CPU Frequency Scaling Tool

#82 Post by shinobar »

The 'CPU Frequency Scaling Tool' on lupq-006 does not work.

/usr/share/applications/cpu_freq.desktop
wrong:

Code: Select all

Exec=/usr/local/cpu-freq/cpu_freq
correct:

Code: Select all

Exec=/usr/local/cpu-freq/cpu_freq -start
after editing cpu_freq.desktop,
Menu > Shutdown > Refresh Desktop

apologize for your inconvenience.

The drive icons on the desktop may not be refreshed properly with 'Refresh Desktop' in some case.

Type on the terminal

chmod +x /sbin/clean_desk_icons
apologize for your inconvenience.

Testing the Lupq-006 iso.

I am using FireFox 4.03 but it gives an error when trying to do Flash.
Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-mW9NzfFzzL: Connection refused)
I was lazy and kept the pupsave file from 004 and it did an automatic update and it seems to work well. I went to the news site for Lucid Puppy and updated both FireFox to 4.x and Opera to the latest version.

Could that explain that error message and that it never start playing the file?


What is obvious is that graphics on html pages like this forum is that if one only have 500MB RAM then the rendering of the page split up to unreadable if one use the far right bar to scroll by dragging it down.

So one have to use the Page Down button instead or clear the page using F5 to refresh it.

I am lazy today so have not tested Wine and Spotfy or Flashplayer or something.

I will test BBC and CNN and youtube video later.

I only have max looking at pictures of cars. ;)

You mean one can have max when doing html?

I never thought of doing that. I am back in Q1.0 now and have to go to bed. If I do remember I can test next day.

FireFox error message (libORBit)

You can use the firefox to browse local and internet files even you have got such error message.
I am not sure why it happens but the issue comes from the version of libORBit.
The links shoud be:

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/libORBit-2.so -> libORBit-2.so.0.1.0
/usr/lib/libORBit-2.so.0 -> libORBit-2.so.0.1.0
/usr/lib/libORBitCosNaming-2.so -> libORBitCosNaming-2.so.0.1.0
/usr/lib/libORBitCosNaming-2.so.0 -> libORBitCosNaming-2.so.0.1.0
/usr/lib/libORBit-imodule-2.so -> libORBit-imodule-2.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libORBit-imodule-2.so.0 -> libORBit-imodule-2.so.0.0.0
Correct links if they were wrong, the error shall be fixed.

P.S.
Note that lupq does not contain Adobe Flash Player. You need to install the libflashplayer PET available from here.

Thanks seems to have cleared up and Flash plays too and no graphic problems anymore.

I like that one can enter a directory without having to wait for it to be indexed.

But I must have done something wrong because I don't have the Browser icon.

There is a Chose Default Browser in the tray but no icon on the Desktop.

So I need to either use that chose again or go into Menu Internet Firefox.

Would be cool to have the FF icon directly on the Desktop linked to starting that app.

Hungarian language pack

#89 Post by s-kami »

Hello !

At first congratulation for your great job on localizing and making Quickset editions.

I made a hungarian language pack for lupq-006.
Here it isftp://puppylinux.hu/puppylinux/localiza ... ack-02.pet

Only the icewm is my problem, won't display correctly the menu items but in my SevenPuppy07 shows nice.

What to do ?

Szia, s-kami!
i like to express my respect to you and the hungarian community for the effort of translating puppies. i have sympathy with you because our languages japanese and magyal may have the same root from mongolian.

I am now working on a new system of translating desktop, hopefully i can offer it soon, in couple of days. The iceWM issue may be discussed on the new platform.

There is another topic for these matter. See you there next time.
Köszönöm, és viszlát.

Both Lupu-510 and LupQ-006 has mhWaveEdit 1.4.16.
Will you teach me why Mhwaveedit 1.3.20?

version correction

#93 Post by don570 »

Sorry. I slipped up. I should have written a 4 for the 3.

________________________________________________________

By the way have you ever considered distributing lupq
as a tarball rather than a ISO , since you want the ISO to
be very small you could distribute the ISO , Opera and
Read me files in various languages all together as one tarball package.

UTF-8 encoding selection on some locale

#95 Post by shinobar »

The countrywizard on LupQ-006 and older does not show the dialog choosing UTF-8 encoding or not in some locale, for example hu_HU.
Use 'more...' from the combobox, or install countrywizard-0.7.pet.
You need not have to install the pet if you have no problem in use

Ghostscript font issue - a solusion

#96 Post by shinobar »

This issue exists in both Lucid Puppy, LupQ/Lupu.
You can find samples of PDF and PS files in '/usr/share/examples/ps-pdf'.
'Acrobat.pdf' is readable but 'colorcit.ps' cannot.

Install gsfonts-8.11-lup.pet from here. It should solve the PDF/PS display and printing issue.

This solusion can be tentative because the file is too large. Fullset of gsfonts from Debian squeeze is 4.8MB after installed.
Next step is how to cut down...

EDIT on 31 Aug 2010:

Fontmap-8.11-lupu-1.pet should be the answer for the cutdown'ed.

Ghostscript font issue and Fontmap

#98 Post by shinobar »

Thanks for testing.
The key issue is the Fontmap for hinting.
The '/usr/share/default/Type1/Fontmap' is just a renamed one of the '/etc/ghostscript/fontmap.d/10gsfonts.conf' from the sqweeze gsfonts package.
I think we can arrange the Fontmap for our font set of cut down version.

I dropped the Fontmap file from your gsfonts PET into Lupu and changed the paths from "type1/gsfonts" to "default/Type1". I tested a few PDFs and they printed correctly.

There are still references in Fontmap to non-existent fonts that will need to be changed.
