Hi, it seems that dpkg is giving issues to the drivers.
Here's more info:

Hi,
see last edited below: need to upgrade xf86-input-wacom driver to version later than 0.34.0
I just got a look in xerrs.log to see if eveything was OK ... and found the following !
xerrs.log reports a bug each time something is written from keyboard, or maybe upon each move action from my wacom tablet .. as far as I can see...

Here using the same wacom tablet since many years on various Puppies without issue ..

Over the time to write this post, xerrs.log increased from ca. 120 lines to ca. 4100 lines, only repeatedly filled with the below paragraph

here is the xerrs.log repeated section:

Hi radky !

Hi Radky (and anyone),

When you get time could you (or anyone) take a peek at this http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=982632#982632 that I just posted in the "Users" section? I'll be danged if I can figure out how to get this to stop I think it's something simple, but knowing me I am way over-thinking it on how to accomplish this.

Thanks!

{UPDATE} crap, I didn't search hard enough---just found this post from Mochi on how to get this to stop. So, SOLVED!

I installed to an older usb-2.0 4gb flash drive to use with my Acer
Revo:

I installed kpat,kshisen,and kodi with PPM.
Kodi wouldn't run with the default nouveau driver so I installed the
proprietary Nvidia driver.

roadkill13, thank you for help about python 3.5. I did what you tell us and it works very well. I can fulfill Gramps even with last Puppies. without wasting time searching where is the bug.
"I have GRAMPS installed and running at this time. I noted that GRAMPS is looking for /usr/bin/python3. This does not exist. /usr/bin/python3.5 does exist. You can fix this by right clicking on /usr/bin/python3.5 in the ROX-Filer and selecting "Link" from the context menu. Change the name from python3.5 to python3. This will allow GRAMPS to start as shown below."

About Dpup stretch for Hungarians citizens, a ready for use version is available Google Drive here
Artfulpup HU is available there too.
That is easy to guess that i use an old pen-drive where Lupu and Sulu were working hard in the past.

VLC 3.0.0 is released but I think it requires Qt5. Possible to do of course, but the first of a major version upgrade will probably need some time to iron out bugs. I did some experiments with it (without Qt) and it was doing some strange things. It will complile against ffmpeg 3.x though.

So I decided to take a look at VLC 2.2.8
This will not work with the ffmpeg 3 in Stretch so I have to use a private internal ffmpeg 2.8.11
It also needs some libxcb libraries which are missing from DpupStretch
The libraries libqtcore4 and libqtgui4 are also needed for the GUI.
These are in my remaster but not in Radky's 7.5.RC-2

I tried a build from source and it seems to be working OK. No errors in terminal at start-up.
I made a package which should be standalone install-and-go in 7.5 RC-2 and another package without the Qt libs for my remaster (or any others which already have Qt).

Treat as strictly EXPERIMENTAL and take appropriate precautions if testing.
Package suitable for 7.5.RC-2 or others which do not have Qt4 included:-

EDIT:- I have now managed to compile VLC 3.0.0 with Qt5 GUI so perhaps folks may care to test that as well. See here:-

Hi,
here is qtmindmap, simple mindmap chart editor compiled in DpupStretch

Hello,
New fella on block, but like the way the Dpup stretch 7 operates from usb ISOboot, but have some confusion as to who built my 7.0.0a1 after viewing pgs 1-16.
I help some elderly people, who want to use software requiring python, QT5, Wine, vpn , modern browsers, multi lang, and ectra. LM performs most of the software issues, but is totally disliked (mildly expressed) by those who have attempted its use.
However, after testing many of the late Puppies, like Tahr605, 528_7, LXpup, and some other distos of 32bt styles, am presently converting Stretch 7 to run the software that LM18_3 will.
I pose a question, S7 is using kernel 4.1.38, should I change to S7_5 which has 4.1.48 or 4.1.79 kernels, or relax and continue? Should mention being locked into 32bt hardware.
Thanks in advance for opinions or tech advice

Hi,
qtmindmap mindmap chart editor - continue above post
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/posting.php?p=984775&mode=topicreview&postorder=DESC#984775

Here is a Qtmindmaps pet having black arrows and borders: this allows:
- having black borders and arrows together with coloured nodes;
- printing on black and white printers if the nodes colour has been set to white;

to mention: status icons are kept coloured as in the original source archive.

Have fun
Charlie

Hello,
In a previous post, was attempting to be minimal commentary toward LM, but since asked about elderly, they adjust and like Puppy in most all flavors.
LM, would not allow file transfers easily, even to USB devices created with it. Plus a password was required for nearly every interaction.
I am in my feeble way, trying to Puppize LM, for it runs Gramps, Bibleanalyser and text to speech, nearly out of box, Joy Joy, if you overlook previous mentions. LOL
However, this is a Stretch 7.5 post, and have run a USB w ISObooter in several older machines, but needed more more ram to unsquash 1.7Gb sfs, so moved to this Dell A2010 64 bit running my 32 bit Stretch w K 4148.
Much thanks to 0a1 stretch also, as both of these operate flawlessly with a Presario, E-mach, Dell 3k, and such. Particularly wonderful is the beautifully legible menus, and programing features, like event manager, and manual save for I have 2500 debs to load and unstable power
Have Great Day
