nooby

There is no need of it because a file exists (as playdayz alluded to in lupu_520) that runs that line already in spup.

playdayz

There is also a radeon file in /etc/modprobe.conf/ with 'radeon modeset=1'.. I'll need to take a look at that to make sure resetting that value to "0" doesn't break the older radeons or else I'll have to come up with some sort of magic trick! Sorry, don't have makepkg but I intend to find it and include that, and the other slackware tools including amigo's src2pkg on the devx.

Cheers

Hey 01micko, here's my new pet-project: PetThing

Basically, it's a simple and straight-forward Quickpet-like application, built in UNIX-style: it blends my fetchpet and browser_installer packages, so basically I just wrote a "frontend" for the former.

This tool is built to be 100% generic: check /usr/local/petthing/petthingrc - this file has a list of packages in this format:

Code: Select all

category name:package,package,package+dependency,package

You can add more packages to one button using a "+" sign. In my case, I added my firefox_libs package to Opera, because Flash and other plugins won't work without some Mozilla libraries.

The PET has a configuration file with packages from my spup repo, so some packages won't work on spup unless you do some dirty hacks

Hi all

Iguleder that looks cool, love the gui.

01micko, I just compiled the python pets for the ppm. so it is up to date.

could we please have a cull on the menu entries as out of the 149 applications quite a few are doubled up mainly the wizards and some of the desktop setup progs are already included in the wizard wizard.

and in 6 months of continually using puppy I have only ever used 33 out of the 149, do we really need them all or could some be put in the ppm? and some menu & size bloat could be removed at the same time.

just an idea (sorry

)

OK, here's an improved version.

Key improvements:
- Doesn't show packages you already have installed
- The browser installer shows the browser icon
- Different text for browser installer/main gui
- The browser installer displays the package description instead of the name

It's so cool!

Hi Iguleder

downloaded pidgion and Gpaint had to run fixmenus and resart x with both to show in menus, but the GUI is working ok,

but both started in terminal straight after download

would it be possible to get this program changed to include loading music from cd ? like deadbeef-0.4.2 Lucid.pet ?

mp3's play great in 0.4.4 but would like to listen to music from cd's also

thanks
yarddog

playdayz · #415 Post by **playdayz** » Sat 15 Jan 2011, 23:24

Yippee. I think I got it.

Here is ATI_fglrx-10-10-k2.6.34.1.

http://diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/ATI_f ... .34.1-spup

01micko, you might want to put your own Slackware mesa-utils in--that's /usr/bin/glxdemo,glxinfo,glxgears, and glxheads. The ones included in the pet are from Lucid. Or just send me the Slackware mesa-utils.

01micko · #416 Post by **01micko** » Sat 15 Jan 2011, 23:25

playdayz -makepkg is attached

Iguleder -I'll be putting some of your themes etc in the spup repo, but afaic quickpet type things are a lupu thing which is what sets it apart. In this spup I'm going to focus more on making PPM more user friendly and we've made a start with zigbert's new gui

Stripe -I intend to leave the menus as is. Sorry. But I am going to revamp the desk icon situation. One of the biggest complaints you see about puppy is the clutter on the desktop. Rather than alienate purists I intend to have it both ways... that is you can choose between the current scheme, a minimal or bare, except I'm leaving drive icons, mainly for simplicity.

yarddog -Iguleder compiled deadbeef, Iguleder? Want to do one with cd enabled?

Cheers

01micko · #417 Post by **01micko** » Sat 15 Jan 2011, 23:32

Thanks for that playdayz

Billtoo, who installed the ati driver himself kept getting "vesa" reported as the driver (even though acceleration was fine) which caused an issue with mplayer wanting to always run in the xv (?) mode, where it wouldn't go fullscreen. The code is in /usr/sbin/mplayershell, he ended up commenting line 15.

I wonder how your code in the pinstall would work for vesa users? I guess not.

Again this is why we ditched nvidia-xconfig in spup, same thing, messes up xorg.conf

Those proprietary config files aren't aware of Puppy's ways! Shame on those companies!

Cheers

01micko,

I'm having fun with your spup, but have run into a problem trying to use your little pets2sfs program. I can't remember the correct syntax to use with it as you can see here.

Code: Select all

pets2sfs - pupappls-1 /mnt/sdb1/appls_new_install/PupShutdown

Please provide an example.

Thanks,
Jim

smokey01 · #419 Post by **smokey01** » Sun 16 Jan 2011, 01:58

Jim if you place all of the pets you wish to convert to a sfs file into the same directory, say, /root/jim then from the same directory type: pets2sfs jim-01 the file jim-01.sfs will be created in the same directory.

Type pets2sfs --help for help.

Please ignore what was here. The ATI_fglrx driver for spup is now working correctly.

Good to see the newer than Lucid 5.2 Woof in action.

The PPM in particular is much improved. I was trying to view a video (avi file I think it was) - did not work, so downloaded (I think it was the woof repository) VLC. That did not run.

OK the principle is sound . . .

Gosh a real slack report but I am back in Lucid. The only real way to get a feel is to use spup. So will try again for the next release.

VLC 1.1.5 from the Spup repository works fine.

I haven't even tried the Woof repo,but I've had real good success from the Slackware repos.

Thanks James C,

I was trying to just click on an avi file - mplayer program loaded
but file did not play. Then downloaded VLC and tried to play a WTF or WMV (I think those are both MS formats)

and ran into trouble.

Anyways back in spup for further mayhem. The internet connection (ethernet) was not persistent and had to reset.

Improvements for me over Lucid 5.2 is the return of the chat button - yeah baby!
. . . and a browser - a major browser built in.
Also we have JWM which must admit I prefer for major right clicking from desktop. Is it faster too?
Also we get transmission as automatic (so to speak)

Prefer the two layer JWM menu system

is it worthwhile adding this control center?

Hi all

01 micko check this out, the coding might not be up to your standards but it already has the pupppypin files created and enables you to save any custom icon setup. the desktop icon setup is stored in /root/choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin X has to be restarted after any changes to make the drive icons reappear

the drive icon settings are stored in /etc/eventmanager just change them with the desktop drive icons manager, and the changes are stored there

hope this helps

stripe

edited to add: having problems with the save custom icons as it saves images of the drive icons as well and tries to load them when installed, so could get false drives unrtil x is restarted. if wmreboot is the terminal reboot command what is the restartX ? so I can get X to auto restart.
