For some unknown reason, the current versions of SAMBA have disappeared from PPM.

Instead, the older, less secure and less stable version is showing up. Are you aware of this? Can you explain what happened?

See PPM list below in alphabetic order..

I recommend samba-3.5.8-w5.sfs found here.

Thanks @Shinobar for responding.
You MAY want to announce your latest SAMBA offering along side your 3.5.6 package that you produced here. This would make it easy for anyone to find your latest SAMBA packaging within your thread, there..

Question:
My original question is about PPM in the preceeding post.

I'm trying to understand how PPM actually works.

Who controls what we see in any Puppy PPM?
Why did SAMBA change in the PPM from version 3.5.6 in PPM to older, less stable version 3.4.2? (I had used PPM in WARY to install 3.5.6 early last week; so something/someone changed PPM contents)
How do you or anyone get necessary stuff there for community use?

Would anyone explain, please.

Thanks in advance, for any help anyone can provide on understanding PPM and how things are made available to be used..

P.S. It appears that Version 3.5.8 is not updating the Menu as the installation message indicates.

I am having a save session Live media save session problem, It happens on all of my latest Live CD/DVDs whenever I save the session (Save to CD) on reboot.

I see there is a folder here with the files found in the ISO.

Would someone share with me what tool Shinobar used to go from this folder to a bootable CD? Please include the parms as well. I am trying to pin-point the issue and need to use the exact parms/steps used to create the ISO

Thanks in advance.

If the pupsaveconfig does not work properly, try 'Legacy' save.

To make original Live CD/DVD, see how to include additional packages in the live CD:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 506#502506

Or reffer the next code:

Code: Select all

[ -f $WORKDIR/grldr ] && BOOTPARM="-b grldr"
[ -f $WORKDIR/isolinux.bin ] && BOOTPARM="-b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat"
[ "$VOLID" ] && VOLI="-V $(echo "$VOLID"|tr ' ' '_')"
mkisofs -J -D -R $VOLI -o "$DESTDIR/$ISONAME" $BOOTPARM -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table "$WORKDIR"

Or, simply,

Code: Select all

mkisofs -J -D -o "$DESTDIR/$ISONAME" -b grldr -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table "$WORKDIR"

BarryK reports the Joliet option(-J) makes drouble with multi session, but I think it causes no trouble.
Hope you test with and without the Joliet option(-J).

Hi,

shinobar wrote:... the seamonkey version is old 2.0.11, and it crashes by insert-key.
They shall be fixed with additional PET or next release, maybe wary-512q(?).

I got a try on installing Barry's gtk+-2.20.1-1-w5.pet (downloadable from ibiblio pet-packages-wary repository also with associated -DEV -DOC -NLS pets).
I am currently writing this post using wary511-q01 with the above gtk+-2.20.1-1-w5.pet + gtk+_NLS-2.20.1-1-w5.pet installed .. and hitting the insert key does not crash SM.
Thanks a lot Barry!
Cheers, Charlie

By the default, only CJK locales can use scim, but you can add your locale like this:
"/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-scim.so"
"scim" "SCIM Input Method" "scim" "/usr/share/locale" "ja:ko:zh:en"

For me these were lines 40 and 41, if that helps anyone else.

I have spent hours and hours searching these forums, documentation, wikis, and more without finding this answer. Even the official SCIM instructions are horrendously out-of-date (the dialogs are different), plus they are not accurate for a custom distro such as Quickset (as far as I can tell).

Thank God trying to follow those things didn't mess up my X or anything...I'd hate to start with a clean Puppy at this point.

Lesson learned: Google first!

All I had to do was edit the /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules file as above. I didn't even have to restart SCIM...the "SCIM" IME button just appeared instantly in my panel.

Great job configuring Quickset so everything is easy as pie! The only improvement I could ask is adding the above information to the Quickset README in the future.

In the Quickset editions, the script '/usr/local/bin/fixmenus_on_locale' automatically does the modification.
You can run it from the main menu > 'Desktop' > 'Refresh Desktop'.

I have made i18n and l10n_ru packages for Wary-5.1.2. i18n contains gettext scripts. l10n_ru contains everything else for Russian l10n. i18n_dev contains pot-files for translation, and also scripts itself so it could be changed or updated and new pot-files could be generated.
I am planning to do the same thing to Spup-121.02.
i18n pet should be installed first and then l10n.

I've been trying to get a Japanese IME running on a Puppy 525 system.

I found a blog post that said I needed three more packages in addition to the japanese language pack in the ibiblio repository. I discovered I could download those packages from this repository.

I am now to the point where SCIM+Anthy appears to be correctly installed. If I set my locale to jp the IME works. But if the locale is set to en the IME does not work.

So I've been looking for help and the above quote from shinobar looks like it could be the answer. However there is no file called im-scim.so in my /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/ folder and I have no idea how to create one.

~edit~

OK, I figured it out. The im-scim.so file isn't the one to be edited, it's the /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules file that needs the edit. Thank you shinobar, my IME works for locale en now.
