Karmic Puppy 432 Bugs

[playdayz]

I went back to Ubuntu Packages and downloaded these four files for glx and dri. I installed all 4, though I am not sure about the 3rd one, and hardinfo -> Display shows I am getting gl and, it says, dri. glxinfo shows that also, and glxgears shows a fast frame rate. Even without the mesa-utilities the log at /var/log/Xorg.0.log showed that the glx and dri files had installed properly. (Mesa-utilites has glxinfo and glxgears.)

libgl1-mesa-dri_7.6.0-1ubuntu4_i386.deb
libgl1-mesa-glx_7.6.0-1ubuntu4_i386.deb
libglu1-mesa_7.6.0-1ubuntu4_i386.deb
mesa-utils_7.6.0-1ubuntu4_i386.deb

FLASHPLAYER - Flashplayer 10.32 was crashing everything, in every browser. I certainly might have done something to cause that, but I do not know what. i reverted to 9.246 which seems to run OK. Does anyone else have the problem? I made a fresh install and the same thing happened--Seamonkey 1.1.18 with flash 10.32 crashed at the adobe test flash player site.

ALSAWIZARD - Alsawizard does not seem to run correctly. I have realtek audio on the motherboard and an audigy pci card and I have previously used alsawizard to select the audigy card, but when I enter #alsawizard in a terminal, I get some kind of message in a rectangular yellow-orange box which goes away too fast to read and then back to the prompt. The onboard audio is working, it's just not the one I want.

1. When trying to set up sound, this is the message:

# alsaconf
/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 106: 22170 Terminated yaf-splash -font "8x16" -outline 0 -margin 4 -bg orange -text "Running the 'depmod-FULL' utility, please wait...

WARNING:
The 'depmod-FULL' utility has to be run for ALSA Config to work.
Puppy normally runs the Busybox 'depmod' which uses less resources.
The problem is that 'depmod-FULL' hangs on some systems with very
low RAM (64MB or less) -- such a situation is relieved after you
have created a 'pupave' and a swap file/partition."
/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 514: mktemp: command not found
Can't create temp file, exiting...
#
Any ideas on changes needed for the alsaconf file?

EDIT: Corrected above sound problem by replacing /usr/sbin/alsaconf with the alsaconf file from upup476 and copying the /bin/mktemp file from upup476 to the /bin/mktemp in upup432.

2. CUPS didn't work, however, using ppm to install cups-1.3.3 from puppy-4 solved that problem. I didn't try cups_1.4.1 from puppy-5.

3. Puppy universal install did not work for a full hd installation. However, using Pup431's installer I was able to install upup432 as a full hd installation. To make it work, I used the upup 432 frugal installation directory (temporarily renaming upup-432.sfs to pup-431.sfs) which allowed the installation to proceed from this directory.

This is a superb pup. These woof built derivatives are great.
Thanks,
Jim

I just finished a Woof 432 karmic build. Haven't tried the resulting .iso and devx yet.

Here are the errors I saw during the build:

0setup was missing rox-filer-2.9.0-p4.pet
but I was able to edit-in the rox-filer-2.6-something version.


2createpackages was missing

I have installed the Open office through PPM. However, no menu entry. I have tried to run openoffice by locating launch file and made a desktop icon. ( I don't this is proper) Anyhow working!. However, in the case of Firefox, I am not able to start Firefox. When checked the dependency , it says many missing file reported. I don't know how to install this file. If Karmic installed dependency files automatically, it will be very useful to newbies. I also managed to install Google Chrome Browser latest beta Chroome build (deb file separately downloaded from google) in Karmic by converting with separate debian to pet package installer. However, no menu entry and proxy interwork option is not working. However, I feel, Chroom browser is faster in Puppy.

rameshiyer,

To generate a menu item you need to add a .desktop file for each of your OO applications to the /usr/share/applications file similiar to the code below:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=OpenOffice Writer word processor
Icon=swriter.xpm
Comment=OpenOffice Writer word processor
Exec=swriter
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=WordProcessor
GenericName=OpenOffice Writer word processor

You will probably need to include the full path for the Icon and the Exec. Then run "fixmenus" from a console to generate the menu entry. Also you may drag, using rox, any .desktop file from that directory to have a launcher on the desktop if you like.

The Network wizard reports that it doesn't find any network interfaces. As it normally finds both eth0 and wlan0 without failing this is new and a complete mystery.

Any ideas anyone?
