Thank You Bill for this first useful report on a DVD install (that leaves plenty of room for your files if You left it "unlocked" multi-sessions).
There will be some manuals, howtos, and tutorials uploaded on the website: http://pupitup.110mb.com/
All PUPPY technical questions should be posted here, as to benefit the whole PUPPY community, but all Music software use questions sould be posted on the pupitup forum: http://pupitup.phpbb3now.com/ to keep things orderly arranged.
Enjoy Pupitup, puppies love to play and take long strolls on country roads.

I don't think it will require any mods to run on your laptop.
Pupitup has been tuned for netbooks, but nothing was retrieved of original Puppy 4.1.2 so its ability to run on most every PC remains intact.

About 100mb host they are having all sorts of problems (mostly on box 16) I think they are the object of attacks from other (pay ?) hosting services, it's an uggly world out there.

Use those direct links to dwnld:

Well to express my admiration for your pup I cannot better than second the above quote ... being an analphabetical in music but always longing to be able to play an instrument ...

Amazing how much stuff you managed to cram into a few Mb's ..

As for questions to the apps I probably should register on your forum.

But for this very first time I pose them here


- When I start the LMMS it says "starting the GIU ... " and only by hitting here and there randomly - something appears.

Is there a better way to enter the program ?

Honestly I do not understand much of it but I see a pianoroll appear but it does not respond to my "hit here and there".

Does it have a virtual pianokeyboard ?

(I have no midi).

I must say that the sound it produces is the best I ever heard on this laptop, as if a whole orchestra was inside (after I managed to load a demo.)

- Can it import musicsheets ? and if so, how ?

(same in amuc, I do not manage leftclick and then it freezes).


- Amuc says it has a wave2sheet converter builtin. How can I reach that converter ?

- What is Sven ?

When I try to load it nothing appears ?

- I cannot find the Jack entry in the menu.

(Though I thought I once saw it.)

How and what for do I use Jack ?

Again many thanks for your masterpiece which causes a lot of worry. Do you ever take a break ?

Your forum looks pretty well organised I hope it will soon welcome many musicians or those who want to become a musician.

(I do not understand why so many people haveproblems downing while I, who usually have a nose for trouble, could download without probs.)

Thanks for the report and the list of well founded questions.

Sven was advised to me by iscraigh, it's a volume control plugin for GXine, etc... it autostarts at boot & runs in the background:
iscraigh wrote:(PM) I would suggest installing Sven for your mutimedia keys
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 03&t=36650
I used the older one here
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=9740
Just don't worry about it.
When first started, LMMS pops up a large splash screen that hides a dialog box behind it, just click & drag that box so you can answer preferences by clicking the button, and it will start OK from then on...
Jack doesn't have a menu entry (yet), & must be started from the icon (bottom rigth), it is used to synchronize & interconnect real time multiple audio softs like qsynth, Amuc, etc... to work together seamlessly.
Most other questions have answer in the soft manuals:
http://pupitup.phpbb3now.com/viewforum.php?f=30
More info and bug reports possible on the soft developers websites.
Latest UPDATE: http://pupitup.110mb.com/ is back UP and running...

Eztuxer, Your puppy is really great. It runs well on 2GB ram notebook.
(on P4 256MB couldn't get it run due to memory proble, I guess)
I think the names comes from "Pump it up" Am I right?

I found your puppy full of great apps.

I thought Pupitup is only equipped with music related but found there are many apps for 2D, 3D graphics!!

It reminds me "Musix" distro but much smaller and faster.

Thank you for making such great derivative.

I wish you include wine or some sort of emulator for the next version so it can be expandable.

