new mtpaint released

#401 Post by don570 »

new mtpaint released -- 3.34.74
https://github.com/wjaguar/mtPaint
* JPEG2000 file format support now can be compiled with either JasPer or OpenJPEG library
The newest mtpaint is just released. I wonder if the developer
put this feature in for Akita??

No, that was long ago, and for Slackware. :-) It was libopenjpeg that I first used, for back then it looked like having promise; when it later became apparent the OpenJPEG project was going nowhere fast, I added libjasper based implementation, for the latter, while having undocumented, and exceedingly ugly, API, is the only widespread implementation of JPEG2000.

And the recent changes to mtPaint are only those lines marked with "+" in the commit diff. :-)

Thanks again sc0ttman -
I've just replied to a query on your Arcade Puppy 10 thread - but I've probably not provided the right solution - hope that you might be able to shed some more light on apparent kernel-freezing behaviour...
To cover your reply really briefly on many issues:

I haven't yet tested the ATI gear you have in your repro - I hope to get back to that when various smoke and fires clear in my non-digital life.
Do you have a suitable icon suggestion for opening emel2fm from wbar? Doesn't seem to be provided in Akita at the moment.
I always just go with something in /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/, or use "Google Images", limited to 128x128, if I want something specific..
Thanks for that - that's what I've been doing for various apps - but I guessed wrong that you had emelfm2 in - it was just an artefact from wbar2.2 config presets.

Thanks for the heads-up on RoxURI too - that solves a bit of a mystery for me.
More in the "workhorse" mode I've been having troubles with disciples' PDFshuffler http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 6&start=45
Never used it, will check it out...
I actually tracked down a copy of the pdfshuffler.sfs on (dingo's?) dokupuppy repository. Alas it is sfs3 and I wasn't able to work out how to convert it to sfs4 - your's and a lot of other puplets I have loaded on various machines all lack that ability to retro-fit...
Wound up going back to XP to use IrfanView to accomplish that goal - convert a string of PDFs of single pptx slides into extracted TIF files, copy'n'paste together into ordered 3-slides-tall TIFS and convert them back to a single multipage PDF. Bumped up resolution along the way (from the 96 dpi originally provided) to ensure the final printed output on A4 paper, portrait, looked sharp. Bit time-consuming, but is rapidly accomplished due to IrfanView's ability to retain the setting that you're working with (like size you want your canvas expanded, where and how you want to save your modified images etc). Just wish I knew of a good Linux equivalent to IrfanView...
And I can get XArchon working too after a false start - I used to whup it's Arch back when I had it on an ol' Apple II clone - but it seems the whupping is now firmly from the other's foot.
How do I play it?? I might write a very simple popup dialog with controls before it loads....
I just uninstalled it and then re-loaded the pet to see how I might have done it. Press 'esc' (if you need to) to get the grey title screen with the menubar (Game/Settings/Help). Click on Settings>Define Players, and ensure that any one you choose is selected as "Player is human", while your opposition is "Player is Computer". Click on "Configure human player" to make sure that you select 'mouse' if you haven't got a joystick, Ok and Ok to get back to the title screen, and then up to Game>New. Should work :)
Thanks again for all your helpful responses,
Cheers!

Puppyt, good point about the wbar icons and settings on first load, I will update it... Emelfm should not be in there...

And I will probably re-package Xarchon, will either a help dialog, or set it up to use 'relative mouse' by default...

Akita uses sfs3 by default - it should not need to be converted.. Click on it to mount it, or right click and choose 'Load SFS' ... Either should work fine... If not, not sure why, I will test in a moment...

And that exact SFS converter is already included in Akita, I also added a right click option for it as well :)

I did come across a couple of actual sfs4 that would not convert to sfs3, but never an sfs3 that would not convert to sfs4.... hmmm... EDIT: Forgot, sfs 3.0 and 3.1 are not compatible.. Puppy2 uses 3.0, later puppies use 3.1

But I will probably upgrade mksquashfs4 because the new one Barry posted supports xz compression, and a lot of puppies are using that now, so we may see more xz compressed SFS files popping up around the forum... Maybe after that I will need to update the 'filemnt' script, I'm not sure

I compiled a version of mtpaint especially for akita
(with the compile options I used) along with
the other pet packages that should be upgraded
in the next version.


