Compiz

#49 Post by gray »

MaxHeadroom :

After installing Nvidia driver, libwnk, fusion etc ...
Have you made sure the nvidia driver is working (you see the splash ?). If so then add the line compiz-manager & to the top of the .xinitrc file in /root. Then drop out of X (ctrl-alt-bkspc) and restart X (type xwin and enter). Compiz should then fire up. You may have to add a sleep after the compiz statement (I seem to need sleep 3).

When you installed the nvidia pet did you select the "fancy option" ? If not then you need to set up xorg for fancy graphics - see Wow's compiz thread.

Audio Icon Disappeared

#53 Post by picatrix »

Hi, I've just updated NOP 4.1 to r1 overwriting pup_410.sfs and I lost the xfce panel audio icon...any hint?

Running alsaconf show me an intel8x0 soundcard, mono, while for sGmixer its an Analog Devices AD1885...my rig it's a HP Workstation x1100.

Best regards

Just upgraded to R1, and it works just fine.

Turns out I couldn't use the Delta method since I didn't have the original iso. Ah well.

Also liked that you included some of my suggestions! Thanks! :)

Brilliant CD Remaster

#55 Post by DaveS »

I just made a re-master NOP DVD as I have it pretty much configured exactly how I want, and I notice the Dougal Puppy Re-Master is WAY more competent than the original. Totally brilliant thanks.

I am not entirely sure what to ask here, so forgive me. Is it possible to get the little network icon to display in the bar in NOP? Is it called 'Bliky'?

may be you could try modified blinky fo icewm
it's inside this pet
( you can just rename it to tgz and look inside :D )
but xfce has its own network indicator also

I got it working on my geforce 2 card with NOP 4.1

install xorg_full_dri.pet
install driver (select fancy option)
install python
install libwnck
install compizfusion package
edit /etc/profile commenting out the export argb visuals line with the # character

reboot (important otherwise emerald will crash with a segmentation fault)

mp /usr/bin/compiz-xfce

Code: Select all

!#/bin/sh
compiz-manager &
xfce4-session
chmod +x /usr/bin/compiz-xfce4

startx compiz-xfce4

that will give you a desktop equivalent to wNOP (too bad it isn't live :-) )

Thanks. I was getting lost trying to work out which file to download!

However whilst it provided high speed access to the iso link, that server is SLOW!!!!!!!!

Abiword details

#60 Post by Henry »

Edited-condensed:
Abiword is nearly everywhere in Gnome related distros, so this is about it, not Nop. These are problems with it that do not bother everyone, but should a serious writer.

Abiword (and OO) claim to "import" WordPerfect but drop formatting and graphics.

Help menu: 6 out of 7 items give no response. Yes, I know help, such as it is, is available on the web. (This may be a compilation choice.)

Tools menu: Babelfish, Free Translation, Gdict, Edit image in Gimp, Google search, URL dictionary, Wiki encyclopedia. All give no response. If I try "Install New Plugins," Abiword closes.

All grammar checkers are pretty much worthless, especially Abiword's.

It seems one should be able to close a document without quitting the program.

It seems one should be able to set a default file save format like .odt instead of it trying to make you to use .abw.

It still doesn't have "smart" quotes!

These are some I noticed; there are more at:

The iso file must to be downloaded by Proxy server.
Anybody could provide other link to get it? Please.

Many thanks!

[SOLVED]

#62 Post by DaveS »

Gray, a small problem. I much prefer Seamonkey, which downloads and installs as it should via the package manager. HOWEVER, when I try to upgrade to the latest version, the installer that is supplied with Seamomkey will not run. It does in 4.1.1, so I guess something has been removed from NOP that this installer needs. I think it is a GTK installer. Any idea what I need to install to fix this please?


EDIT......HERE IS THE FIX

I 'stole' the file libstdc++.so.5.0.6 from /usr/lib in 4.1.1, and installed it in usr/lib on NOP (simple drag and drop). Then create a symlink to it in the same directory. Then re-name the symlink libstdc++.so.5

After this, the seamonkey installer runs just fine, but I had to re-boot first for some strange reason. For more essential info on upgrading Seamonkey, read here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=34667

Please disregard. I had not realized goffice-Gimp included Abiword, Gnumeric.

Tray volume applet missing

#64 Post by Henry »

I am using No 4.1.1, have upgraded my old but very clean personal configuration. Everything seems to work pefectly except that the absvolume slider tray applet does not appear. Note: If I run Nop 4.1.1 with pfix=ram the applet runs fine.

Here are some observations:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Nop 4.1.1 puppy pfix=ram, working tray applet:

/usr/bin/absvolume mousepad: ELF, exec: opens another working tray volume applet

in /root/.xinitrc mousepad. search for absvolume:
#v3.91 volume tray applet, thanks to hairywill... v3.96 MENU_BG variable...
if [ -f /usr/bin/absvolume ];then
# if [ "$MENU_BG" = "" ];then
absvolume &
# else
# absvolume -bg $MENU_BG &
# fi
fi

exec: /root/.xinitrc opens another working tray volume applet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In upgraded Nop 4.1.1 personal configuration, no tray applet:

/usr/bin/absvolume mousepad, :ELF exec: does nothing

in /root/.xinitrc mousepad, search for absvolume:
#v3.91 volume tray applet, . . . (same as above)

exec: /root/.xinitrc does nothing

(Obviously I can do without this, but it would be nice if someone could suggest how to fix it. ;-)

phantom absvolume

#65 Post by gray »

Henry:

So if you type absvolume in the terminal and press enter nothing happens ?

If you go to the /initrd/pup_ro2/usr/bin directory with thunar, right click and open trminal there then type absvolume and enter does anything happen then ?

If the last is OK then copy that to the /usr/bin directory
