Also I almost forgot about this plugin I usually include, It does excellent batch work for images.

also Barry when I bootup my volume is muted and when I install packages like the ones I just posted the puppy package manager doesn't check for deps, First I installed gimp, but it didn't say I was missing gegl or babl, same with when I installed gegl it didn't mention babl, but I did specify in the pet.specs file.

Thank you,01micko wrote:My nVidia card only wants to use the vesa driver, this has been the case right throughout Wary testing. The Video Driver Upgrade Wizard does not suggest that there is a suitable driver for my card, 8400 GS, (as distinct from zigbert's 8400 M GS).. and if I try the 195 driver in the repo it indeed fails. (did in previous kernels too).
So, I compiled 260.19.12, the latest nvidia driver and uploaded, post here
Cheers

I compiled the latest Inkscape statically, So that It would be smaller and less of pain to install, I had to fix a couple of errors but it looks like its running well without issues.

No problem It took most of the day but the community as a whole will benefit from the creativeness of what we call puppy by using these apps

ALSA fix improved
Barry,
I have augmented my ALSA file fix with an improved version of rc.services, that should run alsa.conf before waiting for the firmware and modeswitching to finish. It runs all scripts starting with a number before doing the "protect --fwcomplete" that waits for those possibly long-running functions.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 490#465490
This provides the opportunity to make other scripts run earlier, such as cups and the rc.xxx scripts -- anything that does not involve firmware tarballs or mode switching. There might better a better way to name the scripts, but this implementation works with the current scheme.

pfix=ram is not a totally new start
I have two wary personal save files and decided to make a new start by using <F2> and puppy pfix=ram
But start-up now never gets beyond this:
I copied the above by hand, so expect a few typing mistakes.
Why is it even looking for a sfs file on the hard drive when I've used pfix=ram??
I'm still using wary 094 (it takes 9 hrs to download each version).
I checked the md5sum of the CD and it is OK. I've rebooted a few times, no diff.
I'm wary puzzled. Any ideas?
But start-up now never gets beyond this:
Code: Select all
Loading drivers needed to access disk drivers ... done
Searching for Puppy files in computer disk drives .....
Searching deeper, sub-sub-folders in partitions ...... wary_094.sfs not
found. Dropping out to initial-ramdisk console .....
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
#ls
ATADRIVES init pup_ro2 pup_ro8 sys
DISTRO_SPECS lib pup_ro3 pup_ro9 tmp
README.txt mnt pup_ro4 pup_rw var
bin proc pup_ro5 pup_?
dev pup_new pup_ro6 root
etc pup_ro1 pup_ro7 sbin
I copied the above by hand, so expect a few typing mistakes.

It won't take you 9 hours if you already have the 094 .iso file. The website has a .delta file, which is 27MB. You use the Xdelta difference manager to reconstruct the 096 .iso -- see menu "Utility -> Xdelta file difference manager"

One other issue I have with Wary 0.9.6 is that my dvd burner would go missing after a few hours, I couldn't mount it, find it etc. It happened 3 times, each time I had to reboot live/clean again.

@zigbert:
I tested Peasyscan with an Epson Workforce 320 printer-scanner and it worked fine. This unit uses Epson's own epkowa SANE backend while your Epson 2400 uses either the epson or epson2 built-in backend.
Peasyscan has now been tested successfully with four major third-party backends - HP, Canon, Brother and Epson. However, your situation suggests that some (older?) scanners don't work with xscanimage. So they won't be compatible with Peasysan.

review of wary096
Review of Wary 096 ... it's fast and stable.
I was successful with my wacom bamboo tablet using
mtpaint 3.34.57 and an sfs of gimp 2.6.8
By the way once the Barry's wacom driver is installed
the user can use the installed app 'xsetwacom'
to do further tweaking.
I recommend that people try Wary right click for
extra convienence
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-c0d18e18.html
It will open up videos full screen and put
various extra right click options such as
Edit with mtpaint
Edit with mhwaveedit
Edit with Abiword
Add to Pmusic playlist
and open various archives
It also has a small application written by Tazoc
for extracting pet archives
__________________________________________
I also like to change the hard disk icons on the desktop
I can do this easily enough with the following pet
http://www.datafilehost.com/get.php?file=d5501e4f
What it does is make changes to the smooth-color icon set.
You must go to the menu to desktop icon switcher and
choose smooth-color icons again
A restart of X is not necessary.

mwave modem tarball corrected and updated
Barry,
The mwave initialization script has had a typo for some time, now, although probably not noticed by users. The attached package contains the corrected tarball for inclusion in the next wary version. In addition, the tarball pinstall script now uses /etc/modprobe.d/modem_mwave.conf instead of the old modprobe.conf. I also simplified the edit of the country code, to use the "sed -i" technique.
BTW, be sure you use the latest version of the modem_update...-2 package, for woof. If you have one of the first three downloads of it, please re-download it to get the cleaned up version. Thanks.

Viewnior doesn't accept filenames with non-english chars as ÆØÅ. Puppy uses Viewnior 0.6 while 1.0 is released. I don't know if this would help us non-english humans. I install gpicview which works perfectly

Geany is still not able to execute a script like it did in the old days. The solution is still simple.
Edit the file: /root/.config/geany.conf
[tools]
make_cmd=
term_cmd=/usr/bin/xterm -e bash -c
Also linewrapping could be default ON (my very humble personal opinion)
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=01953
Wrapping on or off.... my preference is off
