PUPPY 4.2 BETA NOTES

Still no printing for me. I set up my printer (Brother HL-5140 monochrome laser, HL-1240 driver) just as I did in Puppy 4.1.1, where printing works. With TextMaker 2002, I got an error message saying "lpr: Error - no default destination available." I looked in CUPS for how to set my printer as the default destination--no luck! With WISH Supernotepad, which also invokes lpr, nothing happened. With AbiWord, my printer was shown, but the status was "paused" although CUPS said it was "Idle." No luck. With SeaMonkey, the printer was correctly shown as "CUPS/Brother HL5140"--but nothing happened. I looked in /var/spool/cups and no jobs were shown. Back to the drawing board again!

Tcl 8.5.6 "clock" bug (apparently resulting from excessive zeal in cutting Tcl package down) not fixed; the "clock" command still doesn't work, and apps that invoke it still won't run. But, on the bright side, I installed my tcl- and tk-8.5.5-runtime .PETs with no problem; then "clock" worked and apps ran.

No thunderbolts, I trust, have struck you down from on high for daring to produce a Puppy of slightly more than 100 MB total size. I would strongly suggest that you bite the approximately 2-MB bullet and put in Tcl/Tk with just about everything except demos and man pages. That way everything will be sure to work, and it will still be only about half as big as the 4-MB bullet you were previously thinking of biting. :D

IceWM taskbar still too cluttered. The "Shutdown" menu item should be changed to "Shutdown/Restart," and all sub-menu options should appear when the mouse is over the item, just as they do for "Desktop," "System," and all the other main menu items. New users are likely to be confused and even dismayed if they install packages and are told they have to restart the window manager to see a new menu item, but it isn't at all obvious how they're supposed to restart the window manager. "Shutdown" sounds pretty scary and not very relevant to merely restarting a window manager. Worse yet, after clicking Shutdown, and then the Advanced tab, I don't find "Restart IceWM" anywhere among the options! This is a change for the worse from 4.1.x, and really needs to be fixed.

A few great IceWM themes should be added. I suggest at least QuanX, ShineySingle, GoldenMood, Xtreme-Animated.

Thanks for trashing the Emacs GTK+ theme; the Raleigh theme is also ugly and not needed.

Please don't have xpad come up automatically.

By the way . . . you said you were going to get me the 4.2 versions of packages.txt and 0pkgs_db before the first beta. How about before the second beta, then? Like, um, maybe right about now? :D

Hi david could you please try the above tcl/tk patch, It fixes the high scores error/problem in yahtzee, I was wondering how much of the errors does it fix:) hopefully all and save the full package space. But if not I was thinking, would it cause any problems if I edited /root/ztcltk/tcl8.5.6-i386/usr/lib/tcl8.5/tzdata
and removed most of countries ?)
Same with most of the files in /root/ztcltk/tcl8.5.6-i386/usr/lib/tcl8.5/encoding
could maybe be editited.
As Icewm goes WhoDo missed the latest package and I haven't tested yet the printing to see if anything is still missing or needed.
Thanks for your help

mtPaint compilation

#43 Post by wjaguar »

People, if you want the smallest - and fastest - mtPaint binary, pass the "release" option to ./configure when compiling it.

This disables debug code GTK+ would otherwise add, and enables handpicked optimizations (depending on GCC version) which are guaranteed to have a positive effect.

Just another boring zigbert-comment about adding alsaplayer+gstreamer.

Yet another proposal to add new apps to the iso instead of
- improving already existing bytes.
- find something better that may replace the original.

Alsaplayer is a very nice audioplayer, - no doubt. Like said here before, it both streams and plays audio-CD (gxine does also play audio-CD). But when you want to manage a large music collection, Alsaplayer fails.

What Gxine doesn't do is streaming (well, not in Pupy 4.2, but it streams partly in Puppy 4.12). Gxine also misses features to manage the large collection. That's why Pmusic was created. - To fill a gap in Puppy. If we had a player that pleased us, we could trash both Pmusic and Gxine. Ending up with 3 players doesn't sound as the best solution for me.

Back to my point. Puppy supports streaming. Open a terminal and execute the following line:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i "http://rockfun24.de:9001" -f au - | aplay
Last summer I made Pradio, which used this ffmpeg code-format. This is either a plugin to Pmusic or a standalone program. It has been on my wait-list since, waiting for a better ffmpeg package. Since ffmpeg also is capable to record desktop (video snapshot), I thought this had to come.

Image


This could have been the time to attack the tcl/tk in Puppy 4.2, since the argumentation would have been similar. But I'll leave it. - Irritated opponents would soon leave me totally alone on this forum. But, I think it was a longterm strategic choice of Barry to skip tcl/tk before Puppy 4.

