just having the usual sound issues
Using James Bond version (007)
Yep me too. Does not give me options and then insists on providing
a driver that does not work. :cry:
I have two sound cards so might try configuring manually or wait for new kernel update :)

Incidentally New Zealand does not exist, just like the
man eating Haast Eagle :wink:

Great job igu, your new job (are you eating on the premises?)
is clearly sustaining your penguin efforts

Ummm ... we need to get the numlock thing working. Can anyone make a PET? We also need some wizard that lets you turn it on/off by creating or erasing a symlink in /root/Startup.

For some reason numlockx doesn't work here.

Anyway, 008 already has:
- The JWM theme fix
- The wallpaper fix :wink:
- Pwireless 2 removed

Now it's time to add more interesting ideas like 01micko's wbar ... I'm off to work on the kernel.

I will try to get numlock working and test micko's wbar and maybe rip that wizard from dpup 484 later today.

here's wbar with setup.. .. CatDude helped me debug it, really should compile wbar in dpup... er I had the source but now have misplaced :oops: , perhaps take a look in CatDude's dir on Eric's repo :wink:

Oh, I should mention.. it is a special patched source by Dougal so any source won't do :twisted:

Here's something useful, my package splitter. When you make packages, you can use this to automatically split DEV, DOC and NLS.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/busybox ash

# mkpkg: filters DEV, DOC and NLS from packages

if [ ! -d "$1" ]; then

  echo "Usage: mkpkg [DIRECTORY]"
  echo "Process the package in the directory DIRECTORY to separate DEV, DOC and NLS from it"
  echo ""
  echo "Options:"
  echo "        --help      Display this message and quit"
  
  case $? in
  
    --help)
    
      exit 0
      ;;
      
    *)
    
      exit 1
      ;;
      
  esac
   
else

  fullPath=`realpath $1` # the full path to the package
  packageName=`basename $fullPath` # the package name
  packageDir=`dirname $fullPath` # the parent directory of the package

  cd $fullPath
  
  for i in `find | grep /`; do
  
    if [ -e $i ]; then
    
      fileName="`basename $i`"
    
      case "$fileName" in 
  
        *.la|*.a|*.prl|pkgconfig|include)
        
          suffix=DEV
          ;;
          
        doc|*-doc)
    
          suffix=DOC
          ;;
     
        man|info) # if it's a directory named "man" or "info", move to DOC
    
          [ -d $i ] && suffix=DOC
          ;;
                  
        locale) # if it's a directory named "locale", move to NLS
    
          [ -d $i ] && suffix=NLS
          ;;
    
        i18n)
    
          suffix=NLS
          ;;
           
      esac
  
    fi
  
    case "$suffix" in
  
      NLS|DOC|DEV)

        # detect the directory
        subDir=${i%/$fileName}
        subDir=${subDir:2}
       
        case $packageName in
        
          *-*)
          
            # add the suffix to the package name
            subPackageName=${packageName/-/_$suffix-}
            ;;
            
          *)
          
            subPackageName=${packageName}_$suffix
            ;;
            
        esac
        
        # create the directory under the sub-package directory
        mkdir -p $packageDir/$subPackageName/$subDir
        
        # move to the sub-package
        mv $i $packageDir/$subPackageName/$subDir
             
        # get rid of empty directories in the main package
        rmdir $packageDir/$packageName/$subDir > /dev/null 2>&1
        
        unset suffix
        ;;
       
    esac
              
  done

  exit 0

fi
Just put this in a text file, name it "mkpkg", then chmod 755 it and put in /usr/bin. When you compile something, install it to a directory, then run "mkpkg <directory>". :wink:

That's how I make all my packages.

