I would like to see this kanga-roo software re-named to:

Hang-the-Roo !!! :lol:

Explanation:

This needs mysql and the link provided by the installer is linked to a page with a big collection of different mysql packages.

So how should/could anyone know, what mysql package is needed to download?

The mysql packages are sized from a few KB up to several hundred MB - and, of course, this is toooooooooooooo much to download only for testing if one has downloaded the right one, the needed mysql package.

Hang-the-Roo - or at least, put some more useful information into the installer or even into this topic.

Sorry RSH, I missed any reference to mysql. I just downloaded a jar file which ran straight away. After your post i read:
There are two variants of the program: Kangas Sound Editor which requires MySQL for its database, and Kangas Sound Editor QI which does not (it uses an internal database - HSQLDB - instead).
So I downloaded the install jar that doens't need mysql. I would be interested if you retried it as I know you are a muso, whereas I'm so amusical I couldn't work out how to test it, even with the online tutorial.

Hi muggins.

Thanks for the Info.

No, I didn't retry this, though I will do yet.

Edit:

This has worked!

Now need to build a SFS Module of this.

Hello, java-apps thread revivors! :)

At the bottom of
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... ost#824214
you'll find some screen caps, plus a *.desktop and an icon files, of the
NumericalChameleon-1.6.0.

Although written by German programmer Johann N. Löfflmann, this java app has been
localized in many European languages, including English, of course. You can find it at
http://www.jonelo.de/java/nc/

It has a precision of up to one thousand figures after the decimal point, and "supports
more than 3200 units in 82 categories."

The install package is very well done, so I did not feel the need to create a *.pet
archive. Just make sure the program's "start.sh" script is linked to NumCham.sh in
/usr/bin, otherwise the NumericalChameleon.desktop file won't launch anything.

Johann's doc page is very informative as well, so I'll leave you to it! :) This one can
replace gMeasures anytime... ;) Have fun converting numbers!

Gnuaccounting

A java accounting application embedding OpenOffice.org A java (SWT) application embedding OpenOffice.org. Possible database back ends are the embedded HSQLDB database or MySQL.

The GnuAccounting project aims to create an application that lets you create invoices, credit memos and other documents with OpenOffice.org output (odt, pdf) and edit metadata (products, customers). You will be able to mark invoices payed and base a simple accounting on this application.

alchemy http://al.chemy.org/download/

The Alchemy drawing canvas has an intentionally reduced level of functionality. No undo, no selecting, and no editing. Interaction focuses instead on the output of a great number of good, bad, strange and beautiful shapes.

This is character map I really like and use a lot.

It is GPL3 so I think that means I can post it here and host it.

Java Application: CharMap
Written by: Keith Fenske, http://www.psc-consulting.ca/fenske/
First version: Monday, 19 May 2008
Document revised: Saturday, 13 February 2010
Copyright © 2008 by Keith Fenske. Released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

and I hosted on my google drive site at

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=down ... kZZaVcyQXc

Make a folder for the contents of the zip (as it has no master folder), unpack the files there and click the CharMap4.jar file and it should open the GUI.

I have an old circa 2004 computer (which as I footnote ROCKS! With Puppy! Thanks, Everyone for making that possible!) and on it it takes about 5-10s to open (with JRE 1.8)

It works great and has a puppyistic interface - clean, straightforward, and does only what I want it to.

-Ciao!

Couple of Noob Questions

#38 Post by mikeslr »

Hi All,

Scanning the Graphics section I ran across LightZone which looked like an App worth adding. Reading the threads about LightZone indicated that to run it requires JRE (Java Runtime Environment). I lump (perhaps wrongly) such underlying applications as "frameworks". To run a Windows exe in Linux, requires Wine; some apps require python; others QT. In the absence of such underlying structures, an app which depends on their presence just hangs in mid-air, unconnected to the operating system. Underlying structure = framework. Maybe not the best choice of words.

Reading the LightZone thread, and following its links lead me to this thread on which Forum Members have graciously listed apps which they thought worthwhile together with links to sites were such apps could be obtained. Two attracted my attention, and I downloaded them. They arrived in the form of "jar"s.

In another "Framework" with which I have some experience, Wine, its loading as an SFS or installation of a pet usually provides the mechanism for calling applications which are to be run under it. Some "Wines" create a separate menu category so that any application you install using it will appear under that category. Portable-Wine does something like that: it creates a Menu entry under System named "Wine Windows Program Loader". Clicking that entry opens a "Window" to portable-wines false Drive_C/Program Files displaying all the EXE files. Selecting one opens the program. Even in the absence of Menu Entries, browsing to the false Drive_C/Program Files and clicking an executable [if the file-manager has received proper instructions] opens the program. Such EXE files can be dragged to the desktop, or called from a manually built application consisting of a bash script and desktop file.

AFAIK, QT and python aren't like wine. The applications which require those "frameworks" must provide their own desktop-files/Menu entries. Installation creates menu entries which, in the absence of their required "framework" just don't run.

So the question: How does the user of Linux call upon his OS to "execute" a "jar"? Is this like Wine, so that loading a JRE SFS, or installing a JRE pet creates a mechanism for calling the application distributed as a Jar? Or like python/Qt where the application must contain its own desktop-file/Menu entry?

Granted, java applications are intended to be "platform" independent. Being able to run under both Windows and Linux, if the requisite JRE is present, is one thing. Generating a Menu entry is another. Windows does it one way. Puppy LInux another. Many portable xp programs run fine under Wine: but if you want a Menu entry, you have to know how to create one. What's the situation with jars when their authors assume they would be run under Windows.

Second dumb question. How compatible in practice is backward compatibility? I note that JREs continue to evolve, and that several JRE-SFSes are available, such as jre1.7.0_65_5.7.0.sfs and JRE8u45Lin-i586.sfs.

I understand "backward compatibility" means that in theory applications which ran under an earlier version will also run under a later version. With Wine, that has been the case. Later versions almost always mean improvements --such as that more XP applications will run, or run more efficiently-- without loss of the ability to run applications which ran under earlier versions. Consequently, it is generally good practice to use the most recent "stable" version of Wine.

Does JRE have a comparable condition?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I've avoided JAVA/JRE as the impression I had was that their cross-platform compatibility also presented security concerns. To what extent is that valid? Over-blown? Whatever?

Hello @Mikeslr. You are very reasonable accurate in your "framework" references.

To run any .jar in ANY OS/smartPhone/etc, all that is required is that the OS has a JAVA installed.

So for example, if you have JRE1.8.xx installed, depending on the OS, you merely click the *.jar file in a filemanager and it will run.

In my past use of PUPPY Linux with a JAVA installed, in a terminal window I type

Code: Select all

# java some.jar
where some.jar is the pathname of the java app you want to run.

Here's an example that just about every PUP admin would do, assuming they have a JAVA installed. It add an intuitive system utility to show all of the PCs and devices currently connected to your LAN:
  1. Go to AngryIP.org
  2. download a DEB for your PC (ie. 32/64 bit)
  3. click it to install. It will put an Menu>Network icon in your system
  4. click the icon
Hope this is helpful in showing that many JAVA developers are also Linux aware to make use of their tools easy to install and work within our systems.