Hi Sigmund where Pradio fails, is that it doesn't support Shoutcast Plugins, or Xiph plugins. you have to manually add your stations, and somewhat know what your doing, where as Streamtuner thats included in the Alsaplayer package does do and very well at that, It has thousands of stations at you figure tips, updated everytime you start the player up, If a station is closed, and the link is removed, it will no longer be listed, thats another feature that Pradio doesn't have, Pradio is good if you have a handful of personal stations you like to listen to and manage,you can also do that with streamtuner also:)
But it is nowhere near the shear mass as streamtuner.
I did not say to get rid of Pmusic either, But I do think that Pmusic has a way to go like to play cd's Gxine if you been reading takes around 15% of a cpu and for that reason is terrible for listening to cd's, or online audio streams, It will kill laptop batteries quickly if used for that.
Plus it plays online streams very smooth, and cd's also, Streamtuner+Alsa package is very sweet deal, Plus Pmusic no offense does not shut off, Unless you use process, And right now PMusic is buggy, when its opened my mouse is dragging all over the place, I shut pmusic down and its still doing it, I Open Pprocess and Kill pmusic and my mouse is perfect. whats up with that, i have 11gigs of memory left and 98% of my cpu left, run PMusic and its like I have 0% left.

Oh ya, have you really tried the package I made sigmund??
I've made Streamtuner a default library ./root/My-Music in there you just make all the directories you like and streamtuner has a local tab, if you click on that it will play each song that you select, kind of not the best way, butttttttttt if Alsaplayer does have a excellent playlist editor m3u , You can add as many song as you like, how I do it is in My-Music, I make all different folders for different music , Rock, ALternative,Celtic,Wife,Kids etc then I make a m3u playlist for each with Alsaplayer then I simply open Alsaplayer select the playlist.m3u for which folder I want and then I have choice with Alsaplayer either shuffle or playlist loop and sit back and enjoy :)

this is what the local folder on streamtuner looks like, Like I said alsa is better for list, but live radio streams linux has nothing as light and equipped as Streamtuner for thousands of updated by the minute online streams . And Alsaplayer playlist can work in the folder very well.
Maybe download the package and try it :) both packages combined in one pet is 466kb. The previous released streamtuner was 601kb pet and didn't look as good as this one:) plus the last alsaplayer 375kb, my version is 1/2 that size and plays way better streams due to alsaplayes low cpu usage against Gxine the cpu hungry monster :shock: One plays streams smooth and the other is choppy,

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... h&id=14958
Alsaplayer still needs the mime's but I'll add them tomorrow , Also with AlsaPlayer you can make as many m3u list or import them as you like.

Oh by the way it isn't gstreamer its streamtuner :) 2 different things completely :)

Now Sigmund what we could use, is a replacement for Gxine, YOur the man who could do it, probably pretty easy once I explain it also.
Tonight I played a DVD with VLC media player. So what you say eh?
well lets have a look at it, First I took my 7.8MB pet and ripped out the wxgtk libs, then I ripped out the GUI. Packaged it and it was a 3.2MB power pet package. No modules,drivers removed 100% workable vlc via command line.
Then I went to
http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch04.html where they have alot of the command lines.
So I installed the pet and typed in a command line
./vlc /mnt/sr0
and there it was a dvd playing, it was a bit gittery because I didn't load any modules, which you can with vlc command line, but think about it, a gtk interface with a drag and drop section and find file selector. play pause and yes fullscreen
vlc --fullscreen /mnt/sr0
Anyways with your know how, you could take pmusic add 'pep' Puppy Entertainment Player, <---I like the name better than say PMultimedia player.
Well Its an Idea anyways here's the VLC commandline version.
http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/ttuuxxx/ ... ndline.pet
If you do it that would be great, If not maybe another year from now I might know enough code to pull something like that off.
ttuuxxx
ps below is a screenshot of vlc commandline version playing via rxvt and no gui. :)

Preliminary Testing Results

#47 Post by ecomoney »

Ive been doing some testing of this version. of the main problems I came across is with gxine. Double clicking on an mp3 now automatically opens gxine, but each time it opens it re-runs the setup wizards.

Full screen flash video now works. The new the seamonkey is excellent, especially now it features the standard shortcut keys and Ttuxxx's new more conventional button layout. However the flash version is still at 9.0.48.0 which is now very old and will not work with many popular video websites. I thought I saw somewhere on the spec that version 10 would be used? From my tests this seems to be a lot faster on older hardware, crashes a lot less and will be compatible with most websites for a lot longer.

The "chat" feature that links into the puppy help chatroom is an excellent idea. However "chat" to most end-users weve encounted means Instant Messaging, of the yahoo or msn variety. Perhaps it should be renamed "Support" or "Live Support".

