tahrpup64 6.0.5 CE

[Fishy]

I tried to find a 64 bit driver for my Radeon HD3300 card. Using the video upgrade wizard doesn't help. I am not sure which package to download nor how to install it.

I need it to run calibre.

Hello Fishy

AMD have not released any proprietary drivers for DirectX 10 cards, like your HD3300, for three years. There is no support for recent kernels or xorg versions, so you have to use the R600g driver that is installed by default.

The only other option would be Fatdog 6xx. Kirk/Jamesbond did provide a legacy Catalyst 13.1 package for it. But even then it was necessary to roll back to an earlier version of Xorg. I'm not sure which 6xx had the required kernel, though.

May also be a fix for Tahrpup64

I just installed this 64-bit version a couple days ago and love it very much. However, after turning the touchpad off with the first app in the "Desktop" menu, this setting isn't saved upon powering off the computer. I'm using a Lenovo X230 Thinkpad.

hi revbish

try making a new script in /root/Startup

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
synclient TouchpadOff=1

Speaking of touchpads in ThinkPads and Tahrpup64 ... I can't get horizontal scroll to work in Tahr64 in my R500 & T60. In the T60, horizontal scroll works in tahrpup sans64, can't tell for the R500. In both laptops, h-scroll works in fatdog 630.

[gcmartin]

FATDOG's mechanism is a bit different, as, FATDOG has touch-screen tracking supported and operational as well.

Thus, because of the differences in the 2 systems and their base, it not a fair comparison of functionality, IMHO.

But, I'm sure that there is some method that may be employed to address the pad issue in TahrPUP coming from a ubuntu-debian base.

Boot from DVD ISO TahrPup64 6.0.5 on a Dell Latitude laptop - looks terrific!

It appears that Python is installed by default.

I need Quisk 4.0.3 and only v. 3.6.x shows up in PPM for the Ubuntu Trusty repository.

(I need it to interface with a SDR (software defined radio receiver located in a USB-connected external box.)

What is the best way for me to load the newest version, without dealing with endless dependencies, please?

This is the home page for Quisk:

I believe that the Quisk Linux version is native to Ubuntu.

Thanks!

Hello @Edoc. Still broadcasting? Anyway, for receiving, which device are you using where Quisk is to use? Model #, too?

Thanks

BTW: I see you made the same request on the Just-Lighthouse thread. A PET generated for this PUP "might not" work in JLH; vice-versa too. Thought you should know as they come from 2 entirely different base.

[edoc]

I haven't had time to get on the air for a while but miss listening in the background.

My primary transceiver needs service - the SDR would fill the listening gap.

I deleted my post on the Lighthouse thread for that reason.

The device is a Softrock Ensemble RX II.

I was told to use the latest release of Quisk as it's more user friendly and solves several of the complications and problems in the pre-4.x.x releases.

Thanks - David

hi edoc,

first off install the devx http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pu ... p64-6.0.5/

then open the PPM and tick the DEV box on the left.
in the search box type ....

python-pip ..... left click to add to the install list but don't install until we've also added all the following......

portaudio19-dev
libpulse-dev
libfftw3-dev
python-wxgtk2

now click on the 'do it' button to install everything at once

next open a terminal and type

Code: Select all

pip install quisk

hopefully there's no errors
then type quisk to run it

[edoc]

Sure appreciate the assist!

Your instructions, below, went smoothly with no errors until the "pip install quisk" stage where I received an error message that bash doesn't recognize "pip".

I'm guessing it's part of the devx SFS and have that set to install at boot-up.

What might be the source of this error, please?

Thanks!

[666philb]

did you install

python-pip

[edoc]

I followed the instructions and though PPM did.

I guess I may have to run the install again.

When I get home from a youth gathering with our son ...

[edoc]

OK, for some reason everything installed except Python PIP ... sigh.

I reinstalled it then ran "pip install quisk" from the default Console ... and this is the result.

hi edoc,

python-chardet is missing.... but when i install python-pip from the ppm, python-chardet gets installed as a dependency .

not sure what you've done.... but i would uninstall python-pip then reinstall from the ppm.... it should pull in the 20 needed dependencies automatically. ....does for me.

[bigpup]

I suggest you update PPM data base before you try again.
If you have not done this recently, there is a chance the repositories have changed and the data base does not know this.

Hi 666philb and All,

As it happens, for reasons beyond my pay-grade, of all the 64bit Pups, tahrpup64 provides the best platform for running portable-wine, that is if I remember after loading the compatibility SFS to run ldconfig. Best, in that some XP programs run under the Tahrpup64-32-bit-SFS-portable-wine combo than under 32-bit-SFS-portable-wine under other 64-bit Pups.

That being the case, I've been exploring tahrpup64 quite a bit over the last couple of days: seeing what else it could do, using PPM to install 64-bit applications or build SFSes. I did this to the point where I began to be concerned that my SaveFile might be near full. I had installed fbbox which is working well but doesn't provide a freemem applet in the taskbar. [A problem for a different thread].

At any rate, I decided to increase the size of my SaveFile. Resize Personal Storage file didn't start via the Menu. From the terminal, resizepfile.sh shows:

sh-4.3# resizepfile.sh
/usr/sbin/resizepfile.sh: line 61: ((1024-617
0)*200/1024): missing `)' (error token is "0)*200/1024)")

Any idea how to fix it.

No hurry. It occurred to me to switch back to jwm and the freemem applet revealed I still have a lot of available storage.


Thanks in advance. And thanks for the excellent Pup.

I ran the update, restarted PPM, uninstalled python-pip, restarted PPM, installed python-pip.

Same python-chardet error.

What else might I try, please?

[edoc]

What about if I just install chardet?

Do I want python-chardet_2.0.1 or python3-chardet_2.2.1-2?

[edoc]

I went ahead and installed all but the ruby chardet and then ran "pip install quisk" and it ran without error.

libchardet was already installed - any of the chardet files, e.g. Java, etc should I delete as clutter?

Quisk opened fine.

Now I just need to sort the correct settings ...

Thanks!
