Fatdog64-700 beta2 [Closed]
I am trying to get angry ip scanner, which is a Java package. I have found the rpm ( ipscan-3.3.2-1.x86_64.rpm) and deb ( ipscan_3.3.2_amd64.deb) packages for it. The packages should contain a single Java jar file.
There was a command line utility for rpm call unrpm. However, it is not included in the 700beta 2. I did "right click" on the rpm package. There was a menu entry to Open the archive with PupZip. Pupzip fails to unpack the package.
With the deb package, a right click provides no unpacking option.
I managed to unpack the deb package. It requires two unpacking processes. I first expanded the package by using pupzip from a terminal window. It expanded into 3 files, debian binary, data.tar.xz, and control.tar.gz. A right click on data.tar.xz brought a menu to install, view or expand. I tried the expand, and it worked correctly. Now to see if it works.
Yes, the jar file worked correctly. So, the problem is solved for me.
There may still be an issue for rpm. Any suggestions, I will be happy to try them out.

A couple of issues.
1. cpio is the busybox version. I thought this was changed in previous versions to the full cpio. This creates problems for people using gfxmenu when creating image files.
2. I'm not sure what has changed in the default graphics but it now eats dialog windows in particular when moving the windows near wbar.
See attached.

peasypdf
Here are some small issues I stumbled on.
Peasypdf as provided did not work for me (no output)
After installing peasypdf-3.0.noarch-1.txz and ghostscript-9.10-x86_64-1.txz from the repo, peasypdf joins pdf's ok, but when used to convert jpeg to pdf, the output pdf file is blank.
Finally, when attempting to install ghostscript from package manager, the download failed for "MD5 checksum mismatch". I had seen this before with some other packages, don't remember which...
I don't need a reply; I have worked through it (Irfanview and pdftk in Windows ), so I'm just reporting it in case it's useful. Overall, FD700 is great. Thanks.
EDIT: Took a look at peasypdf and saw it uses things from netpbm. After installing libnetpbm and netpbm debs, peasypdf works just fine. (pnmtojpeg etc. are missing in FD700b2, but were in b1)
another edit: got the debs because I wasn't able to install netpbm-advanced package from repo: MD5 mismatch again. However, if I download from distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog and then install, it installs and peasypdf works.

Multisession and use of same DVD on two different boxes no failures so far. Even used the Archive folder, nice/ more people should be made aware that you have both types of multisessions. Autoreloading and save only Archive. I do wish the Archive could be 'forced' early and NOT only at shutdown. But minor should be very little needed for me to lift code and reuse. Some merging with pBurn methods would also be nice.
Kudos to FatDog devs, my moms Win8.1 toy has perfect SuperHD playback without needed changes or manufacturer blobs compiled to match kernel. I am super jealous may actually get me one of these.

The undeb script is included. It requires dpkg from the repo. If you run the undeb script without dpkg installed it will ask you to install dpkg.There was a command line utility for rpm call unrpm. However, it is not included in the 700beta 2. I did "right click" on the rpm package. There was a menu entry to Open the archive with PupZip. Pupzip fails to unpack the package.
bsdcpio is included, not sure if that wil work for you.1. cpio is the busybox version. I thought this was changed in previous versions to the full cpio. This creates problems for people using gfxmenu when creating image files.
Quite a bit has changed, new Xorg-server, Mesa, plus more. Haven't had any problems with dialog windows being messed up. I don't use wbar, maybe it needs to be recompiled.2. I'm not sure what has changed in the default graphics but it now eats dialog windows in particular when moving the windows near wbar.
That means the download was corrupted.edit: got the debs because I wasn't able to install netpbm-advanced package from repo: MD5 mismatch again.
Thanks guys for testing it out.
Quick live test of b2......working internet,incorrect 1024x768 resolution (should be 1920x1080). Did boot and is working though.
The Nouveau driver is pretty crappy sometimes.

wvdial bug
There is a wvdial bug that is present in fatdog700 (all test versions).
This is present also in slacko64, but not in Tahr Pup
When I try to connect my laptop with Vodafone network using wvdial or FatDog dialer, I obtain this error message:
8<--------------------------------------------------
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATI
Manufacturer: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
Model: ME906E

