(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Without doing any research first ( Bad lad tonight ), I'm assuming that BashBurn, by definition is a utility for BASH.
Whether it will still work with ASH is yet to be discovered.
I'll give it a try and post the results.....................Anybody need any coasters?

If BASHburn works well in Puppy I'll put it in the index, if someone will post the settings that worked for them in Puppy.

Rich, can't you burn CD-RWs? That's all I use for first-time tryouts.

D'oh.

Damn.........never even thought of that ! ( having a blonde moment ! )
Cheers buddy

BashBurn will not work properly with ash

Puppy 1.0.3 has bash
earlier versions of Puppy do not have bash

it may not work properly with bash ... it is intended to work with xterm (not rxvt) and the standard Gnu-Utils (not Busybox's cut-down replacements)

for example, the BashBurn scripts use the command setterm -clear to clear the screen ... Puppy doesn't have setterm, so i wrote a script to clear the screen when setterm -clear is called

Those wishing to try bashburn with Puppy 1.0.3 (Bash becomes the default in 1.0.4) are reminded to click on rxvt and type bash (remember to hit enter/return you blondes) This changes from the small compressed ash command set to bash

you will see the command line change to bash-3.00#

I was looking for xterm and wonder if mrxvt 0.3.13
(if not working with the standard rxvt) is worth trying?

I would try it but my recent dotpup experiments seems to have disabled
dotpup expansion . . .

i think bashburn should use bash anyway, because the run line is #!/bin/bash

if it doesn't , then my bashburn roxapp wrapper won't work

alienx created a good dot pup but i have recently visited giftui web page
http://giftui.sourceforge.net/
and it seems they added open ft and open napster more file sharing protocols for easier searching and better results I was wondering if we could update ours to what they have got
I know I know I'm always asking for stuff but if I new how and I have tried I would so please be patient with me

Icedock 0.3-1

IceDock provides support for WindowMaker, Afterstep(Wharf) docked applications. Primarily aimed at IceWM.

[edit: uninstall-icedock fixed]

Nedit 5.5 Text Editor

this puts an icon in my-roxapps
click the icon to run nedit
drag the icon to the desktop if you want a shortcut
right click the icon for Help or to Uninstall

i did not change the default configuration
you can configure Nedit by editing /root/.Xdefaults
if you post a nicer configuration, i can put it in the dotpup

requires about 2.7 megs of space in /root

http://www.nedit.org/

/root/my-applications/icedock/

To uninstall, type:
uninstall-icedock

it says in the text file

Well I tried and kept getting

Icedock has NOT been uninstalled

sorry, i forgot a $
if [ "yynn" = "yes" ]
should be
if [ "$yynn" = "yes" ]

if you put the missing $ in uninstall-icedock, it should work

Xkill

this is not working quite right
it leaves behind bash processes
(i think Fvwm95's kill plugin may do that too)
anyway, you can try it if you want

this is an Xkill roxapp
it installs an icon in my-roxapps
click the icon to run xkill
drag the icon to the desktop if you want a shortcut
right click the icon fo Help or to Uninstall

comes with a tooltip

Useage:
click the xkill icon, the cursor will change,
click a window to kill it
right click to cancel

Zlib 1.2.2-8

some versions of zlib (used by zip, unzip, png)
have security vulnerabilities

as far as i know, Puppy does not have the latest security vulnerability (it may have others)

at the time of this writing, there is not an official bugfix, but some distros have already fixed it

this is a binary from Debian, which has the bugfix
i have been using it for a few days and have noticed no problems

here's an installer if you want to use the Debian binary in Puppy

NOTE: if this does not work right, it can cause problems. There is an uninstaller and also you can type zlib-fix to disable the patch if you have problems.

it seems to work ok on my machine

MUT 0.0.5.rc1 Media Utility Tool by Jesse Liley

in a roxapp
puts a debug output file in /root

http://www.goosee.com/puppy/wikka/JesseLileyMUT
http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=1161

Mut is an important release. It is a specialised program that will be a part of Puppy 1.0.4

I urge everyone to download and offer feedback to Jesse. All it does (and rather well) is mounting and unmounting of disks (access data on all media)

I am hoping to use it to play a DVD, and burn the new 1.0.4 ISO (and Bladehunters version as a test) when available.

Mut is kewl

seem to have broken it - maybe it was the 5 1/4" disk I have as df0:
(yep I really have one of those . . .)

The program has gone empty (black box in program all else gone)
I have killed it and restarted and it just opens as a black box program
- ohh its reappeared - must be scanning . . .

are we having fun yet . . .

Hi,

this is a release candidate, testing only oks or installer for an older puppy (pre 1.0.4) without mut ok too
This one always runs in debug mode (roxapp script to change that) and output file is in /root/my-roxapps/Mut/mut-0.0.5.rc2/mut-debug-output.txt

Remember if you find bugs in it, its useful if you can report them.

I'm so chuffed, this is my first dotpup (crosses fingers)

BC and DC 1.06-17 - cli arithmetic

BC is a language that supports arbitrary precision numbers with interactive execution of statements. There are some similarities in the syntax to the C programming language.

DC is a reverse-polish desk calculator which supports unlimited precision arithmetic. It also allows you to define and call macros.

these are command line programs

your Mut dotpup seems to work ok

you don't have to use my roxapp of course
and you can change the icons
(i used a crystal icon from art.gnome.org ... hope the license is ok, it's sometimes hard to find the license)

i think maybe you can delete old dotpups from the server .... or replace them by uploading newer version

put your dotpups anyplace you like ... i put mine all in one thread so they are all in one place, in date order ... maybe it would be better if they were split up in more than 1 thread

Hi. I get an error message within a qemu environment running 1.0.3
bare bones intalled on hdd.

Error: Could not read "/proc/bus/usb/devices": no such file or directory

That's probably because qemu doesn't have any usb devices to simulate..?
So I believe, one would see this only if there are no usb devices at all..?

PS

Nethack 3.4.3

NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game
Unlike many other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired games,
the emphasis in NetHack is on discovering the detail
of the dungeon and not simply killing everything in sight.

this will download another 1.4 megs
NetHack uses about 4 megs of hard drive space

this installs an icon in my-roxapps
drag the icon to the desktop if you want a shortcut
click the icon to run NetHack
right click the icon for Help or to Uninstall
