Hi recobayu,

Typically, I do not connect my phone to Puppy but a quick experiment with PupCamera worked fine with my motorola phone (see images below).

If this does not work for you, maybe others could offer alternative advice.

1 - Connect active phone to PC with usb cable
2 - Dpup Stretch Menu -> Graphic -> PupCamera

Not yet tried to download pictures from my phone. It should work . See that later..
About apps, installed ((the verb to learn, happily regular) Geeqie, because pictures can be sorted by date, that is better for diaporama than alphabetical.
Lazpaint loaded as Sfs is perfect.

But i fail with Gramps, genealogy, either from PPM or my suitcase pets..
# gramps
bash: /usr/bin/gramps: /usr/bin/python3: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
#

GIMP, as Sfs on the fly (not tested as a pet)

CamPhoneTab - USB interface for cameras/phones/tablets is what i use with Puppy for my phone.

Puppy linux install on 8 GB USB flash, SSD drive Just use Grub4Dos, Nothing to move, Keep all your software, just insert Dpup Stretch beside.

I have GRAMPS installed and running at this time. I noted that GRAMPS is looking for /usr/bin/python3. This does not exist. /usr/bin/python3.5 does exist. You can fix this by right clicking on /usr/bin/python3.5 in the ROX-Filer and selecting "Link" from the context menu. Change the name from python3.5 to python3. This will allow GRAMPS to start as shown below.

Hi radky,
regarding my post here (sorry for its wrong place

)
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 229#980229
the 4.9.71 kernel iso has goffice-0.8.16 in it instead of goffice-0.8.17.

Loading the goffice-0.8.17.pet from wheezy repo fixes the issue ....
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... 0.8.17.pet
but gnumeric launched from terminal still reports:
(Although it does not seem to affect gnumerics usability...)

Code: Select all

# gnumeric

(gnumeric:2493): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 950 was not found when attempting to remove it

(gnumeric:2493): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 987 was not found when attempting to remove it

(gnumeric:2493): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 1321 was not found when attempting to remove it

(gnumeric:2493): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 2267 was not found when attempting to remove it

(gnumeric:2493): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 2669 was not found when attempting to remove it

(gnumeric:2493): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 2825 was not found when attempting to remove it

etc...etc...

HTH,

Hi Radky,
I am reposting this observation from rcrsn51 (Bill) in another Stretch thread just in case it was missed.

The Stretch version of the GTK File Chooser window tries to make your life easier by showing you ALL your available mount points. These include everything in /etc/fstab (which don't make any sense as mount points in a Puppy frugal setup) and ALL the available partitions.

Compare this to older versions of the file chooser where the left panel just goes down to File System, plus any bookmarked locations. Partitions only appear in the panel if you have mounted them yourself.

I cannot find any configuration option to turn the bad behaviour off - it must be baked into the code. I guess that someone thought this was a good idea.

Maybe it makes sense when used in some other desktop environment.

A GTK guru would need to comment on whether it's possible to downgrade GTK to a more Puppy-friendly version without breaking stuff.

Gnumeric and goffice will be fixed in the next Dpup release.

Thank you charlie6.

I cannot find any configuration option to turn the bad behaviour off - it must be baked into the code. I guess that someone thought this was a good idea.

Extraneous fstab binds appeared as unwanted mounts in the gtkfilechooser of early releases of Dpup Stretch, but this was fixed (see attached image) in the Beta-2 release of 9 Dec 2017 (and all subsequent releases).

The fix entails a recompilation of dpup's glib-2.50.3 with the --disable-libmount parameter.

See Dpup Stretch changelog:

Thanks for your comments.

Ah yes, thanks for reply Radky, I was just getting used to pcfman file manager and that places section, it was just if I hit the power off button on a lappy, I didn't want it screwing up the drive on a frugal.

On another note, I have had to lock the permissions on root .jwmrctray, it seems to revert back to a previous version on xrestart and overwrites.
It is very complicated with files in root jwm, etc/xdg/jwm root config and other places.
EDIT: I just tweaked things with the desktop manager and then remastered.
That fixed it.

Has anyone else had Pale Moon terminate for no apparent reason? This has happened to me a few times after Dpup Stretch k4.1.48 (RC1? Anyway, I downloaded and burned the DVD on Jan 1, before the date of the present RC2) had been running (along with Pale Moon) for several days. As far as I can remember, I wasn't doing a thing and Pale Moon just blinked out, leaving only the desktop. The last time, Pale Moon wouldn't restart. In fact, I had to reboot because nothing worked at all.

Flash:

I have browser login problems on one OZ bank site.
radky has looked at this for me and can't replicate it.

Woof CE Debian Stretch by ttuuxxx does not do this.

I suggest using >> slimjet-15.1.6.0-i686.pet

by OscarTalks. I hope I posted the right developer.
I think this was a Slacko version?????
Can someone chip in and correct me if I am wrong about Slacko.

I use this on both Stretch versions.
I stop updates, usage stats, I use Ixquick as the start page,
make Google the search engine default, and a few others.
Always runs well.

Hi Flash, Pale Moon seems to be running run ok here, K 4.1.48. Maybe a few optimisations in preferences might help.

CUPS working well.
Peasy Scan working well.

Hi, it seems that dpkg is giving issues to the drivers.

Hi,
see last edited below: need to upgrade xf86-input-wacom driver to version later than 0.34.0
I just got a look in xerrs.log to see if eveything was OK ... and found the following !
xerrs.log reports a bug each time something is written from keyboard, or maybe upon each move action from my wacom tablet .. as far as I can see...

Here using the same wacom tablet since many years on various Puppies without issue ..

Over the time to write this post, xerrs.log increased from ca. 120 lines to ca. 4100 lines, only repeatedly filled with the below paragraph

here is the xerrs.log repeated section:

Except that bug reported in xerrs.log, the system runs as expected without noticeable flaw for me (...although below link reports system freezing ! )

Anything to worry about ???
Thanks for any advice.

This is a wacom <--> kernel bug as reported here:

Looking on my side if there is a fix.

fix:
this DpupStretch k4.1.48.iso comes with embedded xf86-input-wacom version 0.34.0 which has a bug according to above mentioned link.
This bug has been fixed with current version 0.36.0 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxw ... 2/download): went just to compile and install it: no more error in xerrs.log

Ok, found a bug in stretchPup for radky, he left both the puppy linux default dpkg manager, and also the debian default one.

Hi frenchiveruti,

In /usr/bin of Dpup Stretch you will find the standard dpkg and dpkg-deb. The dpkg item is a symlink to busybox, which is partially responsible for the failed installation of your Xerox Phaser 3020 printer. The next Dpup release will contain the full binaries of dpkg_1.18.24_i386.deb plus the dpkg-architecture perl module and cputable file required for your printer installation.

Now I'm getting a different error, with PERL,

The missing perl modules in your log file are not included in the standard pupsfs or devx, but you can install the following.

1 - go to PPM and install libdpkg-perl_1.18.24_all.deb for multiple dpkg perl modules
2 - the ANSIcolor.pm perl module is available in the attached ansicolor-pm-stretch.tar.gz

I hope this helps.

Hi charlie6,

As time permits, could you test the attached wacom-0.36 driver?

Thanks
