ffmpeg working on Raspberry
'Drive' (a cloud dropbox from Google) does not allow me to access my own files. Why? The fact that I have no timer running means I am considered a potential hacker by Chrome. Setting the timer is not persistent. Barry has mentioned problems . . .
At the moment Chrome browser is crashing with four open tabs. When I say crash I mean no ability to use ctrl+alt+backspace - so until alpha 2 not sure how serious . . .

tasmod, I can't find the pet which contains the arm binary. I can find one for x86 and one for x86_64. Barry said Psync 2.8 is already in alpha1 so naturally I was expecting the binary is already inside the image file I may have to hunt down the package from debian squeeze armel packages
EDIT: Am happy to report that after installing ntpdate from debian package ("ntpdate" is all you need) and choosing autorestart, Psync gets the correct time at next boot. Binary tarball is attached.

Corrected version that will open in GUI. ntpdate extracted from debian squeeze armel package.

While waiting for Barry to release the next version, this is the corrected gtkdialog4 (this one is svn revision 320 - slightly newer than 0.8.0). You can use this to overwrite the existing /usr/sbin/gtkdialog4.

@jamesbond
it seems to me, that something's wrong with ntpdate-4.2.6.tar.gz.
Although it's ~80k, if I try to extract, it seems to be empty. I downloaded and tried it 2x.
Now testing gtkdialog .
Thanks,
Rolf
Edit: gtkdialog4 works fine now, tested with PPM and WallRefresh.
Small problem, e.g. Pmount has still reversed order, maybe this version is based on gtkdialog3? No matter, this is a big step forward .
Thank you very much,
Rolf

After more experience with sap6-5.95, a couple more observations.
As rhadon mentioned, the drives attached to the USB hub were not seen (and no icons present) and Gparted did not work. But as suggested the addition of libgtkmm, libpangomm and libglibmm enabled both Gparted and the recognition of the USB drives and their icons.
The addition of the 3 libs with the Puppy Package Manager seemed to be somewhat of a struggle. Even after reporting that a lib had been successfully added, PPM did not give me an option of a clean exit from the process, but kept trying to download and install the library. I tried to stop the process with "OK" or "X" in the dialogue, but finally had to use "Kill" to get back control. I was not sure if the library had been added or not, and had to use "find" at the command line to verify its presence (it HAD been added).
The console seems to have lost its memory. I am accustomed to being able to recall previously typed-in commands by using the up- and down-arrow keys...this feature is missing. But I guess this is part of the same problem which has already been described of (the missing) ability of moving the cursor about the screen with the arrow keys.

re: ntpdate Subject description: it works |

Rolf and others;
jamesbond's ntpdate does work but for some strange reason it wont unpack in GUI, you need to untar from the commandline:.Run that in the dir where you downloaded it and you can unpack.[ EDIT: Now fixed , will unpack in GUI] . Copy the binary only to /usr/sbin and psync will work.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gtkdialog
The following is for confident users of the commandline only:
For gtkdialog I'm going to clobber gtkdialog3 . Slacko has lived without gtkdialog3 for nearly a year now with minimal disruption. Some programs need patching and when I get my real Pi I will endeavour to do so.
1. Copy jamesbond's gtkdialog4 binary to /usr/sbin overwriting the current binary.
2. Backup gtkdialog3 Code: | mv /usr/sbin/gtkdialog3 /usr/sbin/gtkdialog3.bak | This gives us a get out of jail card
3. Link gtkdialog4 to gtkdialog3 (gtkdialog is already linked to gtkdialog4). Code: | cd /usr/sbin
ln -sf gtkdialog4 gtkdialog3
cd - |
4. Check that it all worked Code: | readlink /usr/sbin/gtkdialog3
readlink /usr/sbin/gtkdialog | Output should be gtkdialog4. If you get errors, retrace your steps.
Now gtkdialog4 will be used for all gtkdialog apps.
CAUTION: some apps may break.
The getout:(if you need a gtkdialog app that fails and can't fix it)
Code: | rm -f /usr/sbin/gtkdialog3
cp -af /usr/sbin/gtkdialog3.bak /usr/sbin/gtkdialog3
|
# retains backup
Have fun!

That is because in the spur of the moment I foolishly made and uploaded a "tar" file as "tar.gz", sorry
I have re-packed the archive and is now the correct "tar.gz". It should now open in the GUI. The rest of Micko's excellent instruction still applies .

Could be
When the keyboard is working in alpha2 I should be able to close down a tab in Chromium and continue (rogue tab not taking down the whole browser is one of the Chromium features). At the moment the screen mouse pointer is freezing in the 4th tab sometimes,
Also I have run more than 4 tabs in Chromium in Arch Puppi or my early Debian pre-alpha. So I think we will have further improvements . . .
Some great info from you Qemu guys

My ntpdate PET is here (40KB):
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/arm/pet_packages-armv6/ntpdate-4.2.6p5-armv6.pet
...however, that is included in alpha2, which is now available.
Puppy also has gtkdialog3, which is the old 0.7.20 version (prior to the project being taken up by thunor). Some scripts still use this old version. Alpha2 has the old gtkdialog3 fixed also.

I wonder if there is any way to configure Chromium to only open 3-4 tabs, no more?

Alpha2 available!!!
Blog announcement:
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02879
Regarding sound, this needs the snd-bcm2835 kernel module to be loaded. You can add this in the BootManager (System menu).
...after rebooting, well, we need to debug sound still.

The Raspberry has landed - in Alpha 2 on RPi hardware
Watching NASA TV (no sound) with Pup TV on Alpha 2
Changed icons OK and JWM setting
Text working OK - hooray
crashed when I ran video wizard (one of the options on the start up options)
also crashed when I plugged in USB webcam (no keydrive handy)
Clock is now persistent and only an hour out (rather than 40 years)
Being a quiche eater I want to change the wallpaper - will have to do that with the screen saver (icon top right) for now . . .
