tahrpup 6.0.5 CE

[666philb]

Is there a way to add the Kernal module:

ipt_MASQUERADE

to tahrpup 6.02. I need it in order to run

shareInternet-2.2.6.pet

hi s243a,

you'll need to get your hands dirty!!

install the devx.sfs (find in quickpet)
install the kernel-sources.sfs (find in quickpet). it is important that the kernel sources match the iso you are using 6.0 or 6.0.2 pae or nopae. check the puppy.sfs if unsure, and to check if pae or nopae use menu>>system>>pup-sysinfo click the sys-info tab>>kernel

open a terminal and ....

Code: Select all

cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig

note that you might need to make the terminal window bigger for menuconfig to work

in menuconfig use the up/down cursor keys and navigate to ...
networking support (press enter)
networking options (press enter)
network packet filtering framework (netfilter) (press enter)
IP: Netfilter configuration (press enter)
MASQUERADE target support (press m)
there should now be an M next to MASQUERADE.

use the left/right cursor keys and choose 'save' then 'ok' then exit exit exit until you are back at the terminal prompt.
then in the terminal...

Code: Select all

make modules_prepare
make M=net/ipv4/netfilter modules
make M=net/ipv4/netfilter modules_install
depmod -a
modprobe ipt_MASQUERADE

and that should be it .... let me know how you get on

Hello!
Just trespassing, have not read all the way -only some of the latest pages..
(will try to grab and read those missed later on, I'm never connected to www)
Here's some first impressions on TahrPup6041 from a dumbuser point-of-view.
( frugal fresh install from iso to usb, chameleon mode)

Are '*.PNG' window button icons (min/max/maxact/close) no longer supported in 6041?
Or where did I go wrong..?
There is /usr/share/pixmaps/jwm_button_themes/ folder and from there it did't even get listed in JWM-Manager.
From /usr/local/jwmdesk/jwm_button_themes/ folder they are listed in manager, but I get the following:
Error reading SVG:Error domain 1 code 4 on line 1 column 1 of file:///usr/local/jwmdesk/jwm_button_themes/TEST2/close.png: Document is empty
..in xerrs.log
Looks like jwmdesk does not accept '.png' even if JWM does... ?
Anyway.. double folders.

Any hope of getting XML-INFO background adjustable/transparent as default?
It may be only a matter of pasting and editing 'ptheme' from usr/share/ to root/.config/ , in more detail:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=101066
Of course it's the user-side way of doing things...
( /usr/lib/gtkdialog/xml_info gtk)


Maybe 24 & 16 menu is the new trend now? Slacko has that also...

on a separate note .... in /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc, line 11
Code:
<RootMenu label="Menu" labeled="false" height="MENHEIGHT" onroot="3">
where's the value of MENHEIGHT coming from? as in tahrpup602 the menu & submenus are a uniform size. in tahrpup64 the submenus are too big and in tahrpup 604 the main menu is too big

Size 16 comes from.. /usr/sbin/menumanager has that on line 11 &... :
MENHEIGHT=16
( think I changed that from menumanager GUI at some point in 6.00, and needed to manually delete $HOME/.jwm/menuheights file it created, to resolve some errors...)
And size 24, /usr/sbin/fixmenus has line 52 with preset:
|| echo $ONELINE | sed "s%MENHEIGHT%24%" >> $ONEDEST
(just changed %24% to %16% , then ran this fixmenus and restarted JWM. Uniform size.)
No idea about tahrpup64..


Nice thing to have Clearlooks and Murrine engines( ..version?) preinstalled.
For those who still use old CRT-displays there's a experimental (just exploring features, nevermind the design..) Murrine theme that should ..almost work for TahrPup6.00 to -6.02 , with jwmdesk just ignore any jwm settings provided:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=98048


Other than that, in 6.0
Just got Cube2 game engine up and running (initial idea). MM3D works fine.
Some issues with Gimp.
Probably will play around some more with Compiz(Emerald)/IceWM and BMPanel2(+GtkMenu).



Good luck!

I was wondering why tahrpup doesn't come with strace. I noted that warry also missing strace, ltrace & ldconfig.

I find strace pretty valuable for debugging,

hi s243a,

strace & ldconfig are in the devx.sfs

Hi. I am using tahrpup 6.0.4.1 version and tried to download a German spell check with the Packaged Manager but had no success. Sure, the manager did down load some files but after reboot I was still unable to use the spell check despite sylpheed showing a number of options, including de-german.
Anny ideas ?

to tahrpup 6.02. I need it in order to run

shareInternet-2.2.6.pet

An alternative approach is to get "shareInternet" to use "SNAT" instead of "MASQUERADE" see http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... &start=131

New weird thing - to me.

I like to run cast-in-stone versions of puppy, boot pfix=ram (pupmode 5) and no savefile. Once I have a pup set up as I like and working well with the hardware I'm content to boot the exact same pup each and every time and store everything else (docs etc) outside of puppy space.

