Re: Puppy 4.2 "Deep Thought" - Official Patches & Updates
I should mention here, too (as well as in the "Bugs & Fixes" thread) that it's probably quicker and easier just to edit line 78 of the /usr/sbin/remax script yourself to fix this very simple bug. Here's how:WhoDo wrote:Updated Remaster Express (RemaX) for 4.2
Resolves PUP_LAYER error reported by Libretto100ct
supplied by David (pa_mcclamrock) McClamrock
Original code:
Code: Select all
if {[info exists $PUP_LAYER] == 0 || $PUP_LAYER eq ""} {
set PUP_LAYER "/pup_ro2"
}

if {[info exists PUP_LAYER] == 0 || $PUP_LAYER eq ""} {

}
It's stupid to use inferior software for ideological reasons.

One more bug found and fixed--please use the attached .PET, not the one above, unless and until somebody reports yet another bug. This one is:
Updated Remaster Express (RemaX) for 4.2

Abiword Regression...
Here is ttuuxxx's revised Abiword-2.6.3 with the addition of plugins and extras from the faulty Abiword-2.6.6 ... the best of both worlds.
http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/ttuuxxx/ ... pdated.pet
The patched version also supports the more recent .docx format of Microsoft Word 2007! Thanks, ttuuxxx.

here's the update For Rox-filer mime file to recognize .docx as a abiword file so it opens up automatically when you click on it, I figured it out it wasn't the regular mime location in root, it was located in usr/share/mime. Learn something new everyday I guess:) Anyways it works, feel free to test it out

The only thing to keep in mind, anytime we compile rox and build a new package that would have to be added, it doesn't come with rox.
Anyone taking notes? lol
Note this is just a file, not rox itself

Here's something else you might like, Its the latest JWM release plus a new blinky, I finally found the sources for the gtk2 blinky for JWM, not the icewm version of blinky but the sources used in 4 series so it should be really stable, well as stable as any blinky for JWM ever was, there was no error and I used the gnome blinky images and recoloured the blinking screen so its more noticable. I didn't include any blinky jwm/config files just the static bin and thats its. So you get both JWM and blinky

New Puppy Control Panel not working
pcp.gz killed my Control Panel. It is now just a dead link bout in /usr/sbin, as well as off the menu.
Any suggestions?

Re: New Puppy Control Panel not working
Place pcp.gz in your /root directory and click on it to unpack. Then right click the script and choose Permissions. Make the script executable, then click on that. If it works, put that in /usr/sbin. Alternatively, just make the script in /usr/sbin executable by using that method. If that doesn't work, please post your problem in the Bugs & Fixes thread.Flash858 wrote:pcp.gz killed my Control Panel. It is now just a dead link bout in /usr/sbin, as well as off the menu.

Not sure what you mean, ttuuxxx. The script mtpaintsnapshot.sh has been gzipped for ease of uploading and can be unpacked simply by clicking on the file once it is downloaded.ttuuxxx wrote:the mtpaintsnapshot.sh.gz is not a proper extension format? can you fix it please.

It doesn't extract with xarchive on dpup, maybe with xarchiveR in 4.2, but the extension is .sh.gz it should be .gz or tar.gz without the'.sh'WhoDo wrote:Not sure what you mean, ttuuxxx.

I think the .sh is giving xarchive in dpup has issues on opening it because of the .sh in the name

I found the original from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 2&start=75
and tried it and it extracted ok with xarchive, strange, maybe a bad download.

Hey WhoDo You know how a few of them wanted the extra formats for Homebank and I compiled the package and posted it on 4.2 Bugs&Fixes
well here's the link to it, I was thinking it should be a repo item since its 1MB larger compressed, due to the extras needed for the plugins.

1.2MB pet

Ps just trying to tidy up some loose ends:)

Patches don't work
Tried to install two of the above patches, the one for SCIM and the REMAX patch. Both gave the pink failure screen about not opening in proper folder or being corrupt. Othersc installed without a hitch.
AMD Duron 800 on old compaq 5000 series desktop, 1g swap 784 RAM
40g hd running Live CD 0f 4.2 unmodified. Used directions in 41 languages to get it working, but would like to have patch available next time.
Thanks stray

Re: Patches don't work
Interesting. I installed both on my test bed when they were supplied and they installed fine.straypup wrote:Tried to install two of the above patches, the one for SCIM and the REMAX patch. Both gave the pink failure screen about not opening in proper folder or being corrupt.
Here is a workaround until I figure out why that is happening:
1. Use pet2tgz from a console to convert the downloaded pet file to a tgz compressed archive
2. Use Xarchiver to extract the archive to its appropriate folders
3. Copy the resulting folders into your Puppy 4.2 directory structure where they should go.
I think the pink message is given when the file name is not identical to the folder name from which the pet was created. So, for example, if you renamed remax-4.2.1 to remax-4.2.1RC and then tried to install it would throw up that error.
Hope that helps

I just tried downloading the gtk one, and something renamed the + in the name to '%2B'.
You can either rename it by hand, or use this direct link to the copy on my server.
gtk+-2.12.1-xinput.pet
