spup-121.02 pre-alpha3 based on 13.37

[ttuuxxx]

I removed the older transmission from above, after some testing it was found to be very unstable.

James I am thinking of ditching nouveau and putting it in quickpet. It seems it has improved for newer hardware but is still crap on older gear. I found it quite usable this time, even getting decent HW acceleration, but still only half of what the nvidia driver can do.

Since my main Linux box is now old I guess, thought I'd try 120 in something with a newer Nvidia card.
Live pfix=ram in my Windows 7/PCLOS box. Everything working on initial boot.

EDIT:
Even with the newer Nvidia card still unable to change driver to anything other than nouveau.........X simply won't start.

ttuuxxx, you could try the latest 1.x - I remember they were smaller than the 2.x versions and had no dependency on libevent, which is highly integrated into the sources now.

[ttuuxxx]

Wow look at the size of the QT compile folder, massive

and Iguleder I'm trying different 1 series transmissions

[ttuuxxx]

Hi Iguleder
well I checked as you requested
Transmission 1.93 632kb bin
Transmission 2.22 678kb bin
Transmission 1.20 467kb bin <-- winner needs testing guys
worked for me
ttuuxxx

[Iguleder]

Don't forget this:

libevent-1.4.14a|libevent|1.4.14a|1sl|BuildingBlock|380K|libraries/libevent/1.4.14a|libevent-1.4.14a-i486-1sl.txz|+glibc-solibs,+python|when a specific event occurs on a file descriptor or|slackware|13.1|slacky|

Transmission 1.x is much smaller if you also count this one

EDIT: cool stuff, DeaDBeeF now has a built-in converter in 0.5, if the final comes before 5.3 we should ditch FFConvert and Pmusic in favor of it.

[01micko]

Ok, we can probably have the older transmission, Transmission-2.22 is a salix package and in the repo anyway. May just be able to rename the package transmission1-1.20 or something.

Still banging my head on this stupid fr/azerty/sk/qwertz keyboard bug. This is a real problem, that I can't find how to fix. It has something to do how the newer xorg (xkb) reads the keymap.. or well not reading as the case is

[Iguleder]

I'll try to hack it to remove the web interface, the daemon and all the things we don't need. This one seems promising.

Wish me luck!

EDIT: micko, try to revert xkeyboard-config.

[Iguleder]

Meet our new friend

I was pretty goddamn sure it has the web interface, but it doesn't. I built it with some tweaks.

It was built without crappy dbus support in a very dirty way, I set the minimum supported dbus version to 99.99.99

Code: Select all

[01micko]

Ok.. I'm on to this stinking keyboard bug.

The rules are changed. They are in /etc/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst

Dejan in particular (I haven't worked out fr/azerty yet Tasgarth) If you are around can you boot spup-120 and try this from a prompt (in X)

Code: Select all

setxkbmap -model 102 -layout sk

That gives me a qwertz keyboard whearas it was bugging out with the rules Puppy has been going by. Ok, on IRC

[Iguleder]

Forgot these ...

The tiny Transmission as built with:

Code: Select all

.
export CFLAGS="-march=i386 -mtune=i686 -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS
/configure --build=i486-pc-linux-gnu --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-gtk --disable-libnotify --disable-wx --disable-beos --disable-cli --disable-darwin --disable-daemon --disable-shared
make -j2
make DESTDIR=~/packages/`basename $(pwd)` install
strippkg ~/packages/`basename $(pwd)`
splitpkg ~/packages/`basename $(pwd)`

Cheers

micko01: will test later and report. Thanks.

[ttuuxxx]

I updated Iguleder transmission package with the mailcap update and rox MIME-types
better functionality that way

[ttuuxxx]

The qt packages were kind of big, I did move the webkit to another package also, Most qt apps just use 3 libs, but Its like every couple months they make new libs and it grows.
If anyone wants to weed out my packages further feel free

I have as yet to get to a desktop and I have tried with the first fix of xorgwizard as well as selecting each nvidia included driver and the vesa driver.
None got me to a desktop.

So here I sit all broken hearted.
Tried to shit.
But only farted.

[MinHundHettePerro]

Hello !

Tried the 120 yelp (pre-alpha). BABY variant was a no-go. Standard got me to a desktop with correct resolution, testing xorgwizard results in un-recoverable BlkSoD - got the dreaded on-board i82845/Brookdale graphics thingy.

I always boot with boot param. pkeys=se, which, normally, gives me a Swedish keyb in X - not this time, though. However, it got me a faulty keyb on the (real/proper) command-line - most keys were correct, but our Swedish letters åÅäÄöÖ were replaced by Greek sigmas etc. (Went back and checked spup100 - same there for non-X.)

Anyway, pkeys param. put the appropriate entry into /etc/keymap, but I had to make an xkblayout=se entry to xorg.conf before getting sw. characters in X.

Got rid of the LC_COLLATE error msg by setting the locale to en_US, en_US.utf8 and then to the final en_GB(.utf8) (commenting out the culprit line in /etc/profile also worked, of course).

(I woofed up two slackpup pre-13.37s a few weeks ago (using my compilation of K2.6.37.6) - never got to the desktop, though . Haven't applied your xorg-hack yet, but will have another go ...)

In anticipation of a post-yelp incarnation of spup120 / MHHP

Make a you a deal.

I'll do my best to fix the se bug if you fix permissions on your kernel source sfs {permissions on sfs is a common problem)

Cheers!

Copy or move it to /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc (code if it's saved in /root)

This should overwrite the old one. There will be a pet later, or maybe even a new spup if I can get the se bug fixed and the xorg sorted.
