Thanks to Keisha (and infinality fonts creators) we have infinality fonting for Debian Wheezy. How to install infinality: Download all 9 deb packages from here in some folder (/tmp/infinality for example): http://kazzascorner.com.au/saintless/DebianDog/DebianDog-Wheezy/No-repo-packages/infinality/ Install them all by typing in terminal:
Then prevent upgrading the infinality patched packages by copy/paste or typing:
It is recommended to reboot the computer now but you will see the fonts difference just after installing the packages. If you need for compiling or other reason libcairo2-dev install this deb with right click Install option menu: http://kazzascorner.com.au/saintless/DebianDog/DebianDog-Wheezy/No-repo-packages/infinality/dev/ Or by typing:
Fix missing dependencies with:
And prevent libcairo2-dev upgrade by typing:
How to setup infinality better read here (skip the install part - use the instruction in this post) and here. The packages above include infinality patches added from Keisha but separated in official Debian Wheezy packages to prevent dpkg database conflicts after installing infinality in Debian Wheezy. Configuration changes for xterm and xfce4-terminal after installing infinality packages posted here. Mirror link for Infinality-Wheezy packages. =================== For DebianDog-Jessie try: Infinality-Jessie packages - extract the archive and follow the instruction from Readme.txt Mirror link for Infinality-Jessie packages. Some more information about infinality for Jessie read here and here. =================== _________________ Farewell, Nooby, you will be missed...

At Toni's suggestion, I am reserving this message slot for any further information that develops, concerning the configuration of infinality fonting for Debian(Dog) Wheezy. You should use Toni's install procedure, given in the above message, whose .deb's conform rigorously to the Debian packaging architecture, and not the procedure I posted at http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=832685#832685 whose .deb's are not in full compliance (since I am a Debian packaging novice). However, you can consult that message for several tips on how to configure infinality, i.e. how to add new fonts and where to obtain bohoomil's "infinality-ultimate" collection of free fonts. The one complaint I have seen so far involves fonting in the Terminal. For myself, I have solved this problem by this procedure: 1. Use Synaptic to install rxvt-unicode-256color. 2. Rename /usr/bin/xterm as /usr/bin/xterm--original and instead made /usr/bin/xterm be a symlink to /usr/bin/urxvtcd. 3. Then I installed (via synaptic) the Luxi fonts including my favorite terminal font, Luxi Mono. 4. Then I imported the configuration file /root/.Xdefaults from my pre-existing install of UnicornPup. It includes the following lines:
5. And then repointed ROX-Filer (Options-->Menus-->Terminal emulator program) and the xfce-panel "Terminal Emulator" (Properties-->Edit-->Command) to use urxvtcd as the terminal emulation utility. _________________ “A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.” --Bruce Lee Last edited by Keisha on Sun 08 Mar 2015, 12:44; edited 3 times in total |

I've started a DebianDog wireless configuration HowTo thread here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=833212#833212 Didn't want to clutter up the main DD howto thread on what could be a big topic eventually. I needed to get wireless going on a couple of my machines but could only find a few posts about that in existing DD threads, hence my starting the above one. If such a thread already exists though, please let me know and I'll close the above one and move my examples across. Cheers, William _________________ github mcewanw |

My two sons like to play/program with Scratch. Rather than just downloading the old Scratch version 1.4 I installed Scratch 2 on their DebianDog (openbox-wheezy) and MintPup systems. Problem is, an offline installation of Scratch 2 editor requires Adobe Air to be also installed on your system. For the DebianDog-openbox-wheezy system I basically used the instructions from here: http://fromscratched.nl/index.php/scratch-2-0-offline-installeren-op-debian-linux/?lang=en However, I had to modify these instructions with the following two additions: 1.
Note that program 'locate' wasn't installed on my system but I didn't need to use the locate command (mentioned in above link) to find libgnome-keyring files - they were already in the required /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu location. 2. Since I found that the Scratch 2 installation program I downloaded had the name Scratch-437.air rather than just Scratch.air, I had to use the following Scratch install line instead of that from the url above:
Note that when typing/copying the above commandline into a terminal you must replace {absolute path to downloadfolder} with that actual absolute path to where you have install program Scratch2-437.air stored (or whatever it is called on your system). ----- For MintPup (Linux Mint 17.1) base iso, I had to use an alternative method for installing Adobe Air. Unfortunately, when I tried the above instructions to run adobe air installer the necessary adobe accept license condition window didn't appear, and no error message appeared in the terminal to help me find out what the problem was. It turns out that some Adobe Air necessary dependencies were missing (as I discovered from the alternative adobe air install method below). Rather than myself tracking down what was missing, I found that the auto-installation script available from the link below, automatically found all the missing dependencies and successfully installed Adobe Air in MintPup for me, The same script claims to be able to install Adobe Air on any of Ubuntu 15.04/14.04/14.10/12.04/Linux Mint 17.1/17/13: www.noobslab.com/2015/05/adobeair-is-now-available-for-ubuntu.html (Note that I opened a terminal at a directory of my own choice that I had made to hold the installation files. From that terminal, I then ran the wget command given in above link to fetch the provided Adobe Air installation shell script, adobe-air.sh, into that directory location). I haven't studied the script, though doing so should reveal what the likely missing dependencies are. After installing Adobe Air in MintPup, the other instructions already given above, including the need to install libgnome-keyring0 and Scratch-437.air, worked fine on my system. Note that I cannot guarantee this all works on a freshly installed MintPup since I have only tested it on my MintPup installation, which already has many extra applications installed (same goes for my DD-openbox-wheezy installation). ---- After installing Scratch 2 on DD-openbox using the above instructions I noted that a menu item for it had automatically been created in Menu -> Accessories. In MintPup base, as far as I noticed, no menu item was automatically created on installation. However, for both systems, I dragged the program from "/opt/Scratch 2/bin/Scratch 2" onto the desktop to provide a desktop icon for starting up the Scratch version 2 executable.

