Thanks for your reply, ttuuxx -

actually I'm a bit abashed - there were the dregs of a much earlier pup_214r.sfs on the 'C' drive (Bulldoze partition), and perhaps that gave the boot-up a bit of a hill-start. Maybe (?) not quite the puppy pcmcia miracle I've always hoped for, but still your work is magic and muchly appreciated!

Hi Guys every once in a bit I like to check out other repos and see what they got for files

So anyways I was looking at redhats, funny they have the same ffmpeg,xine,gxine as 2.14X does, They must of just updated, anyways I compared file for file, and well we have about 10 less deps and its about 50% smaller, not bad, I swapped around files etc to see what works and doesn't and well they all work other than the few missing deps, Thats good to know if we ever get stuck for ffmpeg.

Anyways I came across this gtk program called My traceroute gtk, and well I made a package from the 3 files needed and when I stripped the files it shrank 50%, not bad its a 68kb pet. Anyway its a program that tells you how good your connection is, if you have any packet loss etc.
I'm on wired adsl2 so I don't have anything to worry about, but could be a good tool for wireless people, anyways once you install it, you can locate it under menu/system/Traceroute

Wow that would be a bonus if that worked, hmmm (thinks to himself, might as well jump at the opportunity ,lol )
One of the biggest annoyances about petget for new users and small laptop screen users is The dependency check list is vary long, most new users don't know about holding the ctrl key down to move it up, and small laptop screen users well , its like manually moving pages.
The answer is that it needs a side scrollbar and a predetermined height, like 500px high then the scrollbar attaches.
I have no clue on how to do that, but there have been threads with this as a request. Any takers?

Bored on a Sunday afternoon, started looking into this

.

The .pets I have here only have short missing deps lists so, ttuuxxx, can you supply a .pet for testing with, that is small in size (to minimise install time) and that has lots of missing deps in a standard 214X11?

cheers/

funny the first one I picked had about 10 missing wxgtk files (multiget) and it worked perfect no doubles, Then the second one I tried was missing like 2 deps and repeated the categories like 5 times each one, lol had to move the list to see the bottom, so that would be a good one to choose.

Tomorrow in about 15hrs or less, I'll be releasing v12, V12 is NOT!!! the last release before I resume 2.20, not even close, just that I did something to 2.14X tonight that tons of people wanted done when 2.14R was released like 3yrs ago and nobody could figure it out at the time

Ps I'm not saying what it was, until I release it, lol still will need lots of other updates etc, So 12.1 should be out about 3-5 days after, hopefully. lol

ttuuxxx, I had intended to work a bit on the requested petget-scrollbars, but you supplied me with a test-pet where yet another apparition of the very nasty bug that we've been chasing before popped up its ugly head

.

The nasty bug that displays all the multiple menu categories manifested itself now for .pets, where the basename of a file in the package is identical to the basename of the package itself

(in this case the .desktop-file itself).

I threw myself immediately into the fight, and the final battle stood in line 1066, where I with a well aimed thrust of my sharpened sword defeated the bug:

1066 APATTERN="s/\.\/$APKGNAME//g"

Cured me from this spell of Sunday afternoon boredom, but you'll have to wait for your scrollbars

. (You'll still have to supply a small .pet with a lot of missing deps, though.)

hope it helps/

Here ya go, I ripped apart the deps from a VLC package and knocked it down to 4.3MB, it gives you a list little more than a page long

http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/ttuuxxx/ ... -0.8.6.pet <----Just a junk file, will not work

just for testing purposes

Would a scrollbarred petget report window like this suffice

?

Nicked a bit of code here and there, and after many tries I got it to work with gtkdialog3 (a new dependency but, that's built-in anyway)

.

Don't think I broke anything, but please, testrun thoroughly.

Good time to already be here.....downloading now.

#1897 Post by **ttuuxxx** » Mon 28 Sep 2009, 06:17

now I'll start working on that list, lol plus maybe test menu/Desktop/JWM Configuration Because for the first time we are using JWM config2 scripts like 4 series does. I'm sure we'll have some fun fixing it, if any errors

James C · #1898 Post by **James C** » Mon 28 Sep 2009, 06:26

I'm getting my usual 150 KB/sec. download speed, so as soon as the dl finishes and I can burn it to disc I'll give it a quick live spin before I call it a night, or rather early morning.

Let the testing continue!

#1899 Post by **ttuuxxx** » Mon 28 Sep 2009, 06:45

The main 2 things about this release is xdg menus and JWM2

Now you can select jwm2 themes

ttuuxxx

ps looks like were missing a few icons, the theme switcher works anyways

Posting from 2.14 X 12.......

The new scrolling package manager gui should be a big hit, seems to work well.

Gxine does not have a menu entry .

Just been running live for about 5 minutes, but no "bugs" have jumped out at me yet . Will do a full install later today after I get some sleep.
