will test fatdog's zarfy...

for 64bit aemenu (thanks to musher0)

further testing running from usb2:

ETP's chrome package is working really nicely. the Firefox ESR has crashed at least three times in twenty hours. it uses fewer resources but is less reliable and somewhat less snappy in my (april 64) experience.

which version?
the 1.9. I haven't tried yours yet (did in precise 5.5.--wasn't funtional/had almost entriely textless interface. i've since trashed/disabled the distro so can't test further), but i could if you like. i have some shortcuts already bound to the original fnr--is there a way i can rename your pet before it runs so it doesn't rename the other? thanks.
You can download 1.10.5 from SFN's thread or you can simply copy-paste file findnrun from http://github.com/step-/find-n-run usr/bin/findnrun. Either way, rename the existing /usr/bin/findnrun on your system to findnrun-1.9 and put the new findnrun in /usr/bin/findnrun. Your shortcuts will use (test) the new one. Thanks for testing.
Alternatively, just copy-paste the findnrun from github to an executable file of your liking and start it from the command line.

haven't been taking snapshots and just wiped out my system (wrong elf class on some libraries labeled _86_64--trying to get zarfy to work, thought i was just about to--last mistake paralyzed everything and removing the files manually (from another distro) didn't help...), but on the bright side :roll: i'll install yours first this time.

--knew i should've gotten around to posting the recoll links and steps...

edit: 1.10.5 works fine in quirky64 but is missing the two right icons (not at the machine atm but exit and help i think...)

:D Find-n-Run now disponbile for Quirky64 with updated graphics. Replace /usr/bin/findnrun with the new (it should also work in FD).
Soon the .pet complete.
...New zafry crash too

-- Edit: waiting for new version by the authors

Known issue, please read https://github.com/step-/find-n-run/issues/4.

I'm curious to know why you didn't just take SFR's pet. It should work for April64 OOTB, I think.
What did you need to do to _adapt_ find-n-run for April64?

Indeed! Thanks.

both zarfy (tried fatdog 500's) and parcellite 1.19 were unhappy there was no gdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0.

there are a number or 64bit rpms around--tried one with no luck and a 32 bit with disastrous results. any ideas which would be a good package to use?

Only a small change to the buttons 'About' and 'Exit' and changed the paths of app ... so simple works well. Ah, no desktop-shortcut, for now.

@ Puppus
Remember that the paths of the libraries are different for rpm. You must manually extract the libraries and place them in /lib or /usr/lib ignoring lib64.

megasync--Quirky 7.0.4.1.-64bit

rpms never have anything go to lib64? how would other programs that would expect the lib to be in that folder know where to find it? keep one in the original and symlink the other to the other lib folder?

deb above works with the included rpm dep--should need nothing further than clicking both as if they were pets.

lucked out with that dependency--first item on first search result. rarely seems to work out that way.

megasync_14.04_amd64

Good suggestion, I'll use a lot.

In a clean Quirky 7.0.4.1, missing these libs:

libcares.so.2 => not found
libQtDBus.so.4 => not found
libQtGui.so.4 => not found
libQtNetwork.so.4 => not found
libQtCore.so.4 => not found
libcrypto.so.1.0.0 (OPENSSL_1.0.0) => not found
libssl.so.1.0.0 (OPENSSL_1.0.1) => not found
libssl.so.1.0.0 (OPENSSL_1.0.0) => not found

probably the libs had been installed by some program installed previously.

now is repacked: megasync_14.04_amd64-April64.pet
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz9e78 ... sp=sharing
requires QT4_amd64-April64.pet available in main page (cat: utility)
the paths of libraries quirky64 differ from debian (ubuntu) and rpm

libcares.so.2 i added from an rpm warehouse of sorts. the rest must've come from your qt4 pet, --well, i've installed almost everything in this thread i think...

sorry, but this is even more of a mess than the megasync package:

I downloaded your .pet. Since my github project places findnrun in /usr/bin - exactly like your .pet does - I'm guessing you needed to change SFR's Find'N'Run .pet - and not my find-n-run package from github. OK, now I understand what you did!
As regards fixing icons, that issue is resolved in http://github.com/step-/find-n-run/issues/4. Just be aware that by changing the icons to "use-stock", as you did, you do get slightly larger icons. And there will be more gtkdialog icon incompatibilities between Fatdog64 and April64. A better solution would be to patch gtk2 the way SFR did for Fatdog64. It's all referenced in the github issue #4 discussion.

Hi step,
ok, you're right, we are on the same paths. Glad we thought the same way. In fact I started from version located in /usr/local/app to move it to /usr/bin. As you did. find-n-run is different from find'n'run. I have not yet published on the front page, waiting for a complete structure of the app. Gtk and translations. Today I have a busy day, but it takes me hands soon.

Very useful and interesting. My problem is to have the installation of quirky frugal with 6GB of ram, and an indexing very large (4GB +) causes a large consumption of CPU and RAM, thus slowing down the system. I will have to create smaller indexes ...

you can move the .db files out of the partition and link them back through preferences> external index dialog if you need to, but i haven't found it particularly ram hungry when making those huge database files (6gb ram, sd card in a 2.0 socket).

it appears to be working fine otherwise, so for now i'll just avoid the settings button. and the help button.
(help's probably online but the interface is pretty intuitive and the settings features are probably accessible through the menus in one way or another...i'll check out some screenshots of what the help button does and see if i feel like i'm missing something.

(still setting up this installation so i can more or less automate the set up of the next one. if there is a next one. i'm getting used to one monitor and the overall bigness of the lower resolution).

dual monitor support in qa64

#39 Post by Puppus Dogfellow »

not sure what dependencies are needed on a clean install, but i had no hassles from the following allows dual monitor support in quirky april 64:
lxrandr-0.3.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.pet

simple gui but it worked.
:D

----

geany plugins and libs:

geany1241plugins-Quirky7041-64.tar.xz

you'll need vte support for some plugin functions and virtually all of the better terminals.

ok, it needs no dependencies, that's okay.
I tried two monitors with different resolutions but I can not make it work with the proper resolutions. The dual monitors is also a problem for me :cry:

EDIT:
Great, it works great! I had desktop icons in confusion but after an operation of positioning now everything works! :D :D :D