Instant messaging is a very important function of a modern computer system to an end-user, and puppy 4.2ce does not seem to have an inbuilt application for it any more. I have suggested before that the menu entry for /usr/local/bin/meeboview be re-introduced. This is a simple web-based messenger service that connects to msn, yahoo, jabber etc, and even now facebook chat. It also means that if any of the protocols change (as MSN has a habit of doing) then the meebo website will respond automatically, wheras an inbuilt application wil not.

the "gdmin/rsync" utility program (which I assume is for doing backups) seems to crash upon entering the name of a new backup.

On a more aesthetic level, the shortcut icon for the gnumeric application looks like a calculator, and is labelled "calc", its not obvious that its a spreadsheet application. There is also still a shortcut arrow on the "install" desktop shortcut. On the top launch bar also seems to be missing some icons.

I notice this is the first "beta" of 4.2 . Im kicking myself that I didint ask for a very small feature that will make a huge difference to puppies useability. Many people have mentioned that puppy's file structure in very alien to new linux users. the /root folder contains many links to various important folders. If it were to also to contain a symlink in a frugal install (by far the most common type) to the "outside world", i.e. the host disk that the pup_save.2fs file was on, it would make it a lot easier for the first time puppy use to find their treasured files and folders already on their computer. This link would also be visible automatically in the various applications save dialogs. The alternative is the end user hunting aout for the /initrd/mnt/dev save, /mnt/home, /initrd/mnt/dev_ro2 or wherever this most important location ends up being accessible from in the overall filestructure.

Many thanks to everyone for their work so far on this project, I am very much looking forward to seeing the end result.

If you insist--but trash Gxine first, OK? I like Pmusic! Easy to play music, easy to save and read playlists, no bloat, and just all-around easy to use.
I think it was a longterm strategic choice of Barry to skip tcl/tk before Puppy 4.
The longer-term the choice was, the more out of date it now is. :D It may have made some sense to dump Tcl/Tk, I guess, back when you couldn't very well combine the ease of Tcl/Tk scripting with the good looks of GTK+--but now you can. Not only can you get real, instant GTK+ 2.0 widgets with Gnocl, you can also come up with Tk 8.5 themes that look a whole lot like, say, the Clearlooks GTK2 themes. The next step in reconciling Tk and GTK2, I think, will be to come up with some Clearlooks themes that can fully match the splendid array of color schemes you can easily get with Tk 8.5.

It fixes the "clock" bug! That's great! Thanks!! You can now merge it with the existing Tcl 8.5.6 .PET that went into Beta1 and submit the revised package for Beta2, right?
Would it cause any problems if I edited /root/ztcltk/tcl8.5.6-i386/usr/lib/tcl8.5/tzdata

Same with most of the files in /root/ztcltk/tcl8.5.6-i386/usr/lib/tcl8.5/encoding
could maybe be edit[e]d.
It would depend on whether anyone needed to use those encodings, or the data for those countries. It would probably be possible (if necessary) to cut out that stuff and put it into an auxiliary package for Puppy Unleashed, in case anyone did need to use them. But maybe it won't be necessary--at least, all of my Tcl/Tk apps will now run on Puppy 4.2 without my fairly fat 8.5.5-runtime .PETs, or your slightly fatter 8.5.6 ones, installed!
As Icewm goes WhoDo missed the latest package and I haven't tested yet the printing to see if anything is still missing or needed.
Well, I have, and something is. I still can't print, and I can't even set my printer as the default printer (see above, page 3). If there's anything you can do about it, thanks again and again in advance!

Hello back Jeff. Your idea is a good one, but not for my simple bash scripts with gtkdialog. Since it lacks support of drag'n drop and sliders, it would never be a 1.class Entertainment Player (good name :) ). I think we have pushed gtkdialog rather hard already. But, who knows. Suddenly someone finds it attractive to continue the development of gtkdialog, or start on another gtk-bash-gui lib. On the other hand, I never plays an Audio-CD or listen to radio, so it wouldn't rise on my priority list. I have ripped all my LPs and CDs, and Pmusic is special made for my purpose. - Yeah, I'm happy with it. You're right that it uses more cpu than both Alsaplayer and Xmms, but it still runs without stutter on my 10 year old laptop (Pentium II). I don't expect anything more.

pa_mcclamrock
I don't know tcl, but I'm sure it is great. I see it gives small programs, and fast programs. The only question I ask myself is: If I add 100kb, - What do I get in return? There is no problem adding 2 or 4 mb, if we get something back. I just can't see what tcl gives to Puppy 4.2, that have a value of any mb. BUT, if you or someone else creates great code that the kennels WISH :), and could save some space, that would be just terrific. What about a xine/mplayer/vcl gui ..... think about it, a gtk interface with a drag and drop section and find file selector. play pause and yes fullscreen :lol: :lol: :lol: Sorry ttuuxxx, couldn't help it

i also vote for meeboview( it still sits invisibly in puppy 4.1.2 :D)!
I use it now for a couple of weeks ( AOL started a war against russian and CIS users that use other clients than native icq client)
So meebo.com is a good solution!

