1. I have a small Windows program that makes it output a single beep, but how to produce some test sound from within the Puppy Linux environment? I presume you mean an internal beeper-speaker, not a speaker connected to soundcard? Busybox has nice applet: "beep". It can generate a tone vi...

SFR wrote:Hi RSH
In /etc/rc.d/BOOTCONFIG I found a list of currently loaded .sfs files.

BOOTCONFIG contains list of files mounted by initrd but RSH needs a list of manually mounted files.
Seems that is impossible to recognize a name of file being mounted as loop device.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to work around this issue, or to implement something that enables Links to execute a program which is on the harddisk? Maybe this option can help you: Menu > Setup > Associations. And another thing... is there a way to build HTML files into a resource file so th...

I went through and fixed most of the syntactical build errors, and tweaked the font and border settings so it isn't so fugly. Still needs a lot of cleanup though ... mainly how the functions and variables are declared... also made a build script. Edit @PANZERKOPF, btw most of the fixes were not you...

About GetGUI: I modified somewhat, now it can recognize Dialog/Xdialog syntax and following options: --title --backtitle --ok-label --yes-label --cancel-label --no-label --no-cancel --default-item --password --msgbox --inputbox --yesno --menu --menubox --radiolist --checklist --combobox --fselect Ge...

I can't get imlib2 to play nice with feh, but wbar has no problems... Seems Imlib2 's jpeg loader is broken. Wbar has no problems because you are using png or other non-jpeg images as icons so they are shown correctly. Did you try to use jpeg images with Wbar? I never used Wbar or Imlib so that is ...

# ldd ./links | sort | grep jpeg libjpeg.so.7 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.7 (0xb7b02000) libjpeg.so.8 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.8 (0xb7f08000) Seems you have libtiff (used by Links) linked with one version of libjpeg and Links (itself) linked with another version of libjpeg. Keep one version of libjpeg, re...

Meanwhile I have spend some time trying to build gqview with uclibc/tinyX but seems to need a lot of patching (probably of the gdk/gtk/pixbuf-libs). So remembered trying out danpei some time ago and did a quick build test: Builds nicely and honestly: Much more clean interface than gqview in my opin...

There are some TK apps in Puppy 3 repository:

I would like to know if the ndiswrapper executable written in C, that PANZERKOPF found, works. Could you test it with your hardware? Some time ago I tested it with three cards: 1) Zyxel G320H (Hasn,t native Linux driver) 2) Asus wl-138Gv2 (BCM 4318 Chip. Has native driver, unloaded before testing) ...

Found Explorer-like two-panel filemanager. Very fast, supports drag-n-drop and needs Xlibs only.
One interesting thing: it has own GUI toolkit "cxxx" (never heard of it before) written in c++.
Note: Attached file is xzipped but has gz extension to avoid board rejection.

Sizzlechest wrote:I already know the keycodes from running xev, but I can't manage to bind them.

You must create a text file (Often named as Xmodmap) with redefinitions and load it with xmodmap utility.
Syntax:
Keycode nnn = keysym
For example:
Keycode 123 = XF86AudioLoverVolume
Keycode 124 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume

I tried to make the gtk-server but unfortunately I only can get it running with gtk2 - gets the following error with gtk1: ./demo-stdin.awk *** glibc detected *** gtk-server: free(): invalid pointer: 0xb7ea0f04 *** Weird.. I have compiled old version of gtk-server(1.3.4) with gtk1 and GCC 4.4.4. Su...

Does that mean that instead of usung aufs? and Squash? it only uses vmlinuz and initrd and as you say the root is imbedded. Aufs is mostly used when we want to create a writable layer (tmpfs or other) upon read only filesystem (squashfs or other). Initramfs used in Microsaurus is already writable s...

for USB and CD/DVD but I don't mind if it works as frugal install on HD

This is a kernel with embedded root filesystem so it always boots "as frugal".
You can boot it from any device supported by BIOS and bootloader.

Maybe it not cleans itself from memory after unpacking a program?
I mean that a part of UPX code stays in memory even program is already unpacked and run.

technosaurus wrote:Ok here it is, Puppy in <1mb in a single bzImage

Have tested it. Whole boot process takes 0.5 Sec (or thereabout).
Seems kernel is filled with gunpowder....

I recommend "gamix" instead of "aumix". Aumix lacks some controls on several soundcards whreas gamix has same functions as alsamixer. It is both compatible with gtk1 or gtk2.

N/A in microsaurus' case, Xlocale files you can borrow from same (or maybe any?) verison of Xorg. I rarely set my locale corresponding to my keyboard layout - e.g. in Puppy I usually set my locale to en_GB, while my kbd-layout, both in console and in X, is set to "se". Puppy has Xlocale f...
