Insidious Puppy 001
Which PET or SFS of OpenOffice is recommended for use with Insidious, please?
I started to load the openoffice-3.2.1.9502_en.US.pet but the pop-up warned about installing to /mnt/home
BTW: That error message includes a misspelled word.

hmmmm... wbar is not one size fits all, I bet a program is missing/changed. I may have to make a simpler version with apps we know will be in puppy.Jim1911 wrote: Problems with added programs:
1. One of my favorite addons, Wbar, will not start. 01micko's fine Wbar-setup appears to function perfectly except for starting Wbar.
2. Pwidgets only partially works, however that's also a problem with luci-240.
Cheers,
Jim
As for pwidgets I can't reproduce your problems Jim.. I will still investigate.

Try LibreOffice, OpenOffice.org's spinoff. It works fine on incidious.edoc wrote:Which PET or SFS of OpenOffice is recommended for use with Insidious, please?

Why didn't I think of that? Quickpet is the culprit. Wbar starts fine with that removed.01micko wrote:hmmmm... wbar is not one size fits all, I bet a program is missing/changed. I may have to make a simpler version with apps we know will be in puppy.Jim1911 wrote: Problems with added programs:

Apparently, I have a hardware conflict. I've tried Pwidgets as the only added program so there isn't a program conflict. Others have reported no problem with pwidgets.
Thanks,
Jim

Nice review, thankssneekylinux wrote:have a video for you on the tube guys....
I added PupRadio back, it fixed itself magically, just like the GNOME-MPlayer fullscreen bug
I think I'll build a 002 and write a full guide for building it during the process. I found a serious bug in my deb2ppm script, which screws up dependencies in PPM a 'lil bit.

Hey guys, here's the solution to the package lists problem. I uploaded it only for passionate testers
Before you run this one, do
Then restart X or run /root/Startup/download_package_lists. It will download a small xz-compressed tar archive with the package lists that came with 001. Around 1 MB in size ... it's great.
EDIT: the 1.2 MB size is because of the xz compression. In the Insidious ISO, I'm pretty sure they take way more.
I want 002 to have this thing instead of the package lists, they're big. I could make this script download Debian package lists and process them, but that would require a fast PC with Bash code or the devx if I want to use my deb2ppm script (for Perl).
EDIT: had a crazy idea ... what if I wrote a script that compares two SFSs, then takes all the extra files from the second one, puts them in a directory and writes a pinstall.sh that removes all files that don't exist in it ... this could be sort of a primitive updating mechanism - I could turn this into a PET and make this dialog also download and install so-called "updates".
Before you run this one, do
Code: Select all
rm /root/.packages/Packages-*

Another idea. I also replied in Barry's blog with this one.
I could make all the special stuff in Insidious much more generic with a homepage field in DISTRO_SPECS.
For example, the package list could be downloaded from:
In the case of Insidious Puppy 001:
In the case of Lucid Puppy 5.2:
In the case of Wary 098:
The distro homepage variable could be used for many other things, the possibilties are endless.
This opens the door to smaller puppies that download non-crucial parts such as documentation and locales if the user wants to. Of course, this could be done through PPM, but what if it's a puplet or a Puppy that doesn't have its own repository? That's where this trick shines
This could be used for "service packs", Quickpet and so many other uses ... I think it's a great idea.

What about this as /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser?
Should make the browser open on this page when you first start it ... well, theoretically. Not sure if it really works.
Code: Select all
#!/bin/busybox ash
if [ ! -d /root/.mozilla ]; then
exec /usr/bin/iceape "http://puppy.b0x.me/psearch.html $@"
else
exec /usr/bin/iceape "$@"
fi

Good news, more stuff for 002:
- New Iceape template with a modified profile - Puppy links in the toolbar, some default settings, a homepage and no Modern theme (1 MB, too much)
- /usr/bin/nicoedit is now a link to /usr/bin/leafpad, for backwards-compatibility (as I did with xarchive and File-Roller)
- New udev 164, compiled from the Debian sources
Stuff already in:
- pupRadio
- The package lists downloader
- Some missing packages (3 if I remember right)

TEH Iguledereh
Seems to be a woof problem with zzz. In quirky-1.4 and Insidious with my 3G modem I have to 'modprobe option' to get the thing loaded. Luci is ok, but things are a little different there . NOTE: muggins had the same issue in quirky, see teh blog!
Also having video trouble on this old box (a radeon 9200pro card, not my main box which has nvidia) with mplayer but NOT gnome-mplayer .. yes more weirdness, been that kind of day!
Funny thing.. with luci modem is ok and sound no good, with insidious and quirky it's the other way, sound ok, 3G modem no good
Cheerio

You should know that since Aug 2005.
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).

My sig has said FRUGAL for years, I didn't notice that the last time I edited it the word had been dropped. It is there again.
