Hi Bill, I also compiled Xine-Ui and I didn't need to compile ffmpeg,libxine, nothing at all, just the Ui, anyways then I changed and compressed the theme, I changed the splash screen, I ditched the mimes, because they aren't needed, we already have mimes for the defaultmediaplayer etc. I ditched the sample video and replaced it with a system to puppy's video examples, I also changed the icons for better and smaller ones including some system links and made a .desktop for it.
It really does reduce the overall size and looks better

I was compiling libxine when I got an error about ffmpeg so I just downloaded the latest and compiled that first, anyhow, xine is a great application for watching dvd movies.ttuuxxx wrote:Hi Bill, I also compiled Xine-Ui and I didn't need to compile ffmpeg,libxine, nothing at all, just the Ui, anyways then I changed and compressed the theme, I changed the splash screen, I ditched the mimes, because they aren't needed, we already have mimes for the defaultmediaplayer etc. I ditched the sample video and replaced it with a system to puppy's video examples, I also changed the icons for better and smaller ones including some system links and made a .desktop for it.

You sure are good at reducing the size of applications, I just used the option to do exe,dev,doc,nls when I used the new2dir script, anything else is beyond my ability at this time.
I don't know why I couldn't create a menu entry?
edit: I dragged the xine file to the desktop and gave it an icon that I found on the web.
edit: I've been playing some more
I compiled mplayer-export-snapshot.tar.bz2
and made a pet of that (approx 9mb) and I
wanted to compile smplayer but had no luck
doing that so I used the
gnome-mplayer-20100521-q1.pet and I also
had to use glibc-2.10.1-w5.pet to get the
gnome-mplayer pet to work, also needed
SDL-1.2.14-i486.pet that I made for Ltris
installed.
In the end it all works and mplayer plays
a lot more file types, mp4,m4v,mpg, etc.
along with movie dvds.
The mplayer pet is too big to attach to a
message but I made the pet from the
nightly build of mplayer if you're interested
in doing one.
Edit: I backed up my save file for 214X top5 and burned the 214X top 6 cd and I'm posting from top6 now.
All the pets that I made in top 5 work and gnome-mplayer didn't need the
glibc-2.10.1-w5.pet to work because of the change that you made to top 6.
214X is great Easy on the eyes and solid (as in stable), nice work ttuuxxx.

Hi Bill
I see why you needed to compile ffmpeg Xine-ui is a front-end to libxine, 2.14X has Gxine which is frontend to lib-xine, there is no need to compile libxine to compile Xine-ui because its already included in 2.14X but if you did compile the latest libxine, then it would call for the latest ffmpeg.

I spent all day on this Opera version, lol I made it look like Firefox, I hate the default layout and look of opera, So I change some of the code, Icons etc. and look below what it looks like, I'm actually very impressed with it, It does not come with kde or Gstreamer deps, so I removed those related libs, It runs great, but I'm not too sure what isn't functioning without those extra deps/libs. Anyways it works like a charm.sheldonisaac wrote:Is there any way that it can run under 2.14X? Ever?Opera 11.01-1190 sfs4 SFS package for Puppy Linux 5 series

Trying Opera
Good morning, ttuuxxx.ttuuxxx wrote:Hi sheldonisaac have you tried the opera pet I made? Also has anyone else tried it yet? I did spend most of the day on it, a little feedback would be nice, lol
Just waking up in cold, wet, icy Philadelpha, PA.
Your energy is amazing!
I will get the pet from your message, and try it.
Also, your fellow developer, SitHeelSpeak, is looking into it.
See around http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 904#492904
(Hope that's correct)
I'm sorry that I'm not smart enough or energetic enough to do some of this myself.
It really is not a significant problem; Opera 10.63 works OK under 214X on this computer; also I use the 10.54 version under Windows 98SE, because of some problem, supposedly fixable with a software called KernelEX (there were problems when I tried it, many months ago) or maybe by hex-editing the MS-Windows io.sys or whatever?
Not clear why loading an .sfs file at bootup is better than "installing" a .pet? Somehow I had the impression people thought it was better, which is why (I think) I did it that way on the newish netbook.

