bigbup, yes I'm aware of Phillipe's work, he does a nice job, thanks

firefox 4 is recompiled, saved nearly a meg (smaller than official version), also seamonkey-2.1b3... it's 19M, about the size of the static "official" version. Dunno why it's so bloated :roll: :?

Hi ttuuxxx, nah that's an extras one.. where did you find it?

The Packages-slacware-13.37-official file is derived directly from the PACKAGES.TXT from Salix. I use theirs because the official slack one available from any of their mirrors doesn't have dependency information. That has to be generated in a running Slackware with a script from Steffano Stabellini... me and MMHP have been right through this.

http://salix.enialis.net/i486/slackware ... CKAGES.TXT

Cheers

EDIT: ttuuxxx, following attachment is the woof database that it reads to get packages. It cross references the package databases. You'll see the fields eg:
yes|abiword||exe,doc,dev,nls

Obviously yes means it gets downloaded, 2nd field is the package name(generic),3rd field is the generic name in the database, 4th redirects doc,dev,nls. If the 3rd field is empty that means it's a PET. It should help you figure out what are pets and what are txz files.

flippin ell, :oops: ,

I take three days "off" puppy to earn a penny or two too feed my puppy habbit and he comes out with a pre-alpha :D

will download tomorrow morning when I have available capacity,

lets see how much I can break. :twisted:

scsijon

ps wuxiandianzi has built a number of 2.6.38.2 to 4 kernals if you want to try one. They are woof compatable. He can build a specific if you want odd things, (like I asked for btrfs enabled to try it, not yet ready as there is no fsck yet).

I just wanted to know which gconf/orbit to compile to match slackware 13.37 , hmmmm earlier gconf/orbits are a lot smaller, how strong do you feel about matching version numbers?

Gconf and ORBit2 are in the PPM, they are derived from another salix PACKAGES.TXT
http://salix.enialis.net/i486/13.37/PACKAGES.TXT
So looks like they double up on some stuff. According to that one both packages are around 1156K compressed, that would include docs and dev. The only package that we have in that could use gconf is gnumeric I think, I compiled it with that disabled, still works ok, but as DaveS pointed out if you put a hot link in gnumeric it don't work. Is that because of yelp? I dunno!
now, as far as compat goes I think it's wise to stick with matching versions. That's why i want to go through most of the quirky libs and recompile. Nothing worse than getting 'symbol lookup error' or whatever.
Space is at a premium. i don't want to bloat this thing too much. I intend to compile a new kernel too, hope that doesn't ramp it up much, shouldn't. The BABY build works ok, but it is severely cut down in drivers. I hope I can get SM-2.0.14 going ok as it is the smallest bang 4 byte, you get email, composer, address book included, so that's cool. I think composer is the deal breaker, unless you know of a really tiny wysiwyg editor :) then I'd go firefox, even 3.6x series for size.
Playdayz had a good idea with no browser, well there was dillo and midori but midori was only there to run CUPS, that's a fair bit of overhead I reckon for printing and it's dead weight. I'd rather have a few more meg and a useful browser. It also had to carry a few meg of nss and nspr, sitting there as dead weight because midori couldn't use it. Anyway that's just my take on it, it worked fine and i just am doing it differently. If CUPS didn't need a browser then the no browser idea I reckon would be great, and I'd go that way. :)
So, there you have it, if we don't need it then it's out!
Have to find the right balance.. I guess that's it with anything. We want a nice smooth experience, many things at the fingertips, and anything extra just a few clicks away. I think that's why quickpet was popular, that was playdayz idea too, nice and handy for a few popular apps. I do intend to update quickpet for spup, maybe call it "slickpet" :lol:

Brief test of spup-120 in a manual frugal install, starting with pfix=ram.

First impression....WOW!

It boots directly to the desktop without the usual dreaded 5mm right-shift. This one has maybe 1mm shift. Small enough to live with without having to install the nVidia driver.

First task is setting up a pppoe connection, which failed entirely.

Network wizard is successful in establishing the eth0 connection. Next is pppoe-gui (see picture). Setup as usual, "Start", however , gives me this:

Code: Select all

................TIMED OUT
/usr/sbin/pppoe-start: line 193: 24381 Terminated              $CONNECT "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1

Press ENTER key to continue: 
"Status" shows this:

Code: Select all

pppoe-status: Link is down (can't read pppoe PID file /var/run/pppoe.conf-pppoe.pid.pppoe)

Press ENTER key to continue: 
This file /var/run/pppoe.conf-pppoe.pid.pppoe doesn't exist at all.

In trying to make a screenshot, I notice that mtPaint-snapshot does not store its shots, or rather doesn't make any. The usual places like /.root or /tmp have no pictures stored. Even pfind can't find anything.

Keyboard in de settings works fine.

That's as far as I got before hurrying back to 525 :D

Exactly. Using those toy browsers in CUPS was a nuisance. I could never find the Back and Forward buttons when I needed them.

There were numerous complaints in Lupu about not having a real browser available when running as a Live CD. That's an essential feature if you want to promote Puppy for things like safe online banking.

Don't worry about it, I've compiled Seamonkey 2 and its 13MB tar.gz.
Still have some work to do to it first :) You know me, I just don't like boring default settings etc. I'll be ready tomorrow, its late tonight.

spup-120 pre-alpha based on 13.37

#53 Post by Billtoo »

I installed spup120 to a 4gb flash drive.
It booted to the desktop at the correct resolution.
I ran the network wizard and used sns for eth0 and it worked.
I installed some pets and rebooted saving to the flash drive.

