Wary 0.9.8 (098) feedback

#201 Post by Billtoo »

Cmus is a small music player that will play mp3 and ogg files plus a
few other formats.
The number keys 1-7 show various parts of cmus with 5 being the
browser to let you navigate to your music directory and 7 which brings
up a page with all the commands.

cmus-v2.3.3-i486.pet creates an entry in the Multimedia section of the puppy
menu.

edit: If you open the console and enter "man cmus" without quotes, it will bring up more information on using cmus.

Edit: Here's the latest version: v2.3.4

Bill Geeqie seems a little large. I think I have a copy somewhere that is only about 300k.

It also doesn't run as it's missing the exiv2 lib.

This is my favourite graphics viewer.

Hi smokey01,

I compiled it in wary 098 and tested the pet in 098 but it won't run in luci 242.
It works in quirky 1.4 too.

You might find the missing lib or libs at http://packages.ubuntu.com

edit: I just tested the pet in wary 070 with the 2.6.34.1 kernel and it works in that as well so I think it will work in any version of quirky or wary.

edit: I made another pet and it is much smaller, I tested it in Wary 098 and it works.

See above post for new pet.

While elinks is a nice-looking browser, last I checked it doesn't do usenet news. (I.e., news://.... URL). This limits its usefulness (to me).

The lynx2-8-7-i486.pet works just fine in Wary098 (for my needs). If there is a later version, I'd like to hear of it.

2-8-7 is the latest, I made a pet of it in case others want to try it.

xgamma gui in xorgwizard / bc command

#209 Post by emil »

I tested the xgamma-gui in lupq511 and found it still buggy.
(it is called from the xorgwizard panel or by "xgamma-gui" from the commandline.

Anyhow, I suggest a solution and have reworked the xgamma-gui script.

I postet it on the Lupu 511 thread
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... &start=135

EDIT: There is a problem. The script which works in Lupu 511 will not work in wary. I tracked it down to the command bc. If you enter the commandline option -l (this is for loading a mathlibrary) then bc will do nothing. So most probably something is wrong here.

EDIT: I tested it in the spup which was posted by mick01 yesterday. There is the same inability to use bc -l. It seems that this is in Woof.

Something to reproduce:

in Lupq 511:

Code: Select all

echo "1+1" | bc
2

echo "1+1" | bc -l
2
echo "e(1)" | bc -l
2.7128.....
in Wary:

Code: Select all

echo "1+1"| bc
2
echo "1+1" | bc -l

echo "e(1)" | bc -l

conclusion: basic maths works but there are problems to use the library

bc bug?

#210 Post by emil »

I have played around with this

somehow the math library is included, because you can call bc in commandline mode: bc -l
then you can call all those sin, exponential, log functions.

but it won't work if you use it from the commandline in a pipe to echo ...

If the bc in wary(size 55K) is replaced by the version in lupq (size 70K) then it works.

pup_event_frontend_d

#211 Post by Karl Godt »

my former post at page 3

I want to post, that I got more into the structure of `pup_event_frontend_d`

and I discovered, that the daemon-loop doesn't look for /tmp/pup_event_icon_change_flag .

It is a little confusing, that some functions at /sbin/pup_event_fronend_d and /etc/rc.d/functions4puppy4 are resembling each other .

For now I've done some new adjustments to /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d, which seem to work fine :

Code: Select all

#v407 poll to see if a ls120 or zip floppy diskette inserted...
 for ONEFLOPPY in $DRVS_FLOPPY
 do
  [ "$ONEFLOPPY" = "" ] && continue #precaution
  probe_floppy_func $ONEFLOPPY
 done
 if test -f /tmp/pup_event_icon_change_flag ; then
 ICONWIPE=`cat /tmp/pup_event_icon_change_flag` 
  if [ "$ICONWIPE" = "ICONWIPE" ] ; then
  Floppy=`mut drivelist | grep -o fd[0-9]`
  Partitions=` probepart -s | grep -v none | grep -v swap | cut -f 1 -d '|' | cut -f 3 -d '/'`
  [ "$Floppy" != "" ] && for i in $Floppy; do icon_remove_func $i ; done; i=0
  [ "$Partitions" != "" ] && for i in $Partitions; do icon_remove_func $i; done ; i=0
  sleep 1
  for i in $Floppy; do icon_unmounted_func $i ; done; i=0
  for i in $Partitions; do icon_unmounted_func $i; done ; i=0
  Mounted=`mount | grep mnt | cut -f 1 -d " " | cut -f 3 -d '/'`
  for i in $Mounted; do icon_mounted_func $i; done; i=0
  Rootdevice=`df | grep -w '/' | tr -s " " | cut -f 1 -d " " | cut -f 3 -d '/'`
  icon_mounted_func $Rootdevice 
  sync
  rm -f /tmp/pup_event_icon_change_flag
  fi
 fi
done #2 second loop.
