webcam, kopete & skype 2.
hi!
I am interesting in using webcam to communicate with my parents and friends. In linux two programms are an excellent choice, Kopete and Skype 2 (and wengo phone: the windows version of wengo phone operates in puppy in wine!)
there are different problems:
a/ Skype:
Webcam needs Skype 2 (the webcam is not implemented for Skype 1). So I did install Skype 2 on Skype 1 (offered as standard in the wunderfull derivated distro TEENpup 2008). After that both did announce a "data base error" and both didn't start (any more)! I suppose it would be better to erase manually Skype 1 including that terrible data base before to install Skype 2. I can find Skype1. But I can't recognize the other dependant files, especially the data base files!
(Remark for John Biles: Skype 1 is a standard package from Puppy and no other package is dependant of it. It is a bad choice to make it obligatory in a new distro just in a time where the other version already exists as PET-package because it would be much easy to add it with the usual "install" than to try to erase it now to install the skype.2.0.0.63.pet! In this point, TEENpuppy ist "overloaded"! )
b/ Kopete:
I use Kopete for Yahoo, live MSN messenger and ICQ.
I my opinion is Yahoo the best choice because it is possible to communicate if the communication is bad, intermittent or if the friend is not online: You send your message and he will find it as soon as the communication become better or as soon he goes online. So is the yahoo messenger already 10 years my main messenger choice.
But with the Webcam he needs the libjasper AND libjasper-runtime.
There are 2 little lib's (AND dependences!) but if they are not available, no communication through the webcam.
What is the minimal equipment possible to make that kopete works in TEENpup?
c/ wine:
wine.9.0.60.pet installs but don't works. I don't have all wine packages for Puppy. but wine.9.0.28 works. Different as Skype, it is possible to overwrite wine by an other wine version. it would be really better to get the best wine version directly with TEENpup because it is really easy to overwrite or erase it (the main files are all under /usr/bin/ and wineblablabla easy to find!)
but
I love TEENpup: it is actually really the best distro on 1 CD!
last wish:
a easy way to interchange the keyboard layouts. in the past (puppy version 1.xx) we did have the package Keyboard-layouts.pup. it works in TEENpup but only directly after the installation. after that you can't change the keyboard any more.
I study hindi and have to write with the devanagari fonts. but it is the same with greek, russian, chinese etc.
we did have under puppy 1.xx a menu translator. do you know if it exists any more and has the text choices for TEENpup (if you need help in languages as French, German and Spanish, I am ready to help or find help!)?
Optical choices
the announcement of TEENpup 3. or 4. is a bad choice! why? because the resolution of Xvesa did be terribly reduced between 2. and 3,!
I can use now a very high resolution. If I would get a TEENpup 3. with the resolution of puppy 3 or 4, in Xvesa, I would not use TEENpup any more (I don't use Puppy 3 or Puppy 4 for exactly the same reason: I can't change my eyes! I can only try to find an adequate Operation's System!!!!! ). For me, the last Puppy is Puppy 2.17...
oh! you find I can use Xorg? no, impossible because the Xorg keyboard layouts were never completed in Puppy! Puppy did increase form 20 MByte to about 100 MByte but the keyboard layout did never become better (keyboard layouts need, depending on the method, only some bytes per language room, not 100-20 MByte! but they are the foundament for live in main rooms of the world in all written kind of operations!)
John Biles thank you for your wonderfull performance!

Hi
I did find this message on the forum:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=27967
Perhaps the best approach for a world wide usuable TEENpup distribution?

teenpup 2008
john biles.
Hey wanted to thank you for putting teenpup 2008 together.
Wanted to have vlc media player and teen had that already...
Use it for most everything and it seems a little more straight forward than some as far controls. Interested in function not real fancy form here.
Am setting up teenpup 2008 as a media center type.
How do you auto hide the taskbar?
Have tried altering the preferences file in root/.icewm.
Set autohide to 1, set location to top but so far this is ignored.
Can drag the taskbar to the top or bottom of course once x or icewm are restarted it return to bottom.
Noticed the ability to collapse the taskbar to the right and while this is useful we prefer to autohide since wbar presents the few icons we will be using.
Any suggestions on this would be helpful.

Hello linuxblues
this allows the taskbar to autohide.
Hope this helps

I edited the following parts of the preferences file,linuxblues wrote: How do you auto hide the taskbar?
this allows the taskbar to autohide.
Code: Select all
# Auto hide task bar after delay
TaskBarAutoHide=1 # 0/1
# Delay before task bar is hidden
AutoHideDelay=300 # [0-5000]
# Delay before task bar is shown
AutoShowDelay=500 # [0-5000]

thanks!
@catdude
Okay now, had to remove the # before the command.
Noticed the comment at the beginning of the pref file about uncommenting changes and then stared at your post. Sure enough they were uncommented.
Did not recall having to do that on an earlier setup I was toying around with...at least do not think so.
But either way all is okay now!!!!!
Yeah!
learning and enjoying the pups,

Hello oui,
Due to TEENpup 2008 still being based on the Puppy 2 series and its earlier libs for example glibc 2.3.5, Skype 2 requires later libs to work. That is why TEENpup 2008 still has Skype 1.
The same problem comes up with Wine. Wine will run up to approx version 9.30-9.34 with these earlier libs. To replace them requires recompiling the kernel. That is why Barry K released puppy 3 and 4 series with later Libs that are compatible with Skype 2 and the latest wine versions.
As I've read that some user's with older hardware where having problems with these latter versions of Puppy, I decided to keep TEENpup 2008 based on the older 2 series as I to run a lot of older hardware.
I will be releasing a version of TEENpup based on these later series, but it won't be for awhile. most likely later in the year.
There will be a bug fix improved TEENpup 2008.1 in a month or so.
So apps will be removed and new ones added.
Lastly thank you CatDude for helping linuxblues with his problem

I dont know why you are not getting purply.
I have sent him to you twice.
Maybe you should check with Gordon Brown.. he may have gone to the wrong PM.
Or maybe the netcops are trying to discover if there is a hidden message in it.
Anyway, here it is again.

@CatDude & koolie
CatDude - Excellent Dude!
Koolie - I did get him, Twice!
Thanks for trying - but if you look below you'll see the difference
He must be a relative of Jesus, as he keeps resurrecting after burial
Not to worry, Purtwin likes it with me, and has moved in, so he's going to be really happy with his baby, PurtwinJunior, so will Mummy & Dippydog
There, now the whole family is on one page he he move over Addams family
Thanks, Aitch
Apologies to John Biles for the aside
Get TeenPuP2008!!!

kde virtual keyboard
@ john biles,
Can you package the kde virtual keyboard for teenpup?
Is one available for this?
Thanks for your time.
