X error messages are usually in /tmp/xerrs.txt

the file is erased every time X starts, so you can read it before you start X again, or you can copy it somewhere first

pawm error message

#109 Post by PeterSieg »

That's the contents of /tmp/xerrs.txt from startx pawm in 1.0.3 bare bones:

*** INTERNAL ERROR, please report so it can be fixed!
* Process 1396 aborting...
* errno <2> (No such file or directory)
* pawn-2.0.1 (pawindow) pawindow_init()@src/pawindow.c:1558
Report bugs to David Gomez <david@pleyades.net>


I assume an important difference between 1.0.3 full (were it is working?)
and 1.0.3 bare bones and 1.0.2 50m versions. Probably it is searching for
icon files etc. that it can not found? To bad, that it doesn't tell what is missing/not found :(

PS
Have fun :)

look at the source code in pawindow.c line 1558 and you might be able to tell.

mp3blaster dotpup

#111 Post by Bruce B »

mp3blaster version 3.2.0
a non graphical mp3 player for Puppy

home: http://www.stack.nl/~brama/mp3blaster.html


mp3blaster.pup by Bruce B - June 2005

This is an excellent full featured non-graphical mp3 player for use
with the console.

It works well with icewm and the aterm dotpup package by GuestToo.
It also works well in command line mode.

There are key binding conflicts with rxvt while running X
at least with F1, F2, F3, F4 and maybe more.

You might be able to work around the key-binding problems with
.mp3blasterrc, but I recommend aterm because I think
it is an easy solution.

To use: simply type mp3blaster on the command line to bring up the
interface.

madplay 0.15.2 (beta)
Command-line mp3 player

madplay.pup packaged for Puppy by Bruce B, June 2005

home: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mad/

------------------------

Puppy has command-line utilities for playing cdroms, wav files and with this dotpup
package you can play .mp3 files from the command-line.

The actual name of this player is 'madplay'. Puppy has a madplay symlink that
links to Gxine. This presents a slight naming conflict, so I renamed 'madplay' to
'mp3play'. It works just the same.

After installing the dotpup package you can decide if you wish to delete Puppy's
link to Gxine at /usr/local/bin/madplay and rename mp3play to madplay.

I hope you enjoy this little utility.

--------------------------------

Filelist:

/usr/share/doc/madplay/
/usr/share/doc/madplay/madplay.html
/usr/share/doc/madplay/copyright
/usr/share/doc/madplay/madplay.man.txt
/root/my-applications/lib/libmad.so.0
/root/my-applications/lib/libmad.so.0.2.1
/root/my-applications/bin/mp3play


I recommend reading madplay.man.txt in the doc directory for
learning keyboard shortcuts

PDF Conversion Wizard

#114 Post by thoughtjourney »

I've created a PDF conversion wizard that uses Abiword and Ghostscript in a two-stage process. There is the usual gui interface and a cli, which is a bit quicker.

Once installed, click on puppyPDF to run the wizard, or type

puppyPDF -i <inputfile> -o <outputfile>

I have included a dodge little icon if you want to associate it with the puppyPDF file in /root/my-applications/bin.

I've used functions in the script, which means bash is required for it to execute. I think bash is standard from Puppy 1.0.3 and onwards??

less version 382 - dotpup

#115 Post by Bruce B »

less version 382 - by Mark Nudelman

Less is a small feature rich utility for displaying text files and output
from the command line.

Home http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/

------------------------------------------------------

Less382.pup packaged by Bruce B - June 2005

This package includes the following two files:

/root/my-applications/bin/less (the executable)
/usr/share/doc/less.html (documentation written by me)

Typical uses for less are viewing text files bigger than the height of the screen.
For text files with only a few lines, you would use cat.

Also used for large outputs such as ls listings which scroll off the page. With less,
you can backup or move forward using the appropriate keyboard keys, and view the beginning of
the output.

A couple simple usage examples:

* for viewing ls output:

ls -la | less

* for viewing a file:

less /etc/services

Less can do much more than described above, you can visit the homepage to
get details of how to use its many features.

Enjoy!

I've come across some neat JWM themes, and thought I'd bottle them for you all.

BTW, thanks, Barry, for introducing us to JWM! I'm finding it an excellent replacement for IceWM. Very customizable :)

Check out joesbox's site for more themes, and an example of how to create your own:

thanks thoughtjourney - did not work for me (I have had problems with JWM in the past)- but it all seems to be there

It may be the resolution or some other feature - would be interested in screen shots

Also I do not quite understand the file sizes the forum is reporting? They seem larger than they actually are? What is the difference between the two posts.

Have I confused myself again?

Could it be the server is reporting the file size on its disc or something like that?

:-) I have the power!

Deleted the first post - one confusion gone :)

Well the instructions are very clear - so I followed them. I even rebooted rather than just reset JWM which all did nothing.

JWM has been troublesome in the past and seems OK now. So the fact that NOTHING happened is not surprising. JWM did lock up. Then I pressed alt + x and it stayed locked. So I pressed ctrl + alt + backspace and when I pressed startx JWM it seemed to be trying to load the WM (weird graphics would flash in memory but the screen would return to the prompt without loading) So my feeling is it was almost there and would work on another machine.

So now I was stuck in the prompt #
by typing startx fvwm95 was able to return to a WM

Just thought I would give it a go . . .
I am using the Puppy Official 1.0.2

I think others will have better luck

Do you know what version of JWM Barry was using in 1.02? The news page states the JWM was upgraded to 0.23 in May, after 1.02 was released.

From the theme-guy's website:

"The only requirement is that you use JWM v0.22.0 "

Dunno

I am using the version with 1.0.2
Perhaps some kind person would email the JWM theme guy to ask about upgrades? (not me I am too lazy)

ok, I have a couple of screenshots. I am one of the lucky people with a dodgy chipset, so the graphics are not what you'd call great. Please don't judge the themes on my monitor! Someone with a normal setup may be able to provide better shots

Icewm standard themes Unleashed package

These are the Icewm themes that came with the sources for Icewm 1.2.21

after clicking the dotpup, you should find the Unleashed package in /root/my-documents
(a dotpup checks itself using md5sums, so you should be sure the Unleashed package downloaded ok)
