Puppy Squeeze 009 Development

[DaveS]

Fresh frugal install w/new save file of 005 on the old P3 test box. Nothing really to report that hasn't already been mentioned.Except that 005 isn't detecting my onboard Intel audio.Sound worked fine in 004.

Same here James. Try this: menu>multimedia>retrovol sound mixer.
Set master volume, and speaker volume, and beep to max.

Hope you don't mind me asking - but I can't find the way to connect to a remote filesystem using Samba in this version of Puppy...

Has this function been removed deliberately? It's a bit of a show stopper for me....

Hope its there but I've just not found it.

Thanks
Peter

'play' desktop icon does not bring up media player
here is why

Code: Select all

# gxine
gxine: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

New Abiword from Debian, fixes the smudged Abiword issue

- yep seems OK on my system
Not an extensive Abiword user though

- Xbindkeys with the printscreen key functioning, needs testing

worked OK for me - press print screen opens screenshot in mtpaint - good stuff

- The desktop "calc" icon is now titled "sheet"
yeah but it is a calculator . . . help

Perfectly at home with new icons and wallpaper
many thanks

Congratulations on your new job at Macpup . . .
or is it MacDonalds?

This one compiles ok, but is same as the older one, 1.1, on this machine - numlock actually works but the led indicator is reversed. It is that way on wary07 too.

For gxine:

from p15

In the terminal:
Code:
cd /usr/lib
for i in `ls seamonkey-2.0.8/*.so`; do ln -s $i .; done

I can drop playlists (*.pls and *.asx, but not *.m3u) on to play icon on desktop and it works. I think thats normal for gxine.

Just got back from work, I'm exhausted from making all those burgers

Thanks, Lobster

Gotta go to my trumpet life in an hour from now and I'm back at 21:00 ... I also told my friends I might come to some club with them but I think I'll pass ... tommorow I have another shift but I'll try to work on dpup when I'm home

peebee: there's Gigolo for that. I never used Samba or Windows shares myself so I can't test this area, need someone like you to help here

I think it might be a good idea to add commands to set sound channels like Front, PCM and Master to 100% on first boot ... what do you think? Should be useful for some old cards.

Also, need to fix CUPS ... need playdayz or someone else with experience in this field. I also need repots about the X keyboard layouts/touchpad fix, does it work?

Currently, 006 has:
- The CUPS authentication fix
- The Seamonkey/gxine symlinks
- xcompmgr
- wbar
- new JWM

Tomorrow I want to take a look at the templates made by playdayz and beat the stubborn CUPS.

Tremendous idea.....the lack of sound is one of the most frequently asked questions in the IRC channel.

Hi Iguleder

I looked at Gigolo but as far as I can see it doesn't support the Samba protocols - only something called "GVfs Unix Device (file)"????

Every other Puppy has Samba support built-in so I was disappointed not to find it in the new dpup.....

Can I add pnethood somehow?

Very happy to help test this out.

Cheers

Hi Iguleder.
Just installed 005 - it seems the touchpad fix is not working for me here
i have to add:

Code: Select all

Option "TapButton1" "1"
	Option "SpecialScrollAreaRight" "true"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "true"

the the bottom of selection "imputdevice" in xorg.conf to get touchpad tap and scrolling to work.

I did notice some one else posted a reply who has the same laptop, they never mentioned anything about touch pad so maybe it is something at my end?
If it is any help here is my xorg files>

That took care of the problem. Thanks.

This worked to fix Gxine:

Install libmozjs2d in PPM.
then terminal:
ln -s /usr/lib/libmozjs.so.2d /usr/lib/libmozjs.so

libs are already there in puppy you just needed symlinks like iguleder said, I might make a pet for that fix so you don't wait for 006 and deal with symlinks

I set up the symlinks a while back dejan, but then gxine segfaults. Ho Hum

[dejan555]

Try this pet, DaveS if it still segfaults can you try with pfix=ram, on fresh boot without savefile.

Who likes WeeChat, here are 0.3.3 pets compiled on 005:

Installed the pet, Gxine is now working good here.Thanks.

Does anyone know where the takbar clipboard icon for parcellite is located?

[dejan555]

Pidgin is here:

http://puppy.b0x.me/software/squeeze/pidgin/

Compiled with:

Code: Select all

./configure --build=i486-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-libtool-lock --disable-nls --disable-gstreamer --disable-vv --disable-farsight --enable-gnutls=yes --enable-trayicon-compat --disable-doxygen --disable-meanwhile --disable-nm --disable-tcl --disable-tk --disable-startup-notification

I understand there are more important issues but there is definitely something amiss in Gxine.
I have several playlists that I use to open my radio streams which have all worked in other Puppy's including Squeeze 004.
When I click on one in normal circumstances it opens Gxine and plays the stream.If not,then I only need to open the playlist from Gxine and double click.
This is not happening in 005 and I see this'No demuxer found - stream format not recognized'.
The only way I can get it to play is by cut and paste url from the website into'Open MRL'in Gxine.

BootManager configure bootup --> Startup services:
in dpup-004 - "laptop mode" service is on by default
in dpup-005 - THERE IS NO "laptop mode" ever

What went wrong?

thanks
