french version

#182 Post by don570 »

I am using wary-502q-k2.6.32.28.iso in French. It works well but....

I've discovered the following

1) Pschedule has a French localization but it is not included in ISO.

2) The Figaros Password Manager (fpm2) has a French .MO file
but it is not in ISO. I grabbed it out of a debian package.

3) Why not use Xarchiver rather than Xarchive since it has translations
in many languages.?

4) Why hasn't the screenshot program been localized?

menu font issue

#184 Post by shinobar »

Wary-503q cannot show some UTF-8 characters on the menu.
Get the jwm_font_repair.sh.gz from here and extract.
Run a command from the terminal to fix it:

Code: Select all

sh jwm_font_repair.sh

Bonjour shinobar,
thankX again for this 503q !

context: booting in pfix-ram from 503q-k.2.6.32.28-live-cd (md5sum OK) on the above-already-described-Fuji-Siemens PC - this usually runs with intel Xorg driver.

problem: Again same as in the above post:
1) the locale setup is displayed as usually (vesa mode?);
2) whatever having completed or not the locale setup, clicking on Xorgwizard ...waiting a long long time...display keeps being black ...
3) doing ctrl-backspace ... then got the command-line prompt
4) if now entering xwin, again get a black screen BUT! get the "woof-woof"'s 2barks.wav on the pc speaker.
5) if again doing ctrl-backspace ... then again get the command-line prompt ...choosing Xorg ... test...choice on 1024x768x16 (as usual on that PC) ... Xorg tells "OK for video, OK for card"...then black screen and again waiting...black screen forever...!
7) here doing ctrl-backspace ... then again get the command-line prompt, here doing xwin, again get a black screen and again get the "woof-woof"'s 2barks.wav on the pc speaker.
Thus, all seems going as usual except that there is NOT ANY video !
On this PC+puppy the video is usually driven by the intel driver.
..have tested this on two identical Fuji pc's..!

now something really crazy ! =-)) : this happened... just by accident...!
1) again live-cd bootup etc...
2) I ONLY selected the 3rd locale field (=keyboard locale) i.e. "be-latin1"; 1st field left unmodified.
3) click OK to run next Xorgwizard setup ...choice on Xorg; then resolution 1024x768x16 - "OK for video;OK for card" ; then choice on "test" .... AND HERE GOT the grey display « blablibla... if you are getting this...Xorg is running...blablibla...do ctrl-backspace » ; so I ctrl-backspaced and got ... a correct display :shock: ! Now the locale setting got displayed automatically, here I could setup the 1st locale field to "Français", validate; got the extra locale setup to "be-@euro"; and all now seems to be OK (this post edited using 503q-k.2.6.32.28...!)

conclusion: So the locale setup works here if done in two steps; if 1st and 3rd locale-setup-fields are set in one step then I get a black screen...!

Any idea about this?!?
Thanks anyway in advance for your time.
Cheers from Belgium !
Charlie

devx.sfs

#187 Post by rodin.s »

Which devx.sfs should work with latest versions? It is needed for poedit.
503q is good, fast with ext4-savefile (it seems faster with ext4-savefile), but it's kernel 2.6.32.28 is not friendly with my PC (hangs up, same with Barry's Wary and Lupu) so I use it only to try. k2.6.31.14 is stable for me.

You need not devx when you install the poedit-1.4.2-4.sfs by sfs_load.
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/wary/opt/

devx for 503q-k.2.6.32.28 is wary_devx_511.sfs.
For 50xq-k.2.6.31.14, wary_devx_500.sfs.

The devx files are not liseted both on bootmanager nor sfs_load.
Right-click the SFS and select 'sfs_load'.
Or, drag and drop the SFS on the left entry of the sfs_load main dialog.

Intel issue

#190 Post by shinobar »

Hi, Charlie!

Will you try the i915.conf at /etc/modprobe.d?

Code: Select all

options i915 modeset=1
Extract the attached and place it at /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf, and reboot PC.

P.S. /usr/local/bin/jwm_font_repair.sh is missing in wary-50xq.
But it need not for French(and most of European) characters, i guess.

Hi shinobar,
about wary-503q-k2.6.32.28
(this looks to be specific to this Fuji-Siemens PIV)
Now I could not reproduce the above «crazy» situation.
BUT this one well:
1) bootup from cd
2) left all personalize settings unmodified and then I get a black screen after clicking OK;
3) there doing Ctrl-backspace to retart Xorgwizard, there choice on Xorg, resolution 1024x768x16, test,...black screen again (but lets suppose everything is going on except video), doing Ctrl-backspace, doing 'xwin', black screen still again (but nevermind!), Ctrl-backspace again, doing 'reboot', then accept SAVEFILE and fill in the personal save file name; doing reboot from live-cd choosing the first menu line and select the above save file, and then I get the video working; now the personal settings may be continued.
So, it works if restart using a «without-visibility-on-black-screen-created» wary-503q-personal-savefile + current intel video driver.
Sorry being long.

