I just did a quick check in the PPM, and that package 'libegl1-mesa-drivers' is shown as a dependency.

That would mean you did not use the PPM properly?

After clicking on the 'cheese' package, you then click the "Examine dependencies" to get a list of all deps, then you install.
That one is installed but cheese still doesn't work so it must be something else causing the problem.

Oh, ok, sorry for suggesting that you didn't use the PPM properly. That's a mistake newcomers make, not clicking that "Examine dependencies" button.

I don't have time right now, but I will have a go at installing cheese this evening.

For the record can you describe in detail how you managed to get Google Chrome running in Tahr?
Have you tried Chromium?

It is in the Ubuntu repository. I just noticed it there, using the Quirky Package Manager, haven't tried it though.

I tried Chromium... it said:

Chromium can not be run as root.
Please start Chromium as a normal user. To run as root, you must specify an alternate --user-data-dir for storage of profile information.

I do not understand what to do. But I like to play and may solve.

Also after PPM install, it said 'gstreamer' was needed.
But I have service_pack-6.0.3_TO_6.0.4-tahr.pet installed, which was to add gstreamer.

EDIT:
Well I tried and it did not work:

Code: Select all

That one is installed but cheese still doesn't work so it must be something else causing the problem.

The hint as to the cause of the problem is given in the final window after installing, where it reports two libraries, libwayland-egl.so.1 included, as not being in the library search path.

Indeed they aren't, they are here:

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa-egl

To fix this, do this:

Code: Select all

# echo '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa-egl' >> /etc/ld.so.conf
# ldconfig

Then cheese will start. On my laptop though, it reports can't find any webcam.

I have fixed this problem so it won't happen with any other packages installed either. Edited /usr/local/petget/installpkg.sh and removepreview.sh. The fix will be in the next release.

This netbook has ati graphics but is using this driver if that makes a

Billtoo · #585 Post by **Billtoo** » Fri 14 Feb 2014, 14:11

I tried installing cheese on my desktop install using an usb webcam
and applying your fix from the previous message.
This desktop has ati graphics as well but is using a different driver
than the netbook, not modesetting but this:

0.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Oland [Radeon HD 8570 / R7 240 OEM]
oem: AMD ATOMBIOS
product: OLAND 01.00

X Server: Xorg Driver: vesa
X.Org version: 1.15.0
dimensions: 1920x1080 pixels (524x292 millimeters)
depth of root window: 24 planes

direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 256 bits)
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 10.0.1

Now cheese starts but I get the same result as you do on your laptop
so part of the problem on the netbook is the graphics driver.

lsusb shows this:
Bus 003 Device 006: ID 045e:00f7 Microsoft Corp. LifeCam VX-1000

It works not too badly in guvcview, a logitech usb webcam that I tried doesn't work well in guvcview.

OK, fixed, see blog post:
http://bkhome.org/news/?viewDetailed=00063

There was rather a lot to do, to get it all right, but the next release of Quirky Tahr (6.0.5), which should be out very soon, will (hopefully) have it all sorted out.

I followed the instructions but saved the file to /root/my-applications/rox1 and now 'Open Containing Folder' now works.

Quirky Tahr works with Gimp-painter

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=91074

____________________________________________________

However I couldn't get the Wacom tablet driver to compile
in Quirky Tahr. It would complain in terminal that XORG wasn't
installed and that dependencies of XORG needed to be installed.

I made a simple but effective reminder app.

Quirky Tahr 6.0.4
PPM install leave_1.12-2.1 from Ubuntu

man leave
http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/leave/

Quirky T2
I copied the leave binary from the Quirky Tahr to
/root/my-applications/bin/leave,
make it executable.

I did this because leave is only part of the Ubuntu packages.

And... this also works.

Use a text editor like geany,
copy the following into a file named 'WalkOn',
save it to 'my-applications',
and make it executable.
/root/my-applications/WalkOn

Bill

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# Walk ON the hour

# grrr 00-09 is octal, convert to base 10
#hour=$((10#`date +"%H"`))
# --or--
hour=`date +"%-I"` # - no padding, I 01..12, H 00..23

for i in 4 3 2 1 ; do
t=$(( ( hour + i ) * 100 ))
(( t >= 2400 )) && (( t = t - 2400 ))

exec urxvt -g 47x5-0+$((13*i)) +sb \
  -bg black -fg cyan \
  -w 0 -b 1 -bd green \
  -title "Take a Walk" \

Quirky Tahr 6.0.3 upgraded to 6.0.4
SeaMonkey 2.23

Previously I wrote how I enabled an external mail handler in SeaMonkey so I could use sylpheed to handle mailto links.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 596#757596

It worked in Quirky Tahr 6.0.4 that had been updated incrementally from Quirky Tahr 6.0.1, AND where I also copied the folder /root/.mozilla to the new system.

This time I did a clean install of Quirky Tahr 6.0.3 updated using:
service_pack-6.0.3_TO_6.0.4-tahr.pet
I did NOT copy the /root/.mozilla folder to it.

I went thru the same procedure to create the mailto handler. Clicking a mailto link would error saying something like 'no mailto handler found'.

Next I copied in the old /root/.mozilla, now the mailto handler works.

I have not isolated what is different.

Has anyone tried to setup an external mail handler in Quirky Tahr?

Bill

Yes, and strip it, it goes down to about 38K.

I am a slow learner and I just want to let you know that recent executable stripped is down to 17 k now.

Bill,
My SeaMonkey doesn't have a "file" under "Content type". It has various others: "ASX file", "BZ2 file", "GZ file", etc.

The busybox 'printf' applet might do an octal to base 10 conversion. It works like the C printf() function.

I used the service packs to update my Quirky Tahr install to 6.0.5,
updated the devx too.
Used PPM to install the Chromium web browser, it's working fine
running as user spot done with QuickSetup first-run settings.

What size partition?

I may have to introduce strict rules in the install scripts, not to allow installation into too-small drives/partitions.

For example, currently allowing 2GB min Flash drive, but that is just not usable.

I noticed one thing wrong. When running as root (not spot), the default download directory is supposed to be pre-set in
/file/portable/chromium/profile/Default/Preferences
to download to
/file/downloads

However, when I did a download, it defaulted to /root/Downloads

Quirky Tahr 6.0.5 is released.

As you can see from the above posts, some of the guys already know about this. That's probably because they are running Quirky Tahr, and as soon as they use the Package Manager, it reports upgrade Service Packs available.

Here is the release announcement:
