That breakes compiling of some packages , so I made new archdev-12.12.2.sfs with this coflicting package removed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
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

Code: Select all

http://localhost:631/
in firefox returns "Not Found"
Is cups still not included in the iso?

A suggestion :wink:
It will be good for all if the previous two threads about archpup are linked on the first page of this thread.

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

Code: Select all

chmod +x /path/to/script
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.

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 http://localhost:631. Just wondering what might be the problem.

#339 Post by peebee »

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

SFS_load patch for YDRV

#341 Post by mavrothal »

If you want to implement the YDRV it is suggested to also use the attached SFS_load patch so your YDRV sfs will not be picked up by sfs_load.

How is this ydrv suppose to work?
Is it that the basic load sfs can only
take a certain amount so the ydrv
add to how many one can load?

Or can it be used to load sfs at boot
that makes the usual sfs load more free
to add needed sfs ?

I am so stupid me fail to get it at all.

Jemimah came up with adrv recently
is that exact same or another similar
that one also can add to ahve both
adrv and ydrv and then later xdrv
and qdrv and I mean what is it you guys are up to? :)
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Hi Sigmarl

Thank you for the new version

I did quickly try it of course in spite of my actual time trouble.

a few question:

a/ how to avoid the question if we want use a save file living ArchPup after the first start (for user don't using a save file, EACH start is a first start and it is a highly disturbing question = time wasting!)? how to dismount definitively this new step doing a remasterisation if you really now want to include this step in your future versions as if user would be completely incapable to go to a menu and do the same the only one time needed to generate this save file (absurd is: to avoid this little difficulty only ONE time for untalented users, users don't using save file have the new question ALL the time!)

b/ I did remaster and because of the new adrv-12.12.sfs, I did concatenate in /archpup/install to make the new archpup-12.12.sfs all the files being in the tree of both /initrd subdirectories. after that, I did make an adrv-12.12.sfs from an empty /archpup/installadr having nothing else other than 4 empty dir (/archpup/installadr/etc, /archpup/installadr/opt, /archpup/installadr/root and /archpup/installadr/usr)

all seems to work properly excepted my added gnu-icecat (as Arch seems don't to support real GNU software :oops: : no libre-kernel, no icecat ... sorry!)

icecat starts and crashes now after a few seconds (segmentations error message!)

an idea perhaps?

c/ I will use in the future the adr-nn.nn.sfs to put in my own packages and extensions. is that the expected use of it?

Sakura terminal

#344 Post by Scooby »

I played around a little with sakura terminal.

I added a couple of alias commands to ~/.config/sakura/sakura.conf

when I source the file it's OK

Code: Select all

source /root/.config/sakura/sakura.conf
But after reboot the commands are not available unless I source them again.
(same if I start new terminal)
Isn't sakura.conf supposed to be read when I start sakura?

I tried to add the source command to .start but it didnt help

simargl

#345 Post by simargl »

@Scooby: Use .bashrc to define your aliases, and they should work not just in sakura but in every other terminal emulator.
@oui: There's icecat package available in AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icecat/, maybe it will work better than debian's or other you used. Save file dialog is started from /usr/bin/wmreboot or /usr/bin/wmpoweroff, it's easy to remove if you want to. And adrv.sfs contains openbox, thunar, geany... all graphical applications, so these packages could be easily replaced for instance with pekwm, pcmanfm, leafpad, etc..
To explain this a bit more:
If you want to use pekwm as WM you must remove /etc/profile.d/openbox.sh and add /etc/profile.d/pekwm.sh with this content
export WINDOW_MANAGER=pekwm.
Just removing openbox, without /etc/profile.d/openbox.sh will not work on boot system will be 'trapped' inside infinite loop, trying to execute openbox over and over.

I wanted to learn about patching. So I checked it out.

I guess you're using diff/patch commands for text-files?

I tried to apply the patch initrd1-3.patch

I thought it should be applied to initrd.gz present in archpup-12.12.2.iso

So I mounted ISO. Cp'd over initrd.gz and unpacked it
and tried to apply the patch.

It complains saying cant find file to patch - initramfs.orig

I tried to unsquashfs it also to no avail.

Could you please say something about the order of the procedure?

Did you get eth0 working? Have you tried pns-tool?

Dear Darkcity

Thank you for the help. I will try your suggestion on my office PC on Tuesday (15th January 13) and let you know the status. In meantime, why eth0 is not working under pwireless option already available Arch puppy. Even if changed the setting available in the Pwireless option, it goes to DHCP mode. If possible please look into this. Also anther problem that I have download Java run time 7 through pacman. However, still not working in Firefox and Chromium 23. ( Please note that I am not a programmer) I have been following the Puppy from very beginning of puppy and also have interest in Linux. So simple solution is highly solicited.

jre7 by oracle isn't in the arch linux repos. you must have downloaded the open-jdk7, in which you'd also need to install icedtea-web-java7. this puppy sfs works though which is the oracle jre7:

http://101.143.162.62/puppy/opt/jre-1.7.0.09.sfs

in firefox at least. chromium has always been difficult with java on any linux...at least for me.

did you try setting the static ip from the commandline? did that work?

New archarch.sfs upload is finished, it comes also with smtube and Faience icon theme http://tiheum.deviantart.com/art/Faienc ... -255099649, those blue folder icons look cool. :) BTW, this icon theme is not complete and depends on faenza for some parts. Also I've uploaded new archdev.sfs with musl compiled to only have static libraries (thanks jamesbond) and with prefix /opt/musl. First post links are updated.