The 4.2 Beta is very stable so far except there is no support for usb printers. Tried to install ttuuxxx's Cupsusb.pet without success.

Looking forward to the RC. This may be the best puppy yet.

Hi guys,
Just reporting on load_sfs in 420b1. It has disappeared from the right-clicks menu. This is a simple fix. Just symlink from /usr/sbin/load_sfs to /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith/.application_x-squashfs-image/

There is however a bigger problem, not just with load_sfs but also with loading .sfs files at boot with boot manager. Many of the files which get loaded are retained in the pup_save.2fs file at next boot, even if it is chosen not to mount the .sfs file again. All the .desktop files stay, changes to puppypin stay, the operating files that get used (swriter, scalc) stay. For OO3.0.sfs this amounts to an extra 60MB in the pup_save file. And I only created one short document!

This has changed from 420a4. There, at bootup, a simple fixmenus (easily added to .xinitrc) and restart jwm returned everything to the premount condition and no room was taken up in the pup_save. I've no idea what has changed but for those who need to use a small pup_save this could be a killer.

hi

Think something is seriously wrong with this 1st beta.

'cos my old laptops are so old that they don't have CD burners,
only CD players,
I would normally download an ISO, do an md5sum check,
make a copy of original iso to work with, put it in a NewDir (420b1),
mount & open up the ISO to extract the contents to (420b1),
unmount ISO, edit menu.lst, reboot and normally - BINGO - all works.

This time, after setup etc all seemed ok and normal so I saved to Pup_save.

Reboot, in particular file-update, took a lot longer than normal and was
accompanied with some excess processor and fan activity - finally
up comes desktop - but no wigdets displayed(only clock), but worse still - no desktop icons or menu items work. This is in Xorg
(home icon & drive icons seem ok)
So - reboot and try Vesa - same thing.
Started from scratch again. Same result - (all previous 4.2x worked).

Tried IceWm - worse still - no menu icons at all and most entry
desciptions (the txt) are missing.

Would this have something to do with the 25mb folder that
ttuuxxx mentioned earlier.

Running 4.2b1 now (pfix=ram) so until a save is made all seems to
function.

Hope this is not a major muddle to undo.

As always - very best regards - Ray

WOAAAAHHHH :shock:

Of course! The fixmenus script generates links in /root/my-applications/bin. I never thought of it, but it will of course be stored in the Pupsave file. :oops: If making these as symlinks instead, the problem should be solved. The icons will now show the ugly symlink arrow, so it is not 100%.......

Modem and override fix for 4.2

#57 Post by rerwin »

WhoDo,
From our brief PM conversation I felt you are open to adding my "neglected modem" fix prepared for 4.1.2. It activates Intel, Agere and mwave modems, unusable since the release of 4.1. But it did not make it into the 4.2 beta. Perhaps it is too late in the schedule.

To make easy the acceptance of the fix, I attach a tgz archive with the fix and difference files, so you can assess what I have done. But if you consider 4.2 as "frozen", I can provide a dotpet after the final is released.

The forum postings describing the puppy 4.1.2 fix are:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 797#266797

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 523#270523

Thanks for considering this.
Richard

I made the change in fixmenus and it has definitely improved the situation. All the links in /root/my-applications/bin are now symbolic links. The used operating files are gone. Now only 8MB's in pup_save. However, the .desktop files are still there in /usr/share/applications so the menu cannot be cleared.

Question: are hard links actual copies or only treated as copies?

WhoDo Can you please either post the links to the tcl/tk packages your using or upload them on here so I can modify the tcl package. So that it works properly, I made a patch and it fixes the broken clock parts, I just don't have the originals, I'm using a version I compiled of the same release model.

Zigbert,
As a test I rebooted, renamed your fixmenus, copied in the fixmenus from 420a4, and deleted the remnant .desktops from OO3.0.sfs. I then loaded OO3.0.sfs, opened OOwriter, created a document, saved and rebooted.

When puppy came back I typed "fixmenus" in a console and retarted jwm. All menu references to OO were gone. Of course the .desktop files were gone as well. I've no idea why the .desktop files would stick around with your /usr/sbin/fixmenus but, sadly, that seems to be the case.
