My report on Quirky 6.0
QE?
Does anyone know where there is a Quirky Eric uploaded, or do I need to build my own?
Sorry, i've been off playing with the T2 build system and ignoring puppy

Well, Quirky Eric (Quirky built via Buildroot) is history now. It still has bugs.scsijon wrote:Does anyone know where there is a Quirky Eric uploaded, or do I need to build my own?

But, if you want to play with it, the next upload of the Quirky build system that I do to here will have the info:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky6/project/
Expand, then look in support/buildroot
I will probably upload in a few days.

Any chance to provide a specific patch for Default theme from your current quirky build tree, to facilitate porting to woof-CE?

3builddistro has become quite different from the Puppy one, so the patch probably won't work, plus there is one "red herring" in the patch, an unrelated change that I made.
You may have to apply the changes manually.
The choose_themes patch should work.
I have also attached an example default-theme file.
Note, there is a new variable, to specify default dpi.
You just create a default-theme file in your target profile folder, for example woof-distro/x86/ubuntu/unicorn
Note, I haven't actually tested this default-theme thing yet!

I just edited the patch to remove hunks 1,3,5 and worked.
Hopefully 3builddistro will be working too.

Ndswrapper Broken in Quirky? (Tahr & Unicorn)
Ran Quirky Tahr on my wife's netbook eeepc with great success using a
2GB sd card. When I ran Quirky tahr,unicorn, and the live-cd on my
computer (Celeron E3200 G41 chipset 4GB Ram) all was good until I ran
Ndiswrapper in the Network Wizard. My trusty old TI-ACX wireless card
did not setup correctly. No Interface found. Remembering the distant
past when Ndiswrapper was only a console app, I opened console, ran
Ndiswrapper. - It appears that its compilation failed. (Screenshot
attached)
BarryK, when you have the time, would you please repair this for future
Quirkies. Thanks.
Currently running Precise 5.7.1

Hang around, I will be releasing a new Quirky very soon. I just checked, it does have 'strict.pm' in it, so hopefully you will have success!

The unicorn live ISO is really very nice. I'm posting from it, it's very fast even on this old Centrino CPU with 2MB RAM. The downside is that it takes several minutes to load the system in RAM - BK did say that in advance.
There's a driver problem. I have a USB wifi adapter, TP-LINK TL-WN725N version 2. Puppy Network Wizard identifies it as a Realtek 802.11n NIC with module r8188eu. I _think_ the module is the right one, but when I click to configure interface wlan0 and scan the network I get this error message dialog:
More info about the adapter

I've noticed some odd behaviour with Barry's distros
Description:
1) Install a Chinese font
2) Install mo files of common app like mtpaint or deadbeef
3) Now switch country to LANG=zh_CN i.e. Chinese mainland
Restart X
4) Launch mtpaint ---> Menus are still English
___________________________________________
This behaviour doesn't occur for LANG=zh_TW or LANG=zh_HK

I describe how to install Chinese in various puppies HERE

The next Quirky, compiled completely from source in T2, has the latest mtPaint. I hope that you have success with that.
Coming soon.

Regarding compiling from source I was wondering if you have build scripts that could be added or adapted to Woof-CE/petbuilds that Micko started before his recent LoA.BarryK wrote: The next Quirky, compiled completely from source in T2

I am going the "other way", looking outside woof/quirky at an established build system (T2). Everything is already in place in T2, even cross-compile support, and support for thousands of packages, very sophisticated scripts. Easy integration of patches and build and install options.mavrothal wrote:Regarding compiling from source I was wondering if you have build scripts that could be added or adapted to Woof-CE/petbuilds that Micko started before his recent LoA.BarryK wrote: The next Quirky, compiled completely from source in T2
My objective is to build everything in T2, and improve the interaction between my Quirky build system and T2. See my latest post toward this end:
http://bkhome.org/news/?viewDetailed=00132
Note that this approach will be easy to port to woof-CE. Essentially, there are my upgraded '0pre' and new '0pre-add', plus new and improved templates in 'packages-templates'.
For now, it is a work-in-progress.

The packages currently supported in T2:stavpup wrote:Does http://www.mupdf.com/ built in T2 ?

...though, that page hasn't been updated for awhile. Latest packages added are recorded here:

MuPDF is not supported in T2.
It looks very interesting!
