(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

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

Cheers

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

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

All are working well on Turbopup Alpha3

Not sure if full screen mode is of any use to you, have a look at
http://tuxpaint.org/docs/html/OPTIONS.html

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.

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.

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
ttuuxxx

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.

Ok the links are updated on page one.
enjoy

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.

I think that the puppy package manager is conected to the Ubuntu repo but if not then just go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/tuxtype and download all the sdl and tux type packages only. looks like 7 packages total

ttuuxxx,
Is this the right page? http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/lucid/tuxtype

I'm unsure of what to download. There are so many files.
If this is the right page, then which specific files do I download?

I'm assuming that MD5 checksum is used to check the files once they are downloaded?
Or, is MD5 checksum only for Ubuntu files?
Is there a different checksum procedure for Puppy files?

Thanks in advance for your timely response.

we are lazy when it comes to md5sum's usually we use that just for iso's since they are over 100MB+

Well I downloaded 17 ubuntu packages and made it into one pet for you, It even works on spup. So if it doesn't work on your machine it must be something else wrong with you files, anyways give it a try.

Hi ttuuxxx
thanks for the tux suite.
Tried in in XOpup and works only after you I'm assuming this is the issue with Puppy 5.x too

Also supertux.desktop has "Categories=BuildingBlock" instead of Game so it does not show on the menu.


Latter: Where is the supertux source that you used? Looks like that is not properly recognizing the XO-1 keyboard because of the olpc-kbdshim daemon. So I want to take a look in case I can figure something out (or you could use your XO... )

Thank you, ttuuxxx!