So this morning I downloaded tahr 6.0.2 32 PAE, set up the desktops/configuration etc, applied updates, installed some sfs's/pet's for Openshot, Blender, google chrome, Skype etc. creating a savefolder at reboot etc. and then when everything was OK I copied the zdrv to adrv, renamed puppy sfs to zdrv, created a sfs of the savefolder naming that puppy sfs ... and rebooted pfix=ram.

The sfs's I loaded are apparently being stored under /mnt/tmp, so available 'in ram'. There were also copies under /root, but I removed them from the sfs ... and the apps all still work fine. That's a new one for me - but great. Now I boot and run Chrome, Skype, Libre Office (I installed a 5.0 version) - all without any hard disks being mounted (totally in ram) on this old single core Celeron D 2GB ram PC.

adrv (prior zdrv) is 30MB, zdrv (prior puppy sfs) is 166MB and puppy sfs (prior savefolder content) is 110MB

Generally no problems found with tahr so far other than my headphones jumping around initially from hw:1 to hw:2 and back to hw:1 again. Which meant that VLC didn't always pickup on that and fell out of sync with the tray volume control. But my final version has those all aligned so everythings great for me now (suspect the jumping around problem may exist if I were using a savefile/folder however). i.e. this PC has 4 different choices of sound and I guess its the luck of the draw (race) to whichever is picked up/scanned first/last.

Blender (Openshot (video editing) 3D title rendering) really whizzes along ... impressive. And with Blender, Openshot, Libre Calc, Skype all loaded/running, I still have the usual 1GB (ram) available and free.

Somewhat confused by the /mnt/tmp 'magic'. Suspecting things may not survive across a cold reboot which I'm just about to try.

[rufwoof]

Nope! Fine across cold reboots also!!!

As I frugal boot (grub4dos with initrd.gz etc copied to a HDD directory) and haven't a swap file/partition ... what I suspect is occurring is that at startup the sfs's are being loaded from disk into memory and then the HDD unmounted.

On this 2GB system all pup's seem to show 1GB free in the tray (icon that normally shows how much space is available in savefile/savefolder). i.e. to my simple mind 1GB of ram is held back as backend puppy space and 1GB is available for the front end. And that the (large) sfs's are being stored in that backend ram space.

And that the (large) sfs's are being stored in that backend ram space.

For comparison: On my 1GB RAM machine, it starts off saying "497MiB personal storage, free space 494MiB", and the number on the right slowly goes down as I open more programs. I thought it was how much virtual memory was being allocated (looking at htop), but I think I remember it using half (~250MB free) on my 512MB RAM laptop as well. I wonder if you open htop, is the memory bar itself half full at startup? After creating a savefile, mine is always "61MiB personal storage, free space 53MiB".

[rufwoof]

Half for front end, half for backend does seem to be the common.

A bit like the how much space tray icon. Someone with a 1TB when there's 'just' 200GB remaining free will have a red coloured tray icon with one bar line showing (I'm guessing there's 5 levels in that tray icon). Another who has a 50MB disk with 20MB free will have two bars and amber.

On another note I've just 'compiled' the Tahr 6.0.2 PAE NVidia drivers for my 8600GT card as that wasn't available in Quickpet. Don't think I've done it correctly as there is no 'Server' menu items available in puppy, however it works fine/great. Had to use a nouveau.modeset switch to disable modesetting first, boot to puppy, load the kernel and devx sfs's before exiting to prompt and running the nvidia run program - but got there after several attempts.

I don't use a savefile so after that I just shutdown and created a savefile, then mksquashfs'd that to a ydrv sfs and now load that as part of booting i.e.

original zdrv now adrv
original puppy sfs now zdrv sfs
savefile following initial configuration/setup mksquashfs'd to puppy sfs (save folder then deleted)
adrv formed from savefolder with nvidia drivers 'compiled'

So I can pfix=ram boot (no savefile) and the exact same 'read only' pup boots each and every time with in effect

adrv = firmware/modules
zdrv = original puppy sfs as-is
puppy sfs = configuration savefolder
ydrv = nvidia (graphics) driver

What specific spell check package did you download and install?
Are you sure you got the complete package and not just a part of it?

hi torm

jwmdesk thread is here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=101460

thanks for solving the menu size issue it's been annoying for months! in tahrpup64 i needed to recompile xdg_puppy to fix it but your fix seems to work fine for tahrpup 32bit

also how do you load mods into cube2 engine ? http://tesseract.gg/forum/viewtopic.php?id=259

i don't use virtualbox .... but in vmware after you've booted puppy once ..shut down.. then go into the settings for the VM and add an ide harddrive. then boot the puppy VM again ...run gparted and partition the new virtual hardrive. then install puppy on that

Hi. Is there any way of installing the latest dillo 3.0.5. browser in Tahpup 6.0.3 ?
Thanks for your help.
