The 002 and 003 reports are not very useful.

We need to get it working on 004+, which use the Debian CUPS.

I am pleased to say that GIMP, ufraw, and gtkam installed with little difficulty.

The tray management in the JWM configuration does not work. This was the case in 004 as well as 005.

Frugal install on a Dell Inspiron 1501.

I have installed Office 97 (Word, Excel) under wine in Lucid Puppy 5.1.1.
The problem is that no menu entries are generated for Word or Excel.

The menu entries would be generated in the menu category "Other". But there is no such category in Puppy Squeeze 005 (or Puppy Lucid).

Question: how to add a new category "Other" in the Menu?

dpup-004 and dpup-005 are printing also now !!!

1. problem was that /usr/share/ghostscript/..../Init was missing at all dpups .
2. problem had been the missing world read permission for /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to been shown at the CUPS-WEB-INTERFACE . Just check world read access and it still saves :

No idea about the menu categories thing, actually Crying or Very sad

BUT, here I have some good news: I'm building an experimental 006.

New stuff:
- mplayer and GNOME-Mplayer replace gxine
- The gxine fix, in case some application needs Seamonkey's libraries
- Fixed the help page problem, fully working and integrated Seamonkey
- Pnethood replaces Gigolo Crying or Very sad

- Woof's xorgwizard and xwin - third attempt to fix the keyboard layouts problem
- EDIT: also the custom CUPS/ghostscript/X templates by playdayz; Karl Godt's report is very accurate, the two missing libraries are already in and I added the cupsd.conf to zzSqueeze_Utilities.

You can see all the custom dpup stuff (including PETs) here, including the Woof files used. The pet specs for all packages are listed in repo.txt.

ANOTHER EDIT: I'm really sorry if anyone feels ignored. I've been working for a week and had no spare time, I'm pretty sure I missed some replies. I'm trying to fix bugs in 006 and make it a bug-free 005, as much as possible. Let's hope keyboard layouts and CUPS work, after all we use the time-tested xorgwizard from Woof and the templates from Lupu, which worked.

01micko: your JWM uses /usr/etc instead of /etc, I'll make a new JWM probably.

Iguleder don't forget the gtkmoz symlink and .mrxvtrc Razz

Iguleder · Posted: Sun 26 Sep 2010, 08:12 Post subject:

Added /root/.mrxvtrc and gtkmoz is already there, thanks Smile

EDIT: forgot to mention, I did some nice hack. Lupu runs the first-run wizard from xwin if I remember right, but I want to use the original Woof xwin so I can't replace it with a modified version from the zzSqueeze_Utilities pet, it will always replace the Woof xwin and I'll have to md5 it for each dpup release to make sure there are no changes in the Woof xwin.

I moved the first-run wizard to /root/Startup and added "rm /root/Startup/first-run.sh" to the end of it; now we get rid of the xwin update problem AND the first-run wizard runs only once, if you restart X to install some GPU drivers on your first dpup session, it won't appear again as in Lupu.

Yummy! Razz

Nope, no BiDi. JWM always had this problem, I think we should check shinobar's i18n-and-BiDi-aware JWM, he posted a 493 recently.

Anyway, I have some interesting idea for 007, as 006 is mostly a bug-fix release - lxpanel/fbpanel/bmpanel with Openbox, available as a PET or a SFS. Kinda risky Laughing

Here's a Seamonkey 2.1 alpha 3 PET I made with my freshly written Seamonkey PET maker. 16 MB compared to the 14 MB of 2.0.8.

Made from the official binaries, nothing fancy, very snappy on 005.

/usr/share/ghostscript/8.71/Resource/Init/* ( 60 Items )
still missing .... Laughing

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/ghostscript

started frugal as usual : Monitor Probed Fine ... Barks Fine ... both WELCOME PAGES FINE ... pgprs-shell -connect FINE SeaMonkey FINE .... CUPS-WEB-INTERFACE OK. .... after installing ghostscript/ .... /Init CUPS-PDF FINE .... Printer is pending but needs perhaps pupsave-file first or faster swap-DMA ....

Posting from your latest Seamonkey, Iguleder and it runs FINE on 005 ATM because the linkcode you posted didnot create -s links but hardlinks and playing around with links I deleted the .../seamonkey/lib*.so ... Smile
