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 . . .

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.

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 . . .
