Beta 3 flaws

#331 Post by don570 »

Beta 3 flaws



1) Right hand click of folder says 'add to archive'
but it didn't work correctly for me. First I get an error
message window and then I get a bz archive that combines
the text files into one file!!

2) One click on .html file opens the file correctly with
elinks but one click on .htm file opens a blank screen.

3) Why did you choose control alt q for launch keystroke
combination for Quick Launch. The help file says ctrl-shift-L
... and make sure you use version 1.4 since it
has an improvement to buttons.

...and there is now a nice Spanish translation by autogestion

I am sooooooo guilty of that! vlc-gtk, browser-installer, toggle-rox-desktop, feh, conky, elinks, desksetup - I wondered where to put their config files and always ended up in /root :roll: :oops:
its not really anything for you to worry about if you are packaging for only Puppy, just if you are making portable packages for use in other distros

normally there is a system default in /etc
the way it works is "program" looks in default location for user config
if it exists, then it is used
if parameters are changed, it copies to home with the change (if the program can modify its defaults)

for example jwm will look for /etc/system.jwmrc if it doesn't exist in $HOME but since jwm doesn't have a builtin tool to modify its own config file, it is not copied

rox on the other hand can modify options and will look in /etc/xdg/rox.sourceforge.net/
(actually its $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/rox.sourceforge.net/*/*)
before saving changes to
$HOME/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/*/*

Hi sc0ttman:

In reference to this
- es, de, fr translations for JWMConfig, wizardwizard, input-wizard, xserverwizard, xkbdmanager
Just send me a few files in regular text format and I shall see what I can do to translate them to Deutsch.
PM me or post it here in the thread, whatever is best for you

Translations

#334 Post by shinobar »

@wuwei
most of the translations are using gettext system.
.pot file --> .po file --> .mo file
.pot to .po, you can use a text editor, but I usually use poedit.
Take it easy. You can easily catch the how to.
poedit-1.4.2-3-i686.pet or poedit-1.4.2-4.sfs from http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/wary/opt/

The .pot files can be found at /usr/share/doc/nls in akita linux.

Call me stupid shinobar,
but I'd rather not fiddle with all these steps, just to get to a text.
I gladly offer some translation work, but would appreciate a Geany readable textfile to start from, if it is not too much asked.

For example, look up the file /usr/share/doc/nls/jwmconfig.pot by geany.
The .pot file is a template and .po is for a specific language.

Copy jwmconfig.pot to jwmconfig_de.po.
You can edit the .po file by geany, but remark you must use UTF-8 encoding.
Keep the english at each line of msgid.
Write the german at each line of msgstr.

EXAMPLE:
msgid "Shortcut Details"
msgstr "Shortcut Einzelheiten"

Post the .po file here then another guy can convert .po to .mo.
(poedit does it automatically.)

modify Quick Launch

#338 Post by don570 »

When installing Quick Launch on Akita
there are several folders that won't
open.

Note to Scottman: It's easy to modify the script. Just delete
the lines that refer to non-existant folders.

Thanks for the instructions shinobar.

It seems I was - somewhat - successful.
So please find the first file in de translation here:

Hi wuwei,
are you ready to climb another step on the learning curve :?:

Code: Select all

msgfmt jwmconfig_de.po
if no devx installed: command not found
Here is a pet which allowes msgfmt without devx:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 42&start=5

I have been msgfmt'ing your jwmconfig_de.po (no other po file indirectory)

Code: Select all

# msgfmt *.po
jwmconfig_de.po: warning: Charset "CHARSET" is not a portable encoding name.
                          Message conversion to user's charset might not work.
jwmconfig_de.po:93: end-of-line within string
jwmconfig_de.po:379: end-of-line within string
msgfmt: found 2 fatal errors
# msgfmt *.po
jwmconfig_de.po:93: end-of-line within string
jwmconfig_de.po:379: end-of-line within string
msgfmt: found 2 fatal errors
# msgfmt *.po
jwmconfig_de.po:379: end-of-line within string
msgfmt: found 1 fatal error
# msgfmt *.po
# 
Changed CHARSET to UTF-8
corrected the missing double quotes and no error.

msgfmt *.po -o - > /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/jwmconfig.mo

And you can immediately see your translations :)

L

Edited: Your translation of tray as Leiste is brilliant ( I have used elsewhere Tablett, no so good :oops: )

Danke L18L,

you guys are putting a lot of pressure on an "old" man.

