(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I tried to install Google-Chrome browser Debian/Ubuntu package from Google. Installed, no missings deps, but no menu entry, and when I tried to run it from the terminal it did not run, I got a message about wrong version number.

Uninstalled it. Next.....

There's working chrome for dpup on dpup.org

Actually....... I've got this itch to try things directly from the Debian (and other .deb) repos, just to see what works without needing Puppification. I've just tried Chrome in Jemima's pupeee, and don't like it. So if Firefox starts being temperamental again, I'll go for Seamonkey.

Incidentally, it seems Debian have dropped Ice-Ape (=Seamonkey) from the Lenny repo.

I installed the Seamonkey 2 beta2 pet from the 5d repo at the Petstore. Worked ok, but current Adblock plus is incompatible- even though it should be ok for Seamonkey 2. But not for 2b2.
I uninstalled that, and installed Seamonkey 2.0 final from the Puppy 4 repo at Petstore. That's ok.

Retrovol 0.4 volume control works.

Grabed latest skype beta (2.1.0.81) from official site and installed qt deps from lenny, works ok so far.

I've striped and repackaged amarok sfs for dpup, now it's 33 MB
Removed docs, mans, locales and some other kde shared stuff (also tried to remove crystal svg iconset which is 5+ MB but amarok looks terrible without it

Had to add xine libs which are no longer in dpup

Tested on clean dpup boot with pfix=ram
Verified to play mp3/wav/ogg/flac/audio cds/shoutcast streams, visualizations, equalizer and all other features should work ok the only bug I noticed is that tray icon is not properly displayed in tray but minimized in own window, you can disable that in amarok configuration, so it doesn't show tray icon, will try to fix that.

Here is the sfs: amarok-1.4.10-lite-dpup_484.sfs 33 MB
MD5: amarok-1.4.10-lite-dpup_484.sfs-md5.txt

Enjoy!

Great, the sfs I've been using wouldn't work with dpup, however, it can't be downloaded because permissions are not set.
Thanks,
Jim

OK, try now, should be fixed!

Super, it's now running on dpup-484.
Thank you,
Jim

You're welcome!

Hi dejan555,

Line 108 of /usr/share/applications/kde/amarok.desktop needs to be changed to Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/amarok.png in order for the icon to show up properly in the menu.

Thank you again for this sfs, it's a fine addition to dpup's available applications.
Jim

Yeah, saw that, if I make more changes worth repackaging I will fix it, for now I can make pet with new desktop file or just copy/paste this command in terminal who wants to fix

I got mythtv frontend installed and running downloaded the debs installed them, installed listed dependency's(most via PPM, some from debian direct).

It works Great.

Hi there, I compiled VLC 1.0.5 for dpup (light package, without interfaces) and tested on clean dpup 484 beta 4 boot.
I made a simple gtk frontend (VERY BASIC!) so you know you can have much more options in command line! (Maybe some of our bash/GTK developers might make some decent frontend eh? Now there's challenge for them )
I also added ROX right clicks on video files to play with VLC

Tested for sure to play these formats:
DVD/ Audio CD/ MPG/ MP4/ MP3/ OGG/ FLAC/ AVI/ FLV/ ISOS/ WMV/ WAV/ AU/ RM

Here you go: vlc-1.0.5-lite-i486-dpup.pet 2.8 MB

OH, right, if you use vlc thru frontend from menu for audio files be sure to click the "Stop" button to be sure that vlc process doesn't hang even if song is finished!

Enjoy!

**EDIT** Reuploaded package with subtitle font fix and sc0ttman's gtk frontend 1.1
Here's the VLC GTK thread:

New weechat release 0.3.2 compiled for dpup, dev and python pets are optional:

weechat-0.3.2-i486-dpup.pet
weechat_DEV-0.3.2-i486-dpup.pet
weechat_PYTHON-0.3.2-i486-dpup.pet

Anyone watching this thread anymore?
Anyway I compiled icewm 1.3.6 on dpup, seems good so far and renders almost all themes perfectly, I've tested quite number of them, the only problems were 18k-metal and 4dwm from icepak.pet (don't use, will crash X!).
ttuuxxx's themes display nice and also tested some new windowish themes from box-look.

Install pet then exit X, type xwin icewm-session to run it.
Here's the pet: icewm-1.3.6-i486-dpup.pet 618 KB

Does it work with the (p)kde(2) themes from icepak.pet?
kde, kde2, pkde, pkde2 all crash IceWM for me.

Anyone watching this thread anymore?

Of course.
Dpup showed a great deal of promise
and is still there as a base for further development using Woof
for the Debian enthusiast.
I found it reliable with many innovations, even at the beta stage.
