LibX11 bug:
http://bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00347

Newest 1.6.2 libX11 source with Barry`s fix already included. No need to patch it manually anymore:
EDIT: It seems the developer sent the patch for Barry to test and he incorporated his own patch after confirmation it fixed the bug which is nowadays mainly Puppies problem:

Code: Select all

XkbClientMapPtr map;
    int size = xkb->max_key_code + 1;

    if (((unsigned short) rep->firstKeySym + rep->nKeySyms) > size)
        return BadLength;

    map = xkb->map;
    if (map->key_sym_map == NULL) {
        register int offset;
        XkbSymMapPtr oldMap;
And here it is as my compile. With just --prefix=/usr
http://smokey01.com/pemasu/Temp/DpupWheezy/

Have fun with testing.

Htop from debian main repo. Yeah. Jwm does not launch console based apps straight.

You will need htop hack.

/usr/share/applications/htop.desktop
Exec=/usr/bin/urxvt -e htop

In console: fixmenus
Restart jwm

Done.

Pemasu, Musher0

Before you get so mad at me :lol: (kidding), I took Leafpad as an example. The keyboard layout bug is global, for all programs I get a US keyboard. I'm sorry, maybe I don't know how to express myself. Moreover, as you guys said this is meant for testing, I'm not being negative at all.

PlayonLinux

#526 Post by Schpankme »

I've installed Package: playonlinux (4.1.1-1) [contrib], the install and dependencies took awhile and went without error.

Problem: no PlayonLinux icon within menu, and no-way of running the app.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi, pemasu.

Many thanks. I'll try that on an "Obstinate Imperial Poodle" Puppy (insider's name; "OIP" for short) :twisted: and see what happens.

BFN.

Vicmz. You should test that bug fixed libX11 I posted about. There is link.
Your problem could be something else of course, but first you need to update libX11.
And restart X.

Playonlinux. Python application. Root user check, dont play with root account if you dont comment those checking rows in 2 files. There is how to pages in net.
But it complains about not finding python2.6. Dpup Wheezy has 2.7.

Best way to debug applications is to launch them in console and check what error messages stops the launching.

And Python application. I wont start to debug them. I just hate Python. If Python app does not find Python, it is as I usually have found Python do. It just is so strange. Too many folders full of Python scripts scattered around filesystem. it is not wonder that Python does not find itself.

Playonlinux is really slow in anyway....:)

Hi, vicmz.

> The keyboard layout bug is global, for all programs I get a US keyboard.

I hate to be the one to tell you, :) but this is a characteristic of the
keyboard: computers, by default, come with ONE keyboard... :D

Enough joking.

What does

Code: Select all

ls -ogh /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/es
say?

i.e. do you have the keyboard map for your language?
Does Argentine use the same es as Spain?
Canada uses cf or qc, and France uses fr, but it's the same language.

What does the following say?

Code: Select all

#!/bin/ash
# $MBINS/CheckKeyboardLayout.sh
# Purpose : validate a keyboard layout
# Objectif : valider une disposition de clavier
# musher0, 16 nov. 2013.
####
clear
echo "     ~~~~~~~~~~"
echo "This script checks that the keyboard type chosen in the Wizard is valid in xorg.conf."
echo "/ Ce script vérifie que le type de clavier choisi est valide dans xorg.conf."
echo "     ~~~~~~~~~~"
echo
grep -B 5 -A 3 XkbLayout /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sleep 2s
echo "     ~~~~~~~~~~"
echo "   Compare(r) with / avec"
echo "     ~~~~~~~~~~"
echo
setxkbmap -print
echo
echo "     ~~~~~~~~~~"
echo "The two types should correspond. /" 
echo "Les deux types devraient correspondre."
echo "     ~~~~~~~~~~"
echo
The first is taken from xorg.conf, the second is setxbmap's "under-
standing" of it. You should find the same elements in both listings
(but not in the same order, obviously). Then your keyboard will work
properly.

If necessary, insert your proper language code by hand by editing /etc/
X11/ xorg.conf.

I hope this helps.

BFN.

Installing Bluetooth or Blueman packages under dPup 3.5.2.8 causes X server to fail when
the machine is rebooted. And xorgwizard fails when reusing the Nvidia 331.20 driver.

When the Devx sfs is loaded before the reboot and after the Bluetooth install, then
the machine boots correctly. Unloading the devx after the boot, hangs the unload

Another machine had Blueman installed under dPup 3.5.2.7, and aside of a bad Service
startup message, it seems to work and has no need of the devx sfs file.

I'll dig more into trying to get Blueman installed correctly, but is a 3.5.2.8 library that the
Nvidia or X Server depends on, being stepped on by the Blueman/Bluetooth packages?

Thank you guys. Maybe I gave the impression of being a crybaby who weeps at his broken toy, how embarrassing. :oops: I think Musher0 thought of me as an evil troll who wants to irritate everyone, you know like "nothing works! everything svcks! let's use windows! dadada!" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Please take it easy. :D

Now for good, the libX11 works. Thank you again, Pemasu & everyone.

Vicmz. Thank you of the confirmation of the fix created by updated libX11. I havent noticed any side-effects from using it.
I will update the libX11 to the next woof compatible Dpup Wheezy update.

Is there a recommended fglrx-driver-pet for Dpup Wheezy 3.5.2.x?

I've tried "amd_fglrx-13.4-x86_precise_3.2.44.pet", this will not work properly in full screen YouTube videos (video lag spikes).

Just testing out dpup now.. nice.

Had troubles with X not starting (radeon).. even after a reboot and using xorgwizard :?

Anyway, solved that by installing amd_legacy.

Code: Select all

# lspci -nn | grep VGA
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS780L [Radeon HD 3000] [1002:9616]
I have a script for it that works in slacko so I adapted it for dpup, only needed 1 small patch.

Not that I know of so if you are adventurous you can try my script. You need to know what card you have.

Code: Select all

lspci -nn | grep VGA
Run that in a terminal and go to http://support.amd.com/en-us/download and find out which driver you need, new or legacy. Don't download it!. My script does that. Make sure there is over 500M free in your pupsave. Backup your pupsave.. That way if something tragic happens you can recover. Don't hold me responsible. It's best to run the script outside the pupsave because if you have the newer card it will run out of space. By the way, in wheezy I only tested the older driver, I have no clue if the newer one will work. (Does in Slacko, but that is a totally different kernel/Xorg ... YMMV). Read backup!

Download the attached script unpack it and run it inside it's folder in a terminal.

Code: Select all

./amd_BuildPet.sh
Read carefully the text. Choose L (legacy) or F (later model).

Cross your fingers and read all messages. If it errors, restore the pupsave that you had (you can manually uninstall but its messy), if it succeeds follow the instructions.

Good luck!

devx and kernel sources need to be loaded

OK.. Schpankme, thanks for trying.

I'll insert my HD5000 cedar and give it a go and try to find the right patches/driver combo for you.

Yes, the legacy will build ok but wont run on newer cards. Don't delete the newer driver though, as the script will detect and use it if it's there, so when I come up with a revision (maybe tomorrow, no promises) just drop that file into the new folder and go for it.
