I updated the servicepack for Muppy 005 again.
It includes basically internal fixes, also corrects the 3DCC.

I will create Muppy 006 this weekend with all fixes included.

Hey MU,
my problem with the language-selection at start may come from my remaster of muppy-5 (with kde, scribus etc.) I will try to make a new und proper one.

Hey MU,
i made a check, everything works now - only the german language not (umlaute). when i do a Muppylocale i got an error. /root/.gtkrc.mine -unexpexted identifier "gtk-icon-theme-name", expected keyword - e.g. `style. After resseting i have to chose a language when muppy starts up

the language-selection is in /etc/rc.d/rc.muppy2:

ahh, and set a unicode-font in "styling" - Gtk-themechooser (on the desktop).
You can use bitstream vera.

This should be set by my dotpup however...

pakt: Whilst the purists wrestle with detail, glad to note that I get TWO sets of two barks AND music - wunderbar! Actually, this is extremely helpful as a guide to soundcard problems - or not.
Being a bit of a wag myself, decided to d/l some 'bark' sound files with a view to incorporating them into a serial port or wireless link to my doorbell.

MU great work, thanks. There is real use for a grown up puppy.

As others have reported, MUT and Pmount do not work on my homebrew sempron 2400 with 1Gb ram. (Automounting would be nice.)

Open Office - I downloaded the file previously and it is still there in /mnt/home but Open Office installer insists on downloading it again.

Gnucash - could you, or some else please consider packaging this. It's a serious accounting program - as distinct from a cheque book manager.

DVDtool - this requires each VOB file to be separately processed. If they all could be selected and the output to one file I could throw out DGIndex. which I use to extract sound from DVD's. or remastering
DVD tool is better as it can go straight to a 44.1k wav or MP3 so the multiple selection would make it a winner.

DVD::RIP - Could this be considered too please.

Hallo again,
Mu i changed the line in rc.muppy2, the language-settings at startup disappears. ok. thats done. but still no german umlaute. i have no /mnt/home/pup_save...
My Muppy-Version is on an flash-ide-drive (it is very quick), called /dev/hdd.

i have a remasterd cd too. i will try this with your servicepack.

Open Office

In Muppy 005, it must be called OpenOffice-2.04_212.sfs, as 005 is based on Puppy 2.12.
Important is "_212.sfs" in the end.
If it is different, it will not be mounted automatically after the next reboot.

Concerning the MUT-issue:
I could not burn a CD yet, hope I can do it tomorrow.
Maybe then I can reproduce the error.

Concerning the other programs, are there dotpups already? If not, please request them in the additional softwareforum Smile

-------
vabene, if you installed on a flash-drive,, is the pup_save.3fs on the same drive?
Maybe for this reason you have no /mnt/home?
Then I must modify the check for such a case.

Can you please post the content of your file:
/etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE

Hallo Mu,

tested a little more, but i can not write german umlaute. But i can read them? Maybe there is something with the keyboard?
Here is my pupstate
PUPMODE=13
PDEV1='hdd'
DEV1FS='vfat'
PUPSFS='pup_212.sfs'
PUPSAVE='vfat,hdd,/pup_save.3fs'
PMEDIA='ideflash'
SATADRIVES=''
#these directories are unionfs layers in /initrd...
SAVE_LAYER='/pup_ro1'
PUP_LAYER='/pup_ro2'

thanks vabene, this will help me to optimize the script Smile

To write german, you must choose german keyboardlayout.
If you did not do it at first start, it is in Setup - Mouse/Keyboardwizard.

To test rox, you could do this:
extract this file in /root/:

http://dotpups.de/tests/Umlaut-test.tgz

Then click on the home-icon on your desktop to open /root in Rox.
Now you should see a file testäöü.txt

I just see, the Umlaut-issue is not solved yet so good.
First, you must not run setrox1 from a consolewindow, as the consolewindow supports no UTF-8. Rox would "inherit" the no-UTF settings from the console.
I simply draged both scripts on my desktop from /usr/local/bin , that works.

Second:
If I create testäöü.txt in XFileExplorer, it is displayed correct in Rox1 and Rox2.
But if I create such a file in leafpad or geany, only Rox2 shows it correct, in Rox1 I get strange characters (picture):

So more tests are required, without a guarantee to find a final solution with rox1 Confused

in my dotpup handler script, i needed to put this line in the script to prevent something from converting utf8 to the default charset:

export OUTPUT_CHARSET="utf-8"

i don't know if that would help your problem or not
