DebianDog - Wheezy

[fredx181]

lsusb |grep -i audio

Command 'lsusb' is not found, that's because package "usbutils" is not installed, so install it first:

Code: Select all

apt-get update
apt-get install usbutils

Fred

Thanks, Fred.
I use DD-Squeeze most of the time while posting here and usbutils is included there. I forget sometimes Wheezy does not have exactly the same packages installed.

Hi, Fred.

Repository updated with latest gsu in Updated section and only smaller mpv available for installing with apt-get. Fixes post information changed:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 368#776368
If you like something to be changed in the information or in repository structure or inside sections I will do it.

Hi All,

See for YouTube-Get (A simple YouTube downloader application I made), in the 'Utility' thread:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 586#831586

Toni, please test when you have time.
I also added script "m-play" + menu item "Play with MPlayer" for playing a video from a file or a YouTube url with mplayer or mpv.
But maybe it fits better in another package, like gnome-mplayer-1.0.7 or/and mpv.
Also there's "youtube-get-xterm" script in /usr/local/bin which displays the progress in an xterm window.

Very nice utility, Fred, thanks

I also added script "m-play" + menu item "Play with MPlayer" for playing a video from a file or a YouTube url with mplayer or mpv.

I don't think it is good idea to edit included packages if there is easier way than upgrading package version. What do you think about separate m-play deb package with mplayer | mpv as dependency? I think it is fine to keep it in youtube-get with mplayer | mpv dependency. youtube-get might need modding to use uxterm and adding more dependencies anyway.
There is a problem with youtube video files names. Good testing example are these (the first link works fine in youtube-get):

Fix one is installing locales, setting up with dpkg-reconfigure locales and starting youtube-get from uxterm.
Maybe adding locales as dependency or recommended package will be a solution.

Fix two is adding /etc/default/locale without installing locales:

Code: Select all

#  File generated by update-locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

and starting youtube-get from uxterm.
Note Jwm version has /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8.gz and it is missing in OpenBox. I guess when I added this file you missed my post:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 330#765330
I'm not sure fix two is good solution. I would go with adding locales as dependency or recommended package for youtube-get.

I will try to test more in the next days.

Edit: Just as example for fix two (without installing locales in Jwm version) starting youtube-get from uxterm:

Code: Select all

HaHa!

Thanks for thoroughly testing Toni!
I knew I overlooked something, Hmm.. locales..., russian.
I'm trying out some workaround now without having to install locales.
For your third example I got it working, the filename would be then "MarinaDevyatovaKatyusha.mp4", by removing all multibyte characters.
But your second contains only russian, so this way it became just .mp4, need to work on that to make it maybe become only the video ID, like "oS7j8O96vGc.mp4" which would be a compromise.
Get back later.
I had at first all names like that (video ID) but I changed it to the title name (with it's consequences ) .

For the 2nd video the ID name is used (with short displaying message)
The 3rd shows as filename only the english part of the title.

Attached new youtube-get

Maybe what you proposed is best, but I think it's complicated, you can't just run it from the menu.

Edit: Removed youtube-get from here, see for a .deb package with latest changes here:

Hi, Fred.
It is fine this way if you ask me. Even if you make it to use video ID for every download will be OK.
My fix two (without installing locales) is not good solution because it changes locale file content and because it needs running youtube-get in uxterm every time.

Hi Fred,

Just wondering if you are sure the code is GPL? I think I know the original outline is from Dr. Mark Humphrys as a student exercise at Dublin City University. Aside from the yad additions and translation of small percentdecode perl script to bash I think its important, if we can assume GPL, to give credit to Mark, at least, for the general idea? Especially since you are publishing the code.

Certainly nice to have a yad frontend to that and general improvements re locales you are working on. Just hope youtube format doesn't change for a while!

William :-)

William,
You are absolutely right, I should have mentioned the source.
Edited my post in the Utility thread:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 586#831586
The most valuable for me was the script from here:
http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/ ... be_videos/
(which refers to Dr. Mark Humphrys idea)
Added also info about source on top of script and in description in DEBIAN/control file
Also please see my Edit2 and check out new uploaded .deb
To be honest I don't know much about GPL, how can I know the code is GPL?

Thanks for the feedback!

Toni,

It is fine this way if you ask me. Even if you make it to use video ID for every download will be OK.

Yes, it could by fine if there was no better way, I found it by checking for non-printable characters and only in that case fallback to the video ID name.
Setting up locales to any default language works for me with russian characters, no need to restrict running in uxterm
Added to control: Recommends: locales and Depends; gnome-mplayer-1.0.7 | mpv | mplayer
Indeed let's keep it with included m-play, if you agree.
New .deb here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 586#831586

And thanks again for testing and your suggestions about locales.

