I have included your new version to the next Upup Precise update. To the rox right clicks included in it.

Yeah. My timetable does not enable to update all my versions at the same time.

But dpup exprimo has not been forgotten.

new version of extract_rpm

#82 Post by don570 »

A new version of extract_rpm...

I am now using 'exploderpm' rather than 'rpm2cpio'

It gives much better results. I also found that file-roller does a good
job of extracting rpm packages but only Exprimo seems to have it
installed, so I went with exploderpm

using puppy personal database v 0.6b

#83 Post by charlie6 »

Hi,
using forum member gposil's puppy personal database v 0.6b on Exprimo 3.6.2.1:
download here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=42480
I get the following problem:
- selecting in ppdb v0.6b Menu/Custom Databases/Puppy database creator gives a warning box: «TCustomForm.ShowModal impossible»;
- then xerr.lor reports:
(ppdb:20628): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated

(ppdb:20628): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated
TApplication.HandleException Access violation
Stack trace:
$B7403FAE
$081B2618
$0810116B
...
TCustomForm.ShowModal Visible=True Enabled=True fsModal=False MDIChild=False
TApplication.HandleException TCustomForm.ShowModal impossible
Stack trace:
$0805E776
$0805E34A
$082D934F
...
- Googling about that warning, have found this that could fix it, but i don't know how to do it :
here:https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu ... t-warnings
Many GNOME-based applications print the following to the console.
Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated
This is generally due to the form being created with an obsolete version of Glade.
The function gtk_adjustment_configure() is called from a glade element looking like "<property name="adjustment">0 0 999 1 10 10</property>"; the fix is to change the last value to zero, like "<property name="adjustment">0 0 999 1 10 0</property>".
Please help about how to change
"<property name="adjustment">0 0 999 1 10 10</property>"
...where to find it, to edit it...

Thanks for any advice
Charlie

using puppy personal database v 0.6b (continue)

#84 Post by charlie6 »

Hi,
in addition to the above post... as ppdb has been created half 2009, i went to install ppdb-0.6b.pet on a "fresh" ...«good old puppy 4.2» (read "pristine" install :) ):
result: :shock: puppybase creator runs OK on puppy-4.2 without error :D :D

my question: could one hope getting ppdb running on exprimo, the same way it seems running OK on puppy-4.2 ?

thanks for any answer !

Charlie6. I am not sure that the GtkSpinButton error message is the reason of the crash and error message.
If the ppdb would still be developed, I would ask the developer. Next thing. If there is possibility to get source code of ppdb in hands, compiling it in dpup exprimo might help and also there might be possibility to fix the source code.

Hi pemasu,
thanks for replying!
Developer, forum member gposil, is no longer reachable since 2010 :cry: , and his repo as well ... (hope he is doing well...).
So no hope then (except use on puppy4.2)

Wishes to you and your relatives for a
*~*#*@*&* Merry Christmas *~*#*@*&*,
as also for the Puppy Community !

[SOLVED =-)] running sqlitebrowser_2.0 from debian repo

#87 Post by charlie6 »

Hi Pemasu,
last edited: SOLVED 8) (i have adapted this post from original modifying and/or deleting the obsolete parts)
to get sqlitebrowser-2.0.0.b1 running on dpup-exprimo-3.6.2.1, have to be installed:
- sqlitebrowser_2.0.0~beta1+ds.1-3_i386.deb from debian repo wheezy (squeeze repo has only version 1.3) here:
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/ma ... 3_i386.deb
+
- libicu42_4.2.1-3_i386.deb from ubuntu repo (not found in debian repo), here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/i386 ... 42/4.2.1-3
(debian repo has only libicu44_4.4.1-8_i386.deb but using version 44, even created a version 42 symlink pointing to version 44 lib, sqlitebrowser reports "undefined symbols" when started from console)
+
- install qt4-4.8.0.pet from pets-dpup-exprimo repo only (only this pet has libQt3support in it !! Qt4-4.8.0.sfs has not...:shock:)
(trick: for those who prefer mounting .sfs files instead of install .pet files, just transform the pet into sfs using the right click option «Extract here» and «dir2sfs» to get the relevant sfs archive)
note: before being aware that other qt4-4.8.0.sfs archives from other pemasu's repo do not have libqt3support.so.4.8.0 in them, i got unsuccessfull trials running other versions of qt4 and libqt3support libs (4.6.3, 4.7.x or 4.8.2, even4.8.3, also coming from polarpup-005 - which version is 4.8.0...but compiled on a different kernel version - all resulted in an error message that might report an incompatibility of libqt3support with other Qt4 libs).
- For information: Sqlitebrowsers website
http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/
Hope this helps
Charlie

I upgraded pupmd5sum.sh to version 1.0

improvements

1) put in 'Saving to disk' Yaf-splash

2) The text file now will handle spaces in file name

SQLiteStudio-2.1.0 not running on dPup-Exprimo-3.6.2.1

#89 Post by charlie6 »

Hi,
please consider the latest SQLiteStudio-2.1.0 here:
http://sqlitestudio.one.pl/
to be downloaded here:
http://sqlitestudio.one.pl/files/free/s ... -2.1.0.bin
I have downloaded it in /; and launch just by click on it.
result: on a fresh (=pristine) dPup-Exprimo-3.6.2.1 and doing in a console, i get those error messages:
# ./sqlitestudio-2.1.0.bin
couldn't find procedure Itk_Init
while executing
"load [file join {/sqlitestudio-2.1.0.bin/lib/Itk3.4} libitk3.4.so] Itk"
("package ifneeded Itk 3.4" script)
invoked from within
"package require Itk 3.4"
invoked from within
"set ::PKG(Itk) [package require Itk 3.4]"
(file "/sqlitestudio-2.1.0.bin/lib/sqlitestudio/main.tcl" line 210)
invoked from within
"source /sqlitestudio-2.1.0.bin/lib/sqlitestudio/main.tcl"
("package ifneeded sqlitestudio 2.1.0" script)
invoked from within
"package require sqlitestudio"
(file "/sqlitestudio-2.1.0.bin/main.tcl" line 6)
#
I could not find libitk3.4.so on debian repo (only libitk3.3.so) .