Will try your suggestion, maybe this coming week.

It's too nice out there, today; the Pope is in town and there are a lot of things to do.

Auf Wiedersehen!

Right.
But i recommend poedit-1.4.2-4.sfs from http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/wary/opt/
Poedit runs msgfmt automatically at saving the .po file and creates .mo file.

Shinobar,
Right, there is always more than 1 option.
Mine was for the command line freaks.

I am glad you are active here again and
CONGRATULATIONS: your pupsaveconfig, though a bit differently, has found into woof now

Sc0ttman, I believe @Shinobar had solved this in his WARY versions. He may be able to offer something helpful.

Hope this helps.

thanks shinobar, I already tested that one too... I seem to have problems in Akita with urxvt and UTF-8... urxvt won't show UTF-8 characters, but 'termit' is installed and that does work fine... :?:

(I tested a lot of UTF-8 test pages from the internet, downloaded and online)

Also, on another note, it's not a big problem for me, I made a workaround, but I think SFS load 1.2 still fails when the path to the SFS file has a space, or ']' or '['...
..(and maybe others).. not sure..

Here are the changes I made to Akita, AFTER releasing Beta3...
They will be included in the next ISO (beta4)..

Code: Select all

- better PPM dependency checking:
	- updated /root/.packages/livepackages5.txt:
		- added deps to xournal, should auto install required deps now
		- added mplayer as a dep to gnome-mplayer package
		- turned a few more packages to "on" - such as xorg-server, dmxproto
- fix for gnome-mplayer (from PPM):
		- added /var/lib/dbus/machine-id (hardcoded text file)
- added 'gnome-mplayer' and 'mplayershell' to defaults-chooser

- i18n "Theme	Manager" and "Network Shares" GUIs
		- reworked /usr/local/ql_gui to support locales
		- updated rcfiles, added more of them - for de, es, fr, ru

		- removed hardcoded paths to X, Xorg and Xvesa
		- removed some stuff that didn't work and wasn't needed

- added the "xload" CPU monitor to startup options
	- created rc.xload script in /etc/init.d
	- added swallow /etc/init.d/rc.xload to JWM tray
	- added group options in jwm-extra for xload
	- updated '/usr/sbin/startups' script, added xload entry, updated all startups.mo translation files
- fixed /etc/rc.pmconky (not used as yet - pmconky still disabled at each boot, in .xinitrc)

- added CLI .rtf file converter: /usr/bin/unrtf
- added ROX right-click options and new run action for RTF files
- added CLI backup util: /usr/local/bin/agedu
- updated elinks: better handling of external image viewer 
- added proper ROX-App and right-click options for ghasher

	- added full path to icons in shutdown menu entries
- i18n'd PupShutdown (not radkys version, my own simpler version)
- updated /root/Startup/gtk-mnt-links, different names for symlinks (now no ']' or '[' included...)
- fixed libpoppler:
	- updated to latest w5 version, added more symlinks, required for xournal (from PPM)
	
- now with framebuffer enabled.. added a different 'vmlinuz', compiled by Keef .. thx :)
- updated boot options in menu.lst, uses 800x600x32 as default vga mode (vga=0x315)
- fixed quick_launch, added checks for missing folders, also updated locale info for keybindings

- improved CSV filetype support
	- added /usr/bin/csv2txt, converts csv for better readablility, outputs to text editor, support X and no X

#349 Post by technosaurus »

there is a bug in jwm_tools scripts that I just figured out ... will require more time than I have right now to debug it but the basic solution is

replace
read LINE;

with

read LINE || [ "$LINE" ];

this is what is causing menu entries to end up in the wrong places and such
(test case - remove newlines from the end of a file)
Check out my [url=https://github.com/technosaurus]github repositories[/url]. I may eventually get around to updating my [url=http://bashismal.blogspot.com]blogspot[/url].
