Puppy Squeeze 009 Development
Photo Apps
I am pleased to say that GIMP, ufraw, and gtkam installed with little difficulty.
The tray management in the JWM configuration does not work. This was the case in 004 as well as 005.
Frugal install on a Dell Inspiron 1501.

Adding a new menu categoy?
I have installed Office 97 (Word, Excel) under wine in Lucid Puppy 5.1.1.
The problem is that no menu entries are generated for Word or Excel.
The menu entries would be generated in the menu category "Other". But there is no such category in Puppy Squeeze 005 (or Puppy Lucid).
Question: how to add a new category "Other" in the Menu?

Cups is printing now
dpup-004 and dpup-005 are printing also now !!!
1. problem was that /usr/share/ghostscript/..../Init was missing at all dpups .
2. problem had been the missing world read permission for /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to been shown at the CUPS-WEB-INTERFACE . Just check world read access and it still saves :
3. problem is that cups needs some pdf-support ; the cups-error_log was complaining about libjbig2dec0_0.11-1_i386.deb and libopenjpeg2_1.3+dfsg-4_i386.deb
which I installed simply binarily from the debian-squeeze repository
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libjbig2dec0
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i386/libopenjpeg2
++ google search is sometimes better than debian search ++
(; luma-002 was missing libpoppler5 .... )
(4. problem was an unproper extension cord to the printer ""Unknown pending since"" )

No idea about the menu categories thing, actually
BUT, here I have some good news: I'm building an experimental 006.
New stuff:
- mplayer and GNOME-Mplayer replace gxine
- The gxine fix, in case some application needs Seamonkey's libraries
- Fixed the help page problem, fully working and integrated Seamonkey
- Pnethood replaces Gigolo
- Woof's xorgwizard and xwin - third attempt to fix the keyboard layouts problem
- EDIT: also the custom CUPS/ghostscript/X templates by playdayz; Karl Godt's report is very accurate, the two missing libraries are already in and I added the cupsd.conf to zzSqueeze_Utilities.
You can see all the custom dpup stuff (including PETs) here, including the Woof files used. The pet specs for all packages are listed in repo.txt.
ANOTHER EDIT: I'm really sorry if anyone feels ignored. I've been working for a week and had no spare time, I'm pretty sure I missed some replies. I'm trying to fix bugs in 006 and make it a bug-free 005, as much as possible. Let's hope keyboard layouts and CUPS work, after all we use the time-tested xorgwizard from Woof and the templates from Lupu, which worked.
01micko: your JWM uses /usr/etc instead of /etc, I'll make a new JWM probably.

Iguleder don't forget the gtkmoz symlink and .mrxvtrc

Added /root/.mrxvtrc and gtkmoz is already there, thanks
EDIT: forgot to mention, I did some nice hack. Lupu runs the first-run wizard from xwin if I remember right, but I want to use the original Woof xwin so I can't replace it with a modified version from the zzSqueeze_Utilities pet, it will always replace the Woof xwin and I'll have to md5 it for each dpup release to make sure there are no changes in the Woof xwin.
I moved the first-run wizard to /root/Startup and added "rm /root/Startup/first-run.sh" to the end of it; now we get rid of the xwin update problem AND the first-run wizard runs only once, if you restart X to install some GPU drivers on your first dpup session, it won't appear again as in Lupu.
Yummy!

it's a legacy thing , it takes about 20 seconds to compile, but the important thing.. is BIDI working???Iguleder wrote: 01micko: your JWM uses /usr/etc instead of /etc, I'll make a new JWM probably.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I made a silly script that grabs e17 from SVN that works great in lupu.. (devx and deps are needed, but not too many , it is HUGE [not compressed.. it's an SVN thing ] ) .. take a look in the 'desktop' forum in additional software. I'm sure it will work just as well in dpup, if not better . I'll test it myself later. (you need a fast connection and a capable machine .. it is compiled on the fly )
Cheers

Nope, no BiDi. JWM always had this problem, I think we should check shinobar's i18n-and-BiDi-aware JWM, he posted a 493 recently.
Anyway, I have some interesting idea for 007, as 006 is mostly a bug-fix release - lxpanel/fbpanel/bmpanel with Openbox, available as a PET or a SFS. Kinda risky

Here's a Seamonkey 2.1 alpha 3 PET I made with my freshly written Seamonkey PET maker. 16 MB compared to the 14 MB of 2.0.8.
Made from the official binaries, nothing fancy, very snappy on 005.

I could be wrong about his intention, but if I'm right, his execution was perfect.
Lobster, here is a picture of a cool kid:

Debian's abiword in 006 has that bug where it crashes when you click Edit -> Preferences so I compiled this one:
http://puppy.b0x.me/software/squeeze/abiword/
NOTE: I didn't compile the plugins pet those are the ones that came with debian's abiword so I'm not sure if they are going to work with this pet but spellchecking works in main pet and I'm not really sure what those other plugins do anyway or if someone needs them. Main pet seems stable and working okay so please test.

I still have the issue in 006.
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).
Consult Wikka
Use peppyy's puppysearch

Re: no console in 004 and in 006
I believe gjuhasz found the source of this problem on page 18 of this thread:Béèm wrote:Never got an answer to this.Béèm wrote:Annoying not to have a console in 004 (nor rxvt, urxvt, mrxvt)

I changed locale from nl.BE@euro to nl.BE and that made mrxvt available. This doesn't mean I like it...can't even paste into it.mrxvt
It disappears only if specific country localization is set (Desktop menu > chooselocale).
In my case, mrxvt became unavailable as soon as I set hu_HU. Fortunately, when I checked UTF-8 encoding, mrxvt returned.
Karl, maybe you selected de_DE@euro. In this case, mrxvt disappears, too. Tick UTF-8 or select de_DE.

I do apologise if the invisible owl in a hat was not to your liking . . .
(Probably should have mentioned it was invisible)
I am glad others have provided the more conventional and identical visible owl in a hat + cool kid.
It was indeed a thank you. Normal service is now resumed.
