Upup Jaunty packages
ttuuxxx,
I spoke too soon, your gnome games showed up properly after a reboot. On some others, ie Bibletime, Firefox, Thunderbird, Pidgin that I had installed using Install, I had overlooked that the Categories were wrong. After editing, they now appear properly. I also discovered that after using "fixmenus" and going to the prompt that "xwin jwm" must be entered. For some reason, although "xwin" restarted jwm, that wasn't sufficient to get the new menu items.
Thanks again,
Jim

Pidgin 2.5.5 baseline version 1.7MB
Hi guys well I wanted to make a small version of pidgin like Barry has done in the past and after like 10 different tries I managed to bring it down to a 1.78MB pet, wow not bad at all. Its a lot harder to make pidgin this small due to the all the extras you get with added gnome libs in Upup and utf8 adds around 500kb of extras in a gnome config script, I had to manually remove over 4000 lines of code scattered in it. What a pain, way easier to make a full blown version of pidgin.
anyways please test it and report back what plugins aren't working and I'll remove them, I was thinking about stripping it down of some of the IM clients anyways. Later on when woofs released I'll build a full version with gstreamer, etc for voice.

Hey Ttuuxxx, do you mind in future packaging things like gnome-mplayer separately from big dependencies like Mplayer? It means people can install or update them separately... it is particularly relevant in this example as people often need to use special builds of Mplayer for various reasons.
Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

I downloaded and installed following packages:
1 - Rox 2.9
Went to the funny install of 2.8 first then 2.9
- Lost the option listview and small icons. Had to redo this.
- My OOo48 size icons were very small. Had to redo the set icon for every desktop icon of OOo
- Had a strange issue. Clicking on the desktop gave me the original background, but correct icons. Clicking again gave the Woof background with wrong icons.
Discovered that a restart X-server had to be done. Missing in the instructions?
2 - Gnome-Mplayer
Seems to work, but haven't tested very long
3 - Gnome-games
Seems to be ok, but did play them all. Would take a week or so. lol
4 - Galculator
- Very nice. Like it.
5 - Puppy-Package-Manager-1
- installed ok, but I don't see any effect.
Don't know what to expect, but hadn't the example of the screen shot with the tabs
6 - Pidgin
Didn't install as I was at 2.5.5 already through the repo.
7 - libpng
Didn't install as I don't have FF3 nor Opera
8 - Gimp and Gimp-Xsane
As I have a working Xsane, didn't want to compromise, so didn't install
But something strange is going on.
When I look in the Puppy Package Manager, I expected to see those newly installed packages.
They're not displayed, but I have empty lines(and as far as I can see corresponding to the nr of packages installed) When clicking on it I am asked to confirm uninstalling package "". So I didn't click.

The new gimp looks nice... I'll sink my teeth into it soon. I also installed the gnome games, hours of fun there , but not for me, the young bloke can have a go at them! I also installed Htop, nicer interface than Top in my opinion, easier to read.
When there is more I'll get more!

The card games are great, I like them a lot so many to choose from.
The new Gimp is nice but I miss the menu's like "file" on the left and right UI's just the main window has all the menus now.

Hi Jim just download this file and extract it anywhere and run it, it should install the latest Java for you.Jim1911 wrote:ttuuxxx,

Thanks,

If it doesn't, next time on upup I'll make a package.

ttuuxxx,
I've tried numerous times to install java before on upup with no success. However, thanks to your link, it installed properly on upup one time. Later the pup-save file was corrupted and I've tried numerous times with other pup save files. Each time had this "Error: /root//jre1.6.0_13/bin/java not found Java is NOT installed."
Hope that you will make a .pet and that Barry will include it in the repository.
Thanks,
Jim
EDIT: I removed failed installation of java from the pup-save and then your link installed properly again. Thanks.

Hi all,
I am in the process of getting the Special Source ( a patched source such that conky plays nice with Rox) for conky such that Pwidgets will run in upup. Upup has newer libs and because of this, conky compiled in 4 series will not work.
In the mean time I compiled conky-1.7.0 for Upup only!
BE WARNED<---- This is the first time I've compiled and stripped an app. It works fine for me. Use at own risk. ***NOT*** compatible with Pwidgets, although you could try at own risk
It is only the conky exec and a simple .conkyrc file.

Changes from Original Pwidgets:

tested in upup-476 (standard kernel)
Oki - tried the GBPup icontheme/bg/Rox29. Very nice job on the mimes (as far as I got), but .. driveicons, scaling and a dysfunctional pmount went a little amok (and the nice dim bg on the gtk I generally use went lite , turq41 is not real robust in some ways) .. and I'm actually leaning more towards some of the Smooth-Color icontheme. For me on 476std it's all a bit too fragile. Quite possibly I got the 'tricky' part wrong or Rox got riled or (nice mimes like that I haven't seen since a long-ago fling with the EZpup).
.. ya, a bit late here but maybe try again after 090608 (BK says new bugfix'd alpha then and hopefully an xdelta to go with) on a fresh liveCD
