tahrpup 6.0, 6.0.2 & 6.0.5 CE

[backi]

Thanks for your reply starhawk .
But there is not much to say.
Can not burn Videos with Pburn .
Works in all other Puppys for example Precise .
Tried to burn Video (option Burn Video) to a rewritable DVD .
Could not burn it
Says "ffmpeg must be installed to burn Audio and convert Video" .
Dependency check with Pburn no ffmpeg.

Did install ffmpeg but ......
Error output:

.no luck.
Just want to know if someone else encountered this problem or maybe its just on my system .

Hello, backi.

I had the same problem with no ffmpeg on, lxpuptahr-14.12.1-pae, and the only thing that didn't work, OOTB, was burning an audio CD with pburn. I fixed that by unpacking ffmpeg into /usr/bin; I found it here>
http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/

extract> ffmpeg-git-20150107-32bit-static.tar.xz to usr/bin

*extract the individual files there, not them in the "ffmpeg" folder.

Hope this helps,
festus

Hi festus !

Thanks for your advise but i dont know how to handle this .
Downloaded ffmpeg-2.5.3.tar.bz2 extracted it ...no plan what to do .
Apart from this .....like Tahr pup a lot.....but this issue must be solved from the root.
Means must somehow implemented in an update.
Just my opinion.
Thanks....
looking further for ideas !

[festus]

Hi, backi

Download this one>
http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/builds/ ... tic.tar.xz

Open it with pupzip or any archive app and extract the individual files in it to usr/bin. If for some reason it extracts the indiv files to a folder, just select each file in the folder, cut them out and paste them in /usr/bin.

Then open a terminal and type ffmpeg and see if it is installed and working.

You'll get it...

Cool festus ......working fine !
Thanks a lot !
But should be implemented in the iso....

Blessings !

Only throwing ffmpeg into /usr/bin (without the rest) seems working well.
Not so much mgbytes.

not really a bug but i am goin to post here cuzz it bugs me "just my opinion don't take it to heart you are doin great work and i highly appreciate it "

Why is Qt included in the first place?
Is it included just for vlc?
If so there are smaller alternatives that do not require Qt and others that can be compiled with static Qt.

if vlc must be included you could use LD_LIBRARY_PATH
example

Code: Select all

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/share/vlc:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH  vlc

then you could include only needed Qt libs in /usr/share/vlc
would be best to compile vlc in /opt and then use LD_LIBRARY_PATH

how i feel is if Qt is included it should be used by more then one app.
ya might as well have a DE, video player, music player and so on that uses Qt.

hi scabz,

i chose vlc over an mplayer based media player because i've had problems in the past with audio going out of sync on various setups. shinobar built a vlc for tahrpup without QT but i didn't want a hobbled media player so went with the full version.

although vlc is the only QT app in tahrpup, there's quite a few apps in quickpet that use it and it's nice that they can run without an extra QT.sfs, also now i've added some missing stuff to the devx ... so QT apps now compile!
the new devx for 6.0 has been uploaded replacing the old one.

i do have a request though if you're up for it? a QT5 5.2.1 .sfs (with dev files) for the tahrpup repo.
i would prefer it if it installed to the same locations as the ubuntu qt5 packages ...ie not /opt

cheers

I have had exact same issues with vlc.

libass4_0.10.1 is included but libass-dev_0.10.1 is missing from the devx, i haven't checked the updated devx yet.

Sure i could complie QT5 5.2.1 , just give me a few days.

[666philb]

I have had exact same issues with vlc.

libass-dev isn't in the devx ..... there's probably quite a few things that should be in there and aren't, i'll add it to the tahrpup DISTRO_PKG_SPECS so future builds will include it.

@666philb

Code: Select all

# /usr/bin/qmake
qmake: could not find a Qt installation of '' 

here got also that same message while compiling a Qt app (i.e. canorus music score editor
http://sourceforge.net/projects/canorus ... 2/download )

...now understanding why here could'nt get it to compile ...!

note: Ubuntu's repo canorus archive (downloadable via PPM) does not run properly (hangs up or segfaults upon simple GUI selections); that's the reason why i got a try to complile it on Tahr-6.0PAE.

Thanks for all your works !

hi, i am using tahr-6.0-CE_PAE.iso kernel-3.14.20 with USB-DVD-Drive.

when i start VLC from DVD-Drive-icon(Left-Bottom), a "0" file is created in /root directory.

probably in /usr/bin/vlc1 ,

Code: Select all

while [ $# > 0 ]; do

causes this.

Code: Select all

while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do

is correct ?

f2fs for internal partition ssd drive
Grub4dos don`t see that file system
How can I do bootable Puppy with f2fs?

[scabz]

666philb i had to recompile my nvidia drivers for tahrpup 6.0.2, the drivers i compiled for 6.0.1 caused issues and needed a recompile.

just letting you know

Tahr is an excellent distr and functions very well however, there is a 'quirk' in mine that I would like someone to explain if they can?

Started shortly after I made a full install of Tahr to the HDD.

A 'noticeable CLICK' through the speakers not so much noticeable if the speakers are turned down to normal sound output. I happened to have the volume turned up one day and the clicks started, I left the volume up just to listen and see if I could determine what that click was. One day while doing this and listening I HEARD SOME GUY'S VOICES IN THE BACKGROUND... this only ever occurred ONCE and lasted only a few seconds but it certainly got my attention... This only happened one time but for sure, this shouldn't be!!!

This CLICK ONLY happens in Tahr an not in any other distro's Puppy or otherwise. I run all on the same HDD, same computer and yes, the clicks are still there just like clock-work, 'every TWO MINUTES' to be exact.

Can anyone anyone explain what's going on here???

Minor thing, in case it has not already been mentioned - there's no pupdial .desktop file in /usr/share/applications, thus no menu entry either. Easy enough to make one myself, but just thought I'd mention it.

Otherwise, this updated Tahrpup 6.0.2 is truly excellent - taking everything I'm haphazardly throwing at it in stride, so far. Great work, Phil!!

that was the last thing i wanted! i'll need to rethink the driver section on quickpet

no clicks here .... are you getting this if you boot live?

[scabz]

in my experience as a musician clicks are normally caused these days by people having the cell phone 2 close to the PC or Amp and unshielded speaker cables/wires.

As a test make sure your cell is far away from you pc and check to see if any cords with power running through them are not crossing the speaker cables/wires.

then check for clicks and such.

Fresh disk of Tahr-6.0

Booted live: Puppy pfix=ram

'No Clicks!'

Looks like the click is coming from something in an installed program in Tahr then... We will have to start from scratch, new savefolder, install one program at a time to see where the culprit is (could be a malware snuck in?)... It's going to take quiet awhile, I have a ton of stuff along with updates already in the full-install so a big headache for sure!

'Thanks for the tip phil'

@scabz:
Thanks for the response but a cell-phone or wires isn't the problem here... appreciate that though!

i would look for any auto starting apps you don't recognise in ...

/root/Startup
/root/.config/autostart
/etc/init.d (compare to whats on the iso)
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
and maybe
/etc/cron.daily
/etc/cron.weekly
