ttuuxxx; Could you take the best working and most complete version you have and make an SFS file of it?
It`d go a long way to making it easy to use and not filling up the Save file.

In fact SFS file versions of any even semi large packages is a good idea.
The less in the Save file the better, no space problems and you don`t loose it with a corrupt Save file.

P.S. This link is dead ( I don`t know if it`s temporary or not...).

There seems to be no software on puppylinux.ca...not sure why but I did used to use it as a handy source...not sure if mirrored on ibiblio.

Its not that big :D ...but I remaster puppy with wine in it cause to me its relatively small....stuff like kde and openoffice warrent the sfs exclusion zone.

I also have a big stash of applications running from outside of the pup_save

mikeb; True, there is a point when an app. is big enough that the
overhead of the union is something that should be considered.
Also the big apps. have a tendency to be harder to get working.
This goes for regular SFS files and especially "non-union" SFS files.

Q; Could you post a list of the "big stash of applications" that run outside the Save?
jrb and I are interested in apps. setup to run non-unioned.
Like the Skype SFS file I made works unioned or non-unioned.
I want to make a collection of apps. in non-union SFS files, and then
combine the common apps. into larger SFS files, like this:
Utility apps., Office apps., Media apps., Game apps., Internet apps., etc...
Not to have all of them in the SFS file, just a good one of each for the set.

mikeb; Looks like all of those should be made into SFS files.
You say that they all run not in the Save file, you mean from a single dir.?
Like I made the Skype SFS file from a Skype dir. with a working copy in it.

If each apps. in a dir., it`s easy to make SFS files from each of the items.
An "AppName.desktop" file is needed for each menu item for each app.
And a list of read-write config. files that need to be copied for each app.
If you need help or don`t want to do it, let me know and I`ll get help.

Well this lot are on an ext2 partition which happens to be the dev_save one.
Some apps are self contained with maybe a launch script to cd or sometimes an added library path. Others have parts symlinked into puppy.
They are in a folder called apps so really its like program files in windows. Total size is around ~1.6GB which would be one big puppy but that does include 2 OO versions. Kde desktop and Office are as sfs files elsewhere....a kit of parts....the puppy core is around 80MB with wine, firefox and other basic apps...ie if run pfix=ram there is still a basic useable system there.

I read about your dynamic linking in idea so it appears that the sfs is within the union....good idea.

As for turning these into sfs files there would the version problem...up to now I use an older version of mksquashfs so any puppy can use them but this would be of no use to the latest releases.

regards

mike

mikeb; Yep, I suggested the SFS file names have "version ranges" in them.
In a dir. named for each version range (compatible SFS to Puppy versions).
The version of Squash isn`t so important, the new format is all that really matters.

I`m mainly thinking of Dpup, have you tried it? I really liked it for functionality.
It`s fairly complete except for Puppy`s legacy problems, and it needs an installer.
Finally a Puppy that`s ment to use the enormous Debian package repositories.

Do you know how to make SFS files? ( It`s easy of course ) Let me know...
The SDLxxx.pet link is still down, can you make an SFS of avidemux-qt version?
Please include all the packages: SDL, jack, QT4, and the avidemux-qt version.
Make it in a dir. so it`ll work non-unioned (hopefully) and it`ll be complete.

I`m thinking the SFS files you have are being unioned when you use them.
OO and KDE probably won`t work non-unioned without a great deal of effort.
But everything that`s in dirs. should be completely non-union useable.

Actually, it looks like the file is just missing from the directory -- though other files are there. You can see them if you just go to pl.ca and navigate to them through the front door.

There's a

http://www.puppylinux.ca/tpp/ttuuxxx/pr ... -smpeg.pet but I don't know if it's a replacement.

Ttuuxxx may have accidentally removed the original. If you PM him I'm sure he'll fix it, since he links to it here.

Hi vtpup,sunburnt,

The server that held most of the files has been down for over a month now and so far no reply from the hosting company. There are 28,000 files on that drive and many are not on the current working server at .ca and .asia.

They are either out of business or in jail I fear, but I'm still trying to sort this out. Hopefully ttuuxxx will have the file backed up...Eric

Caneri; You are the web master of: http://puppylinux.ca/ , aren`t you?
Asia seems to be OK, but just so happens that it doesn`t have that file.
Just my dumb luck acting up again...

Thanks vtpup; SDL_mixer-1.2.8-i386-mod-smpeg.pet is a mixer that needs the other file also.
Hopefully mikeb will make a no-union SFS file out of all the packages needed...
If he gets it to work he can offer it to jrb for ChoicePup.

The PHPBB tag buttons rely on Javascript, I believe. Do you have that disabled in Firefox? (NoScript usually disables it, unless you whitelist the site.) Or, you could manually add the tags. :D

Thanks vtpup; I got the file and avidemux seems to be working well.
Now I just need to spend some time learning how to use it.

Any suggestions for VOB to Xvid video, and keep the AC3 audio?

I made and then load-run the project but it doesn`t start processing it.
Can`t see any way to make it go...

load the first vob and it should chain the rest...then select xvid for vid and leave audio as is (I think) and export as avi...a bit of a guess as I have had avi with ac3 sound.

Bear with me on the sfs...it uses some common dependancies that I added to the main pup so I need to determine what a standard puppy needs....saying that I did make a slax module of it a while ago so that should be about right since your method does not need the added library path.

mike

edit I remembered that I have this version setup to run in puppy 2 so I can have avidemuxes flv handling from version 2.4 by using older QT libs. It may make more sense to make an sfs from his original pets....

mikeb; gposil is recompiling the new ffmpeg with all newer codecs for Dpup.
It may be best to look toward the future and work with Dpup, many thumbs up.
I still run Puppy400 because it`s all that works on my older PC, but Dpup ran great!
Just the "load SFS to ram no matter what" problem I pointed out, common to all Pups.
The SFS file took up 60% of the ram (256MB) so Firefox couldn`t even run! SAD...
I hack patched the problem in MediaPup but I`d like to see it fixed for all Puppies.

Note: I have a post in the Programming forum about FFmpeg.
Lets talk there so we don`t mess ttuuxxx`s thread up more than we have.

Avidemux creates really bad audio video sync, up to 1 minute off!
I searched the web for a solution but there doesn`t seem to be anything.
It appears that avidemux can`t handle some types of video properly.
I`m certainly not going to play "guess the audio delay" with every one.

Does anyone know about this and have a real solution for it?

sunburnt, bummer :( . I haven't had the problem, but have done limited work with the program.

But that would be an app problem, if you haven't already, try searching and posting here:
http://avidemux.org/admForum/
http://forum.videohelp.com/

Also, since you are running dpup, why don't you try loading precompiled .debs for other Linux editors? Seems everybody has at least a .deb for their app. Go to the actual development home sites for these.

Also, have you tried your favorite Win editor in Wine 1.1.32? It may run. Amazing what Wine can do these days. Wine is also available as a .deb at WineHq.

Hmmm .....

That's odd ... I've been using Avidemux 2.4x before (and avidemux 2.51 for the past couple of months) and have had no issues with any avi or mp4 container ... Sync issues only encountered with matroska container only with AAC but easily rectified ...

I've done DVD, SVCD, mkv, avi, mp4 and all was a breeze ... Perhaps you're using an inappropriate encoding for a container ?

What's the container that you're using ?
