playdayz :

One thing that i hate...the default orange wallpaper.

I show quite a lot of people Lucid....and this colour doesn't give out good vibes.

Why not make the Wary logo the default...just remove the Wary text from it.

I don't want to appear as my usual nasty self because 01micko
has my phone number and he'll no doubt give me a nasty call from the
Gold Coast or pass it on to Bugman....an even worse fate.

Please think about it.

I was at a markets ....outer west of Sydney on Sunday.

There were a couple of 2nd hand computer dealers there who were a bit hesitant about me booting Lucid ( slighty older versions ),
but after I loaded it they were not in a hurry to reboot..
It was still on there an hour afterwards.
Especially when I took out the cd and gave it to them and showed
them how to rescue data...back up etc.

One fault that comes up is that I change the screen back to

1024 x 1076....and the drive icons disappear...USB boot.

Alsamixer.
Can we have it put back in the Multimedia menu.
Sound was partially muted on my old comp...this hardly ever happens.

But on recent EeePc 8.9" netbooks...no sound.
Can't give you the model number.

And forget Wireless networking...a later Atheros chip.
Cannot connect it

I will try and see my mate and try this newer Lucid out..
And see if it connects on my Acer

eMachines eM350-21G16i ...only Fluppy worked out of the box.

Sorry to ruin the party.

Thanks again...Chris.

Hi all

A missing library for gimp-2.6.8-Lucid from the ppm libwebkit-1.0.so.2

I know its a boring screen shot, but I can see it

cheers

A couple of old problems are still present:

1. FlSynclient crashes if used after standard desktop startup....so my touchpad does not work "properly" OOTB

2. The latest version of powerapplet_tray2.3 has not been included so no battery indicator on my laptop

Thanks
Peter

so maybe this could be fixed in general.

funny thing with the regular expression !

my tip would be a grep option to adjust

-w, --word-regexp force PATTERN to match only whole words

tried this with lsmod | grep -w hwmon

and it didn't show the hwmon_vid driver (both are automatically loaded by the it87 module)

but I guess its compiled inside the jwm.bin ( some menu.cc file with strncmp C-command )
like
if(!strncmp(ent2->d_name, filename, strlen(filename)))

Not able to use Openshot from Puppy news anymore

Code: Select all

# openshot
Added /usr/share/openshot to system path
--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 1.1.3)
--------------------------------

Today.

replaced cpu_freq_scaling with pcpufreq

Added Gimp 2.6.10 pet to puppy-lucid repo of PPM. To see it must Configure Package Manager -> Update Now.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... -Lucid.pet
Also have prepared a Gimp 2.6.10 sfs that will eventually show up in Quickpet sfs getter.

------------------------------------------------------

2. The latest version of powerapplet_tray2.3 has not been included so no battery indicator on my laptop

Replaced powerapplet_tray 2.2 with powerapplet_tray 2.3.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Added firewallstate-1.5full

--------------------------------------------------------

will remove LXDE_light from PPM. We are already using openbox--and it is a different version causing incompatibility. Someone could still get lxpanel from Ubuntu binaries or otherwise.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Added Alsamixer to Menu

-------------------------------------------------------------------

playdayz, don't forget to fix that syntax error in your DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS with wmswitcher.

It also seems you could do some trimming with Osmo, it pulls in 3 libraries - you could kick out libmhash and use ghasher and recompile Osmo without this dependency.

playdayz, don't forget to fix that syntax error in your DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS with wmswitcher. Wink

Yeah, that nasty thing cost me a half hour to find.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Are any people testing JWM? Just a thought...

I don't think these hurt anything--except for being ugly.

Openshot. I could not fix it last time. Do you remember who did?

Here is a pet of Openshot 1.2.2 (up from 1.1.3). It also needs Python to be loaded, but it still does not work.
http://www.diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/Openshot.pet

Code: Select all

# openshot
Added /usr/share/openshot to system path
-------------------------------------------------------
Error:  OpenShot has not been installed in the Python path.
(Both the site-packages and /usr/share/openshot folders were checked)

Use the following command to install OpenShot:
  $ sudo python setup.py install

I usually switch immediately to JWM although OpenBox works fine. Great to have the WM Switcher.

Cheers,

When you build the Gimp PET, you might want to include this DEB. It is the plugin for SANE scanners.

To get mhwaveedit to launch retrovol as the audio mixer
I have been successful in compiling mhwaveedit with
the option

Code: Select all

./configure --with-default-mixerapp=retrovol

This would be a convenience to users.

Of course the preference file can be set by the user to launch
retrovol which is what I have done.

I am using luci233

I was successful in installing newest wacom driver
and using my Wacom Bamboo tablet.

Both Gimp 2.6.8 and mtpaint 3.31 responded to pressure
of pen.

I describe the installation process in wacom thread

I would like to understand and resolve the touchpad issue.

1. Do I understand correctly that if the computer is auto configured then the synaptics touchpads work correctly?

2. If xorgwizard is run then the touchpads do not work and flsynclient gives an error?

What happens if someone tries to use flsynclient in case #1 above?

Shinobar, do I gather from below that changing some code in xorgwizard will eliminate case #2? If w2e change that code does the problem go away?

Shinobar, does your pet which has been referred to handle both cases? If so why don't we put it into the distro?

What I would like is the solution that is most transwparent to users and *works* every time.

Everyone please help me understand. Thank you.

Regarding touchpad, well known what happens:

At the first run, the touchpad works.
Running xorgwizard disables the touchpad.
Flsynclient can recover, but it shows error before running xorgwizard. It cause confusion for the users.

The fault of the xorgwizard regarding the touchpad is 2 lines.
Curiously, 1 of 3 types of touchpad is enabled.
Code:
# grep MaxTapTime /usr/sbin/xorgwizard
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"\
Option "MaxTapTime" "0"\
Option "MaxTapTime" "0"\

The first one is Elantech touchpads, code add by Jemimah.
But old two, Synaptics and Alps are remained disabled.

Japanese team are aware of this situation from years ago and all enabled in the Japanese editions.

I am dense today I guess don570, but someone mentioned this and I checked and the retrovol mixer controls the volume output from mhwavedit (as is). The mixer is already "launched" as it is in the sytem tray, isn't it? So what else is needing to happen. I will try your pet and see. Thanks.

OK, I see. You want it to Launch Retrovol with the button for Launch Mixer. Got it.

Also don570, we are using the ubuntu binary of mtpaint 3.31.. Would there be any advantage to using one of the later versions you mention--that would outweigh possible disadvantages
