Hey Zigbert, I am full of good news today. Pprocess 2.1 causes a problem in luci-210 testing. When I click Pprocess from the menu, it does not open and the keyboard is dead. I use CTRL-ALT-BS to exit x and restart X and then the keyboard is back. Pprocess does not do this--I just checked on the same luci. Thanks.

dead keyboard and mouse have also been reported in Spup 0.3, as soon as Pprocess is started -- reported by edoc.

Version 2.1.1
See main post

Pprocess 2.1 in luci was not the same Pprocess 2.1 that shows up on my daily system.

Some idiot has uploaded wrong code.

Still, I could not reproduce the bug in luci...... Please confirm the bug with Pprocess 2.1.1. - I would not be surprised if it all works ok now, since 2.1.1 uses 'ps' instead of 'top' as its backend.

I see you have removed the locals from your compile, i was wondering if it was those lines of code that broke the one in spup. In my spup i changed the en-us to en-gb in the locals folder.

Bug:

Code: Select all

#set language
TMP="`ls -1 $PROGPATH/locals/ | grep $LANG`"
. $PROGPATH/locals/en_US:english #always run to fill gaps in translation
[ "$TMP" != "en_US:english" ] && . $PROGPATH/locals/$TMP 2> /dev/null

Auto language selection(pprocess, pmusic, pfind and others) will not work with a format different than xx_XX, locales like mine (es_PE.uft8) won't load automatically because of extra characters (.utf8).

Workaround: something like this:

Code: Select all

#set language
TMP="`ls -1 $PROGPATH/locals/ | grep ${LANG%.*}`"
. $PROGPATH/locals/en_US:english #always run to fill gaps in translation
#fallback to macrolanguage if available (ISO 639-1 two letter code: en, es, fr, etc.)
[ -z $TMP ] && TMP="`ls -1 $PROGPATH/locals/ | grep ${LANG%_*}:`" && echo $TMP
[ "$TMP" != "en_US:english" ] && . $PROGPATH/locals/$TMP 2> /dev/null

Ok, so now it will work with linguistically distinct variants like pt_PT and pt_BR and also work with "es" for "spanish", "us" for english, etc. when needed instead of trying to load es_AR, es_PE, es_ES, en_AU, en_GB, en_US.

Much better code. I have included it in Pburn, Pmusic, Pfind, Pfilesearch, Pprocess. If you don't have any immediate need of updated packages, I will ship them next time I take a look at their todo-list and fixes some issues. Right now it is Pmusic 1.3.0 on my screen.......

Thank you
Sigmund

No problem.

Please remove && echo $TMP from this line (set language code):

Code: Select all

[ -z $TMP ] && TMP="`ls -1 $PROGPATH/locals/ | grep ${LANG%_*}:`" && echo $TMP

It might give some problems...

My fault, sorry

I added pprocess to my bashbox script - it went fairly smoothly & I even added a couple of parameters for different formatting, but still need to add the locales. (I am trying to consolidate as many functions as possible into a single script to ease development) Once we get everything together we can probably do some significant code reduction through code reuse (another bonus would be a unified look and feel).

Let me know what you think....or any other goodies you'd like to see added. Is there a reason you have separate files for your functions?

hi all, hi zigbert,

thanks a lot, works fine.

But the languagefile misses some entries.
So I have added them, you get it via pm.

I think, this was not the last proggy from you
i will use

thanks again

Thank you for your effort!

wow has already made another attempt to improve the LANG detection (like in Pmusic, Pburn.....)

I will upload soon

version 2.2.2
- Bugfix: show value of $LOC_SERACHTEXT

Posted: **Fri 21 Jan 2011, 15:45**

In Wary 5.0 pprocess 2.2.2 behaves very unexpectedly.

When I try to run pprocess it opens for a split second and crashes immediately. Terminal gives me a reference to line 146.
This is a frugal install of Wary with a pupsave file.

When I install the tar.gz of version 0.3 from page 1 of this thread it runs fine.

Pprocess 2.2.2 works when I boot Wary with pfix=ram. So it is not a bug in pprocess.

Consequently I must have done something which causes this behavior and which is retained in the pupsave file.
Short of reinstalling and building a fresh pupsave file, do you have any idea for a possible remedy of this situation?

Posted: **Fri 21 Jan 2011, 19:43**

Pprocess crashes for me using Puppy 4.2 (specifically puplite 3.0)

It appears for a second, and then disappears..

I checked the terminal. it reports many errors similar to this:

Code: Select all

gtkdialog:1941 **: gdk_pixmap_new: assertion [blah]

Although it did work when I updated libc, glib, and many others

Posted: **Sun 23 Jan 2011, 05:57**

FWIW I booted 4.1.1 with pfix=ram and installed Pprocess 2.2.2 and it worked fine.
