smbclient is NOT SAMBA. it is one small feature. Subject description: We should try to not confuse those that use Puppy distros |
|
Hi @Runtt21. Thanks for looking at ths further for understandng.
Yes, I know about the SAMBA cleint. But that is only to support a Puppy network search package.
Thsi is NOT SAMBA, the package. Think of it like a library striped out of SAMBA to support another package created and used for PUPPY purposes.
SAMBA IS the abilty to share files from a Linux PC with other PCs on the LAN. It has a component SMBClient that support PC discovery on the LAN, but, that is only one of SAMBA's components. ONLY the Puppy distros I mentioned ship with SAMBA.
Being up-front with what's delivered will not diminish the quallity of your distto. But, information you provide to distrowatch will be more accurate. And, I, personally regard MACPUP as a quality distro.
Here to help

Hi - just a small something FYI - can't get Pfind to work.
Made sure I had not done something totally dim, like forgetting to mount the drives I was searching.
Tried to install the latest Pfind - but no go. That was as far as I got.
Tested all the other Precise derivatives, they were all ok, switched WM to JWM, but still no go.
Looked inside 529.sfs to see if anything obvious was missing (not that I really knew what I was looking for).
Anyway - just so you know. Best regards - Ray

Hi runtt21
Every time I asked Pfind to search for files or a file that I absolutely knew were on sda1 for example, it would respond saying, file not found.
However, I will try again, although BK has found file corruption in the latest Pfind pet. (although that may not be relevant here)
Will try some more and let you know what happens.
Thanks for checking - very best regards - Ray

from the roxterm :
Code: | PATTERN='name'
find /mnt/sda1 -iname "*${PATTERN}*" |
find should find hidden files . ls command needs -a or -A option to show hidden files .
-iname means "insensitive" while -name would be "case sensitive" .
A common feature of Window is i heard to accept insensitive user names for example .
The only case sensitive windows feature should be for passwds .
btw : ROX-Filer is set to start xterm->rxvt->urxvt, not roxterm when hitting "`" backtick .
( To change this : ROX-Filer Options > Menus > Terminal emulator program )

Status message after first reboot :
The shutdown went nice . The improvement suggested by me to rc.shutdown implemented by BarryK offer only greater than X in size savefiles seems to work correctly . The secure choice as root and ext3 worked installed frugal to folder on reiser-3.6 fs Macpup_O2 full install . Made 1GB save file . ( Small optical glitch at the end of it : should terminate the dialog by a clear >/dev/console . But thats not important now. )
Booted with all settings seemed saved correctly . e17 still is in german lang mode .
About Opera browser : Opera seems to automatically convert .xz and .pet files into .gz ones and corrupting these . Tried to adjust the MIME settings in Opera without luck :grrr: . Tried both : Save as and simply dl .
About Seamonkey : Seamonkey 2.4 and 2.8 did not start because of platform problems ( 2.4 = 7 | 2.8 = 11 and needs 13 ) . Installed http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/2.12b5/linux-i686/ 2.12b5 and this runs . Seamonkey has the same disordering in the preview as Firefox .
Firefox and Seamonkey dl correctly but still have the .pet problem at some ftp sites to render them in the window instead of opening the DL-Manager .

Compiling : BIG BIG PROBLEMS here with older sources >=2 years . A lot of them need to get CFLAGS="-lpthread -lrt -lm" LDFLAGS="$SAME" passed to ./configure .
(The main glibc sub libraries)
Bluez-4.85 compiled, but 4.75 already started to complain .
No bluetooth until now . Will have to check dbus since dbus is older than on Macpup-4 series (guessing the wary dbus) .

You should let BarryK know that will effect him too.

Tja, iconv.h is actually part of the libc6-dev_2.15-0ubuntu10_i386.deb
Pidgin needs
gstreamer0.10_0.10.36.orig.tar.bz2 [ compiled ]
gst-plugins-base0.10_0.10.36.orig.tar.bz2 [ compiled ]
farstream_0.1.2.orig.tar.gz
which needs libnice_0.1.1.orig.tar.gz [ compiled ]
BUT also needs
checking for headers required to compile python extensions... not found
configure: error: could not find Python headers
:CRY:
I am gaming a little hour or two before i check python

Karl, Sir , Thank you very much for your time and effort!! I need all the help I can get. I will look into the python stuff for the devx this week.
I have built an xchat.pet using the ubuntu packages. It works so far But I don't use irc so I don't know if all the functions work. It has all the dependencies included. 11 MB. It's in the macpup529 folder on my macpup page .
We have dropped back to #7 ar DW today . Thing should calm down this week and get back to normal. I should have a new theme or two and some other stuff by the end of the week.

MacPUP are the best ! Subject description: I will try 529 |
|
I see You have Xvidcap included. The russian version is perfect, with sound recording working. That is not the case of each Puppy, overall 528.
529 is not Lucid ? We could believe the contrary. I am working now with précise. This distro is OK.
But our dogs are so prolific, i cannot follow all the brand new issues. The next try will be Macpup.
Bonne nuit. Pelo

Please improve keyboard fr choice Subject description: Little bug in this matter |
|
Hello, fine Macpup, as always. 529 should make believe it's a new distro based on Lucid 529, instead of precise. Lucid has a big problem with sound.
I have beeng using Precise since a Week and it works perfectly, wifi and alsa, without repair.
Keyboard set fr at boot, but typing qwerty ! Nous les français on aime pas trop;
Il faut reconnecter la wifi au reboot, pas bon !
Precise do it well, what have you change ?
Tell us how to avoid these little bugs, generally you were better than the original distro !
