updated all isos and addons.sfs with the latest patches.
Also Wine was upgraded to 0.9.61.
So do not install the Upgrade-Dotpup 0083-to-0083b , if you download those again.


Concerning the menu:
I will have a look on that, when I work on the menu-mechanism again.
If I find a solution soon, there will be another upgrade dotpup.

Just to clarify that, Mark, if I download the same files again, as per your link on p.1, these will now be the patched versions? I ask because they haven't been renamed or annotated.

yes, those are the same.
I just was too lazy to rewrite the links in the webpages for different names.

The md5sum of the addons-DE_083.sfs I just downloaded is

8e5f1e13bce0d5bb70557bf32a47b866 addons-DE_083.sfs

and does not match the md5sum stated in the
addons-DE_083.sfs-md5sum.txt

Could someone please check this as my download was reported to be correct.

Thank you.

8e5f1e13bce0d5bb70557bf32a47b866 is correct, the md5.txt was the old one, sorry.
Corrected it now.

I started a new extension.

ftp://ks301128.kimsufi.com/Muppy0083/goodies

It will contain new stuff, so that I must not rebuild all the isos, when only new small programs are added.

It currently contains:
Exaile Mediamanager/player
Gstreamer-python and libs for that
Details:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=28866

Development files and all languages are included.

Requires:
Muppy-Standard or Muppy-Mini+addons-LANGUAGE_083.sfs
VERSION 008.3d already includes these programs, no more need to install the goodies!

This file will be extended with new stuff in unregular intervals.

Remastering Live-CD

#52 Post by tlchost »

Could someone be kind enough to attempt remastering a LiveCD of 008.3 with a directory and entries that have been created in /root

I have tried every way possible to add things to /tmp/root and they do not show up in the ISO. I have also attempted to copy the /etc/profile into /tmp/etc/profile, and that too never shows up.

I don't have Puppy installed on a hard drive...I run a Live-CD, so I'm looking to be able to remaster the Live-CD.

Could the script that is called when there is no room on the Live-CD and requests a blank DVD be used to create a new Live-DVD conataining the changes?

Thanks

@MU: I downloaded the latest version of Mini version and now am typing from it. The network worked. But I had to do few runs of the Network Wizard. I am glad it worked.

I see that Gxine is working now. But I am having an issue with Gxine, where it plays a file, I make it fullscreen, then when I hit "Escape" to exit fullscreen, it becomes a small screen without any controls (almost like hanging in Windows) and then I will have to do a killall gxine from console and restart it.

I had the same problems with 008.2 as well. But did not bother me much because atleast it plays the first time in Fullscreen.

I tested the other things I mostly use like Word, Flash enabled websites, Movie - No problems at all . :) Thank you !

Update: I updated the goodies_083.sfs, as exaile did not work.

Prit1: I have no idea, how to solve the issue with gxine.
I use mplayer usually.
The fullscreen code of gxine seems to be somewhat buggy, as all the reports for Puppy and jwm indicate.
I fear, I can't do something here.

@MU: The video streams I use from the internet have never worked well with MPlayer. This is why I dont prefer using this.

Did you use any other components from Lxde in MiniMuppy?

I love the context menu's (right click menu) look/theme.

Currently only Pcmanfm.
I also plan to add lxpanel as an alternative to my GtkBasic-Panel.
Some people will prefer that menu.
For other components, I must see.
I love the context menu's (right click menu) look/theme.
Can you explain that?
Where do you click?

Do you have a full lxde installation?

@MU: I am sorry for the confusion. I was talking about the menu that shows up in MiniMuppy right now when you click inside the filemanager. :). No I dont have lxde. I do want to experiment when I get sometime.

Unfortunately, GXine continues to give trouble with streams. Sometimes difficult to start, sometimes randomly cutting out and BBCWorldService still gives double reception. Xine is the one in my experience, GXine is the cuckoo in the nest.

Sorry, aber diese Deutsch-Tümeleien passen wirklich nicht in diese Support-Threads.
Poste doch bitte im Off-Topic, oder im deutschsprachigen Forum.

Monolingual English speakers may rest assured the preceding exchange was not simple madness. In case you were worried about missing vital information, I have added some references below.
Goethe
Eckermann
Conversations with Goethe
Cuckoo
Alchemy
Tree of Life
Number of the Beast
To Mega Therion
Aleister Crowley
Sun Tsu
I Ching

While it is hard to argue with the I Ching about stones, thorns, ignorance (innocence) and misfortune, or with master Sun concerning remuneration of spies, readers should be aware other sources are less reliable. Though admitedly unqualified to comment on the EU, or habits of national leaders, I doubt ancient Greeks had this in mind.

THe Linux Ghods are punishing me. Just when I was hot on the trail of remastering a new LiveCD, I got this urge to download the latest standard iso file.

I burned a new Live-CD and when booting I see:

Setup Unionfs Layered Filesystem
Perform a 'switch_root' to the new Unionfs Filesystem

And then I can wait, have a cup of coffee, go to the store, feed the cat and things go no further.

After downloading the iso several times, trying new media it's getting frustrating.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Minisys-Linux Muppy 008.3b (may,08,2008)

#64 Post by Scoticus »

I attempted to download the mini version only to find that I was unable to save this as a mulltisession DVD. Additionally it also required Nvidia drivers to resolve the screen splitting. The top of the page is shown below the start menu button and you have to mess about with the cursor to get anywhere. I was able to download the driver but the inability to save has left me waiting impatiently on a solution.

Looks good but too frustrating to keep messing about with settings and then having to go around again and again resetting things.

Looking forward to a resolution to this difficulty

updated goodies_083.sfs, it was missing liboil required for exaile.

NVidia:
The propriatary Nvidia-drivers are in addons-LANGUAGE_083.sfs.
They are very huge.
So you must get that loaded.
Try xvesa, if xorg fails.
Then shutdown, to create the savefile and get the bootmanager dialog.
There choose the addons and reboot.
Then Exit X, run xorgwizard again, and "xwin".
Now you should be offered to install the NVidia-drivers.

If you cannot get so far, try Standard, that already includes them at first startup directly from CD.

tlchost
Apart from the fixes, there is only one major change:
zmsy_083.sfs is no longer included in the standard iso, as all drivers are already in msy_083.sfs.
I wonder, if that might cause your problem.
I will upload a Test-Iso, where it is included again.
It will take 3 hours or so, I will give you the link then.
