I am having a few problems with Python / Pygame. It was working fine, but then the next time I booted up nothing worked.
I've re-compiled it all and about to try again.

Also I am hoping to compile build mupdf (a fast pdf viewer).

I've been running the RPi through a nice 1080p tv this morning. It looks good.

EDIT
Here's a screen-shot: viewing "PracticalCommonLisp.pdf" with mupdf while I have a little play with hello-world in CommonLisp.

fun!

It's easy to compile zathura and it's very fast.

I made a GUI for it using gtkdialog.

Thanks Don. I'll have a go if mupdf doesn't satisfy me!

Check out my ftp site if you want to have a play with:

Is anyone planning or is looking at gtkdialog C source code?
Any tips?

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 684#629684

There is a problem - the 'pull down' menu appears at the base of the program . . .
I will be looking at the code this weekend with Shadow . . .
actually he will be looking at the code and I will be making tea . . .

No promises. Will do what we can . . . :)

Thought it would be nice to have a Life program on the Pi.
I've uploaded the binaries here.

Image of Sap6 Puppi from BarryK

I have changed the icons and JWM theme. Otherwise this is pretty much what boots to the Raspberry Pi powered desktop . . .
USB recognition and many other things awaiting debugging.

Sadly me and Shadow were unable to fix gtkdialog :oops:

:) gosh long time since I used the links browser . . .
Anyway it is working and I am posting from Sap6. The keyboard arrow keys are not working, (something I also noticed in Abiword). So am using the mouse to position the cursor . . .
You also get Geany and leafpad text editors - so that and Rox and a terminal and already feels at home. I may have to change the background image. Oh it may be childish but it makes me feel at home . . . come to think of it I am using a primitive Puppy with a Puppy menu and some of the Puppy programs running on ARM.

then there is also portable opera?

OK had a go with the devx SFS but it crashed out at 40MB download and I am told I have no more room on my 4GB SD card.

Will delete file and see if I still have a working SD image . . .

That would be because you tried to download to the first partition, which is only 64MB.

Yes I am an embarrassment to the kennel. :oops:

The enclosed file is psync which sets the Puppy clock by linking from
time servers on the net.
This is taken straight from Slacko and may be of use. I have not modified.

If the clock is off by a series of hours, in the command line type:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Not tried that in sap6 - but worked in Debian Squeeze and . . .
we probably don't need sudo

Just a thought, but could NetSurf be worth a look? I know it doesn't have Javascript currently, but one of the platforms it runs on is RISC OS, which is an ARM-based OS. In fact, I'm typing this on the RISC OS version right now. Source is available from the NetSurf website http://www.netsurf-browser.org/downloads/source/ - the current stable version is 2.9.

Yes - Netsurf works well. I use that on my Pi.

I have used Netsurf = good, reliable
and Chrome = good (comes with Flash) does not crash the computer if there are browser issues
Midori (in Debian Squeeze) was not reliable/usable

Links = odd - no javascript for example but speedy, find it useful

Have not tried FireFox or Opera on Rpi or any other browsers . . .
