Dpup Exprimo 5.X.15
I have started the upload of dpup pets. There are about all those dpup pets I have. There are my compiled stuff also, for exprimo, so for some pets, some additional libs might be reguired from squeeze repos, until they work in guy dog, but I believe all pets basically works there. Launch the app in console if they dont start from menu entry and you will find out what you are missing.
There will be 464 pets.

Smokey01. I hope that you dont mind if I use your granted ftp upload site for this dpup packages rescue repository. I think this will work as nice backup for me also.
I thought to pm to you and ask permission, but then I thought that I will upload first and then ask. Like shoot first then ask. Lol.
EDIT. Upload finished. Well...for Smokey01,as server master (like master of universe), it wont be difficult to get rid of the pet_packages-folder. Smokey01. Now that I use FireFtp, have you noticed I havent much screwed with the permissions.
I didnt check how much time it took. I compiled the kernel for 5.X.10.3 because I have left tulip drivers out. It was my - use your time efficiently while compiling - session.

Frugal install on an ext4 partition. Everything so far works great, I've even installed those great kde games.

I am about ready with multimedia update. Ffmpeg-0.91, Gnome-mplayer-1.0.5, gecko-mediaplayer-1.0.5, mplayer2 and Ffconvert-1.2. Libvpx and libx264 included. I have played with ffmpeg screen recording today and got it nicely working with audio.
X264 made the video quality good without making the size too big.
I also tested razor-qt desktop-panel with openbox today. I compiled the latest with my qt libs. The menu would need a work.
Exprimo 5.X.12 will be mostly for this multimedia update.
Code: Select all
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0,0 -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1366x700 -i :0.0 -aspect 16:9 -vcodec libx264 -threads auto screencast.avi

ffconvert-1.2
ANNOUNCE:
ffconvert-1.2 is now available.
Rip a DVD (plinej), progress bar, crop/pad options, and etc.

Needs the screen capture for the next version...?

Downloads for Puppy Linux [url]http://shino.pos.to/linux/downloads.html[/url]
Screencapture would be nice addition, optionally with audio.
My latest test from ffmpeg screencapture thread in murga-linux:
Works for me with audio (laptop inbuild microphone) and it recognizes my resolution correctly...and works with ffmpeg-0.9.1
My latest test from ffmpeg screencapture thread in murga-linux:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
var="$(xrandr | grep '*')"
IFS=" "
set -- $var
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0,0 -f x11grab -r 30 -s $1 -i :0.0 -aspect 16:9 -vcodec libx264 -threads auto screencast.avi
And here is another script: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 390#596390
for ffmpeg screencapture. File size is big though.

B43 returns in k3.1.8
Just tried wuxiandianzi's experiment with k3.1.8 and it looks like B43 support has been fixed in this kernel so there's hope for us B43 users on k3.....peebee wrote:Hi DaveSDaveS wrote:No B43 loaded.
I have no b43 problems in 5.x.9 as it is k2.6 based....all is detected and loaded correctly for me and Frisbee works great maintaining my wifi connection over time - something sns and net-wizard fail to do.
Which b43 ucode (see dmesg) does your wifi use (mine is FW13)?

Thanks Peebee. I have noticed your report. I will give 3.2-3.2.X kernels go when it is time.
Otherwise. I have now change of my plans of quick upload of this 5.X.12. I got new problem with launching one app from the jwm menu entry. Testing jwm-574, the bug has vanished and....I dont get black squares in menu icons and not yet washed out colors. If this is true...I want to implement 01mickos jwm -reload so that the screen does not flicker when you install a pet.
So...Now I wait if this newest jwm revision truly works...I will use this test build with this new jwm and I start now to track 01mickos implementation.

Hey....Shinobar has already implemented the /usr/local/petget scripts fixes for supporting jwm -reload function. I will check all 3 files, but I suspect they are all ready for new jwm. And I use now Shinobars petget package since it support better usb booting and pet installation by PPM:
Great. Thanks Shinobar.
Great. Thanks Shinobar.
What a coincidence for me to test newest jwm-574 today...from Barrys Blog:

jwm-574
From the changelog:
2012-01-14 16:18 joewing
* [r574] /src/icon.h, /src/render.c: Change the way alpha
transparency is handled.
Maybe the icon issue is fixed? Still fine in Slacko.
Gcmartin. I have been sidetracked and then maintracked by the sidetrack of glibc-charsets-locales and missing pieces. I have played with strace to track system calls and what it find missing when launching certain programs. What I have found. fi_FI.UTF-8 needs to be in /usr/lib/locale.
Another thing which is missing is..../usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache which causes that several gtkdialog apps launches slower than they should.
Here is the fixing pet for that problem. I suggest all to install it. You get snappier response for many applications starting.
It took long for me to find this fix. I have tracked the cause to Barry`s gconv template which has implicit NOEXCEPTIONS flag...which effectively rules out that file.
Anyway....I have been testing now the latest jwm-576 which has even more bug fixes, now screen resolution change will lead to the jwm -restart. It seems to behave. Now...I am quite ready for next test build....which can be even at release stage.

gphoto2 fails to recognize USB 2.0 Webcam ArkMicro
gphoto2 fails to recognize USB 2.0 Webcam ArkMicro
It was recognized and worked fine in Skype and other apps under Fluppy. I rarely have occasion to use a Webcam but just tried it and was surprised that it failed.
Is there an alternative Webcam/photo app to gphoto2 that may be more likely to work?
EDIT: Just loaded and tested Skype on this laptop and it recognizes the ArkMicro fine.

Hi folks !
Here is something which looks quite interesting .
Compressing RAM with zRam .
I am not a a Linux expert but maybe someone more skilled can use this idea to make use of it in Puppy or elsewhere .
