Here is an
experimental Quickpet
Be warned The program is stable but the naming conventions are not in place in PPM, so behaviour is unstable. Quickpet now reads the same file as PPM to download the goods. Consequently, some files wont download at all, others will get different versions.
There is now a check to see if you have enough space, well 2 checks;
---one warns that you will have less than 40M of space left after install and offers the option to continue or abort,
---the other aborts because quickpet now knows if a program will kill your pupsave (or partition
)
If you want stable behaviour,
don't use this package, if you want to test and provide feedback then by all means give it a go.
Known programs that work are, Vlc and Opera. Firefox and Seamonkey are broken, nearly all packages on the first page are broken, the nvidia drivers work, probably Xorg_High too.
playdayz and myself will come to some arrangement for naming conventions.
Have fun testing
Cheers

If I run from console, shows DeaDBeef 0.4.1 starting and thats all that happens

I'm running it in frugal installs of both Maverick and DPup 004 on my old P3....no problems at all.Installed the pet and it works.

Better we compile that one
I loaded Osmo-0-2.8-p4.pet from pet packages-4/ and it works great
in this versioin
this pet package is 380 kb
yarddog
I'll confirm this. I manually extracted the files and replaced the existing Osmo files and it's working fine.

Hi all
you can also get the deadbeef .deb file (1.5mb) from their website and it installed straight into 5.11 without having to make a pet of it. I dont know about maverick though
Hope this helps

Hehe, Puppy wins again
Our DeaDBeeF pet is just 200 KB, it's a great replacement for Pmusic. Originally, I made a 200 KB pet which beat the 250 KB of dejan555's Aqualung. Then, dejan555 recompiled DeaDBeeF, this time he hacked the menus to remove some non-functioning items, around 215 KB but it's worth it
About ffmpeg ... playdayz, would you like me to make a new ffmpeg that can be used by both dpup and Maverick? Some shared code won't do any harm

James C. Your wallpaper is nice. Is it somewhere for downloading or is it even in luci maverick. Yes, I havent had time to download and play with it yet.

It is the default wallpaper

I thought so. I feel really ashamed. Well...Maybe tomorrow I have time to play with Lucid Maverick. But that wallpaper goes to my Luci 5.1.1.

Someone beat me to it.
There are a lot of releases to keep up with...........Barry K also used the same wallpaper on a earlier Quirky or Wary too.
Puppy is never dull.....

How about Maverick Puppy or MavPup

Great work! Thanks for the sneak preview.
Maybe I'm a little fussy, but I find 'Lucid Maverick' and Luma a bit confusing... is it Lucid Lynx or Maverick Meerkat, or a combination?
Seems like this could be Maverick Puppy or Mav Pup.
There was Lupu, now maybe Mapu.
Just my 2 cents.
Thanks again for many contributions to Puppy,
TazOC

Hi TazOC
The intention is to stick with the 'lupu' prefix for upgrading capability from Puppy 5.x.x as far as I understand.
Playdayz always uses a separate prefix for dev versions until the final few versions, hence 'luma'. As for the actual name well I guess that is a bit up in the air at the moment
Thanks for your interest.
Cheers

Wouldn't
Puma be better than Mapu?

luma-002 :
Running fine as usual
CUPS 1.4.3 : first time I encountered
Epson_Stylus_SX410-1 geany job #3 root 253k Unknown stopped
"/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopdf failed"
shinobars' lupq-510rc CUPS-1.4.3 I`ve tested today was working fine
dpup-005 CUPS 1.4.4 I`ve not tested already .. dpup-004 CUPS-1.4.4 blocked with username and password ...

Fresh frugal install of Luma-002 on the old P3.Initial boot had working sound internet and screen resolution.Installed Xorg-High and Firefox.
Tested MPlayer with avi, wmv and mp4 so far.........when playing fullscreen the picture occasionally goes to a bluescreen for a few seconds before returning to the video. No problem watching the default size though. No apparent problems with audio.Using JWM, will try Icewm later.

Looks good so far. Thanks for the sneak peek.
Packages installed: Nvidia-256.35_lupu500-k2.2.33.2, hplip-3.9.12-scan, Bibletime-2.7.2-Lucid, gnome-games-Lite_2.26.1-i486-uj,
VLC-1.0.6-Lucid, numlockx_Lucid_1.1.10, Firefox-4.9b3-Lucid (upgraded to b6), dude-0.4.1, pwidgets-2.2.7, PupShutdown-1.3, Thunderbird-3.1-Lucid. SFS files: amarok-1.4-lucid.sfs, wine-1.31-i486-sfs4.sfs. OpenOffice-3.2.sfs.
All of which work fine in Lucid 5.1.1.
Two problems, if not for these (especially Thunderbird), I'd say it's already beta quality:
(1) Thunderbird refuses to link to /mnt/home/.thunderbird, otherwise it works well. I've tried installing it from Maverick repositories, however it has missing dependencies that I can't locate. I have no problem with relative links with other programs.
(2) Amarok fails to run
Code: Select all
# amarok
Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp..
Amarok: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp.
kbuildsycoca running...
QLayout "unnamed" added to QVBox "unnamed", which already has a layout
