42 Music Apps in Akita Repo..

#921 Post by sc0ttman »

Click the 'Update' button in the Akita Package Manager to update the list of packages.. Or run the following in the terminal:

Code: Select all

pkg --update-repo
I've compiled & added loads of audio, MIDI, jack, wav, and lightweight music making software to the Akita repo, plus all their deps.. The total size of all of these is about 120mb, so I hope something is of use in here...

Worthy of note are the following: ecasound, sox, bristol, non-daw, fluidsynth, jack. nted, sunvox, soundtouch, linuxsampler, schismtracker, skale, loopdub and more..

NOTE: Many of these pets might work in any recent pup, if all their dependencies are installed.

Full list, with descriptions, filesizes and deps below..

Does your version of mhwaveedit accept ladspa plugins?

I explain how to compile mhwaveedit for ladspa HERE

I don't think so, it was taken from another puppy ages ago, I think.. Can't remember to be honest! Does LADSPA stuff need to be installed for the package to work once it has been compiled? I dont want to include LADSPA in akita by default, but if the ladspa-supporting mhwaveedit can also run fine without it, then i'll re-compile it.. maybe.. if I dont forget..

Compiling mhwaveedit for ladspa support doesn't add any more
size to the application. You should strip mhwaveedit after compiling
to slim down the application. The header file I provide must be
installed at the time of compiling to 'fool' the compiler, but
isn't needed otherwise.

It's easy to test mhwaveedit to see if it was compiled for ladspa plugins.
Just install some plugins and then launch mhwaveedit. If the
effects menu shows the new effects then you have succeeded.

Don't compile mhwaveedit 1.4.22 ----> it's too buggy.

I compiled mhwaveedit 1.4.21 in akita so it will use ladspa effects


You can use them if you want.

Pkg and Pkgdialog

#927 Post by sc0ttman »

Akita 15 is coming not too far away, nothing major...
But here's something to play with before Akita 15...

Pkgdialog: frontend for Pkg cli package manager

Pkg+Pkgdialog should work in any pup, if using the akita repo :)
Note, Pkgdialog is simple, it only covers a few options of Pkg.

The frontend is called Pkgdialog and is very much unfinished, but the basics
works fine - install, uninstall, compile, search, delete, combine pkgs, etc...

main menu
Image

package search results
Image

install/uninstall confirmation
Image

choose a package for conversion
Image

choose the final package format
Image

You could also change /usr/sbin/pkgdialog... make $DIALOG=Xdialog, to make it look like this:
Image

EDIT:: I re-uploaded a slightly less buggy Pkgdialog.. 3 people need to re-download ;)

Pkgdialog: frontend for Pkg cli package manager

I just tried tried it out for a bit. Yes, a lot of functions are still buggy, but the build files from source option works great. Well done, Sc0ttman! :D

EDIT:: Forgot to say, nice to see you back Tman.. Hope things are well..

Pkg itself works fine in Akita for me, I use it all the time.. The dialog frontend still needs a fair bit of work though!!


I re-uploaded a fixed version (in my previous post):

- fixed updating pkgs
- fixed searching for packages
- fixed finding deps
- fixed menu navigation
- fixed re-clean the lists
- other fixes in Pkg unrelated to Pkgdialog

Thanks partsman, Pkg works well for me at least and it's much much faster than using the standard PPM.. I know it could be made faster as well... by a better coder! :D

You only need the devx installed to compile (build) stuff, but Pkg will print an error about this if it's not present.

I've made many changes and improvements to Pkg in the last few days, including the ability to install/uninstall/delete/search for/etc many pkgs at once, just encase the pkgs in double quotes:

Code: Select all

pkg -g "firefox mplayer tixati"
The above command will install all 3 of those pkgs in one go, plus all their deps...

Code: Select all

pkg -s "office printing"
The above command will search pkg names, descriptions, categories, etc, and show any pkgs that match either 'office' or 'printing'..

So before releasing Akita 15, I plan to change Pkgdialog so that the list of packages is a checklist - cos then users will be able to choose multiple packages to install/download/delete/etc in one go, using both Pkg and Pkgdialog...

Also, because I have so nicely (IMHO) integrated SFS-Installer, Pkg, Buildpet and Pkgdialog, I was thinking about allowing Akita users to automatically upload the compiled and combined pets and sfs packages they build with Pkg, to a 'contrib' akita repo... But I already compiled, combined and uploaded most of them myself, so didn't bother...

It's all relative! Almost everything I ever made was done with a little or a lot of help on these forums!!
And my early work was plain crap.. And as I say, it's all relative - many would say my work is still crap ;)

But glad you like it, hope to have a new one out in a week or less...

I tried this ISO on my Lenovo ThinkPad T430, but there were two major problems from the get-go:

* The integrated wireless chipset was not detected

* The integrated sound hardware was not detected

I could not get either of these working via the wizards. I might have been able to get the wireless chipset working if I looked up what it was using another computer.

However, the latest version of Precise Puppy detected both of these items on first boot and they were available to use - so I know it's possible. I'm writing this in the hopes that this may help you improve Akita Linux. I like the look and feel much better than Precise Puppy, but without sound or wireless access, it's a no-go for me.

I checked the relevant pages, the oldest supported kernel is 2.6.27.x I think - your laptop is too new for Akita...

But, I do plan to have another go at releasing an Akita with an updated kernel, whisch if done right, would solve your problem, but I'd need some help I think, and would probably do it with beta 16 - i still plan to get the undergdog linux feature working first,plus a few other things ...

Cos first, I wanna get my eeepc 1005ha working 100% with akita, currently has wifi issues, but should be solvable, but i cant seem to nail it... Would LOVE some help with that!!

- would LOVE to get native wifi support working, for eee pcs/netbooks
- but also wanna have the correct windows driver for ndiswrapper, cant find it

Its been a couple releases since I tried it but I was using the wary kernel on akita fine... Just made new sfs files with minor tweaks.
Check out my [url=https://github.com/technosaurus]github repositories[/url]. I may eventually get around to updating my [url=http://bashismal.blogspot.com]blogspot[/url].