Hi sheldonisaac I never use sfs for any single files,I always use pets, sfs are great for the main iso and well that's where it ends for myself, I even convert the devx to a pet and install it that way. There is no reason at all to use a sfs for a 9MB application, larger apps like OpenOffice ya sure.
sfs compress files better than pets, around 20% +, so its a savings, but when they are only 9MB, really it doesn't matter all that much.

I'm in your version now and it's working fine I think, it couldn't play videos at cnn until I downloaded the flash plugin from adobe and replaced the one in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins with the one that I downloaded which is 2 mb larger than the one that was in there.
They still don't play great on this pc but not too bad, youtube videos play fine.

I wrote more details, but erred and lost the message.
Will get back later today.

Thanks for the response guys, as flash goes, Mozilla and Opera are 2 different browsers and well yes probably you'll need two different flash locations or just flash itself versions, from what I've seen its ran pretty good

can't get 214x-top6 to boot from frugal on amd64
Hello ttuuxxx,
I can't get 214x-top6 to boot, from a frugal install, on my Athlon64-x2. The live CD boots OK. Here is a screencap of how it fails. I have tried adding nosmp to the kernel line in menu.lst. Here is the boot line in menu.lst:
kernel /214x-top6/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd pdev1=sda3 psubdir=214x-top6 root=/dev/ram0 nosmp
Any suggestions?
***edited next day: I succeeded in booting the frugal install by moving all the Puppy files to the top directory of the boot partition and using
kernel /vmlinuz ro pmedia=atahd pdev1=hda3 root=/dev/ram0
***
I notice that this frugal install of 214x-top6 will not read a savefile created by the live CD. Just a minute, I'll tell you if it will read a savefile created by itself...yep, it will. Too bad it picks up on another savefile, which *is* inside a psubdir...see posts below.

Re: can't get 214x-top6 to boot from frugal on amd64
It looks like your save files are located in a directory folder , move them to the top level outside of any directory folder. that should help. I don't usually do frugal installs but I think I recall that older puppies didn't like directory folder saves.Sit Heel Speak wrote:Hello ttuuxxx,

As I recall, it was only when I put the Puppy files in the root of the partition that 214X booted OK.ttuuxxx wrote:This computer has an ASUS P5A motherboard and an AMD K6-2-450 processor, both from about 1999, I think.Sit Heel Speak wrote:Hello ttuuxxx,

man I wish puppy was made for more cpu types The 3 Sun Micro Systems blade 1500 I was given have sparc 64 cpu's in them, I just spent all weekend trying to find a workable Linux Os for it, most of them are confusing, like gentoo you have install/configure everything via the terminal, including networking, I managed to get about 80% of it installed, then I said ^#$%#$# lol try something else, I tried about 10 different ones, The best one was debian-6.0.0-sparc-xfce+lxde-CD-1.iso but the xfce video resolution selector was complete crap it gave me a couple of selections, but wouldn't let me change drivers or monitor freq etc, funny things like puppy's xorgwizard is 2000000% better.
It doesn't come with a synaptic so I opened a terminal and typed su then the password
and then typed apt -get install synaptic and then I selected kde full, lol 567 extra packages to install and a additional 1206MB used on the hard drive, I figured why not, I can remove xfce, OpenOffice, and a few others and probably almost recover the 1.2gb I just installed. I'll let ya know how it goes

214x on Acer Aspire One
I moved the Puppy files out of their directory to the root of the partition, and now Puppy 214X boots.sheldonisaac wrote: Haven't yet gotten it to work on the newish Acer Aspire One; maybe some of what you two have said will help.
The built-in trackpad? works OK, but the USB mouse is so jerky as to be nearly useless.
I booted with pfix=ram, and chose xorg 800x600; would that have anything to do with the mouse problem?
Thanks, Sheldon

Aha, that was the magic trick--don't put the Puppy files in a subdirectory (a psubdir).sheldonisaac wrote:...I moved the Puppy files out of their directory to the root of the partition, and now Puppy 214X boots...
Also, change sda3 to hda3 in my pdev1 parameter of the kernel line, I'd forgotten that these older kernels use hda not sda.
I now have a frugal install of 214x-top6 running. At 1600 x 1200.
However...one oddity...it will not read the savefile which was created by the live CD.
Lemme see now if it will read the savefile which I will create upon shutdown of this boot...
