Hi greengeek.

Please forgive me for the trouble. I just re-edited my qc.sh script. I did a bit of research
and tested a couple of times (pretending I was a Frenchman for a couple of minutes!) :).

This new version of the script should work for French-from-France users who use the
azerty keyboard. (Whereas we French-Canadians use a modified qwerty keyboard.)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/ash
# qc.sh 
# IMPORTANT ###########################
# Objectif : activer le clavier Québec (dit "fr-legacy") ou 
# un autre clavier francophone. /
#
# Goal: properly activate the "fr-legacy" keyboard or other Francophone keyboard.
# (The usual way was too iffy.)
#
# Note to Anglophones: since you don't need this, the script is made such 
# that your keyboard set-up is not altered in any way.
#
# Persons speaking a language other than French or English : you may use the section
# "other_laguages_here" reserved expressly for you.
##########################################################################
# Dérivé d'une astuce de "Médor" sur le forum Puppy francophone vers le temps du

#### set +xe
In the previous version, the "fr" keyboard had not been actually activated.

Also, I don't know how to say this... Your effort is greatly appreciated, but you didn't need
to give yourself the trouble to re-master and re-upload the entire iso just for these few
lines... It would've been ok to just copy and paste the script in /root/my-applications/bin,
and then put a symlink of it in /root/Startup.

It will be ok for pelo to copy and paste the above script in /root/my-applications/bin, and
then put a symlink of it in /root/Startup.

I know this may be confusing, so ask any and all questions that you may have!

BFN.

The end of a dinasty

#102 Post by Pelo »

One day, somebody had to modify the ISO source (Upup). I really like old Dpup Squeeze (light, nice and full-featured). Upup is replaced even by its most active defenders as Musher0, Augras for tahrpup or Pupjibaro Jessie.
Pemasu would be sad about that.
The end of a dinasty :cry:
I will remasterize asap taking account of yours feed-back and tatsing greengeek version.
Spring is a very nice season. This morning i added a dozen of picture to edit in my collection. Weather is bad, People always show country with a nice sun, Not me.

Yes keyboard bug was solved in 2013.

#103 Post by Pelo »

greengeek, four hours (40Kb/s) is too much, tonight.
Yes keyboard bug was solved in 2013... you are right.. a pet exist. when you search history. To fix the non-US keyboard bug you need to install libX11-1.6.1 from here:- Bruno installed it for success ... Oscar Talks was the provider, the brain of that..

THE place to discuss "brush pressure" or similar subjects in MyPaint is obviously:
http://mypaint.org/blog/2015/12/09/community-forums. Not here.

Here, on this thread, we do not discuss art or art techniques; we discuss the distro that
enables you to make art and use art techniques. Hopefully you see the nuance?

That is true Musher0, you are right.

#105 Post by Pelo »

That is true Musher0, you are right. I asked too much detailed information about MyPaint.
For my self defense, it's the only Puppy where MyPint runs and can be used. Topics about MyPaint elsewhere are blocked at the installation step. So nobody knows Mypaint. So i was, ignoring what it was able to do. Starhawk would have known.

I am not talking to you pelo. I am talking in general, at the idea level.

I am stating the fact that here we build distros of the Puppy variety. If you want
specialist advice about a particular application, the logical first step would be to ask in
that application's forum.

The Puppy developer may not be a specialist of any particular app, he may only know
that it's important to include application X or Y in his thematic Puppy.

Go to Ubuntu Forum to get information about My-paint

#107 Post by Pelo »

there is still a huge distance between users and puppy builders.
Puppy builder provides the restaurant, users search the food...
The main, the food,both the puppy buider and the user ignore how to do it...
Go to Ubuntu Forum to get information about My-paint.. Here in the forum, you will find only how to install, or why install fails.
Ubuntu chapter 4 :
"Utilisation
Lancez l'application depuis le menu Applications → Graphisme → MyPaint ou via la commande suivante :
....[/i]
English version is available in Ubuntu description.
For Music lovers, all is explained, excepted what to listen to.. When Musher0 provides Jajuk, he uses it.