Thank you for this report puppyiso.
Glad you like it. :)
Yes the next versions will have both more and less software.
There will be two "breeds" one based on this one with all the soft of this version plus new softwares according to suggestion from pupitup users, and another smaller (only music) with only the music lab, (no games, graphic office soft etc...) to reduce the boot time to the max and make it ultra minimal and super fast, it will be nicknamed pupitup "blitz".
But do not expect it before a few months.
You can "try" to add wine with the puppy package manager.
Do a search on this board with "wine" to read how to add it and see if there is a .pet or . pup pkg to dwnld & install.
Be careful when adding software as sometimes due to libraries incompatibility, some new pkg will work but could render some already installed soft not functional anymore.
Install pkg 1 at a time and test "all softs" before adding even more so if something goes wrong, you'll just have to uninstall the last pkg to return to "normal", instead of doing a full re install of pupitup.
for tech questions, this forum is the place, for music soft questions: http://pupitup.phpbb3now.com/
The name means "pup-it-up" see: http://pupitup.110mb.com/faq.html
Please spread the pupitup craze all around. ;)
Pupitup should run with 64 MB ram, see: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=37580

eztuxer,

I haven't tried out your puplet yet, but I'm working on that as we speak. I just wanted to give a big hearty "thank you". Right now, I have no money to get anything beyond food to eat (no, I don't eat that much, money is just real short for now). But you give your time to making music software available to even people like me. So thank you, thank you, thank you!

I don't have much money myself, so time and effort is all I can freely give, but I believe in sharing, and I' m glad that pupitup is reaching it's main goal:
The aim of this forum, and of Pupitup in general is to provide musicians, and music interested computer users with a common platform of tools, to enable hassle free exchange of music files, material, and ideas using a "standard" set of operating system, software, and web features like a dedicated website and forum.
Quoted from:
http://pupitup.phpbb3now.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1

I really want to share your Thanks with PUPPY and LINUX in general, because if I can "offer" pupitup for FREE it is because the people who have made Linux & Puppy, offered their time and efforts to make it available FREE to me and the rest of the world.

Let me thank You too "amenyahu" for taking the time to say "Thank You".

I wish You lots of fun with Music, Linux, Puppy, & Pupitup, and brighter sunnier days with a little more money margin.

Thanks for the info & congrats, ttuuxxx.

There are so many audio soft in Linux, that I'd love to add to the next version (without making it too large, cause I want to keep fast boot, etc...), but it will take some time to brew (and hopefully some help, as I'm no hacker in coding).
Meanwhile, some selected pre tested .pet & .pup pkg list will be posted on the website & Music Lab forum, so users can install them without having to wait for the next version of pupitup.
It takes lots of trials and errors, to add succesfully audio soft as they use different and sometimes incompatible (excluding) libraries, which makes Audacity deaf and dumb if I install Amule for example.
So I use different pups for different things, until it evolves toward good compatibility.
Have you given pupitup a try yet ?
When you do, you can try to add soft on it, and feed me back on the result;
I would like to make Ardour & Hydrogen run on it, as far as my wish list is concerned.

In Windows, they can work well in Audacity; they just appear in the "Effects" tab. But I don't know if they can work in Audacity in Linux. I tried putting a few in the Audacity plugins folder, and Audacity never saw them. Rezound has a tab that says LADSPA and appears to be able to use the plugins, but I have no idea how to access them.
Pasted from:
http://pupitup.phpbb3now.com/viewtopic. ... 6&p=52#p52

Does any one know how to use LADSPA on Audacity ?

Just wondering is that the package I posted 2 days ago on here? If so, maybe say thanks, lol, because it was a real pain to package up.

EZ - TERRIFIC! Very excited to see this come out, i've been wanting a good music Linux and your timing happened to be perfect--i just received a sturdy old HP laptop (hand-me-down from oldest daughter to second daughter and finally to me!) I've been wanting to finally switch to Linux for scoring, plus thinking about experimenting with live synthesis by running my cheap keyboard thru a laptop with its sound fonts...it looks like it's here and it's PUPPY!

Now, i've just done a full install and haven't yet given it a full workout, but the support looks top-notch. This is so good; i hope this really takes off. Let me know if bandwidth problems continue, i may be able to mirror.

I am looking forward to this. Thank you, thank you!!
