Hello watchdog

Have a look at what shared-mime-info package is built into this Puppy.
Most recent Puppies are built with quite an old .pet version of this package, but recently I experimented with compiling the latest version (1.9) from source. At first I thought it was OK but then I noticed exactly the same problem with some .iso files and the boot.cat files being red triangles.

I did this because I wanted to add a mime-type for .opus audio files.
In the end I went back to the old version of shared-mime-info and figured out how to add the mime-type by editing /usr/share/mime/packages/puppy.xml

Bionic Beaver Wifi-Wep, frisbee fails SNS OK

#502 Post by mikeslr »

Not a serious problem, but i thought I should mention it. My router uses WEP. Running Bionic Beaver both SNS and frisbee see my wireless network. SNS connects, frisbee fails.

One other problem but too many variables to assess its significance. I registered wine-portable version 2.1.6. Other XP programs ran, but one which runs under other Puppies didn't. Best guess is that its some peculiarity in the program, itself, as it dates back to 1998.

p.s. See my next post, about 3 down.

Thanks OscarTalks! Restoring shared-mime-info-0.70-6.pet from noarch rep and restarting X solves the problem of red triangles.

It would appear that BionicPup can not handle wireless passwords with spaces.
This is across all 3 connection apps. Frisbee shows "invalid password" and the rest just fail.
Every other pup is connecting fine in the same network from the same hardware so I'm assuming is introduced in some recent woof-change.
Does anybody else sees that (to exclude any local voodoo) before start looking into it?

The frisbee issue appears to be Xdialog rather than frisbee related as the /tmp/.frisbee/entry file is flooded with errors like

Code: Select all

...
instead of the typed password.

Did not look at Network wizard :oops:


Another little thing: The battery monitor is accurate at boot but fails to (monitor levels? and) update. Not sure if relevant but similar GLib-GObject-CRITICAL issues can be observed and a "resource temporarily unavailable" can be seen after that with strace

Wine 3.3_v3.1 works : Save Works but notice? stay on screen

#507 Post by mikeslr »

Just an update to my prior post. Decided to try version2013's 32-bit Wine 3.3_v3.1. The XP program I had a problem with in my last post worked OK. [Guess I'll have to work on a new Portable-Wine].

However, when executing a SaveFile the notice remained on the desktop. Went out for over an hour and it was still there. Restarted-X which, after the desktop appeared, gave a notice "Saving?" which disappeared in a couple of seconds. Perhaps only a momentary glitch as the next Save worked w/o a hitch.

FWIW: The computer is an OptiPlex 790, Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz, Max Speed: 4000 MHz, Core Count: 2, Thread Count: 4, RAM: 7973 MB.

BionicBeaver is very responsive, perhaps the quickest to open applications I've tried. Really looking forward to its further development. :)

Many thanks for all the feedback....
I've done a new build +2 with:
BUILD_FROM_WOOF='testing;cbb38a7e;2018-03-11 20:41:49 +0800'
delta
new iso md5 = 15edcdb6a84810aa6a474c89ce9f2b64 Upup_Bionic_Beaver-18.03+2.iso

shared-mime-info has changed in woof-ce, however I only see the problem red triangles for some old .isos which seem to have type model/stl.x-binary - but if you change the type to application/x-cd-image then they display and behave correctly. I can't see which bit of shared-mime-info-0.70-6.pet fixes this....

I was aware of the GLIB warnings and errors (e.g. type leafpad or geany in a terminal) but all the advice I've been able to find is that they are an aspect of Ubuntu development and can be ignored - but this is clearly not the case for Frisbee (Mav is correct that this is the cause).... I don't know how to get rid of them!

I haven't looked at Marv's kernel config issue yet - the delta still has 4.9.86
nor watchdog's libreoffice problem [EDIT] LibreOffice-6.0.2 seems to work fine

You may want to try recompiling the offending apps (Xdialog, powerapplet_tray) and see if is getting any better.
Is there any devx?

Yes - I have a devx which I've used to build a compatible version of ffmpeg (but got errors trying to compile MPlayer so had to "bodge" that)....

BUT leafpad for example is an Ubuntu Bionic app so I wouldn't be recompiling that...maybe the errors will "go away" as BB approaches release.....strange thing is everything seems to work (except Frisbee) despite the error messages.

It's the same in slackware. Install the new version, but retain /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml from the old version.

Hello peebee,

I think most of the mime-types are defined in the .xml files in /usr/share/mime/packages with the bulk of the generic stuff being in freedesktop.org.xml

If you look at this in the new shared-mime-info and search for .iso or application/x-cd-image it looks more complicated than in the old package in which it is clearly defined as just one association. The .cat files could also be defined as well if they show as red triangles. ROX sees those as unknown "octet stream" files with the old package.

Separate Thread for Bionic

#515 Post by davids45 »

G'day peebee,

Can I suggest, ASAP, that you start a new thread for your UPup Bionic?
I'm told, unlike Artful, Bionic will have long term support from Ubuntu, so BionicPup is also likely to be a long term investment.

I've downloaded your first Bionic delta and will report when I've had a play.
Posting from the un-deltaed Bionic now, which is pretty good. This was after fixing a few things during installing my many extra applications (pets and/or sfs) - the pinboard opens up before everything I added is ready, so I have to reset the pinboard to get all my app icons (and pwidgets) correctly displayed. Happens to me in Artful and radky's Stretch too, so it's a woof-thing I believe (and my over indulgence in extra applications on the pinboard :oops: ).

Hoping you can fix the drive icons display for the situation where there are many drive partitions (Artful is good, Bionic is bad - another woof issue?).

Thanks again for your efforts which I greatly appreciate :) .

David S.

Hi peebee.

Congratulations for the new baby!!! :D

About those warnings, some Ubuntu people feel that leaving the "debug" function
on is a kind of Ubuntu trademark, and if the user will run the apps in GUI mode,
the warnings will not be a bother. I have read that in a couple of threads on their
forums. That argument is specious, if I may say so.

I believe all of the recent UPups have the annoyance, including my
xenialPup-7.0.6.

An edit at line 160 of Puppy's /usr/bin/xwin solves it:

Code: Select all

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/bin/xinit /root/.xinitrc -- -br -nolisten tcp > /tmp/xerrs.log 2>/dev/null
# BarryK's original ending: 2>&1 #### Edit by musher0, Oct. 23, 2017
# 2>/dev/null will send the error reports to never-never land, and you will have an 
# almost clean xerrs.log. If you notice something fishy going on on your system, 
# do not hesitate to restore BarryK's original ending.
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If one runs apps from console a lot, the following can come in handy.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
# filtre-2dn.sh ## et liens symboliques / and symbolic links
# < filtre > et/ and < fltr >
# dans / in
# /opt/local/bin/
# OU / OR
# /root/my-applications/bin. ##

Hello peebee,
I just tried your bionic puppy on my acer Aspire V5, with the french langpack, at first glance everything works perfectly. It's great work, thank you very much. If you accept, it will serve me probably basis for my next Triton. :wink: .
Bien à toi, petihar.

...but not an old TNT card. Have now tested more than a dozen graphics cards and the results are highly variable, often not able to arrive at a prompt when using pfix=nox. Cannot pin down the cause on 32bit machines.
