@Jemimah I'm rebuilding Python3. This time I have done it with gdbm installed, which I had overlooked.
EDIT: it still failed to build module _dbm.
Any ideas about how to solve this?
Am I right in thinking that I don't need to worry about ossmediadev? I read on Stackoverflow that Linux uses ALSA instead of this?

Re: Python 3.1.4 with Pygame .pet
Stripping the libs removes unneeded debugging symbols - sometimes this saves a huge amount of space.antiloquax wrote:
Glad that one was okay. Sorry, but what do you mean by "strip the libs"?
The the default new2dir command strips executables, but not libs - I'm not sure why it's this way. I suppose there's some circumstances which stripping libs breaks things but I've never seen it. I have fixed the new2dir in saluki to do it automatically.
To find and strip libs manually I do this inside the package directory:
Code: Select all
find . -name "*.so*" -exec strip --strip-unneeded {} \;
Code: Select all
file <filename>

Re: Saluki 14 - wine, icewm, compiz
I haven't tested icewm yet. If it supports the --replace option, it should be easy to run it with xfce.Dromeno wrote:I am testing the new Saluki 14 on my AsusEEE 1215n
I like what I see! Some small things:
Wine 1.4 does not automatically install all its missing libs yet
I am not sure if I want to make the transition from icewm to xfce. Is there a version of icewm recommended for this puplet?
OTOH - xfce is able to work with compiz right? I know it is pure eye candy but it looks nice. What do I need to install to get compiz (rotating desktop cube!) working in Saluki?
Compiz should work, just install the compiz pet.
Thanks for the feedback.106498 wrote:Just took saluki for a test drive on my toshiba nb200 (standard atom 10 inch netbook). All hardware appears to work! Some initial thoughts:
- Splash screens that pop up are a bit obtrusive, especially listing all the partitions etc.
- The mouse is enormous
- starting frisbee from the control panel, managed to open up two instances. Both running in the tray. This should be avoided I think.
- configuring wireless in frisbee, informed me that it failed. Seconds later got an IP assigned and everything works.
- can't change mouse speed / accelleration either using gui or xset. Both don't work.
- I created a desktop icon (using right mouse click, send to > desktop, I think??) to a script, which runs the opera browser. (/home/opera-11.blah/opera). Clicking it on the desktop does nothing. The script does work if clicked directly.
- managing of mounting/unmounting: Would be nice if could open each partition in file manager from the tray once mounted.
I have to say, my compliments on a nice looking puppy! I think good choice of default desktop environment (although personally prefer rox/icewm). May try out the remaster script later.
-Thomas
It's probably better to create desktop icons by dragging them to the desktop from the menu. Xfdesktop has some issue with scripts, but it seems to work well with .desktop files.

luki 14
Just want to say i'm really liking this dog!! Thanks so much for everyones time (massive) and effort.
I love playing with puppy!!

I couldn't get it to build either. Skip it for now unless there's a specific reason you need it. If you do need it, let me know and I'll see if I can fix it.antiloquax wrote:@Jemimah I'm rebuilding Python3. This time I have done it with gdbm installed, which I had overlooked.

Yeah, don't worry about OSS either.
Re: Saluki 14 - wine, icewm, compiz
Just did this myself. Get icewm from here.Dromeno wrote: I am not sure if I want to make the transition from icewm to xfce. Is there a version of icewm recommended for this puplet?
Then open the "session and startup" from the control panel. Under autostart add icewm, using the command "icewm --replace". No quote marks! Name it whatever you want.
Now, if you disable the icewm taskbar, you have a very elegant combination in the xfce panel with icewm window manager. Probably want some nice themes though!! If you want more help setting this up just ask (by default this icewm package is a little odd as far as setup goes). Maybe start a new thread for that.
Jemimah: I like the custom builder! I just deleted the adrive file and am now adding whatever I like. Very nice.
Also, when installing icewm the menu doesn't quite work. (It's pretty close though). The system category isn't added for one.
Thanks for the great work!

That is a mistake that other pupplets did before (except slacko I believe that stays very close to woof). They wait too long to publicly "branch and patch" so by the time they are "ready" they have diverged too much to merge. This "privacy" has also not given the "chance" to BK to maybe pick an choose "appealing" changes, so merging might become easier latter. He does look at the public code anyway, so this should not be out of question
I think though that the real problem might be that actually pupplets are not developed within a versioning system to begin with! If they had I believe things would be simpler.
This is the fundamental culture change that puppy developers need, I think.
BTW, "good enough" is maybe the wrong approach when it comes to development. Is too late in the game and takes all the fun and drive away from the prospective contributors

Never experienced this before.
Booted into 014 from DVD - it is relatively pristine.
No sound.
Annoying but tried various options (that had already been set). I got sound but it was slowed down to maybe half speed. Very bizarre. Not sure why. Eventually got normal sound after reboots but then the mouse cursor slowed down and I had to abandon Saluki altogether . . .

- cheap jibe: difficult to see anything with a black screen! Newcomers GO to Mint, do not pass GO, do not collect the golden prize.Trying to see this thru the eyes of a user new to Linux
One has the greatest admiration and respect for what Jemimah is doing. But this whole issue of HW compat.& black-screening, synch-ing, etc., although difficult, tedious and unexciting for coders, imagine what it's like for mere users like YT. Dialogue failure between users & coders has set back this entire field by years since inception. Why do users like Mint and Android? Because they work o.o.b. - no screen fiddling, no codecs to install, no Flashplayer to select, ad.inf. Like all worthwhile endeavours in science, 2.5yrs of purgatory, late nights, pain and anguish, then - bingo - everything slots into place and you're another Brian Cox TV phenomenon! At least, that's the kind of truth I had to disillusion generations of my past students with, who eventually went on to live normal, happy, successful and enlightened lives.
To whom it may concern,