OK
--> Modem initialized.
wvdial: utils/wvtask.cc:409: static void WvTaskMan::_stackmaster(): Assertion `magic_number == -0x123678' failed.
8<-------------------------------------------------------------------
This is randomly present in other Puppies, but I don't know if is kernel related.
Another caveat: I can't connect with Network Wizard (net-setup.sh), PC refuses connection.
In FatDog64 (6.31 version) I can connect my PC using net-wizard.sh script (that doesn't exists in 700).
With this problems i can't test adequately FatDog700 with no Internet connection.
FatDog630 works flawlessly in both situation (3g and wifi internet connection)
Thank in advance for suggestion.
Fabio.

Sandbox question
Hello,
Sandbox is really cool--hadn't looked at it much before. Now I'd like to write a script to fire up libreoffice in a sandbox. Is there a way to pass an argument so libreoffice is automatically executed in the sandbox after it starts?
Thanks
Edit: modified line 222 of rw-sandbox.sh as follows:I'm not that comfortable messing with James's scripts! but
# rw-sandbox.sh /path/libreoffice libreoffice
now seems to work.

Fatdog64 700b2 is working again for me! FD seems to be well on its way to being the best puppylinux based distro (IMO)
Just a questions though... Slap-get is installed by default, but I couldn't get it to work. I tried reinstalling it with Package Manager, but I'm still getting "command not found". Any suggestions on how to get it to work?
BTW, I still had to use Unetbootin to finalize my FD install. Has anyone else been able to use FatDog64 Installer with an external usb3 partitioned SSD (using the bios select to boot)? If so, which "bootloader option" do you use?

My wifi on my Acer one 725-0687 oddly does not work. NEVER had that problem on past FD64s. However liking the clean and quick xwindows. It almost equals the blob drivers in the video cards tested. Very wowed on my minimac and support for hfs+ builtin. can I place the boot files and point grub to them within hfs+?
We intend people to use Gslapt for the package manager. I haven't tried slap-get.Just a questions though... Slap-get is installed by default, but I couldn't get it to work.

Is this a video problem? With beta1 there was a report of video problems with an Aspire one. That one had an odd ball Intel graphics chip that's not supported by the xf86-video-intel driver.My wifi on my Acer one 725-0687 oddly does not work.
Last I read hfs+ support was not good in Linux. I wouldn't do it.can I place the boot files and point grub to them within hfs+?
my Acer wifi worked this morning, then a kernel panic.. not sure if related. (did swap memory with MacMini so reset card after panic) still testing. Maybe a delay in scan, I pressed it twice THEN it found my wifi )
This machine Acer is AMD-C70 with builtin video. Never can get it to playback nicely unless runnning win8. But the MacMini with NVedia running great. (CPU at 60%) without NV blob just fresh FD7b2, nice, also can max out at 32G RAM and compatible with RAM from ACER laptop.
Found a bluray drive for MacMini.... you know where I am heading, found out how to boot DIRECTLY into GRUB ... Ha Ha, OSX may never see life again.
EDIT: early morning after time change.. sorry for typos
double EDIT: yes HFS+ is iffy and comes up read only, ( ok by me ) I was going to have OSX copy sfs to a folder for me. And use the tiny 200M EFI part to hold grub.cfg and multisessions. freeing up flash and DVD from the boot process.

found some video files apple quicktime could play. Testing against fatdog647b2 lol you are better than Apple playback on their hardware/software. They have wierd white bloches on light to dark changes where FD plays it perfectly.
EDIT ops sound via HDMI doesn't work on this version. OK for now. The headphone jack works fine.

I have added to packages for network monitoring to the contrib section for fatdog64 version 700. Both have similar features.
The first one is "Fing". The web page is here: http://www.overlooksoft.com/fing This is a terminal application for Linux. It has ability to do scheduled monitoring and logging.
The second one is "ipscan" Its web page is here: http://angryip.org
This is a java application and requires the java run time environment, which is in the devx sfs. It does have a nice GUI.
I hope this helps.
