Is Edupup DEAD?

Just went to the Edupup site to read about it and possibly download it, but the How To Install page is blank, so is How To Customise, and the download file size is 0B. It was updated on 17 Nov 2007.

So has Edupup died? Or just off line for maintenance?

Thanks to Caneri and Lobster,

and all the other guys for interesting in Edupup. No, Edupup is not dead. The web site is a bit dated but rigth now I'm working on it and its mirrors to upload the new version 2.0 which I'm working on, too.

This new version will be Puppy 3.01 based and will have this new features:

1. Last version of TuxMath, really nice. Recompiled in Puppy
2. Last version of TuxType2. Recompiled in Puppy
3. TuxPaint and its wonderful stamps (GSlapt package)
4. Childsplay and Python 2.5. Very, very nice
5. Just studing a bit of parental control, and having some trouble to decide if using privoxy, polipo or willow proxy, or simply locking this sites with list of forbidden url to insert into hosts site. All these methods are not satisfying me

, but we will see.
6. I installed also GSlapt to keep simple for the newbie the chance to install some other softwares, but with the warning that puppy file system is different and some trouble can happens.
7. New wallpapers for kids
8. A little jingle when it starts, but I still have to find it, so if someone can give me a direction please do it

9. Until now, the distro is about 135 mb, a good dimension. Gcompris, another great suite, in its 8.4.2 version is become very big so I was thinking to prodive it as added package and not to put it in the iso file, which would increase too much hardware requirements.
I had some trouble to recompile it, but today I was lighted and maybe I could just solve to have binary that works for GCompris.
10. Thanks to Caneri Edupup 2.0 will have also another very good mirror to download packages and iso distro
11. Edupup website is also in english: http://www.pieroni.biz/edupup/index.php?lng=en
12. To make a badder sensation to the users, recently I had also troubles to renew my domain, www.edupup.org and it was off for about one week or more

13. In my spare time I'm working on a gui package manager software to point my mirrors and dotpups.de and pet_packages mirror. It should be fast because it is a compiled one without dependencies at all, just X, short and fast, at least this is my idea

.

Please stay tuned

Hi guys and Caneri

,

Edupup project is still alive even if in a standby situation from a while. I had a problem on my previous server that crashed and I never got back my backup, so I have to rebuild all.

You can download edupup also from here: http://www.giovelug.org/index.php?lng=e ... indice&c=1

Sorry for any inconvenience !

Antonio

angarato · #12 Post by **angarato** » Sat 15 Nov 2008, 19:56

caneri, i get a missing page at the link you've provided

slapshot, at your link i see the download for Edupup 2.00 beta, but it's a 0 bytes file

steevieb works for me, i'm downloading now... i'll give feedback after as soon as i try it.

Thanks guys.

@angarato

I put back the ISO on giovelug.org and further GCompris 8.4.2 package. Edupup website is still offline, I hope I can restore it soon. Sorry for any inconvenience.

I found Edupup2 and got it running. I want it for my daughter. She is five and loved it. But I wanted to add gcompris to it. It now works except for the reading parts which need sound is there a known solution?

Thanx to all who work on Puppy. I've kept a copy since 2.15CE. And If i could connect it to the Net Windows would go.

slapshot · #16 Post by **slapshot** » Sun 14 Dec 2008, 08:02

@Schism

Yes, there is a solution for the audio. With gslapt try to install gstreamer and all the library needed for the sound, such as liboil etc.. Try and launch gcompris from a console and see evental errors to have a list of missing libraries.

If someone would kindly post the links to all pets required to get all parts of Gcompris running (Including sound and admin), I will gladly make and host a complete pet and sfs with all dependencies and put it up on the web desktop

Hi ya Antonio,

Please update the link in your signature to here

http://puppylinux.ca/tpp/edupup/

We are no longer supporting the old links from 6 months ago when we rebuilt the directories on .ca

It's been a long time since we talked..I hope all is well with you.

Best,
Eric

Hi Eric,

thank you for your reply ! Well, it was a very difficult year for me and my family. I will have a way to tell you sooner or later.

I believe I will work again on Edupup after Christmas vacation, just to include this new puppy 4.x version that it seems very nice. I just installed PuppyOne 411 on my new shining Acer Aspire One 150X and it works really well and fast as usually

.

See you soon.

Antonio

Greetings,

I just tried Edupup 2.0 so my kids could have puppy linux that is filtered. It booted OK and worked on the internet with the filter but when I went to install it, it did not see any of my hard drives?

I have 2 HD's One with Archlinux installed on it using the jfs file system, and the other HD formated to ext2 for storage with puppy 4.1.2 frugal installed to it.

When I tried the installer it showed the drive letters but then when I hit which drive to install it to it gave me a gparted button to push saying I had "no partitions" on either of the hard drives.
So I hit the gparted button to see what I got for output and gparted said I have no drives detected.

I just used gparted the other day on the newest official Puppy release to format one of the drives to install Puppy 4.1.2, and it worked fine, so it seems to be an isolated problem to this puplet and maybe this older puppy version it is based on?
But it seems strange with an older version of puppy and an older kernal used in Edupup since it is an 11 year old converted win98 computer with two older harddrives and a 450mhz Pentium 3 that I am trying to install it to.
I would think an older kernel would work better with an older machine?

Any ideas on why Edupup does not "see" my hard drives.
Oh yea, I also did try using pmount and it does not see my hard drives either only my CD and floppy show up.
Very strange.

**Update since I posted this yesterday, I tried it on my lap top and it did see my drives and installed on the much newer laptop, so it has something to do with the old desktop computer I use for Linux.
I have the same behavior with "Buddapup" so I think it has to do with the older kernels and puppy versions that the pups are compiled from since I haven't had the same problem with the newest official version of Puppy.
I am going to try a few more things and update you.

1/8/09 update
No change. I tried running in ram since I have puppy 4.1.2 on here but EduPup just does not show my hard drives.
I again tried pmount multiple times as well as gparted while edupup is running in ram and still the only drives it shows are the CD and floppy.
I am going to try putting a dvd-rw drive in this computer so the kids can use the multi-boot dvd's which may be better anyway since they will each have their own customized Edupup saved on the discs.

Great work on Edupup BTW, it works great with the filtering and games for my kids.

Blessings,
Tom
