But the sound is so low-volume I can hardly hear it.
And so I won't post a link to it in my Puppy thread at the PC-Guide forums.

http://www.tuxgarage.com/2012/05/instal ... eiric.htmlA PPA is available for installing GIMP 2.8 in Ubuntu Precise and Oneiric. But notice what is currently stated on its page, specifically regarding Oneiric:
This PPA could break your installed OS. There are dependency issues for Oneiric Ocelot (11.10). Only use it if you know what you do! There should be no problems in Precise Pangolin (12.04).
Unfortunately, as of now, there is no easy way to install GIMP 2.8 in older versions of Ubuntu. Mainly because GIMP 2.8 depends on many new underlying libraries which can't be found in the repositories of those older Ubuntu versions. Thus, you would first need to compile those libraries and then go for compiling GIMP itself, and that would obviously require a lot of work. However, it is theoretically possible if some of the enthusiasts decides to port GIMP 2.8 to those older versions of Ubuntu.
I don't understand. I just installed LupuPlusLibre528.005-2 and the GIMP 2.6.10 .pets, program and help, and the help works fine without this gvfs-backends .pet. Huh?playdayz wrote:Help in GIMP
This pet (gvfs_backends) will enable the Help in GIMP in the 005 versions of Lucid and 3HD (in which the Help in other programs is working). AFAIK that is all it will do, enable the Help in GIMP. The version of GIMP used must have the Help present--this sfs does http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/di ... -Lucid.sfs Also the 2.6.10 pets in PPM--you need both because the Help is in a separate pet.
Thanks shinobar. That would be the preferred solution.gimp-2.6.11-squeeze-3.sfs
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/pup5/
Based on the PET Iguleder compiled.
Works on Luci/Lupu/LupQ/Slacko/Dpup. Does not work on Wary/Racy.
See the setting to enable help.

You need to Edit >> Preferences >> Help System
User manual set to 'Use a locally installed copy',
Help browser to use: 'Web browser', and
Web browser to use: 'defaultbrowser %s'.
By this I think shinobar means that a menu item could be created and added to GIMP packages that contained the link which contains the GIMP Help in 12 languages (http://docs.gimp.org/). That seems like a good idea to me too--I will make a pet of that later today.Add link to online manuals for available 12 languages.
I have not tested with the legacy, but tested with grub4dos. Works the rootnoverify.bigpup wrote:For Frugal install:
The Grub example entry uses the rootnoverify command. This does not work, because the drive will not be mounted.
I am not sure good or not, but it works because Grub4dos is upper compatible with the legacy.bigpup wrote:For full install:
There is no good example entry for a Grub4dos entry.
Only good for Grub entry.
I have always used rootnoverify for frugal installs with legacy Grub.... hundreds of installs with no problems.shinobar wrote:I have not tested with the legacy, but tested with grub4dos. Works the rootnoverify.bigpup wrote:For Frugal install:

I can confirm that the identical menu entry will work for both legacy Grub and Grub4dos as well.shinobar wrote:I am not sure good or not, but it works because Grub4dos is upper compatible with the legacy.bigpup wrote:For full install:

Thanks shinobar. I will post the NLS and BuiltinHelp pets I mentioned for people who might prefer those. I guess you figured out that I used Debian wheezy (testing) 2.6.12--I should have mentioned that.I have made gimp-2.6.12-Lucid-1.sfs.
