@oui: Keyboard layouts are provided by this package kbd-1.15.3-3-i686.pkg.tar.xz
I don't get typing errors, maybe you are using wrong keymap.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KEYMAP
There is problem with didiwiki connecting to localhost:8000, will try to fix that.

Hi Simargl
Thank you for the infos.
a: Keymap
I did find the solution: The line in /root/.start for setxkbmap has to be written in extended style! As follow:
| Code: | 01 #!/bin/sh
02 mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/home
03 imlibsetroot -p c -s f /usr/share/backgrounds/default.jpg &
04 setxkbmap -layout us -variant intl &
05 numlockx on &
06 if [ ! -f /usr/share/mime/globs ]; then update-mime-database /usr/share/mime; fi
07 if [ ! -f /etc/machine-id ]; then dbus-uuidgen > /etc/machine-id; fi
08 if [ ! -f /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache ]; then gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders 09 --update-cache; fi
10 mpg123 /usr/share/audio/login.mp3 &
11 sleep 2s
12 tint2 &
13 sleep 2s
14 conky &
15 volumeicon &
16 sleep 5s
17 didiwiki &
18 ifconfig lo up &
19 rdate -s tick.greyware.com
20 exit |
See pls lines 02, 04 and 17/18 !
Consult the doc /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst .
b: Sound level
I would be interesting to enter in line 15 a noise level (because I use a earphone and the noise level can really be excessive at starting point. is that possible?
rgds
Note1: you did use a different writing to name the iso and the sfs! It generates writing errors ...
Note2: concerning line 02, a dir /mnt/home would be needed in the archpup-1212.sfs and each user has to enter is own partition number!
Why an "home" directory?
You can for example prepare in the archpup-1212.sfs a /root/.history with following content:
| Code: | cd /mnt/home/archpup
mkdir install
cp -a /initrd/pup_ro2/* /mnt/home/archpup/install
mv /mnt/home/archpup/archpup-1212.sfs /mnt/home/archpup/archpup-1212.last1
mksquashfs install archpup-1212.sfs -comp xz -b 524288 -Xbcj x86
pacman -Ss > PackageList.txt
pacman -Ss browser
pacman -Sfd mtpaint
pacman -Syu |
and have in ready-to-use form prepared actions for important steps to adapt the system...
nothing to do else as "cursor up" and return, or very little changes
etc. ...

Alsa sound levels are saved on reboot to file /etc/asound.state. If you want to remaster iso
with new audio levels just copy that file to new rootfs, or use alsactl store to update.
I see you install mtpaint, for me only image editor needed is http://pixlr.com/
edit: to connect localhost:8000 type this first in terminal
That should start automatically with rc.sysinit and will be fixed for new releases.

new version is very good
when I do packer -Sy it updates the databases for AUR but refuses to find any package in AUR that I search for
e.g.
packer -S mangler
doesnt work after updating databases with:
packer -Sy

To search also in AUR run this first | Code: | | update-ca-certificates |
That needs perl so either load archdev.sfs or install perl with pacman. Good luck

Hi simargl,
Having more and more fun with archpup. As i'm running arch on some systems, i don't have 'cultural problems' with archpup.
One suggestion: maybe include a basic browser like links or dillo in the base so people could search for help (if they have a connection) without much fiddling. Or did i miss one?

thanks, have you tried installing chromium or iron-bin?
they have strange errors in startup, even after specifying a data-dir

very well!
but I now have to learn more (how to shrink my photos to reduce them from 1..2 Mb > 100 kB, and eventually cut a part of the view!)
but really interesting!
you don't have a not installable webbrowser ($ wget url.php?mode=funny.browse) from net and how to link «browser» from puparch menu with it ?
| Quote: | | edit: to connect localhost:8000 type this first in terminal |
I confirm, it works...

PS: Archpup.AMD64, after this wonderful Archpup.i686-1212when will he be available ?

Hi
Freesbee also doesn't work... Or I don't know how to use it...
Anyway... Any small size alternative on arch/aur repos?
And any small battery icon for the tray?

After some quick search in AUR, I can suggest this two:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/connman-git/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wpa_auto/
You can get battery info with conky...
edit:@mavrothal: Can this be incorporated in /usr/sbin/usbsave, because that script
is called from /sbin/reboot or /sbin/poweroff before rc.shutdown, this way looks like
it would be saving same thing twice.

added in /root/.start, it works and nothing more to do ...
but there already are now a lot of tricks in both archpup thread. I think it will be useful to write an help file or a wiki page accessible through http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Archpup to find later the stuff again and if possible in an helpful order!
Concerning localhost:631, no contact possible. The error mssg in Firefox is not expressive. In Links2 it says "connection refused" but it is the only one Linux of more as 10 I have on the hard disk where this happens...
Next thematic:
Is there possible to cleanly bind (start the binding of) a SFS file (for ex./especially LibreOffice / jre for it) through the /root/.start (or other way) if no save file is used (my case: I will no SFS-file...). I actually use a symbolic link from a subdir in /mnt/home/myGoodies/LibreOffice to /usr/lib but, of course, it doesn't adapt the menu etc... so it is something subject to give problems because nobody find this again in the system! only I myself, if I do not forget it ...

OK. Here is a version that works without usbsave (and the calls to it)
Just make sure that you do not remove /tmp in rc.shutdown and you add the call to snapmergearchpuppy. ie rc.shutdown looks like this: | Code: | #!/bin/sh
echo -n "" > /var/log/messages
rm -rf {/root/{.adobe,.cache,.macromedia,.thumbnails},/var/log/X*}
exec snapmergearchpuppy
clear
exec 1> /dev/null 2>&1
...
...
|
Latter To make it simpler the attached archsnap.tar.gz has all the required changes.
Just extract it and copy the contents at the root of your archpup filesystem

Going into the tint config file and setting autohide to 1 helps a lot, but you have to increase the autohide border
