Fotopup

Here's a link to a live CD that contains digital photographic workflow tools that include amongst others, Darktable, UFRAW, and the Gimp.

This live CD is a remaster of a version of a community-based version of Puppy Linux- Tahrpup64 that I've named Fotopup. Use the link to save the fotopup.iso file to your computer and burn this file as an image to CD or DVD or even to a USB stick. You can now use this to boot your PC/laptop. When it has booted through to the desktop, you'll find the photo items in the graphics section of the start menu button.

This could be very useful to anyone who doesn't want to bother with commercial software such as Adobe Lightroom etc. This latest stable version of Darktable (1.6.9) can easily stand up against Lightroom.

If you exit the system, you can do so without touching or interfering with your current OS or file system - a great standby in case you ever need it. Feed back welcome!

Hmmm, mega seems to dislike my browser and won't let me in...

@Greengeek

Tut tut, that's not very friendly of Mega, is it now?

I did have some trouble formatting the URL to the file in the Murga forum. Have another go at it, being careful not to include the url hashtags at either end of the url itself.

Here it is again:

If you have any more trouble, let me know please, and I'll try something else. Works for me here in Vienna.

They don't like my ancient browser (FF17ESR) and there doesn't seem any way to bypass the upgrade notice and step through to the actual file. so I will try other browsers later tonight.

Hi Tronkel,
thanks for this pup. It came at a good time for me as I am scanning and converting a big bunch of photos and transparencies that my father accumulated during his lifetime. Some of them are so faded but using Fotopup and GIMP I have learned how to improve them considerably.

Also - using fotopup made me realise that my Toshiba laptop is actually a 64 bit cpu!! I don't know how I previously missed that rather important fact.

cheers!

@greengeek

I'm pleased that this is of help. I'll try to get the time to streamline this Fotopup a bit more efficiently by implementing it as a Woof-CE build and also enhance it a bit with Rawtherapee plus a whole bunch of Darktable styles ready to go out of the box. It'll mean that the ISO will be a tad bigger though - c'est la vie!

Also - using fotopup made me realise that my Toshiba laptop is actually a 64 bit cpu!!

As it happens, I had a similar experience today myself, with an old Macbook from 2007 on which I wanted to install Lubuntu. I could hardly believe that this old buddy was indeed capable of running a 64 bit distro.

2007? That long ago? 64 bit? I must really be getting old now

@ally, @puppus-dogfellow

Many thanks to both of you for hosting Fotopup. It's a enormous help.

Hi

Very interesting

Is a list of added applications somewhere (I am downloading, it is a bit slow and have to wait to see myself, but it is also sometimes better to know what the matter is!)

Are they all from Original trusty tahr depot from Ubuntu or are older ones also in the iso?

tronkel · #11 Post by **tronkel** » Mon 28 Dec 2015, 11:19

@oui

This Tahrpup 64-based remaster simply contains all of the original packages from Tahrpup64 plus the latest stable version of Darktable (1.6.9). The version of Darktable provided by the Tahrpup repos is back at 1.4 something. The included Gimp 2.8 though, comes directly from the Tahrpup repo.

When I get some spare time, I'll rebuild this from Woof-CE and also include Rawtherapee and some extra Darktable styles.

Good show, tronkel!

Very interesting! Thank you tronkel!

When I get some spare time, I'll rebuild this from Woof-CE and also include Rawtherapee and some extra Darktable styles.

I would recommand here to include the depositories for Ubuntu 16.04 in Woof-CE and to try it directly with that perhaps last 32/64 bit LTS version of Ubuntu (as it is possible that Ubuntu never more after that will distribute a 32 bit Ubuntu): Fotopup would even become usable for years because the newest LTS. You have 5 little months to be ready as soon 16.04 become stable

I'm no Ubuntu expert, but I've read somewhere on the Ubuntu blogs, that 16.04 is going to have fundamental changes made to the underlying system - amongst other things, the X graphical interface. This could impact the stability of 16.04 immediately after its release - nothing new for Ubuntu LTS releases though. A period of grace will therefore be required before basing any derivatives on this release - in order to just be sure that the Pup itself is stable.

This is months away from now though, so to bridge the time gap in the meantime, I think I'll just do another remaster to include Rawtherapee and the extra Darktable styles. I'll mull this over though.

Gimp and darktable ?
Ah, ISO downloaded without a message, Surprise

Tahrpup 6.5 is the fastest Dsitro !

Hi Tronkel, I have been having a quick look at running Viber in Puppy and it needs a 64bit pup so I gave it a try in Fotopup - it gives xcb errors related to QT5 and I'm pretty lost so I thought I would ask if you know anything about QT5 in a 64bit pup. Is it pre-installed in Fotopup? cheers

ps: I tried the 64 bit deb from here

Well... was it necessary to release an specific iso for darktable and Gimp added, that is the question.Nevertheles your Puppy is working as it should, nothing to trash, in the contrary you could add some more graphics apps. .
Our french Puppies are artistic yet, but not shown as an evidence in their name (Triton and ToOpPy)

Hi Tronkel - I am trying to run a 32bit utility in fotopup but the system can't see it. Do I need the 32bit compatibility libs? If so how do I get them into fotopup please? cheers

Hello tronkel.

Sorry in advance for the silly question:

What window manager does your FotoPup use? Your usual favorite, icewm?
