MyWolfe-028

[rokytnji]

Do I need to make the pianobar autologin executable GrumpyWolfe for it to Work?

As far as the Opera 11.0.1 Pet. It gave the same results as my other Opera installs. It picks up my java,Scalable Vector Graphics,Google Talk Plugin,Google Talk Plugin Video Accelerator. I can get it it pick up Xine later by adding another path. But for whatever reason it won't pick up libflashplayer.so from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or any other place I put libflashplayer.so like /root/.mozilla/firefox/plugins or even /usr/lib/opera/plugins directory. I have not tried downloading latest adobe flash and copying over libflashplayer.so yet to all above mentioned directories with your pet yet. Just have the stock preferences pointing to the libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and /user/lib/xulrunner/plugins and /usr/lib/opera/plugins (which is empty right now).

I spent so much time trying to configure opera to grab all my plugins a few days ago and got irritated that no matter where I put latest adobe downloaded flash. Opera acted like it was invisible. So since it is late here. I will give this another shot tomorrow. I will look for any replies before starting. I ask about pianobar autostart because I tried it in AntiX first in /root/.config/pianobar and it would not auto login after commenting out user and password and entering my data. Just tried the same in /root/.config/pianobar in mywolfe and same result. No auto login. Hence wondering if I should make the file executable.

Working hard here sandblasting Out house cabinets on Out house remodel for the wife. Cabinets are metal from the 1950s and have 50 years of coats of paint to strip. Kicking my butt it is. Just got the sandblaster I bought in the mail today. Gotta buy the blasting media tomorrow and see if my plan works on that project also.

Happy Trails, Rok

edit:

Code: Select all

    File: libflashplayer.so
    Version: 
    Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152

    File: xineplugin.so
    Version: 
    Xine Plugin version 1.0.2, (c) The Xine Project.

Is what Seamonkey and Firefox picks up besides the others mentioned. Weird. Huh.

[GrumpyWolfe]

I am at a loss here for I made the pet installed it and the flash worked for me no problems so not sure what gives. As for the painobar auto login all I did was place in /root/.config/painobar/config and put in my user name and password and all work like a charm. Now you have me stumped.

[rokytnji]

cool. When I get time this weekend. I will delve into this further. No worries.

Busy day today.

Edit: I bet the problem may have to do because of the way I am running MyWollfe on Pendrive maybe . Like a Live cd with a save file instead of a conventional frugal or full install. Makes a kinda convoluted sense to me any hows.

I will delve into this further

Well that did not go well. I corrupted my pupsave. Lucky for me I had a backup. The way I borked it was I booted this drive on my IBM M57 Desktop so I would have the bigger Screen to see what I was doing. Thing was I did not pick the puppy pfix=ram option so my save loaded.

I played around with the opera pet like I did with the other Operas and when I went to shut down. The save kicked in and I panicked (stupid me) and cntrl+alt+del to shut down.

Already fixed, but boy was that stupid of me. Must be tired. So any frugal install users out there. Back that baby up if trying to modify your install.

Going to leave this install as is GrumpyWolfe. I have no need to auto start pianobar or run Opera in this Pendrive. If this was a hard drive install (which may happen Later on another computer) via a cd install. I will try all this out again on a conventional install. Pendrives can be persnickety at times and this one runs good the way I have it setup. I got most of what I want working (except for tap on Acer Aspire One ZG5, No biggy though) like pianobar and 2 browsers with flash aand java going with email in Seamonkey and Pup-Shots Screenshooter and Sylpheed as external email client.

Hope to see other user feedback on what we have discussed in mywolfe. Hopefully positive feedback.

Edit: I always have something extra to say. Frisbee has been working excellent but I have installed xpupsay-1.2.1-i486.pet to make things easier in Frisbee also. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64472


Happy Trails, Rok

Well rokytnji all my installs are frugal but are on a hard dive not sure how that makes a different as for as running a program but stranger things have happen. I am glad you have it the way you like it.