EdIt: Just found another bash script "youtube-downloader.sh" here:
https://gist.github.com/oliveiraev/2992029
How compact can it be!
It needs as argument only the video ID e.g. RxkjBin8mOs
Downloads highest available quality.

Hi,
How do you install mpv?

I tried the followings:

Code: Select all

apt-get update

dpkg -i mpv_0.8.0dd_i386.deb
# It gives the following errors:
#  dpkg: error processing mpv (--install):
#   dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
#  Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ...
#  Processing triggers for hicolor-icon-theme ...
#  Processing triggers for mime-support ...
#  Errors were encountered while processing:
#   mpv

apt-get -f install
# apt-get displays that it will remove mpv, which doesn't make sense. Here is what it displays:
# The following packages will be REMOVED:
#  mpv

Edit: I was booting in "DebianDog live-boot v3 live (no save)" of "DebianDog-Wheezy-openbox_xfce.iso".

Such a outcome as you have is mostly caused by that the package list is not updated.

Btw, you could have done just:

apt-get install mpv

But now that you installed with dpkg -i (it's a broken package now=not completely installed), before install do:

Hi Fred,

Sorry, my bad. I did comment out earlier deb-multimedia repository from the /etc/apt/sources.list.

Code: Select all

#deb ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free

I reinstated the repository and did "apt-get update && apt-get install mpv". It is now installed correctly.

For the record, if you commented out deb-multimedia repository, you will get the following error if you tried to install mpv.

Code: Select all

apt-get install mpv

That's good. The only reason I commented about it was that youtube downloaders are of big interest generally and I feel that DebianDog may be of bigger interest also than Toni or yourself may imagine. Such a small Debian system is, I feel very up and coming and likely to be of interest to many. I could imagine the underlying script authors being upset if they came across the DD thread and weren't mentioned in regards to this utility.

I note that the underlying bash script writer 'alcaitiff' doesn't note any license, which in any case would probably be determined by the original version by Dr. Mark Humphrys. However, I can't find any record so far via google of the 2011 version he said he wrote, so maybe he didn't state a license to use either, which is a pity since having no license muddies the waters a bit in terms of permissions to further develop the code, though I am sure there is no problem. At least in giving credit where credit is due the basic code author(s) will surely be happy, which is good since it is a nice and very useful utility that you have further enhanced, and no perl nor python required - excellent!

William

Hi, Fred and all.
youtube-get added in DD repository and is available for installing with apt-get or synaptic after running apt-get update first. Keeping m-play included is fine. It is youtube related script and it is best to keep it in youtube-get.
I added gmplayer-portable as alternative in control file to make it compatible with DebianDog-Squeeze also (Squeeze has gmplayer-portable already included).
We can replace the package if more improvements or fixes are availble in the future.

I've had a conversation in email with the author of infinality, bohoomil. He tells me that it is not necessary to patch the source of libfontconfig, however the "fontconfig-infinality" font configuration files under /etc/fonts are necessary. But these are just xml .conf files (and one shell script), not binaries. The only function of the patches which bohoomil was formerly supplying, was just to create the .conf files and shell script. They did not modify the libfontconfig binary. Nowadays he supplies these .conf files and shell script separately.

It is, however, necessary to patch libcairo; without a patched libcairo you do not have infinality ---this is confirmed by bohoomil. So, the infinality packages you see offered for Wheezy which lack a patched libcairo are just libfreetype with bytecode interpreter (bci) hinting turned on. They are not really "a taste of infinality".

Hopefully, I can post a set of preliminary .deb's by the end of this week, which do not need anything else added and which match the version numbers of libfreetype and libcairo2 provided by Wheezy. I have them both compiled, but I want to do some testing and maybe preliminary configuration setup first.

[saintless]

Thank you, Keisha!
Again - work on this when you have time only.
The packages you make for DebianDog-Wheezy will be compatible with standard Debian-Wheezy and useful for much more people not registered in this forum.

Toni

[anikin]

I've had a conversation in email with the author of infinality, bohoomil.

Just a pedantic clarification:
bohoomil is a prominent persona in the fonts scene, but he is not the author of infinality, infinality is.

If it isn't already obvious, I've not had the drive and dedication recently to continue work on this project. I still demand awesome font rendering, but think that maybe I've done my contribution thus far and would like to turn it over to someone who will at least take care of bugfixes and patching cleanly to new versions of freetype.

most probably, bohoomil will take up the torch: http://www.infinality.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=350

I have them both compiled, but I want to do some testing and maybe preliminary configuration setup first.

and before and after screenshots, maybe?