Hi Pelo, I hope that my latest reconstruction of vincentvanpup will offer you what you were looking for. Here are three versions to choose from:

1) This version of vincent has the non-US keyboard ("qc") bug fixed and also has all LibreOffice functions removed:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/4zbv5 ... so.md5.txt

(447MB download)


2) This version has the non-US keyboard ("qc") bug fixed and keeps the Libreoffice "Draw" and "Impress" programs but the other Libre programs like Word Processor, Calc and Base are removed:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/9i9dn ... .9.9.2.iso
http://www.mediafire.com/download/4cp2l ... so.md5.txt

(634MB download)


3) This version has the non-US keyboard ("qc") bug fixed and retains all of the Libreoffice programs:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/jg280 ... c-3992.iso
http://www.mediafire.com/download/8q5xx ... so.md5.txt


Please let me know if you find any issues that need fixing.
cheers!

Done.
if users were not there, nothing would run :!: Nice idea to let the brand new Libre Office load on the Fly when you need stop photographic hobby to typewrite some translations
Your boss would not accept you to come at work with your soccer (futbol) ball, but he always tries to make you office job at home !
Yes Puppy can ! but Puppy is burned out (or burst like its balloon)

Hi Pelo, thanks for the feedback. Good to know its working ok. cheers

settings to do, with the package manager, step 2

#114 Post by Pelo »

hum hum hum, its only a first step, a victory, other fights are waiting us, with this upup... Musher0 and Augras were fond of it. There are other settings to do, with the package manager (links to repositories).
You did the bigger step, avoiding each user to changes Linux scripts by including them in the ISO.
Augras, in France, yet found how to do ; check to-morrow.. shotwell is well available for Raring..
2014, Augras provided here a pet for updating repository links
I check now if everything works at it should do
Shotwell was an application included in french Triton by petihar for french artists. There are alternatives. It's just to test the repository.

That I might be able to help with...

You probably need to update Puppy Package Manager... as it says. I have to do that with X-Tahr 1b3 already...

PPM was unserviceable

#117 Post by Pelo »

PPM raring to update : successful with Augras pet ! how could it be people did not even inform the forum PPM was unserviceable :!: (many of them does not even speak english, that has to be taken in account :evil: ). Furthermore, it is a Linux speaking, artists and computing are not words which go together well,

shotwell_0.14.1|shotwell|0.14.1|0ubuntu1|Graphic;camera|6920K|pool/main/s/shotwell|shotwell_0.14.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb|

I suppose the principle of this solution is good for other "abondoned" ubuntus as
well, for ex. the UnicornPup based on Utopic Unicorn
? asked Musher0

"I think this solution can be use for a lot of puppies : just to know which repository to use and make the change in the file.

Do you think two browsers are necessary

#118 Post by Pelo »

j'avais djà remastérisé van Pup en enlevant libre Office et chrome pour profiter des MBS afin de mettre des application graphiques.

I remasterized yet Van Pup deleting LibreOffice and Chrome to replace them by true graphics applications, but i was unable to solve the bug of keyboard :!: Merci Greengeek. Do you think two browsers are necessary ? What about removing Chrome ... and adding some libs (those missing for shotwell, for instance)
A lot of puplets are delivered without a browser, some with Dillo, van Pup with Seamonkey would not deceive our artists, If we offer them some applications in exchange.. Qt apps ??? some nice graphics apps need Qt (see tahpup Quickpet)

Hello all.

Indeed the UpupRaring base is outstanding, pemasu outdid himself with this one.
And IMO starhawk did a very good job too of remaking it into a "Visual Artist" Puppy.

pelo says: remove this, add that. "Tu as toute liberté de le faire, pelo." pelo has
any and all freedom to do what he wishes with it.

This is Puppy! If pelo wants to himself grow his very own "Marcel-Duchamp
Toutou" based on VVP, -- instead of asking other people to do the job for him
(hehehe) -- he's free to do so!

Image

For more about this Duchamp...

Or create...

Image

his own "Magnum Photo-Journalists Co-op Puppy", let him wade in the waters a bit!!! Why not?

BFN.