Mon 2 May 2011 Operating System: Slack Puppy-120 Linux 2.6.34.1
0.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C77 [GeForce 8200] (rev a2)
oem: NVIDIA product: MCP77 Board - mcp78pvo Chip Rev

X Server: Xorg Driver: unknown
X.Org version: 1.9.5
dimensions: 1920x1080 pixels (507x285 millimeters)
depth of root window: 24 planes


Athlon(tm) Dual Core Processor 4850e
Core 0: 2500 1: 2500 MHz

...the above also recorded at '/tmp/root/report-video-glx'.

I installed the devx and kernel source and tried installing the nvidia
driver but it had to uninstall the nouveau driver and reboot but after
doing that it found another problem (broken devx I think), started
over and redid the flash drive install :)

I adjusted the sound levels with alsamixer and it's good now.
I made a seamonkey 2.0.14 pet the other day in luci 253 (I think) and it works,
really big though at 28mb

Spup120 is working pretty well on this pc for a pre alpha version.

edit: I noticed that the time was incorrect even though the time zone was set correctly, a day behind as well.
Also has an error message displayed every time urxvt is run.

Hi mick,

Frugal installation of spup-120 is working great including printer, scanner, and sound. And you call this a pre-Alpha. Only problem noted is that ePDFView doesn't work. I did not check Abiword and Gnumeric because, I prefer to always install something like LibreOffice. I've installed the following applications that appear to be working fine:
Bibletime_lucid-2.7.2a.sfs
LibreOffice-3.3.2_en-US.sfs
java_jre-6u22-Lucid-sfs4.sfs
gnome-games-Lite_2.26.1-i486-Spup
hplip-3.9.12-scan HP Scanner Drivers
pwidgets-2.3.5 Pwidgets tiny desktop apps
uget-1.6.1 Uget download manager
nvidia-260.19.21-k2.6.34.1s5 Configure NVIDIA X Server Settings
Firefox-4.0rc1-Lucid Firefox web browser
LHP_sys_info-0.3 Lighthouse System Information & Video Report
get_libreoffice-0.6 Get LibreOffice download and install LibreOffice
Acrobat_Reader-9.3.3-Lucid Adobe Acrobat Reader PDF application

Great job, :D

You can download the latest seamonkey 13.7MB compiled on spup @ http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/Spup/12 ... 2.0.14.pet
I added all of Barry's install scripts etc, plus I added extra search engines for the forum,barrry's blog and a few others, I also made a theme for it, I added a home button and enable the personal toolbar with puppy linux,spup,puppy forum links already there for you.

to install it for close seamonkey, then delete /root/.mozilla <--hidden folder.
then install the pet :)
enjoy

Uh, well, I gave it a quick check on my laptop (Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile 5355, 455 MB RAM, 1.87 Ghz CPU, manual frugal install)
I also had locale error but I ran chooselocale and changed it to serbian locale (sr@RS latin)
After locale change mtpaint screenshot worked (YAY, I hacked mtpaint snapshot first :P )
Couldn't get right resolution for my laptop widescreen monitor (1280x800, SiS Integrated graphics?) when I run xorgwizard and choose that resolution X doesn't want to start.
Also keymap seems messed up (didn't see it reported, maybe error on laptops?)
Here's a screenie me trying to enter "murga-linux/com/puppy" in urlbar :lol:

OK, second run, now on my desktop PC Xorg has correct resolution here, keyboard works ok, changing locale fixed mtpaint, haven't tried slackware's mesa yet though, that's my next test.

Hi dejan, there is a bug in xorgwizard, I don't know what happened there, it's the same one as in spup-100 but for some reason, in the drivers section a stray " (quote) is appearing. You can edit with MP and you should get X.

Weird how keyboard worked on one system and not the other. I'm looking into that. Funny, mtpaint snapshot has been working for me, what did you do?

wuwei, thanks for confirming PPPOE has a bug. I'll try and track down a stable version.

~

Seems if a user leaves the locale as en_US then the LC_COLLATE bug appears in rxvt. So something isn't getting set right in startup, I think I'm onto it.

James C. Using gparted on a drive that has any partiton on it mounted results in gparted not working. I think it is the intended behaviour. It worked fine for me in pfix=ram. Maybe an explanation in the first window (where you choose the drive with a radiobutton) needs to be written.

As for grub, looking into it, may revert to quirky grub. most users will only use it once, so it has to work the first time right? :)

ttuuxxx.. thanks for seamonkey, but, it suffers the same bug as the version in the iso, gifs don't work. I may go with firefox.

Billtoo.. I have to come up with something to disable nouveau when you want to install nvidia proprietary drivers. The kernel module would need to be unloaded, perhaps even moved, before the nvidia driver is installed. Tricky.

Anyone test on an old nvidia yet? Nouveau is still a little buggy. I could play fullscreen flash until I installed mesa, then fullscreen flash results in a black screen with cursor, hitting [Esc] recovers.

Jim.. I see you have the nvidia driver listed in your list of installed apps.. what procedure did you use to install it? If it was standard procedure then 'vesa' must have been loaded for you at startup I guess.

Pretty certain nothing was mounted,only had an old Lucid test frugal and swap and I turned swap off so....... I'll test again later.

Old Nvidia here. :)

Started out with Nouveau (more than a little buggy) and installed Mesa from Brainwave. Just watched a Sneekylinux video fullscreen with no problem.