Ride on

I downloaded mywolf 028 to see how it runs with my hardware, as with most puppy's it has a problem with my rt2870/rt3070sta usb wireless dongle, to fix this I added rt3070.bin to /lib/firmware, this gets it working, it's not a perfect fix as the network tray icon flashes and the received total increments by 1k every couple of seconds, there don't seem to be any downloading actually happening though, this may cause a problem if you rely on the monthly amount downloaded as it will be way out and unusable

[GrumpyWolfe]

Geoffrey thanks for your advice in this matter but I do not have BarryK's xxx patch in MyWolfe was not sure if it was yet ready so did not put it in. Was mostly afraid it was tied to much to the older kernel and there would of beee more problems that not to put it in. Will have to look more into the usb wireless dongle setup and see what is best. Have been testing Frisbee to see if there is more stability in the wireless part may see if it helps in the usb wireless dongle area. If you want to test it

Install those 3 files and see if it does as it is suppose to.

GrumpyWolfe, I have tried Frisbee, it works fine since I added the rt3070.bin accept for that annoying constant flashing problem I have, I had the same problem in fluppy also, I've tried building a new driver but can't seem to get it to compile, then I'm not that experienced when it comes to compiling, but I'm sure that someone will get it done sooner or later, in the mean time I can work my way around it, oh by the way, nice distro, I'm a NOP fan so it's familiar.

I've been play around with some of the setting and tried the .gtkrc-2.0 file that I modified in NOP, this will give transparent background for the desktop icon text, I think it looks nicer.

.gtkrc-2.0 code

Code: Select all

# dummy panel gtk settings to allow color setting in gtkrc files

style "panel"   
{
	font_name		= "DejaVu Sans 11"
}
widget_class "*Panel*" style "panel" 

# this is the new part for transparent icon text box

style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0
}
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"

style "sbstyle" 
{
}
widget_class "*Scrollbar*"         style "sbstyle"
class "*Scrollbar*"                style "sbstyle"
widget_class "*GtkScale*"          style "sbstyle"
class "*GtkScale*"                 style "sbstyle"
widget_class "*GtkProgress*"       style "sbstyle" 
class "*GtkProgress*"              style "sbstyle" 

style "menubar"   
{
}
class "*MenuBar*"	style "menubar"
widget_class "*MenuBar.*" style "menubar" 

style "theme-menu"   
{
}
class "GtkMenu"	style "theme-menu"

style "menu-item"   
{
}
widget_class "*MenuItem.*"	style "menu-item"
class "GtkMenuItem"		style "menu-item" 
class "GtkTearoffMenuItem"	style "menu-item" 
class "GtkImageMenuItem"	style "menu-item" 

[GrumpyWolfe]

Geoffrey I will have to admit it does look a lot better that way thanks for the code.

Hi qj98

what video card does the pc have

[qj98]

Hi qj98

what video card does the pc have

my pc card is NV GT 240M ,xorg 1.7.6 can Use，

[GrumpyWolfe]

qj98

Open your xorg.conf it is at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look at the driver loaded for your video card see if it is loading the nv driver or the nivida driver. It will be around line 145

Can enter the linux system, LCD is dazzling monitor. No matter how the drive settings are invalid, that NV NVIDIA vesa all did.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf driver is vesa，

What is the lcd monitor normal settings for the 800 by 600 seams to be small for it maybe you need try increasing the resolution some. Try setting it to nv and increasing your resolution some and see if that does not help

[rokytnji]

Saw this and thought of you.

[GrumpyWolfe]

why thank you rokytnji I like it.

[deepsea]

Hi Grumpywolfe

I test your puppy and i like it.
But i missed some properties of the standard puppy
specially the drive icons on the desktop.
I try the thunar volman with no success .
Run only usb devices with adding some usb rules.
So i add :
rox and a call for pup_frontend_evend_d into .xinitrc
an improved shutdown dialog
enabled fuse for lameSMB
new theme
....

Hope you like it.

[GrumpyWolfe]

if you want I will give you all the files and the soucefouge account and you can make it your own project I do not have what it takes to make it a great system and you seam to have a better handle on it so let me know
