Need help telling it to use Swedish keyboard but
English in menu.
I first used setxkbmap se but so much have made a typo

to play mp3?

I tried to use setxkbmap se but that seems to not work in terminal?
I\ve forgotten how one do it
Archwiki suggest this
KEYMAP=sv-latin1
Me bein Swedish me self makes me wanna hjälpa dig
My experience:
Yeah, setxkbmap works on everything else except terminal.
Geany, Firefox and so on works fine.
Maybe you can pacman a unicode terminal, I think that solves it.

I've tested setxkbmap se and that works good thanks
What else to test.
I guess me should change mp3 to mplayer instead .

mavrothal: adrv will be there even if only 2 or 3 MB, because it will allow easy remasters with different DE, window managers, or in other languages. I will continue to make separate archapps with my prefered applications, so it will be there for those who wants to use it. Also I think that all hard work around adrv is done, it would be bad to throw that away.
Well, I guess this is one reason we have so many distros and pupplets (with so few users each
).
However, I still believe that offering a complete package in the ISO is a good idea if you want to go beyond linux enthusiasts.
On the other hand I have no wish to build an Archpup spin.
So here is what I did:
The attached initrd1-3.patch and initrd2-3.patch files will add also a
YDRV sfs in the union!
So now you can have 3 SFSs (besides zdrv) that will autoload if found.
Currently the YDRV name is set to "archapps-12.12.sfs" but can be changes as needed in DIDTRO_SPECS.
Th 1-3 patch is for the original 12.12 sfs while the 2-3 patch is for today's version (with the adrv sfs)
Hopefully someone will put it to use...
Of course an ISO with the 3 SFSs will be bigger than 80MB but you'll be actually able to do something with it (other than download packages).
If you want to test it
here is an initrd.gz that will load the 3 sfs.
The relevant names as included in DISTRO_SPECS are:
Code: Select all
DISTRO_IDSTRING='1212ARCH09012013XXXXXXXXXXXX1234'
DISTRO_PUPPYSFS='archpup-12.12.sfs'
DISTRO_ADRVSFS='adrv-12.12.sfs'
DISTRO_YDRVSFS='archapps-12.12.sfs'
If you use YRDV, is also suggested to patch your SFS_load with
this patch

Newly added package musl (for building static binaries) in archdev.sfs made problem in this: after ldconfig that is run on every boot it switches /usr/lib/libc.so symbolic link target from libc-2.16.so to ld-musl-i386.so.1. That breakes compiling of some packages , so I made new archdev-12.12.2.sfs with this coflicting package removed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I don't think Arch Linux is better than Puppy or vice versa....I think they're a head to head tie. The two best Linuxes of all. until now.

12.12.2... With PWireless2 working? Well... Works and look awesome!
Long time no see such a great Puppy. Maybe since BoxPup...
Great job! Thank you!

YDRV!!...i think it's unique, new, a step in the right direction away from normal tradition, and also.....a GREAT idea. ppl love new. Just opening it up and seeing it's something different attracts attention. Like, "OK...this is something different, let me fully check this out."

Pls look at the French, German, Spanish sections of the forum: I did open a thread on Archpup. But I will not answer myself in those days because I did have a terrible death at home and have actually other things to bring in order! I hoppe that other contibutors will help. The chances are good to get answer as with have divers really good contributors of Quebec.

Consulte s.v.p. les sections francophone, allemande et espagnole du forum, où j'ai ouvert une discussion sur Archpup dans chaque langue. Mais je m'abstiendrai actuellement de répondre en raison d'un terrible décès dans ma famille qui m'impose d'avoir à régler d'abord des tas d'autres choses. Cependant les chances sont quand même bonnes d'obtenir répondre de la part d'autres, car nous avons d'excellents et actifs contributeurs du Québec.

You should configure musl to provide static libc.a only. How to do this? After you do ./configure on musl, edit config.mak and uncomment SHARED_LIBS= (in my config.mak, this is the last line). Rebuild musl and re-install. You should be all right.
If you need more details, contact Ibidem. He's the authority of musl around here

I have a couple of issues right now with archpup.
1. The keymap in the terminal does not use sv-latin1 i use for the DE/X11 even though I have configured consolemap="se".
2. Volume settings in alsamixer is not saved when I reboot.
I will try to find what errors I have done but if you have any ideas then please let me know. Regards.

Now I will try to recompile cups, same version 1.6.1, but without dependencies krb -1.5 mb and avahi -500kb. This folder /usr/share/i18n compressed is 3mb, something could be removed from there, .. but what...
EDIT: it's finished - cups package size is 6.7mb, converted was 6.9mb, plus I removed 5 dependencies of that old cups package, combined size 2.1mb.
However, testing the latest archpup as of January 9th, 2013, typing
in firefox returns "Not Found"
Is cups still not included in the iso?
A suggestion
It will be good for all if the previous two threads about archpup are linked on the first page of this thread.
Cheers.

ickefes wrote:2. Volume settings in alsamixer is not saved when I reboot.
i have the problem too. using Arch Linux too. and only appears to happen on this computer. the pcm and the master level are kind of strange after reboot. they both tend to start muted and after unmuting them....the PCM level still needs to be increased or decreased to hear anything. So i wrote a script:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
sleep 10
amixer -Dhw:0 set 'PCM' 40%
sleep 1
amixer -Dhw:0 set 'PCM' 2dB+
sleep 9
amixer -Dhw:0 set 'Master' 40% unmute
and add the /path/to/script somewhere inside your /root/.xinitrc script.
this doesn't restore the sound levels from where you last left them...but sets them to 40% which is better than muted.
so before u write the script, test around with the amixer commands from a terminal and be sure they are adjusting your volume, if not try hw:1 in the command instead of 0. adjust the sleep times and the 40% also to your likings.
rameshiyer wrote:So far, I was not able to setup my wired LAN. Please let me know how to setup eth0. How to setup desktop shortcut for programs?.
try manually setting the static ip from the terminal executing the commands:
Code: Select all
killall dhcpcd
ifconfig eth0 10.1.7.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
dhcpcd eth0
I don't think openbox supports desktop icons. you should still be able to get them though using a third party app. the first one i seen suggested doing a Google search was idesk.

I've recompiled transmission-2.76 to use Qt for its gui, it now feels even more responsive than with gtk2. Also added SmillaEnlarger
http://sourceforge.net/projects/imageenlarger/ graphical tool ( based on Qt ) to resize images.
@jamesbond: I just used same configure options as for package in AUR
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mu/musl/PKGBUILD, Thanks for your suggestion, this package was added as experiment, but probably will return for some future release.
@smil99: Try with
http://localhost:631/admin
@stifiling,ickefes: For me sound levels are stored properly on reboot, set PCM and Master on 51, rebooted and thay are saved.

Thanks simargl.
http://localhost:631/admin works ok and all pages are navigable except

The links to /lib/modules/3.6.8/build and /lib/modules/3.6.8/source are pointing to the wrong places in the dev sfs
Both have to be corrected to /usr/src/linux
before you can compile
