tahrpup 582 beta

updated
abiword 3.0.0
deadbeef 0.6.1
geany 1.24.1
sylpheed 3.4.2
palemoon 24.6.2
pfind latest
sfsload 2.0.8
JWM vgit-933
power applet tray
network tray
retrovol
freemaplet tray
added
ardis icon set (vicmz)

this is a more complete build of tahrpup and the first 'pure woof' build (the older ones were remastered afterwards to tweak them)
it fixes lots of missing libs & symlinks and can now be considered beta

i was going to add quickpet to this build but i'm having some problems with dropbox at the moment so will have to add it later.
i'm sticking with the old build system and same kernel for the time being whilst the bugs are worked out in the slacko thread, but expect a build using the newer system in the future.

@666philb

Regarding the "new" build system option, it's almost ready. Just working out some details with the init and rc.sysinit. I already built you a kernel (3.12.22 up at ibiblio) and the 3builddistro-Z script will offer to download it. I may update that soon though for the lighter firmware and a couple of inclusions in the DOTconfig. (eg, apple keyboards don't work)I. f you get time you should do a test build soon to familiarise yourself. No need to rebuild packages, just use a different version number. It *should* go well. Let me know if it doesn't!

I'll test out your 5.8.2 build soon.

I added applications from PPM + peasywifi-1.7.pet and a few others.

It's working well.

I installed bluez with dependencies.

EDIT: the firmware in /lib/firmware is missing for this common chip. download it from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cernekee/linux-firmware/master/ath3k-1.fw

and place ath3k-1.fw in that directory. Also, add btusb to the BootManager & REBOOT.

I also loaded the devx and header sfs, and there was a REALLY long depmod (like a half a minute), so if the above doesn't work, try that also.

In my case, I finally got, after much time of frustration, and searching, it paid off:

ROX-Filer right click (/root/.config/rox.sorceforge.net/OpenWith) in TahrPup-5.8.2 is somewhat broken.

FYI: There is rox_filer-MIME-additional-20131225.pet used in 571JP.

[debernardis]

Why not add desksetup to save/retrieve desktop icons?
I copied the one from latest slacko, seems to work.

[shinobar]

Defaults-chooser in the TahrPup-5.2.8 is old version.
Most recent is defaults-chooser-0.8.9-1.pet available at
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/

# v0.8.7 16Nov2012 sc0ttman: added pdf support
# v0.8.8 04Nov2013 shinobar: avoid the default is set to itself, auto layout
# v0.8.9 27Nov2013 shinobar: add defaultterminal, check excutable before, opning splash

FYI: There are pets used in 571JP. Note they are not all most recent.

I get a warning when the pupsave file is being updated:
cp: cannot create regular file '/initrd/pup_ro1/root/spot/.cache/mozilla/firefox/6x4tdxgd.default/Cache/1/26/EE3D9d01': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file '/initrd/pup_ro1/root/spot/.cache/mozilla/firefox/6x4tdxgd.default/Cache/0/DA/8121Bd01': No such file or directory

I guess it's because firefox is running as user spot?
It doesn't seem to cause problems.