In case you're interested, here's another script I use, for stripping packages:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/busybox ash

if [ ! -d "$1" ]; then

  echo "Usage: strippkg [DIRECTORY]"
  echo "Strip all binary files under DIRECTORY"
  echo ""
  echo "Options:"
  echo "        --help      Display this message and quit"
  
  case $? in
  
    --help)
    
      exit 0
      ;;
      
    *)
    
      exit 1
      ;;
      
  esac
   
else
  
  cd $1
  
  for i in `find | grep /`; do
  
    case "`file $i`" in
   
      *"LSB executable"*|*"LSB shared object"*)
    
        strip --strip-all $i 
        ;;
                    
      *"LSB relocatable"*)
    
        strip --strip-unneeded $i 
        ;;
        
      *"PNG image data"*)
      
        optipng -o7 $i
        advpng -z4 $i
        ;;  
        
      *"gzip compressed data"*)
      
        advdef -z4 $i
        ;;      
        
    esac
  
  done 

fi
You'll need to install AdvanceCOMP and OptiPNG for optimal stripping.

When I make a package I run strippkg, then mkpkg. Makes life easier.

Karl:

Code: Select all

if [ -f /usr/bin/surfer ];then
  surfer /usr/share/doc/welcome1stboot.htm & #can't handle the file:// prefix.
else
  gtkmoz file:///usr/share/doc/welcome1stboot.htm &
fi
I'm building an experimental 008 with the new kernel atm, I added this fix to zzSqueeze_Utilities, let's see if it works. :)

EDIT: btw guys, would you like me to add my package tools, AdvanceCOMP and OptiPNG to the 008 devx? :idea:

Yes Karl that should do the trick.

Iguleder I looked into your mkpkg script few days ago but couldn't find line where it separates .la files, include/pkgconfig dirs etc... maybe I'm not looking good :roll:

I use similar stipdir script but don't have good script for separating files yet :(

wbar source files

It's not there mate, so i have attached a copy below. (in case anybody else wants them)
01micko wrote:Oh, I should mention.. it is a special patched source by Dougal so any source won't do :twisted:
Not quite true.
I got hold of these from here: http://code.google.com/p/wbar/issues/detail?id=8
They include the offset patch,
that allows one to move the position of the wbar either up or down depending where you have it located.

Dougal was very helpful in that he pointed me in the right direction as to what code to change for different coloured fonts.

I'm hacking LXAppearance to for dpup, it's smaller than gtk-chtheme already. I'm trying to get rid of the tabs and it fails to compile :lol:

I like it better than gtk-chtheme, way nicer imho :)

EDIT: done! :wink:

Another success report

#375 Post by peebee »

HP 550 laptop with Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g

This is first of the modern Woof Puppies that has managed to maintain a Wifi connection without being given a nudge every so often to re-establish the Access Point.

Wonderful.
Thanks

anyone want to try e ? (enlightenment.. e-17 that is..)

see here (Please read thoroughly)

Dpup Issues
  • Lua.. use the lucid version, debian's is severely broken, and documented
    d-bus.. reinstall dbus from Squeeze, seemed to work, (um dev is needed too)
    for uninitiated, lots of libs are needed (well not too many)....... the SVN download is :shock: :shock: :shock: HUGE!. Sorry, no package, if you have a spare couple of gig and a few hours (and a fast connection :wink: ) try this, else don't!
Have fun...

Looks great :)

The first 008 attempt failed, got a kernel panic even before the initramfs was loaded; I forgot the modules go to the main SFS so the kernel doesn't recognize my hard drive at all; now I'm recompiling the new dpup kernel with all ATA/SATA/CD/DVD/USB stuff compiled in, plus Aufs and Squashfs, modules are just a waste of space if they're loaded on all hardware 8)

The ISO is 129 MB, the kernel is much smaller than the Lupu one for some reason.

Problems, problems ... still no kernel :cry:

I tried the Lupu kernel .config and I still get a kernel panic. I have no idea what's wrong.

atm I'm compiling a kernel that uses Barry's 2.6.34.1 configuration, let's hope Barry knows better :lol:

Numlockx debian package

I use the debian numlockx package. See

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i386 ... x/download

However, it does not turn the numlock LED on. This means that this LED becomes working in reverse mode :) if you hit the NumLock button.
It is weird. This has been a known bug in Debian

since Apr 2008 :(
