Shinobar posted a SFS of Gimp 2.8 here
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 127#633013
and nobody has acknowledged it.
This is just to advise that it works perfectly in Barry's Precise, and also in UPup Precise.
Much appreciated, Shinobar.

Not to belabour a point but I whole-heartedly agree with nearly every word that "ahoppin" posted above. I wrote "nearly" only because I've clung tooth-and-nail to Lucid-Pup-5.28 and 3-Headed-Dog ( which is based upon Lucid-Pup-5.28-005 by the way ) for all this time until Jejy asked me whether or not this Precise happened to work on my ancient computer and its hardware - for a possible porting test of his new Mate/LXDE desktops.
It was a very sad day for me when Puppy endorsed Slacko and Slackware. I haven't a clue why ( and believe me I've wracked my brain and beat up this computer trying to figure out WHY!? ) but my ancient machine refuses to work on Slacko/Slackware no ifs, ands, or buts! - yet it has this definite love affair with anything Debian/Ubuntu! I find this very odd myself as Slackware is known for being lite-weight whereas the two latter load on the dependencies galore.
Be that as it may my 10 year old system screams lightning-fast under Lucid and I figured I would be using this until my computer's motherboard blew a gasket and ended up in the recycle bin outside my window.
That was until a few days ago and when I loaded BarryK's Precise Puppy here only to discover newer software and an OS which is just as fast as my beloved Lucid upon which Playdayz and crew worked so many hours, and placed so much love and care, into producing for us!
So I too agree with ahoppin here! I so desperately hope that someone out there with the calibre of Micko, PlayDayz, WhoDo, Tux, et al, will step forth and grab the horns of Precise to give us yet another LTS Puppy build. I'd be tempted to take this one on myself if it weren't for the fact that my own time for being here was perhaps now limited to months.
Please? Anyone?
Cheers/Amicalement,

I am reluctant to switch away from 525.ahoppin wrote: I've gotten truly outstanding service from Lucid 525 over the past year...
One of the features I love is the binary compatibility with Ubuntu...
... The Ubuntu official repository is huge and well maintained...
... That makes the idea of a new Ubuntu-derived Puppy using LTS Precise *really* appealing.
I've hung in there with Lucid 525, not even moving to 528,...
So if you're thinking about it .... nudge, nudge ... please?
Lucid 525 is an outstanding release. I discovered unpleasant issues with 528, and reverted back to 525.
The Ubuntu repository's success is important in many ways. It's not simply the "number" of packages. There's much more to it.
Indeed, it would be a pleasant surprise to see the Puppy Linux development continue in that successful direction, in spite of the tremendous reluctance by some of the puppy developers.

Precise Puppy beta3 is coming soon, with 3.2.27 kernel and latest Woof goodies.
This evening I plan to start reading this forum thread, from page 15 which was when beta2 got released.
Yes, as 01micko mentioned, I am planning on writing a "big app" and slowing down the pace of Woof/Puppy development.
Well, I do make plans... but it doesn't always turn out that way. Those who have known me for a long time know how many times I have planned to "retire".
Anyway, Precise beta3 is on the way!

Note to BarryK:
Have you looked at how Shinobar organises his Japanese distribution
into separate SFS packages? It has potential.
The Porteus distribution uses something similar but calls them
'XZM Modules' You store these modules in a specified folder
and they load automatically during boot process. ...But there
is an option to not load modules or change the location of
modules folder.
I was able to get his Japanese Seamonkey SFS to work in Precise.
The goffice contains Abiword ,gnumeric and Inkscapelite
but I couldn't get it to work in precise.

