Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

[eztuxer]

I'm happy and proud to announce the release of my own version of Pupitup Linux as a portable Music Lab based on Puppy 4.1.2
Happy owner of an Acer Aspire One (AAO) netbook, I needed some fast & efficient OS that would support the new kind of hardware this "mini laptop" is fitted with. (Wifi, Webcam, internal mic, etc...).
After much tweaking, and lots of help from the Puppy Users Community, I'm glad to release at last: "pupitup v:1.1".
It runs on a 512 MB (or larger) USB stick, or the live CD, and can be installed on HDD as well.
The live CD .iso file can be downloaded for free at:
http://pupitup.org/
Feel free to mirror !

Hope this will help promoting affordable music composing and editing, and provide AAO users with a neat alternative to the OS included as standard on the AAO, as well as expanding furthermore the use of Puppy.

Sounds like fun and I might try after failing to get
songsmith

working on Windows 7

and no sound recording working on Puppy

Does it have a drum machine?

[eztuxer]

Pupitup doesn't have yet a dedicated drum synth machine like HYDROGEN, but If you are willing to learn how to use AMUC :




Also LMMS has a Beat/Base line editor :





That's a bit easier to learn.

You can also add many soundfounts to MUSE SCORE including percussions.

Next pupitup release will have more music soft like HYDROGEN, GNUITAR, ROSEGARDEN, ARDOUR, etc... etc...

Feel free to make .pets out of the sources.

By the way, if someone could mirror the pupitup .iso at an easier hosting, cause the one I found ask to register in order to dwnld.

If found out that downing is very simple:

"Select" the file, then "rightclick" AND download.

This is what ytou find out when you are somebody who hits here and there, most of the time not knowing what I am doing, but this time it worked., even if I ended up registering for a real free account.

But even that isn't necessary.

Downloadlink works as long as you do not get confused by the message "Browser not supported" but instead hit the button "continue anyway" etc.

I have trouble connecting to your site.
Having tried a few times already, I had to post the problem.
Am I the only one having trouble? Is there any alternative way to download your puppy?

I would appreciate if anyone answer for this downloading problem.

You probably tried during week-end upgrade/maintenance by the host @ www.110mb.com

Thanks for reporting the problem.

Hi,
congratulations !
I had like to try pupitup, but I have also difficulties to download on 110mb.com. I could also have been missing something...

On 110mb and on humyo as well , I have been asked to sign up as if I ask for creating an hosting place. I do not need being hosted.
Is there a way to download pupitup without signing up?

Many thank for answering!
Charlie

Thank you for reporting problem with the website.
This hosting service worked really fine since www.pupitup.110mb.com was created on 12/18/2008.
The admins are stating they had a disk space full problem on Box 16 which hosted my site:

noticing that your release might be Belgian based?????

I was reset on the desktop.....but no change.

Thanks.................Chris.

Hi ! Chris,
Are you running it from the live CD or did you install it ?
In any case, using the mouse/keyboard wizard (menu->setup->mouse/keyboard wizard) should enable you to use other keyboard setting than latin.be .
What PC are you running it on ?

Update; somehow, my keyboard selection "belgium" got remastered in the process although I chosed the"do not customise" option.
Worse, I found out that in spite of changing it with the wizard, and /etc/keymap showed "us" after change, even restarting X or the PC didn't change a thing and it kept coming on "be latin1"... I had the same issue but the other way around with the first version of "Aspire One Puppy" :
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=35424
That's why I chosed to go for 4.1.2 instead.
Make sure you don't have an old puppy save2.sf file left on some drive when installing from CD.
The new version .iso works fine on both my AAO & old Presario laptop.

Okee dookee, here's a link to a host that doesn't require registration:

Also http://pupitup.110mb.com/ is UP & running again (they fixed it) and I updated the dwnld link