Sqlitestudio-2.1.0.bin is said to be 32bit x86 linux compatible.
Also tested:
- on a fresh dPup-Exprimo-5X15: works OOTB !
- on a fresh uPup-Precise-5X45: works OOTB !
Any advice is welcome
Charlie

I just installed this Exprimo, really nice. Even runs a lot of software for Lucid, but not all.

dPup on a dell d830

#91 Post by Satori »

Nice job.

Installed dPup 3.6.2 on a Dell D830 with an nvidia NVS 140M (comparable to a 8400), and it runs fine after compiling NVidia's 310 driver.

The reason I choose dPup from all the other derivatives was:

a) Debian Squeeze, which is built from the new C compiler
b) A kernel that supports SMP
c) Video and Sound device support

My needs are to use 3rd party debian software, in particular, the Second Life client viewers and dPup runs it pretty well.

Hope you maintain support for dPup, as the debian people put a great deal of work in converting to 6.0 and this distro makes their efforts worthwhile.

So....I am clueless....
pemasu, I managed to get it loaded manually, but only once. Did first mod prob eeepc_laptop, and then modprob eee. It loaded, responded to commands, the folder was there. Rebooting and it's gone and modprob doesn't help anymore.
Hi pemasu,

The fan control issue has been solved, as I already mentioned. The reason it failed to work from the start, is because I lumped together and loaded all the modules that had an Asus name on it. Did some cleanup, removed what wasn't needed, like 'asus_oled' module and now it works perfectly well. It can be easily managed either from the terminal or via Micko's GUI app.

moreover, a survey of CPU temperature on various 54X7 and uPup3.7.2 vs dPup3.6.2 showed that this dPup3.6.2 keeps CPU the coolest 8) ( in powersave mode, tempicon background is most of time blue coloured => i.e. temperature = 40°C or lower )

Shutdown does not do a clean unmount

#95 Post by Satori »

Hiyas...

I'm not sure if this is dPup specific, but I've come to the conclusion that unmount of flash drives are not being performed properly at shutdown.

My system: Dell d830 with the following setup

sda1 : 800MB vfat partition used to boot the system
sda2: 14gb ext2 partition for the squeezesave file and data/apps directories
sdb1: 8gb ext2 partition for cache, temp and frequently written to directories
sdc1: 8gb pcmcia adapter for a Compact Flash adapter that holds a vfat SDHC card

Upon booting:

sda1 remains unmounted
sda2 becomes the dev_save device, with drive directories available under home
sdb1 and sdc1 are automaticly mounted


Upon Shutdown, the system hangs after the "Shutting Down"message appears on the console.
If sdc1 is unmounted manually before shutdown is attemped, then the shutdown completes fully.

If 'umount' of sdc1 is added to rc.shutdown, just after the Shutdown message, then it completes without hanging.

Without the manual unmounts or added umounts in the rc.shutdown, I find that fsck reports that all the sdb1 and sdc1 drives have not cleanly unmounted.

Booting with another minimum dPup flash drive that I use for recovery, it reports that sda2 (the save drive) has not been unmounted cleanly.

E2FSCK also reports that the squeezesave file itself has also not been unmounted cleanly.

The reason the umount is placed just after the Shutdown echo message is that it's the only place I found that didn't cause a hang, because sdc1 was still mounted.


I have a Dell C640 running dPup 5.X.15 (kernel 2.6) with a single flash drive:

sda1: 600MB vfat boot partition
sda2: 3.2GB ext2 partition for squeezesave and data/apps directories

A e2fsck of sda2 reports that it also was not unmounted cleanly after a shutdown.

I have a question to Pemasu to Xorg version in Exprimo:

On my new laptop Fujitsu T902 only Precise Puppy 5.4.3 and Upup 3.2.29 and 3.7.2. can works Xorg correctly.

In Exprimo 3.6.2.1. Xorg won't works, Vesa Running instead to first boot, But if I switch system to text mode (for example pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) screen blanks in a random color and I cannot see anymore anything.

Can I upgrade Xorg version form Exprimo ?

Thnx

Fabio

Fabio T, Xorg is much older version in Dpup Exprimo. Not the best one for newer comps. I think that upgrading xorg is quite big job. There isnt fully working updated xorg for exprimo. I did test the one from squeeze backports and I even built the test version. Unfortunately there were many missing xorg drivers. It wasnt possible to use it fully. I dont know why they provided that crippled version to test. Even working synaptics driver was missing.

So...I cant help with upgrading xorg. It is too big job for me.

Note to Pemasu:


.pot and .po files are essentially text files so they should have
right click menus like text files (I often open text files with leafpad)

RSH has a nice app that converts mo and po files

And fast too, seems to me solid !

I have only a (very very small) problem : google chrome or chromium don't work, don't simply start.
both pet or in sfs

I'm not a good specialist, but I tried to launch in a terminal :
# google-chrome
(nothing)
# chromium
Illegal instruction
#
here is my very very small problem, perhaps can you help me ?
Thanks to read me

Edit
