Saluki debs
I feel stupid for not testing this first... But it seems that my app requests already have been fullfilled. Like lucid puppy, Saluki installs ubuntu debs!
It is just that the package manager doesn't suggest that yet.
The coming days I am going to test a whole bunch of debs I'm sure
BTW - does somebody know how I can make Saluki start exe files right away? After installing wine, Saluki opens the wine file manager when I calick on an exe. Then I get the opportunity to open the program. I do not think this extra step is needed so do I remove it?

Code: Select all
wine start /Unix "/path/to/windows/app/whatever.exe"
Better still, xmenumaker as the option to start windows apps with wine if it is installed, under the app input just navigate to the exe file
then select from the Open with, wine (exe), it will then have a menu entry wherever you like.
If you want an icon for the entry there is a app called wineicons-1.0.6 in the PPM that will extract the icon from the exe, dll
and make a png out of it and place that somewhere convenient and add it with xmenumaker.
windows icons will work in the menu as they are with out being converted also.

I am having some difficulty getting 022 to run on my ASUS Eeebox PC EB1501, which has an Intel® Atom™ N330 Dual Core CPU.
The machine is 2 year old but I wonder if the latest 022 requires more resources than available in this machine. 021 continues to work perfectly.
I've a notion that the problem relates to the Nvidia Ion graphic chipset,
Could anyone advise; should I search for a better video driver to run 022 or just stick with the already fine 021?

A question related to the opening request to visit the new website http://saluki-linux.com/.
Is the intention to switch to this new site; I ask because the main traffic appears to be still targeting this forum.
I note also that the downloads link of the new site is not currently pointing anywhere.
Cheers,
Oliverjames

Comic book problem in Saluki
My happiness for the installability of debs wasa not as eternal as I had hoped. Or at least not yet.
I can't get a good comic book reader to work. Evince will open comic book files but soaks up a lot of memory. qcomicbook / comical / comix are all good alternatives (I especially like qcomicbook which is ultralight & fast) But none of the existing pets or available debs are actually able to open the files
and for the rest... I had hoped that a deb of gnucash would open but no. Same with gpodder, glabels and retroshare
soon I will test the music stuff (ardour, hydrogen, lmms, mixxx, rosegarden) but I do not expect they will work out of the box.

Here's ComicMaster that I compiled in Saluki, just try it as I'm not sure as to whether you will need other dependencies.
If it works goodo, here is a link to tell you what can be done with it as there is no manual and it does look a little confusing.

Re: ComicMaster error in Saluki 22
I assume you are using Saluki and have Qt installed, strange I only used qt dev files from the repo and used src2pkg to compile it, is it working for anybody else?Dromeno wrote:Hi Geoffry,

My install of Saluki is a mess at the moment, I've installed that much stuff I've lost track of whats installed, so that maybe a problem.
I tried to compile qcomicbook but it needs poppler for qt, looked like a nightmare to compile it, so I gave it a miss.
I've been looking for a AdobeAIR comic reader, I found one but all it does is read image files, so that means they have to be extracted first which defeats the purpose,
if that's the case any image viewer could be used.
Anyway if comicmaster proves to be useless I'll remove it and try again at a later date with a clean install of Saluki.

I posted all issues I had with the 1101HA and Saluki 0.2.2 already on the Saluki homepage's forum, but I wondered: is it better to post here?
A quick overview of the problems encountered:
-wakes up from suspend with black screen
-trouble with microphone
-Battery pack treported to be empty, just after a full reload
-Increase/decrease sound level (F11/F12) only function right after boot up.
-Missing libraries in the Firefox package.
Question: what are the files named "delta" on the download page?

Re: Bug in icewm or xfce4?
You need to use the switcher in the control panel.Dromeno wrote:The Saluki 22 package manager offers JWM and IceWM as alternative window managers for xfce4. But if you install IceWM there is no way to switch back to xfce4 (xwin startxfce4 doesn't work properly; xfce4 is started but later the system goes starts IceWM).
With JWM this does not occur but there the wallpaper is wiped out. The wallpaper chooser in xfce4 does not work too good either, it only accepts the name "default".
