Also I almost forgot about this plugin I usually include, It does excellent batch work for images.

also Barry when I bootup my volume is muted and when I install packages like the ones I just posted the puppy package manager doesn't check for deps, First I installed gimp, but it didn't say I was missing gegl or babl, same with when I installed gegl it didn't mention babl, but I did specify in the pet.specs file.

The Video Driver Upgrade Wizard does not suggest that there is a suitable driver for my card, 8400 GS, (as distinct from zigbert's 8400 M GS).. and if I try the 195 driver in the repo it indeed fails. (did in previous kernels too).

So, I compiled 260.19.12, the latest nvidia driver and uploaded, post here

Cheers
Thank you,

I compiled the latest Inkscape statically, So that It would be smaller and less of pain to install, I had to fix a couple of errors but it looks like its running well without issues.

Ps I might upload all the statically made MM Devs so that other MM apps might be easily statically built

No problem It took most of the day but the community as a whole will benefit from the creativeness of what we call puppy by using these apps :)

ALSA fix improved

#68 Post by rerwin »

Barry,
I have augmented my ALSA file fix with an improved version of rc.services, that should run alsa.conf before waiting for the firmware and modeswitching to finish. It runs all scripts starting with a number before doing the "protect --fwcomplete" that waits for those possibly long-running functions.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 490#465490

This provides the opportunity to make other scripts run earlier, such as cups and the rc.xxx scripts -- anything that does not involve firmware tarballs or mode switching. There might better a better way to name the scripts, but this implementation works with the current scheme.

I uploaded the static MM files 20MB pet http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/Wary/So ... Dev-w5.pet
It contains static versions for compiling only !!, Its easier to have one static package for package builders than trying to find and install mutliple packages.
cairomm-1.8.6
glibmm-2.24.2
gsl-1.9
gtkmm-2.20.1

pfix=ram is not a totally new start

#70 Post by Shep »

I have two wary personal save files and decided to make a new start by using <F2> and puppy pfix=ram
But start-up now never gets beyond this:

Code: Select all

Loading drivers needed to access disk drivers   ... done
Searching for Puppy files in computer disk drives .....
    Searching deeper, sub-sub-folders in partitions ...... wary_094.sfs not
found. Dropping out to initial-ramdisk console .....
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
#ls
ATADRIVES           init        pup_ro2       pup_ro8         sys
DISTRO_SPECS        lib         pup_ro3       pup_ro9         tmp
README.txt          mnt         pup_ro4       pup_rw          var
bin                 proc        pup_ro5       pup_? 
dev                 pup_new     pup_ro6       root
etc                 pup_ro1     pup_ro7       sbin

I copied the above by hand, so expect a few typing mistakes.
Why is it even looking for a sfs file on the hard drive when I've used pfix=ram??

I'm still using wary 094 (it takes 9 hrs to download each version).
I checked the md5sum of the CD and it is OK. I've rebooted a few times, no diff.

I'm wary puzzled. :wink: Any ideas?

Please upgrade. This thread is for 096 feedback.

It won't take you 9 hours if you already have the 094 .iso file. The website has a .delta file, which is 27MB. You use the Xdelta difference manager to reconstruct the 096 .iso -- see menu "Utility -> Xdelta file difference manager"

One other issue I have with Wary 0.9.6 is that my dvd burner would go missing after a few hours, I couldn't mount it, find it etc. It happened 3 times, each time I had to reboot live/clean again.

@zigbert:

I tested Peasyscan with an Epson Workforce 320 printer-scanner and it worked fine. This unit uses Epson's own epkowa SANE backend while your Epson 2400 uses either the epson or epson2 built-in backend.

Peasyscan has now been tested successfully with four major third-party backends - HP, Canon, Brother and Epson. However, your situation suggests that some (older?) scanners don't work with xscanimage. So they won't be compatible with Peasysan.

review of wary096

#74 Post by don570 »

Review of Wary 096 ... it's fast and stable.

I was successful with my wacom bamboo tablet using
mtpaint 3.34.57 and an sfs of gimp 2.6.8

By the way once the Barry's wacom driver is installed
the user can use the installed app 'xsetwacom'
to do further tweaking.

I recommend that people try Wary right click for
extra convienence
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-c0d18e18.html

It will open up videos full screen and put
various extra right click options such as

Edit with mtpaint
Edit with mhwaveedit
Edit with Abiword
Add to Pmusic playlist
and open various archives
It also has a small application written by Tazoc
for extracting pet archives

__________________________________________

I also like to change the hard disk icons on the desktop

I can do this easily enough with the following pet
http://www.datafilehost.com/get.php?file=d5501e4f

What it does is make changes to the smooth-color icon set.
You must go to the menu to desktop icon switcher and
choose smooth-color icons again

A restart of X is not necessary.

mwave modem tarball corrected and updated

#76 Post by rerwin »

Barry,
The mwave initialization script has had a typo for some time, now, although probably not noticed by users. The attached package contains the corrected tarball for inclusion in the next wary version. In addition, the tarball pinstall script now uses /etc/modprobe.d/modem_mwave.conf instead of the old modprobe.conf. I also simplified the edit of the country code, to use the "sed -i" technique.

BTW, be sure you use the latest version of the modem_update...-2 package, for woof. If you have one of the first three downloads of it, please re-download it to get the cleaned up version. Thanks.
Richard

Guys, already I have major improvements since 096, so I am aiming for 097 to be released about 2-3 days from now.

Viewnior doesn't accept filenames with non-english chars as ÆØÅ. Puppy uses Viewnior 0.6 while 1.0 is released. I don't know if this would help us non-english humans. I install gpicview which works perfectly

Geany is still not able to execute a script like it did in the old days. The solution is still simple.
Edit the file: /root/.config/geany.conf

[tools]
make_cmd=
term_cmd=/usr/bin/xterm -e bash -c

Also linewrapping could be default ON (my very humble personal opinion)

Wrapping on or off.... my preference is off :)
