Tahr NOP 6.0.2

#1 Post by gray »

Nearly Office Pup is an XFCE based puplet, so called because it is a no frills pup without office apps. The idea being that you install to USB pendrive and add an SFS file of the office package (Libre Office, Softmaker etc).

This NOP is based on Tahr 6.0.2 PAE (kernel 3.14.20) with the new XFCE 4.12 desktop.
Added ffmpeg, mplayer and Pwidgets 2.5.6 but deleted all games, abiword, gnumeric, homebank, notecase, planner, geany, osmo, VLC, gstreamer, Qt, Python & more - but don't worry they can easily be added back to your pup with PPM.

get tahrNOP-2_6.0.2.iso (183 Mb) from http://download.tuxfamily.org/nop - md5sum file also here
Also at the NOP repository are pet packages to more easily add Python and QT back.

or download the iso from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6OcGX ... sp=sharing
with md5sum https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6OcGX ... sp=sharing

Known problems:
XFCE 4.12 is not as stable as the previous 4.10 version. In particular Thunar can crash or pop up an input/output error.

Updated to V2 - 23-3-15:
corrected ffmpegthumbnailer not working, added thunar-volman and whiskermenu, libsensors.

I'm excited to try your latest creation. No doubt it's an excellent one. Your NOPs introduced me to xfce on puppy, since then I have been hooked to this DE! Thanks.

Wow, gray I thought you were long gone.

It was your NOP that got me switched over to Puppy, back in (maybe) 4.2 days. Good to see you're still around! Will give this a spin :)

There appears to be a bug or something missing as svg wrapper don't work, this may be a problem with the Tahr pup 6.0.2 which I don't have installed to confirm.

Should be able to wrap an image and display it with this code saved as a .svg

Code: Select all

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMin slice" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 640 480" width="100%" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
       <image height="480" width="640" xlink:href="/PATH/TO/640x480.jpg"></image>
</svg>
Works fine in other pups that I've tried.

if you add this to the start does it work as you expect?

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.1" encoding="UTF-8"?>
so

gprs-connect

#11 Post by gray »

witekjeden :

I don't have a GPRS modem so I can't test, but I think you are right, there is a flaw in the pgprs-connect script. I believe that line 6 should have an & on the end before the #, i.e . /etc/ppp/gprs.conf & #130812...

Attached is the corrected script, just unzip and copy to /usr/bin

kodi

#13 Post by number698 »

hi grey,

i've loaded the kodi.sfs - but kodi does not start up. I've also tried installing XBMC from the ppm - but that also failed to start.

Could anyone point out what's wrong/missing ?

Try running the binary in a terminal it will show you what is wrong or missing.

no menu entry for rox but found it opened up when mounting an iso in thunar, seems to be acting as should.

installed the notecase pet 'notecase-1.9.8-prescott.pet' but it's not showing its window properly when min/max and switching workspaces.

as for kodi - hmmph, that's beyond me ;-)
