(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi,

I attach a new configuration file for 214x Control Panel. I followed some Dave´s suggestions:

- Added Date item.
- Added Country settings (includes locale and keyboard settings)
- Moved HotPup to Drives.

Any comment is welcome.

Hello !

R vs X

There are a few more instances in the scripts where an R should be substituted by an X, I hadn't found them all when I reported on this earlier .

The R:s appear on the form of pup_*R.sfs, or similar, in (I think) the installer scripts (at least).

I just happened to see it when checking if the R-X fix was implemented, haven't checked thoroughly, though - yesterday I was working from 9 AM till 2 AM , and I'm at it again today.

Cheers /
MHHP

H I found about 10 R's which should of been X's in the installer, here's a updated fixed version. Any testers?

clarf, on 214x i have never been able to use xorg b/c is crashes in firefox everytime, so I always have to use xvesa and i have always had the issues you mentioned. when i load a new 214X version I boot up in xorg b/c xvesa won't shutdown but don't go on the internet b/c firefox will freeze my computer. so... as mentioned, i boot in xorg shutdown, create a save file, boot back up, switch to xvesa, restart X and then I am good to go. thats my routine but since you asked yes, i have the same issues initially.

Thanks for the report sinc, good to know I´m not the only one, because I was thinking in a hardware issue. Should track down the real problem...

Edit: In shutdown and reboot scripts there`s a "killall X" command.

When I use this command with Xorg puppy exits to terminal but it doesn`t work with Xvesa.

X is a simlynk to Xvesa or Xorg its depends from xorgwizard configuration, I think "killall X" really terminates Xorg or Xvesa executable. Could it be fixed using other Xvesa executable file?, the actual Xvesa file can`t be killed???.

Is there vlc 0.86 compatible with the 2.14XX ? I need it because of its subtitles handling. My smallest son is able to navigate avi and subtitles from the hard disk using vlc.
I have 2.14V16 testing in my laptop. And I am thinking to put 2.14 the fourth Puppy for my son.

At finnish school the whole school has linux terminals just installed. Web school-environment is now aveilable with browser.
The computer tearcher visited my son`s class and asked who knows what linux is. My son answered: "I have Puppy Linux as operating system".

So I will continue educating my son with good Puppys.

With best regards

Thank you for responding so quickly. Take your time, I have no hurry when I know it might be possible.

Sorry clarf but I'm having problems extracting and installing your latest control panel zip file 214x_tabble_conf_20091128.zip
Tried using fileroller and Xarchiver in 214RC but nothing shows up extracted.
What am I doing wrong?

I can use BootManager with up to 8 SFS files

Now that gets me totally and utterly confused. I thought all the good work you guys had done meant we could have up to 20? sfs files.

Sorry for the missunderstaning Dave you can load up to 20 sfs files, but I only had 8 sfs in HD for Puppy 2 series.

Thanks for the clarification.

Did you see my other post above asking about your Control Panel zip file?

Hi Guys as 2.14X and gtk1 goes, well it can use gtk1 apps, but compiling them has always been a bit of a issue, So I recompiled Gtk1 and it works fine for compiling. These packages contain the all the files including devs and locals, I only removed the docs and man packages. a basic Xmms also is the same since its used by a lot of music apps, dev files should be included.

For gtk1 you'll need the following 3 files
http://puppylinux.asia/tpp/ttuuxxx/2.14 ... 0-i386.pet
http://puppylinux.asia/tpp/ttuuxxx/2.14 ... 0-i386.pet
http://puppylinux.asia/tpp/ttuuxxx/2.14 ... 0-i386.pet

you can test it either with Xmms
http://puppylinux.asia/tpp/ttuuxxx/2.14 ... 1-i386.pet
or this really nice 84kb image viewer with some nice features.

Yes Dave, after read your post I downloaded that zip, it´s OK here (tested in a Windows 2K machine and old XP machine, sorry I´m not at home now to test it with Puppy).

Could you download it again please and try to unpack it?.

clarf

Hello clarf,
Thanks for getting back to me.

I've repeated what I did before...with the same result.
I downloaded your zip file again. As 214X didn't seem to be able to unzip it I went to a Windows PC and used Winzip. Got a file called .tabble

Transferred that to my 214XRC install and it seems to be a text file. Clicking on it of course just launches a text reader.

What am I supposed to do wIth this file? Sorry for my ignorance.
Has anyone else managed to unzip it with 214X and knows where to install it?

Hi dave just drop it in /root Its a config file only.
It uses the table packages I've been providing earlier.

here's a gtk1 Othello Game

Thanks ttuuxxx. Got it working now. Although I still think it would be better in the Setup section of the Menus.

Just one thing shouldn't file-roller or X-archiver be able to unzip this?