I got an idea while looking a Tazoc's Lighthouse 503
He puts a mhwaveedit configuration file in his ISO
so that the first time a user launches mhwaveedit
it will have a wide window and less vertical scroll bars.
It's a nice touch!!
Here's the file he uses ----> /root/.mhwaveedit/config
Note that there is a line for window geometry

Yeah, that coloured background is weird.mavrothal wrote:I do not have any ideamavrothal wrote:Geany has "funny" colors in screens with 16 bit depth.
I remember having seen some comment on Pemasu's Precise but no solution.
Even if you get new color schemes for geany, the problem persists.
Googling for it, looks like an Ubuntu problem though I came across a likely bug in Fedora 17.
Anyone has any idea?but I compiled Geany from the latest git in Precise 5.2.60 using the defaults and works fine.
No green background color.
The exe, dev, doc,and nls pets are all together here, in case someone with this problem needs them (md5sum: 5a1f194888d1121dcaa6c0adb650bc32)
For beta2 I am using Geany PET from Wary.

Yeah, I changed the 'glibc' template in Woof a little while ago, so the full-size gconv-modules will be used.shinobar wrote:Thanks Barry for making a link /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/gtk.immodules.
But still we have a problem.We are aware that the /usr/lib/gconv is cut down. So we add japanese stuff with the lang_pack_ja. Of cource we need to refresh the cache running 'iconvconfig'.shinobar wrote:The SCIM in lang_pack_ja worked on Pemasu's precise and on Barry's alpha-3 by the treatment above.
But on the beta-1(EDIT: and beta-2), SCIM launches and can input KANA letters but fails to convert int KANJI letters. Pressing the space-bar to swithing the mode but does not work.
The problem is the file /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules is also cut down. We reverted the file with the one of the alpha3 and re-run 'iconvconfig'. Now the SCIM works OK,
There is a room to condider the file gconv-modules to be cut down or not...

Hello BarryK
In the DOTconfig of the 3.2.27 kernel that you have just compiled it has this:
The Xorg instructions for Radeon kernel modesetting are here:
http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonBuildHowTo# ... odeSetting
It says there should be:
Do you think this could be why the current Radion GPU driver stack does not work on Precise Puppy? KMS is a requirement for the R600g driver.
The other Puppy devs say that they use your DOTconfig. So, if this is wrong, their kernel will not work with the current Radeon drivers, either.
Thanks
In the DOTconfig of the 3.2.27 kernel that you have just compiled it has this:
Code: Select all

CONFIG_DRM_R128=m

My experience has been that the 'iconvconfig' utility creates a broken cache file. I went down that route before, had to go back to either the full cache file as supplied by the original libc package, or no cache file.shinobar wrote:Got a side-effect with abiword, it got unstable. I suspect the gconv-modules does not match with the modules contained, because we did not add fullset, so the iconvconfig makes imcompleted cache.shinobar wrote:The problem is the file /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules is also cut down. We reverted the file with the one of the alpha3 and re-run 'iconvconfig'. Now the SCIM works OK,
Maybe solved if we rebuild the gconv-modules with the modules currently containd (maybe we can find the code in woof, right?), but we take a tentative solution for the japanese:
- Add gconv modules for Japanese.
- Replace the /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules with the one of Ubuntu fullset.
- Remove /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache.
It would be a very painful choice to go for the full set of files in /usr/lib/gconv, given Puppy's history of keeping things as small as possible. Our cutdown collection occupies 669KB, the full set is 6452KB (compresses to 2.5MB) in Ubuntu Precise.
But, it seems that the cutdown choice of files, plus the original full cache file, works. So I will keep that arrangement.

To compile vlc with subtitle support, you need more files to the /usr/lib/gconv. I noticed that when I included the whole gconv folder content. Vlc compile with subtitle support succeeded.
The result was confirmed by Billtoo also.

That thread has several other Precise Puppy compiled apps more.

All compile OK on racy530
When compiled on racy530, all will run on precise5260!
I have created a PET '0hack1_precise_dev' that fixes the devx so Sylpheed will compile.
It is a difficult situation, as Debian/Ubuntu do not put the /usr/lib/*.la files from their DEBs. I think this is because of their multi-architecture dementia.
Anyway, I have created some .la files in my "hack" PET.
I will upload the Sylpheed PET soon.