***UPDATE: Toni has transformed my initial, Debian-novice first-try packages into ones which conform to the Debian package database architecture, so use his install procedure instead; it is at http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 727#832727***

download: http://www.datafilehost.com/d/04d7437e
3.44 MB

sha1sum infinality-wheezy.tar.gz
66959b2cf186f58fd1944f794e51f7403cf091d4 infinality-wheezy.tar.gz

The download includes before and after screenies.

Install in this order:

1. infinality-etc-fonts.tar.gz...font configuration files for infinality.
--unpack this in its own subdirectory, for example /tmp/unpacked-etc-fonts-infinality
--use ROX-Filer to rename existing directory /etc/fonts to /etc/fonts--original
--make a new subdirectory /etc/fonts and copy the contents of /tmp/unpacked-etc-fonts-infinality into it.
--in other words, there should now be subdirectories
/etc/fonts/conf.avail
/etc/fonts/conf.avail.infinality
/etc/fonts/conf.d
and files fonts.conf and fonts.dtd

--there is a configuration script,
/etc/fonts/conf.avail.infinality/fc-presets.
To use it, in a terminal window run

Code: Select all

/etc/fonts/conf.avail.infinality/fc-presets set

and choose 1 (combi) (the other options are "ms" if you have Microsoft fonts on your system, and "free" for if you have the infinality-bundle set of fonts, available at http://bohoomil.com/repo/fonts/). This will preset infinality for the "combi" set of font definitions, which is your own custom definitions. By default it gives configuration files for (in addition to the standard infinality configuration set in conf.d)

30-metric-aliases-combi.conf
37-repl-global-combi.conf
60-latin-combi.conf
65-non-latin-combi.conf
66-aliases-wine-combi.conf

and I have added the following links to set infinality for the DejaVu and Oxygen and FreeSans fonts provided with DebianDog Wheezy:
40-nonlatin.conf
45-dejavu.conf
45-latin-misc.conf
45-oxygen.conf
69-unifont.conf
90-non-tt-fonts.conf
90-tt-dejavu.conf
90-tt-oxygen.conf

If you add more fonts, then search for configuration files in either the infinality-bundle repo linked above, or in /etc/fonts/conf.avail.infinality/fonts-settings (which is erroneously referred to in the README in /etc/fonts/conf.d as "ftypes", so I've made a symlink of that name to avoid confusion) for a configuration file or files.


2. Install libfreetype-infinality6_2.4.9-3_i386.deb (right-click in Thunar, Install .deb)...infinality-patched libfreetype and /etc/ld.so.conf.d/freetype-infinality-i386-linux-gnu.conf
--this .deb installs libfreetype.so.6.8.1 and its symlink libfreetype.so in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/freetype-infinality. However, Debian(Dog) Wheezy supplies libfreetype.so.6.8.1 and its symlink libfreetype.so in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu.

I was not sure if /etc/ld.so.conf.d/freetype-infinality-i386-linux-gnu.conf will point the library search path correctly, so I simply renamed the originals. This works, so you should do it too:

Code: Select all

mv -f /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6.8.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6.8.1--original
mv -f /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so--original
ldconfig

3. cairo_1.12.2-1_i386.deb (right-click in Thunar, Install .deb)...infinality-patched libcairo2
--this .deb places libcairo.so.2.11200.2 and its symlink libcairo.so.2 in /usr/lib, but Debian(Dog) Wheezy places them in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu. So, I renamed the originals:

Code: Select all

mv -f /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcairo.so.2.11200.2 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcairo.so.2.11200.2--original
mv -f /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcairo.so.2 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcairo.so.2--original
ldconfig

4. infinality-config-file.tar.gz...supplies /etc/profile.d/infinality-settings.sh (configuration file)


Install the above four and reboot and you have infinality fonting in Debian(Dog) Wheezy.

In the config file /etc/profile.d/infinality-settings.sh, I have USE_STYLE= (line 707) set as "DEFAULT" but you may wish to try "INFINALITY" or "LINUX" or "UBUNTU". Ignore the advice about also setting style in /etc/fonts/local.conf, that advice is obsolete, there no longer is a local.conf in infinality. You must reboot for new settings to take effect. Also make sure that the Xft.dpi= number near the top of /etc/profile.d/infinality-settings.sh matches what is shown by

Code: Select all

xdpyinfo | grep resolution

I hope it works for you, and I trust that Toni and Fred can fix it so it complies fully with Debian packaging standards.
