i compiled it using Vector Linux 4.3 (based on Slack)

i don't remember exactly what options i used, but i compiled support for just about everything, except xinerama

i also compiled a version with the standard lite options

it's not hard to make a package, it's harder to decide what to put in, and what to leave out, and what config options to choose

i can easily make an Unleashed package too

i don't know if the themes are ok ... i made a few themes because i didn't like the standard themes ... i included your 4colors themes because they might be good for a basic package (more stuff can be in extra packages)

Wooh! Go, GNUChess! :-) That package is definitely going on my remastering (well, once it has a graphical interface, anyway).

Icewm pup

#7 Post by Guest »

Hi Guesttoo. Just gave icewm a try - looks good - thanks!
The look of Puppy is the one point I don't like that much (meaning the fvwm95 look). I do absolutely like the simplicity and the small and great crafted wizards and all else in Puppy!! I also did not like the unix style window manager used in damnsmalllinux... What I like is the window manager used in luit linux (XFCE4?) or sawfish... used in spblinux...

I like the modern looking style :)

So with such great dotpup packages, one can try different looks and feels within Puppy...

Does anybody know of a comparison of small window managers with hardcopies, so one can get a impression of their look..?

Mplayer 1.0pre6-3.3.1

edit: 24/08/2006 attachment deleted to save space

mplayer - keyboard controlled
gmplayer - mouse controlled gui

F key to play full screen

this puts an icon in my-roxapps
drag the icon to the desktop if you want a shortcut

right click the icon for help and other menu items
(set Rox Run Action for video files, Uninstall Mplayer)

you can drag video files to the Mplayer icon if you like
(mp3s will play too)

rotate the ring around the Play button with the mouse to adjust the volume

left-clicking the control panel will popup an Open Files window

this will download a package of precompiled binaries from DSLs Ibilio website ... about 3 megs

mplayer requires about 8 megs of space ... about 12 megs to install

this installs in my-applications ... nothing is installed in /usr

if you run mplayer or gmplayer from the command line, there will be no messages ... to see messages, use mplayer2 or gmplayer2 instead ... for example, mplayer2 --help

tested in Puppy 1.0.1 and 1.0.2rc1

Xmms 1.2.9

puts an icon in my-roxapps

drag icon to desktop ... drag mp3s to icon ... right click icon for help, info, uninstall

requires about 1.5 megs

installs in my-applications

Note: To automatically have an Icewm systray icon when Xmms runs, add this line to /root/.icewm/winoptions:

xmms.tray: 1

or, this will make Xmms show only as a systray icon, and not at all in the task bar

xmms.tray: Exclusive

(edit: ver 0.0.2 - fixed no-/opt-bug, added missing wmxmms.xpm)

I think something is not working well with xmms

ln: /opt/xmms: No such file or directory
/root/my-applications/xmms/bin/xmms: error while loading shared libraries: libxmms.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

it works ok on my machine

the xmms files are installed in my-applications

they are linked to /opt (so xmms can find the plugins and library files)

you must run xmms from the icon in my-roxapps, or from my-applications/bin ... because it makes a symlink in /opt

it will not work to run the files in my-applications/xmms

do you have the dir /opt? ... if it is not there, it will not work
there should be a symiink to xmms in /opt, like in this picture:

You need Xboard. Once you install Xboard and get it working, set up script per Xboard instructions for GNU Chess 5:

By default, XBoard still tries to use GNU Chess 4 by running the command "gnuchessx". That's why if you don't have GNU Chess 4, you get the error message "Failed to start first chess program gnuchessx on localhost: gnuchessx: No such file or directory."

If you have GNU Chess 5, the command should be "gnuchess xboard" instead. To make XBoard use this command, give the -fcp parameter like this:

xboard -fd gnuchess_directory -fcp "./gnuchess xboard"

Here gnuchess_directory is the directory where you installed GNU Chess 5 and its book. You can add more xboard options at the end of the command line.


See Astrumi thread under MISC forum. I couldnt get the Xboard I copied from Astrumi to work, but Mepis 2004 had it and must have been newer version. Anyway it worked fine just copying the files. Mepis didnt have Gnuchess and was going to get it off Austrumi but saw GuestToo's pupfile so used it. Had script to run Xboard so just modified it per above instructions and now Gnuchess 5.07 works with Xboard. Beaware that Xboard has a LOT!!!! of options so can make it do just about anything if you do research to find them, just add them to the script.

Here is my script (make changes according to where you put Xboard files/directories):

#! /bin/sh
cd /usr/lib/games/xboard
./xboard.real -fd /root/my-applications/bin -fcp "./gnuchess xboard.real"
exit

Alienx, you made a giftui dotpup ... it is here:

http://www.goosee.com/puppy/wikka/DotPupsContributions

i can make an Xmule dotpup
Xmule is about 5 megs and needs a 5 meg library file, so the dotpup would download and install the binaries
i forgot where i got the binaries ... hopefully i wrote it down somewhere

bash works ok on my Puppy (i'm running it now) ... i have a line in rc.local that copies it from /root to /bin/sh ... i compiled 3 versions, 2.05b, 2.05b with a appdir patch (bash finds and executes a rox-app-dir as if it is an executable file), and 3.0

the really really nice thing about bash is it's history

somebody suggested a chess program, and gnuchess is small and easy to install, so i made a dotpup

xboard is larger and a bit harder to set up

i think xboard binary packages i was looking at were about 1.5 megs