Tested on another pc (year 2000 owned; laptop Medion PIII 600Mhz 192MBRam .... siliconmotion video driver ...bootup without problem)

Hi shinobar,
about wary-503q-k2.6.32.28 on Fuji-Siemens + intel driver
shinobar wrote:Will you try the i915.conf at /etc/modprobe.d?
Results: (thanks! ;-) )installed i915.conf; after reboot, pressing Ctrl-Alt-backspace does not return to command line anymore: black screen, system looks frozen;
Looks things are going better without it (see 10) below)

Now I can reproduce the startup and get a working wary-503q-k2.6.32.28 this way:
1) ram only bootup from live-cd (pfix=ram)
2) once Personalize Settings box is diplayed, do Ctrl-Alt-backspace to get the command line; left Personalize Settings unchanged.
3) on the command line, do 'xorgwizard'
(be carefull!: the keyboard is default us_en configured!)
4) validate Xorg; choice on 1024x768x16 resolution; OK; then get a blackscreen (nevermind ! let's continue !)
5) again Ctrl-Alt-backspace ... get the the command line displayed;do 'xwin' ... then again black screen;
6) again Ctrl-Alt-backspace ... get the the command line displayed;this time do 'reboot'; save file dialog box is displayed: validate SAVE FILE
7) enter save file name, click on OK; then wait untill reboot is over;
8) wary looks for warysave files, and find the above (under 6-7) ) save file; choice on this one (or, if it is the only existing, wary loads it straight away);
9) now I get the wary5 screen displayed !
10)Personalize Settings dialog box may now be set to locales etc...and pressing Ctrl-Alt-backspace keys returns to the command line.
11) i915 seems to be the Xorg selected driver

Code: Select all

#lsmod
i915
...etc
...
#
NB: this live-cd has been tested on 4 PC's; above procedure needed only on Fuji-Siemens with Video BoardName "82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device"
Cheers!

Thanks for the test.

How about choosing safe mode at the boot menu?
It will offer xorgwizard.

bug in installation of pschedule

#195 Post by don570 »

Wary Quickset 503

I discovered a bug in your installation of pschedule 1.0.

I wasn't able to get pclock to define an alarm, so I investigated
further. It turns out pclock needs pschedule to be installed
correctly.

By opening up the official pschedule pet package I see that
you forgot to install /usr/local/bin/pschedule

Both pclock and pschedule work properly with the fix.

i18n for usb_modeswitch, filemnt and resizepfile.sh

#196 Post by rodin.s »

Added gettext to some usb_modeswitch scripts to show messages about 3g-modem incerted. Put them into pupdial domain. Note that script usb_modeswitch is from /lib/udev/. It is not gettexted, but used to give localized start to /usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch_status. filemnt and resizepfile.sh are in resizepfile directory.

Don that was good suggestions about how to express such instructions to those who use Wary Puppy for the first time. It add to the good feeling of the new user. They know that the Devs care about the details that much. Such are much appreciated.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

got a boot on 'safe mode' .... starts like a charm "out of the box" !...
...except that resolution proposed by Xorg is 1024x768x16 «OK for video OK for card»; once booted, wary5 screen is displayed 1280x1024 instead ..!?

How to include additional packages in the live CD

#199 Post by shinobar »

The wary-503q-k2.6.32.28-small.iso does not include lang_pack.
It is convinient if the lang_pack is on the live CD.

How to make a localized remix is described before.
But here is an easier way, how to make the live CD contains additional packages:
  1. The Puppy you run should be wary-503q(and later quickset edition).
  2. Make a directory '/mnt/home/puppylivecdbuild'.
    You can use another partitions like '/mnt/sdb1/puppylivecdbuild'.
    Any file system is allowed for the partition.
    Ensure the directory must be at the top layer of the partition,
    and the name must be exactly the same 'puppylivecdbuild'.
  3. Mount the 'wary-503q-k2.6.32.28-small.iso'(and later quickset edition) by one-click.
  4. Copy all the contents inside the .iso into the directory 'puppylivecdbuild'.
  5. Unmount '.iso' by one-click.
  6. Copy additional packages as you like into the directory 'puppylivecdbuild'.
    You can place them at the same layer with another files, or you can create subdirectry like 'opt'.
  7. You can edit the file 'menu.lst' if you like.
  8. Run 'remasterpup2' from the main menu > Setup.
  9. Choose the partition.
  10. The remasterpup2 finds the 'puppylivecdbuild' directory and offers 'reuse it'.
    If it doesn't and asks where is the live CD, something is wrong. Check the partiton and the directory name.
  11. Continue remastering along with the dialog.

warning message

#200 Post by don570 »

My language pack is located on USB stick.
When I tried to unmount the USB stick, I fortunately got a warning message.

The message didn't mention that a language pack was currently in use.

Instead the message mentioned a kernel needed the USB stick.
