Puppy Squeeze Reborn 4.9.9.1 Alpha 2

[pemasu]

Code: Select all

tar -xJf specs.tar.xz

Thx, I am wiser man now. I can even feel it. Lol.

[Iguleder]

Uploaded the build scripts I used and Squashfs 4.2. Now the new repo has enough packages to get the ball rolling

2createpackage is running ... I expect NeXTPuppy 5.0.0 alpha 1 to arrive within 2 hours

[sc0ttman]

Dash will be the default shell, if it works well enough. Should be another RAM saver.

I might upload this one if it's any good

Hi Igu... I see you are using dash, as the default shell, 'if it works well'.. I'm sure it will

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh - you probably seen it

checkbashisms script attached here - might be useful for you

Yesterday, I used a combination of both of the above to make the 'init' script in initrd.gz use ash, instead of bash.
It booted fine, and was definitely a bit quicker.

[Iguleder]

The Dash experiment failed hard here - Woof couldn't run because of it. I decided to keep Dash but Bash is still the default shell.

I expect NeXTPuppy 5.0.0 alpha 1 to arrive within 2 hours

Is this what we should wait to test?

Right click squeeze version 524

Just click to install

I added a new feature ... conversion of wav to mp3.

Both an entire folder and a single file.

Thank you don570. I have already applied your right click to Dpup Exprimo. Do you have any idea how to create script to have right click extract-tar-xz and have entry in /usr/local/apps. Mime type was there already. OpenWith folder needs to created also.

/root/Choices/MIME-types/application_x-xz-compressed-tar

[Iguleder]

Uploading my new dpup puplet, I'll put it in the derivatives section. I guess I'm gonna work on it now and leave the "desktop" flavor of dpup to pemasu.

We share many bug fixes, so I think it's a good idea

[pemasu]

Iguleder. Dpup cross-breeding has been nice and many new innovations have been applied due to co-existence of same dpup core. And hopping between different builds ensures that it does not start to feel too dull.

[don570]

I believe xarchive can handle xz
I'll look into it.

___________________________-

I learned the hard way not to edit scripts with
Abiword. The curly quotes problem

Luckily I recognized what was happening.

I'll remove Abiword from the right click option
of scripts

Right click squeeze version 524

Where is 524 to be found, please?

I only see 4.9.x on Page one of this thread.

I'm curious as to the progress in compatibility with netbooks and notebooks.

[pemasu]

Scroll one page back...

Is Right click squeeze version 524 the newest version of Squeeze or is it an add-in?

1/ I am getting server error trying to download from "http://iguleder.info/puppy/next/alpha1/".

2/ Finally tracked the fault on my box3 down to starting at the line:-
:Loading kernal Modules....[ 25.014560] BUG: unable to handle kernal paging request at 342c0020.

Does this help you any?

lspci is back on page 7

Excellent!

I just grabbed 5.0.0 and will test it on my Netbook shortly ...

[edoc]

Puppy-Next (AKA Squeeze) 5.0.0 booted fine on my Samsung NB30 Netbook.

However, as this is a minimalist distro using some new-to-me desktop apps I am uncertain what I am looking at.

I like the clean look! I have always found cluttered desktops to be, well, cluttered.

The icons appear to respond best (most usefully) when right-clicked.

In the upper left corner there appears an icon with a paperclip that apparently manages workspaces.

On the upper right are three icons, a globe, a monitor, and a screwdriver.

When I right-click on the desktop (non-intuitive) I get a menu, however almost none of the menu items are populated with functional apps - or else the links are broken.

What should I try to test this?

That is what it is suppose to be.

And it's got it's own threadhttp://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=70758

this thread is basically now finished. as 4991 has done it's job I believe.

As I understand things, and I hope I have understood him corectly, Iguleder has planned / decided that he will be concentrating on kernals and leave "puppy distributions" to others.

Béèm has complained about Zathura

File names can't have spaces or have accented characters

The solution is to use zathura version 4
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 15&t=70032


Note that my right clicks -squeeze package doesn't solve this
problem because it doesn't have zathura inside .
This saves space.

Is it practical to replace Opera with Seamonkey, please?

Next 5.0 is a bit more than I have time to learn and populate at the moment and Squeeze 4.9.9.1 looks like a good upgrade to dpup 009.

Thanks!

[don570]

pemasu is supporting 'Exprimo' which is based on
this Squeeze distribution