You can get it here
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-bb14ad2d.html


________________________________________________

When I tried to make a compressed archive from a folder
in akita I tried the 'add to archive' right click. I found it
very confusing. Wouldn't it be better to do a straight
conversion of a folder into an archive.

_________________________________________________

I went to the repo to install fbreader_en-0.12.1-i486-akita.pet

but to get it to launch I had to create a link called
libsqlite3-3.6.12.so.0

Great thanks Don, I'll download now.. In which Puppy did you compile it?
I have not yet updated the Akita devx, so cannot compile some things, without a bit of extra work...

That's exactly what should happen - I have noticed that the .tar.gz and some others work fine, but some don't... I might just use a script that makes a tar.gz, cos as you say, it's annoying that some formats don't work.

Yep, already listed as fixed in a previous post. the symlink will be in the main SFS next BETA...

compile mtpaint

#408 Post by don570 »

I always compile in lighthouse 443 (which is puppy431).
Then I check to see if the binary will run in recent puppies.

Fortunately the recent versions of mtpaint's source code
will compile correctly in puppy431 for a wide variety of Puppies.

There was a period a year ago when that wasn't true,
but Dmitri made changes to his compile script.

I made two mistakes with Quick Launch

1) I forgot to change version number

2) I forgot to put your wallpaper program on the
list of applications generated. I must have been tired the
night I put the package together :oops:

Hopefully I did it right this time...

Akita Linux Beta 4

#412 Post by sc0ttman »

I have uploaded a new Beta version..

Akita Linux Beta 4

It is 1.2mb smaller than the last one :) Still loads to remove, if anyone wanted.
There's still a bit of work to do, but nearly done.

Download Mirrors: akita-linux-beta4.iso (88.46mb)

(Remember, Akita linux is, for now, still using sfs3, k2.6.25.16, just like puppy 4.1, 4.2 and 4.2.1)

In general, these changes have been made:

- improved Puppy Package Manager (PPM), still not great, but OK..
- new 'Akita' repo available in PPM
- many more right click options, particularly office doc conversion
- many more internationalised (18n'd) scripts: sfsconvert, pupdial, pgprs, etc
- loads of German, Spanish and Russian translations added
- updated many programs: ROX, Psip32, VLC-GTK, mtpaint, SNS, radkys, zigberts, etc
- added PupCamera, mousecheck, other recent things

Hey, sc0ttman... LMK if there's anything I can do to help here... graphics would be easy for me to do ;) otherwise, if there's anything else you think I'm up to... hit me with it and I'll see what happens.

Bout the best part of being me is that, since I'm unemployed, I have just tons of time... pity that won't buy me a dinner at Red Robin ;) Oh well, someday, someday...

I've been using beta4 for the last day and
everything has been working nicely on my old IBM desktop.

You even put in the conversion of html to text right click.

One minor irritant is Barry Kauler's 'fixPuppyPin' script
which is supposed to move the three right desktop icons
to the right edge of screen doesn't work properly.

I should look more closely at the script to understand it better.

pup_event_frontend_d

#416 Post by rodin.s »

I do not have desktop icons displayed when ROX-pinboard is enabled. I have this in terminal:

Code: Select all

# pup_event_frontend_d
/sbin/pup_event_frontend_d: eval: line 1: syntax error: unterminated quoted string
I don't know what does it mean.
Yaf-splash doesn't support UTF-8 so messages of pupdial could not be read in Russian. Maybe it should be replaced with gtkdialog-splash script.

rodin.s - not sure what happened there, but I got icons up, in all locales, no issues, try running 'toggle-rox-desktop' in the terminal..

I've been testing the gtkdialog-splash that shinobar posted in the Slacko RC thread, replaced yaf-splash with the script he posted - it seems to work fine, although I dislike the fixed width... Am attempting to add a 'width' option...

Don - I've not look into FixPuppyPin, but maybe steal one from another recent Puppy and test it, I don't have any widescreen stuff to test it on..

starhawk - I like a lot of the wallpapers at vladstudio.com, if you can get a nice 'Akita Linux' title up in the upper left, remove the vladstudio watermark and reduce the images to a reasonable filesize then that would be great! (or any others u like)

Aside from that you can test and improve any packages you download in the Akita repo, that would also be great...

Been thinking... I'm a little skittish about rebranding other folks' wallpapers... but if you PM me a general idea of what the intended look is here, I'll be more than happy to cook up some originals.
