksum() {
   echo "$MDSUM  $1" >/tmp/mdsumtmp
   [ "`md5sum -c /tmp/mdsumtmp`" ] && echo "Md5sum OK" || echo "Md5sum BAD!"
 }


GUI=$(cat <<EOV|sed "s/#.*//" # enable interpolation and comments

Hi all,

I have uppdated the ffmpeg-0.6 package here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 349#428349

The information is a little more accurate too.

This package is probably only useful to web developers unless you download webm format videos and want to play them locally with ffplay.

TO DO: Mplayer support for webm... that would be more practical for everyday users, but I think it will depend on this package.

Cheers

________________________________________________________

Playdayz: Thanks for all the new pets in the repo, it is starting to look like one now.

Another good addition could be sinobar's FF-convert-0.9 .. the small version. It can be used with the current ffmpeg and the new ffmpeg-0.6.

I'm relying on the hwinfo sensors readout. This shows all the sensors, and there is a definite drop when powernow_k8 is running.

I am pretty sure I do remember it running somewhere along the line--I think I even posted a message recommending it. Yes, and I would use Conky to check the cpu speed, which was 125000 just as it should be with power save working.

I can now switch back and forth between Stardust13, where it definitely works on this dual-core machine, and luci204.

My last close approach to the bug ended with a "does not compute" when I compared scripts and found no difference. I don't know if it is the machine or operator who is dropping bits. The question in my mind now is why isn't the script in Startup being completed in luci204? All I see getting written is the "#!/bin/sh" line.

Afraid I got distracted by trivial non-computer concerns involving cars, houses, telephones, banks, frantic people and crises. (Fortunately, my own car, house and bank are separate from the latest crisis. I feel lucky to have escaped with a broken display on a netbook when I forgot I was wearing a wired headset and turned to answer the telephone. cf. dropping bits, above.)

gnucash

This is the Ubuntu Lucid package.

It required some minor hacking of the scripts to play nice in Puppy but will of course need testing over time, what better time than now with the end of financial year approaching.

There is also a pinstall.sh script urging the user to create their main file in a subdir of root, as root is the default in a non-multiuser system.

petspecs http://www.smokey01.com/01micko/lucid/gnucash.specs

If you want the documentation then you can get it if you have the ubuntu repos enabled in PPM. The files needed are bigger than the program! Heavy dependencies.

If you can enjoy doing your accounts then... enjoy!

Hi,

Project-X works fine with Luci-204. You must run PPM 3 times because missing dependencies, but it works. So I built a pet with 204 and added the language packages for de, it, fr, nl, dk and se.

Another program I like since Puppy 3.01 is TvBrowser, a digital TV Guide. It provides data for over 900 TV stations, including a lot of stations from australia. For stations in USA you need other sources, see homepage http://tvbrowser.org/
Works with all Puppies I used, including Luci-204.

Both programs are working with java.

Download see sig (if I'm online, often between 3am and 5pm, forum time)

@ 01micko
your debs2pkg works fine. It's very comfortable not to undeb all the files manually.

Thanks Rolf

I'm grabbing your pets now, so don't turn off for a little while
