TEENpup based on Puppy 4.1.1 testing a long road ahead!

[john biles]

Hello Everyone,
I've been experimenting with Puppy 4.1.1 and building TEENpup from scratch with KDE 3.5.7 apps.
All my normal tricks so to speak that I have learned with Puppy 2.14 don't work as expected with Puppy 4.1.1 and it will take months to get a TEENpup based on Puppy 4.1.1 up to a good enough standard to be released.
I will be released TEENpup 2008 Evo based on Puppy 2.14 soon.

Here's a first for TEENpup Amarok finally works in the test build!

John,

Have you looked at 2.14R, rather than go back to 2.14?

It had some good tweaks & improvements, as I recall

I second the motion.

Pup 214R is the last pup to work properly in myToshiba Portege 4010 Laptop.

Regards Tony.

Hi John I have the teen pup, I'm tring to get wine to work. I get glib2.1 errors. Got any ideas?

Hello johnh10000,
Newer versions of Wine don't work with TEENpup because Puppy 2.14 ( TEENpup's base ) was created with glibc 2.3.5 without tls support.

Hello Aitch and Tony,
TEENpup has been built on top off Puppy 2.14 since version 2.0.0 I don't want to have to start from scratch like I'm doing with Puppy 4.1.1 which is expected to take months before it is released.

Have you considered using KDE 3.5.10 appls? Lighthouse and Muppy both use these in their latest versions.

@john biles ... there is an extensive list of games for Linux on the gp2x forum (on of the best i have found anyway) all on the list are opensource and the list is actively being added to http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?showtopic=43625

I would be nice to have automatic installation of nvidia drivers also from what i have read of the nvidia license you are allowed to distribute them as long as you don't modify the binaries

http://www.nvidia.com/object/nv_swlicense.html

read section 2.1.2 it expressly allows copying of the driver for supported *nix systems as long as the nvidia provided binaries are not modified

also note that the kernel interface is not part of the binaries and can also be redistributed freely

Hello cb88,
My PC's I use don't have special graphic cards so I have no need for nvidia drivers, sorry!
While I originally created TEENpup for teenagers, I now want to aim it at users of old PC's like mine without advanced graphics. I have thought about renaming TEENpup to something else to reflex this change in direction.

Hello Jim1911,
I may still use kde 3.5.10 at the moment I'm just experimenting. To tell you the truth, The way I go about creating TEENpup, the version of KDE 3.5.4 used in TEENpup 2008 behaves better bug wise than the version of KDE 3.5.7 I have.

Can you make a version that has Opera WITH either Flash 9 or 10 operational? I love Opera, but it's virtually impossible to upgrade Flash, unless you're using windoze.

Thanks...I'm giving your older version of TEENpup a try, as it sounds as if it's got all the multimedia apps I'm craving!
