Puppy Squeeze 009 Development

[Karl Godt]

Code: Select all

cd /usr/lib
for i in `ls seamonkey-2.0.8/*.so`; do ln -s $i .; done

works at 004 .... perhaps I typed ...; do ln -s $i. ; done

Dpup007. Printing works. At least testpage.

Hmm... I waited for firstrun.sh to start, but when it didnt I launched it from /root/Startup. Maybe I was just too hasty. Flsynclient adjusts my touchpad fine. Finnish keyboard setting I set the old way: öööäää, looks good
Notecase seems to be dropped from personal. I have used that one.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... ages-woof/ and from there notecase: 2 packages. Works fine. About 660 K together.
gHasher does not work as nice as gtkHash. You cant drag and drop iso and iso.delta into it or am I just too ignorant ?
How about adding Uget. http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... 1-pup4.pet Massive 62 K.
Transmission is fine addition in dpup as default bittorrent client. It was time to get rid of pctorrent which nobody was able to use.

The first-run wizard appears once you close the welcome page, it's normal and happens in all puppies for some reason

And the mail client in 004 - the problems with it are gone in 005+.

EDIT: 007 is the first dpup I run on my Eee and it's totally great, just having the usual sound issues I get with my newish netbook ... the new kernel I intend to compile will hopefully solve these problems

Here's mtpaint snapshot script replacement, it's from dpup 484 but I changed it to use mtpaint only. 484 also used scrot which had option to capture one window only.

Hopefully, like James Bond, this OO7 has a license to kill so all the enemies will be gone.
I know at least the mxvrt is gone. And uxvrt is alive.

Pwireless2 doesn't show the available access point for me.
SNS do show them, but gives a message unable to get an ip from the dhcp client (or something the like)

The network wizard is the only one with which I can configure the internet connection.

My application environment seems to work, but I didn't do in depth testing.

[Iguleder]

Pwireless2 is dead on my Eee ... I guess Pwireless2 is dead on dpup.

We have 2 options:
1) Kick it out, stay with SNS which works pretty well.
2) Fix it.

My vote goes to 1, SNS auto-starts and works, so why bother?

In puppies like lucid ans quirky when playing youtube video clips, my cpu was running very hot (sometimes 90°C) and sometimes the clip was jerky.

Not with 007 My cpu stays cool (64°C) and clips play smooth.

Good news.

New default background suggestion.... one that include NZ.

You didn't think you could exclude NZ from a map of the world did you?

We DO exist down-under....

[Billtoo]

I burned the 007 dvd and am running live with a save file.
Everything seems to be working well, sound,video card, internet.
I made quit a few pets in quirky 1.3 and tried them in 007, most work.
I compiled qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.0 to use with vlc and it's a huge pet, 199mb, but it has a lot of demos and examples in it that could be left out I guess (don't know how to do that).

[Jim1911]

Great job, most everything works, including printing.

On a frugal installation of 007, Installed the following pets and sfs, all of which are working great.

Pets:
nvidia_lucid_a-256.36-k2.6.33.2.p5
EudoraOSE-1.Orc1-Lucid
Firefox-4.0b3-Lucid (upgraded to 4.0b6)
sunbird-1.0b1
pwidgets-2.2.7
hplip-3.9.12-scan (required for xsane to work)
gnome-games-Lite_2.26.1-i486-dpup
PupShutdown-1.3
VLC-1.0.6-Lucid (required since default player will not play wmv files)

SFS:
amarok-1.4-lucid
Bibletime_lucid-2.7a
devx_java1.6.0.20-i586-sfs4
dpup_devx_007
OpenOffice-3.2
wine-1.3.2-i486-sfs4

Tried numlockx which did not work, consider adding that capability for those of us with desktops that prefer numlock to be on.

Cheers,
Jim

Pwireless2 isn't hard to fix. Just copy wpa_cli and wpa_supplicant from /sbin to /usr/sbin. /usr/local/Pwireless2/config looks for them in /usr/sbin. I don't know how what the arrangement is supposed to be but I am using Pwireless2 now on my first run of dpup007. I haven't checked it out but it booted right up on my troublesome laptop on first try.

It seems that Pwireless2 has been more stable for me than SNS. rjbrewer has posted on other topics that it has worked better for him, at least the earlier version. Too, I would suspect the "roam" function is useful to those in more urban areas than I.

Keep up the good work.

007 : runs as usual fine

1. : ~/.jwm/jwmrc-theme isn`t fixed .... I guess right&light for the 2-desktops-persons

2: SeaMonkey -mail 2.0.8 still doesn`t ask me for a password

3: printing via preview (epdfview) works ... changing letter to A4 was the only one I changed at the cups-settings ....cups man lp seems to have only few short examples

4: can`t get gnome-mplayer to play simple music cd properly for the moment

5: Tray apps like network_tray don't show up for now

Fresh frugal install of 007 on the old P3 test box.
Everything was as expected on initial boot.......including working sound and internet.
I tested GMplayer with wmv,avi and mp4 files no problem.tried an actual dvd movie.....no problem there either.
However, I can confirm problems with audio cd's.....took forever to start playing,would play a few seconds then pause for a few then resume playing.
DeaDBeeF played some mp3 and ogg files, no problems.

And when is an antipodean cartographer going to release a proper upside down map, with an upside-down mercator's projection, so arctic regions are shrunk, and southern areas achieve their real size?

[Lobster]

just having the usual sound issues

Using James Bond version (007)
Yep me too. Does not give me options and then insists on providing
a driver that does not work.
I have two sound cards so might try configuring manually or wait for new kernel update

Incidentally New Zealand does not exist, just like the
man eating Haast Eagle

Great job igu, your new job (are you eating on the premises?)
is clearly sustaining your penguin efforts

Very fast and useable Igu, well done all.

Igu I use your fontwizard here, set to hintslight as that is what works best on this screen.

[DaveS]

Ha Ha... video performance with flash is a little strange..... with Seamonkey2.1.b1
Its a Seamonkey thang!

[Iguleder]

Ummm ... we need to get the numlock thing working. Can anyone make a PET? We also need some wizard that lets you turn it on/off by creating or erasing a symlink in /root/Startup.

For some reason numlockx doesn't work here.

Anyway, 008 already has:
- The JWM theme fix
- The wallpaper fix
- Pwireless 2 removed

Now it's time to add more interesting ideas like 01micko's wbar ... I'm off to work on the kernel.

[dejan555]

I will try to get numlock working and test micko's wbar and maybe rip that wizard from dpup 484 later today.
