Yes until the end of the month, just a couple of days, Well Eric is doing the best he can, 10TB a month is a lot of money. He's one heck of a guy.

Hi ttuuxxx,
thank for tuxpaint!

I just would desire a larger window: I just get the tuxpaint window not larger than about more than 1/4 of the screen area...!? Clicking on the 'enlarge' key in the above right corner of the window does not changes anything (nor enlarge nor minimize).

Is it possible to select+cut+paste or copy a selected area?

I also noticed that the drawing are default saved in the /.tuxpaint/saved folder isn't ? THer is no 'save as' dialog box.

Could you help?
many thanks for your answer
Charlie

Did you try left clicking and holding the bottom right corner with the mouse and dragging it larger, ?
If not remind me in a week and I'll try to work it out, Its just that right now I'm working on 4.2 release and I can't install any extras like sdl, for compiling purposes.

Yes, I did.
I cannot catch or hook that corner nor drag it....nor the others...
So I can wait until you could fix that..;...keep cool with this...
Many thanks in advance...thanks for tuxpaint.

(I am testing it for modifying drawings I receive by fax or by e-mail (with efax-gtk, dragging its file in /.tuxpaint/saved and renaming its extension to .png so they are present when 'open' a file with tuxpaint) - A4 pages looks rather little and therefore difficult to draw on).

Cheers
Charlie

Hi ttuuxxx,
I am looking for a ' ps2png ' converter program that could run on Puppy.
Have you already solve that?
Many thanks in advance for your answer

I have written a post here about it

Thanks from a newbie

#22 Post by Axolotl »

Thanks for the great games. This was the first thing I installed on my daughter's 'new' (286) computer
I got TuxPaint installed but I needed quite a few more libraries. At first, it appeared on the menu but nothing happened when I clicked and a friend advised me to try running from the console to get error messages. I also found this post
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=262428
helpful on installing the libraries.

@charlie6 - these just need a little bash script to make ps2png (in /usr/bin)
pstopnm
pnmtopng
Check out my [url=https://github.com/technosaurus]github repositories[/url]. I may eventually get around to updating my [url=http://bashismal.blogspot.com]blogspot[/url].

ttuuxxx thanks for the pets(Tuxpaint/math/type and the extra Tuxpaint stamps)

Not sure if full screen mode is of any use to you, have a look at

Tux Type issues

#25 Post by brucehohl »

I added the above packages to Puppy 431 mainly for Tux Type and had the following issues:

(1) After a few minutes of use the program crashes with:
[1]+ Segmentation fault /usr/bin/tuxtype
The behavior has been duplicated on three PCs and can be most quickly duplicated by running "Fish Cascade" in "Hard" mode. The program will also crash when running "Lessons".

(2) The "Lessons" screen font size is too large for "Time, Chars, CPM, etc." and the values reported under these labels causing the labels and values to overlap.

Thanks to anyone who can offer suggestions for fixing these problems.

#26 Post by brucehohl »

Issue (1) above has been fixed in version 1.8.0. Reference:
https://alioth.debian.org/forum/forum.p ... p_id=31080

Perhaps issue (2) is related to available fonts.

Working well on Puppy 431. I tried an older tuxpaint before finding this post and it didn't work (missing libs). Many thanks for providing this - my children recently discovered tuxmath and enjoy this software a lot.

Tux Types Links Gone?

#28 Post by Sky Aisling »

@ttuuxxx

Hello Ttuuxxx,

I love Tux Types. I am setting up a Puppy system for a senior friend who needs to learn how to type before he can use a computer. He tried out and throughly enjoyed the Tux Type program.

But, alas! the Tux Type .pet links you reference are gone.
Page Not Found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.


Are there new link locations?

Thank you, your timely response to my inquiry is greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for aiding with this super educational application.

It will take about 24hrs, the reason why is that puppylinux.ca went under, And I had GB of pets on it, I never passed them over to the latest provider, but Now I am.
I'll give a new link in 24hrs

Thank you ttuuxxx.

I'm new to downloading .pets.

Will the site addresses be the same as shown in your first dialogue box?
For example:
http://puppylinux.ca/tpp/ttuuxxx/progra ... 3-i386.pet

Or will you have to post us a new address list?

Love Tuxtypes...

it will and has to be a new address since puppylinux.ca domain name/server went unter but it will still have the /ttuuxxx/programs/SDL-Programs prefix.

Hello Ttuuxxx,

What more do I need to do to make Tuxtype activate?

I've downloaded and installed the 4 SDL libs.
I've downloaded and installed tuxtype game only.
The game icon shows in the menu under *fun*.
When I attempt to execute the program the screen flickers for a moment but nothing more happens.

Is there more to the setup to make the game activate?

Here is the configuration of the hosting machine:
Toshiba Satellite 1415-S115 - RAM=512MB - Processor=Intel Celeron 2.0 GHz
More specs found at: http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/Toshiba ... 01078.html
Running Lupu 520 as a full install with no other OS resident.

I just tried it on Spup and works perfectly, just the 4 sdl pets plus the tuxtype pet is all I used. I would uninstall sdl pets and use the ubuntu repo which should have tuxtype in the puppy package manager, or try downloading them again. sdl doesn't change all that much

I'm inexperienced in doing sdl pets. What program do I use to *uninstall*? never mind! I found how to do it in Package Manager.
What is the Ubuntu repo? Where do I find it?
Yes, I'll try downloading again, although all seem ok when I did download.
