GNOME Screensaver .pet

#16 Post by Sky Aisling »

Thank you, 666philb.
I didn't know that .debs can be installed directly into a Puppy distro.
This is most helpful.
majorfoo also mentioned that xorg_high.1.1 Lucid.pet is needed.
I found this direct download link with md5 checksum listed by playdayz at this post:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 979#570979
playdayz link reference:
ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet ... -Lucid.pet
md5 checksum:
4ac9d31fa40ee79245d8b27c9e5a4647
The post is dated Oct. of this year. So, the download should be current.
I'll post results in a few days.
Thank you, again.

EDIT UPDATE

Today this was done:

xorg_high.1.1 Lucid.pet downloaded and installed with no issues.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 979#570979

Downloaded xscreensaver_5.15 from Debian site
http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/xscreensaver
See screenshot: Deb_Site1
Download autoplaced into XArchive
Extracted 'all'
See screenshot: XArchive1
Extracted files placed in /tmp
See screenshot: Temp1
See screenshot: Temp2
Read INSTALL instructions located in /temp
See Sky look confused as to how to install package
See Sky leave for long walk on beach

No problem majorfoo. Our crystal ball of this forum doesn't include a 'mind reading' module. You have no way of knowing the short list of my knowledge of Puppy Linux procedures. Your help is much appreciated.

:D Hello,
Sky, you downloaded the source, which needs compiling to be installed...

A while back I compiled Xscreensaver 5.12 but using the 5.07 gui...
I named it pupxscreensaver:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 16&t=66521

For a different take on a slideshow/screensaver, see here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=53439

Still unfinished as a screensaver, but works..

Let's try this again

1. Download following files

xscreensaver_5.15-2_i386.deb
xscreensaver-data_515.2_i386.deb
xscreensaver-data-extra_5.15-2_i386.deb
xscreensaver-gl_5.15.2_i386.deb
xscreensaver-gl-extra_5.15.2_i386.deb

2. DO NOT OPEN ARCHIVE.

3. Using mouse, left click on first .deb file. It installs just like a regular pet file. Follow prompts to install. Then install the remaining four .deb files by left clicking on file

4. Using Package manager, download and install Xorg_high. You must restart X after the installation

5. Get the script from link I previously posted. I place this is root directory. First time you run the script, you may get some message on screen. I don't remember exactly what it says. Just click ok and you should not see the message again.

Hope this helps

Hello Puppyluvr, :)

You write:
Sky, you downloaded the source, which needs compiling to be installed...
Oh? ok,...so, whenever I see a file that ends in .orig.tar.gz I'll know it's source code and needs compiling to install? A new learning curve looms.
Thank you for noticing.

I'll try your applications and post results.... :)


Hello majorfoo,

Thank you for trying again.

xscreensaver-gl_5.15.2_i386.deb
xscreensaver-gl-extra_5.15.2_i386.deb
I apologize for being so dense but where are these files located?
What are their actual address'?
or
What library are then in?
When I look in
http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/xscreensaver
there are no files with these names.
For example see screenshot: Deb_Search1
(Yes, I've tried Googling for the file.)

If you could be so kind as to point me toward the address of the files you list, we'd be in business. And, we can add 'solved' to the thread. :)

Also,
xorg_high.1.1 Lucid.pet downloaded and installed with no issues.

:D Hello,
@Sky, no...
tar.gz simply means compressed, (like .zip in windoze) and can contain anything...
If you see configure or make..
It is source code...

In your package manager "Setup/Puppy/Puppy Package Manager"
Do you have Ubuntu repos listed??
Search there..
Or..
The 5.12 pet I posted above works fine, and including GL savers, has 216 screensavers..
But the glslideshow function in xscreensavers has perl issues that I cant solve.. Not to mention needing functional GL graphics to work as well...
Hence the Slideshow pet above...
( Oh, dont D/L the slock script, it is flawed, and posted 'long ago' for assistance...)

:D Hello,
Hmm, they are all there for me..
2 things..
1 You must restart the PPM to update the repos...
2 You must enter xscreensaver, then choose a repo, then click "go"

OK, 3 things..
The lucid repo has 5.10..
pupxscreensaver is 5.12..
:D

Thank you!

Ubuntu-lucid-multiverse and Ubuntu-lucid-main and Puppy-Lucid lists:
xscreensaver_5.10
xscreensaver_data_5.10
xscreensaver_gl_5.10

Ubuntu-lucid-universe lists:
xscreensaver-data-extra_5.10
xscreensaver-gl-extra_5.10

Must not have restarted PPM after update.

Will 5.10 work?

Note: majorfoo lists two more Debian files with similar names not shown in Ubuntu-lucid-universe. He lists:

xscreensaver-data_515.2_i386.deb not listed in Ubuntu-lucid-universe list

xscreensaver-gl_5.15.2_i386.deb not listed in Ubuntu-lucid-universe list

Hummm? I may have found a slideshow screensaver that works...

I just ran an old live CD called mi.pup 2.6-412 puplet
mi.pup 2.6-412 puplet has a slideshow screensaver in that seems to be working well.
The screensaver liner notes say this:
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Chooselocale country localisation
Icon=/usr/local/PuppyBasicScreensaver02/icon.xpm
Comment=Puppy Screensaver
Exec=/usr/local/PuppyBasicScreensaver02/setup-PB-screensaver
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=X-Desktop
GenericName=Setup Puppy Screensaver
This may be the same Puppy Screensaver maybe built by MU and listed here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 847#295847
I believe MU said he took BasicPuppyScreenSaver02 dotpup and repackaged as PuppyScreenSaver.pet.
I took his PuppyScreenSaver.pet download and installed it in Lucid Puppy 528.
The screensaver didn't activate. I'll look for missing files.
What would be needed to make this work in Lucid Puppy 52x?
Here is a screenshot of the control panel from the screensaver in mi.pup 2.6-412 puplet:

:D Hello,
majorfoo, nice find..
I somehow missed that...
When I make a 515 pet, I will add that in to the launcher...
The 5.07 pet didnt include GL, like pupxscreensaver (512) did, because then, not too many Puppy users were running GL/Mesa, like today...
I never knew that root user thing was inhibiting previews..
Really, some xscreensaver should be a standard...
BTW... Xscreensavers can run the Linux "Really Slick Screensavers" binaries... :)

Anyone overcome the perl error with glslideshow????

note to sky and puppyluvr

I compiled xscreensaver-515 today and it contains 200 screensavers, one of which is GlSlideshow. It shows no preview available when I select it. It I click on preview, receive the following messages

Glslideshow: unable to load font "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*180-*",using "fixed"
xscrensaver:13:55:04 -: child pid 21540 (glslideshow) terminated with signal 11

not sure how to handle this - can you provide advice
