tahrpup 6.0, 6.0.2 & 6.0.5 CE

[666philb]

Hi.

I have a general question regarding building Puppy from Woof/WoofCE.

If you finished a first version and published it how is that to be continued when users gave information about bugs and issues of the first build?

Do you again a Woof/WoofCE build or is any further fixed version just a remaster after the first build?

Thanks.

hi LazY Puppy,

apart from the first 2 tahrpup alpha iso's (which i remastered) all the rest are woof CE builds.
one thing i found useful when tahrpup was in testing was to have an update/bugfix mechanism, so that when bugs were reported and fixed, these could be applied immediately for users, and it also served gather all the fixes into one place, which could then easily be added to the next build.

And hopefully when you get the time provide (individual) patches for the relevant ones for woof-CE

That is not the package I am compiling , I am compiling my own software but glade, gtk cairo and other header files are mixed up.

And no I can't put it in better words than this , a developer would understand this i presume.

hi keyboard,

if you can be more specific, the devx can be fixed if need be.
all the .dev files are from ubuntu.debs and should be in the same place as ubuntu has them. there is the possibility that some are missing.

let me know

There is no problem with the devx as far as I can tell. I compile my own programs all the time linking with gtk, cairo, xlib whatever.

keyboard, what programming environment have you come from? In linux pkg-config is the program you need to find headers. You add it to your commandline.

For example, you have :

Code: Select all

gcc dailog.c -o dailog -lm

.. which is telling the compiler to link with libm, but as you can see from your errors, none of the gtk headers are found.

Try something like this :

Code: Select all

gcc dailog.c -o dailog `pkg-config --libs --cflags gtk+-2.0`

Hi

Running tahrpup 6.0.2. But not sure if this is CE-- are all tahrpup's CE?

Anyway, in installed tahr to a hard-drive. Then i updated it with quickpet. then i removed a bunch of built-in apps. Then installed lxde and xfce (but could not get either one to work).

Menu reboot still worked after all that.

then i made a bunch of jwm theme/appearance changes.

Now, menu-reboot no work. None of the shutdown screen buttons work. If i press power button on laptop, i get "woof" bark, and "computer will shutdown in 30 seconds"-- but after 30 seconds, computer no shut down.

Any suggestions?

thx!

Hello @JohnyWhy.

One PUP developer has worked closely with this distro project and has produced a version of this distro with the WM you refer. There is 32bit versions and 64bit versions which can meet your needs with a little less hassle. See them here.

Hope this is helpful

press ctrl alt & backspace to drop to a prompt... and then

Code: Select all

xwin jwm

this sets the WM back to jwm and shutdown & reboot should work again

thx much, @gcmartin!

actually, xfce is my fave-- would be cool to find an xfce-tahr. Was jus tryin lxde for the first time.

cheers!

Hi

then i removed a bunch of built-in apps.

thx!

What you removed is the possible cause of any of your problems.

The remove builtin packages has to be used with caution.

It is easy to remove something that is needed for normal Puppy operation.

If you remove something. You need to be sure it is not needed, to run Puppy or some other program.

\What you removed is the possible cause of any of your problems.

i remove these. Are they safe to remove?

Clicking on a desktop drive icon for a partition, brings up pmount every time (regardless of whether it is already mounted or not) rather than opening up a rox window.

As a work-around,
I set-up for No Drive Icons on the desktop.
Then Open /mnt and drag each drive to the desktop.
So, a folder icon appears on desktop for each /mnt device.
I have 'home', 'sdc1', 'sdd1' , 'sde1' folder icons on desktop.
Each folder icon brings up ROX.
pmount icon sits (inactive) in the lower left corner, for new devices.
Save this config.

Hi,

Just bringing my cent to this ....

I get the same behaviour only with bootable USB memory keys on wheezy-3.5.2.5 and wheezy-3.5.2.11 as well. And can live with it ... ; what i have noticed:
if more than one USB keys are plugged in, only a bootable one behaves like the above keef's description. Then I use to let Pmount start and i mount it just clicking on the Pmounts corresponding «mount» button. Then rox opens and displays its content.

HTH, Charlie