Hardly needs to be explained here, but just commenting that Kingsoft Office/WPS successfully installed per the following description onto MintPup. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=862262#862262 Very nice and fast and works well with docx etc. Much faster than LibreOffice and can use interface like MS Office ribbon bar. Only issue I know of is that it doesn't use odf formats (though can apparently export to odf) but most of the world uses MS office docx, xlsx etc anyway, so fine for me... EDIT: Aah, but I've just read that it puts watermark on printed docs after 30 days? I don't know if that is the case ... but if only on printed docs watermark, could still be useful. Also, I can't see that issue mentioned for this version - maybe they removed that limitation? EDIT2: I should mention that as far as I know from later testing, no watermark appears on printed docs afterall, so seems fine.

Lumina Desktop for DebianDog and MintPup. More information about Lumina read here, here, and here. 
All i386 deb packages available for download here. Information about the packages read here. How to install: =============================================== In DebianDog-Jessie, DebianDog-Wheezy, DebianDog-Squeeze and MintPup:
Click System --> Start Lumina for more information how to setup the system to auto-start Lumina desktop or read the same information here. Lumina version included in each repository is: DD-Jessie - latest version 0.8.7 (qt5). MintPup - version 0.8.4 (qt5). DD-Wheezy - version 0.7.2 (qt4). DD-Squeeze - version 0.7.2 (qt4) - (lumina-fm and lumina-search not included - can't compile with QT4.6). Different version in each repo is the safe choice and keeps sources.list untouched without need to upgrade qt5 version available at the moment in official repositories. You can install safe any Lumina-qt5 version in DD-Wheezy after adding backports repo in /etc/apt/sources.list:
In MintPup to install lumina 0.8.5 and later you need to add Utopic repository but this will upgrade libc6 and fontconfig-config breaking compatibility with some packages from Trusty repo (not recommended). =========================================== Porteus-boot needs logout menu to execute wmreboot and wmpoweroff commands to save the changes properly. As workaround in each package added logout-lumina script. You can create logout-lumina desktop icon as described here or use from the menu Logout-Lumina entry to reboot and shutdown with porteus-boot. ============================================ Edit: DebianDog-Squeeze repo updated with lumina-desktop-debdog package compiled with QT4.6. Read above how to install it with apt-get. Also available for download here: lumina-desktop-debdog_0.7.2-0-squeeze-qt4_i386.deb This deb has dependencies only from official Squeeze repo and will not break in any way the package manager. Lumina-fm (file manager) and lumina-search not included here (I can't compile both with QT4.6). Change the default file manger to xfe or rox from Desktop Settings as described here (clicking System --> Start Lumina after installing the package will open the same text). 
The changes in lumina-0.7.2 source code for compiling with QT4.6 available here. It could be done much better with sure since I know nothing about QT programming but Lumina works well in DD-Squeeze and installing all dependenices + QT4.6 takes around 40Mb. Read the information about this package before installing in DD-Squeeze.

Update: Below doesn't work anymore for 32 bit Iceweasel/Firefox. Probably because google-chrome has dropped 32 bit support. How to run latest flashplayer in Iceweasel/Firefox on DebianDog/MintPup Official flashplayer from Adobe for linux is at version 11 Google-Chrome has it's own flashplayer bundled (pepperflash) which is currently at version 19 To be able to use pepperflash on Iceweasel/Firefox you can install the 'freshplayerplugin' See here: https://github.com/i-rinat/freshplayerplugin Install freshplayerplugin from terminal: # Jessie (adds around 55 MB disk space, that is on a clean install of DebianDog)
----------------------------- # Wheezy (adds around 48 MB disk space, that is on a clean install of DebianDog) As there's no freshplayerplugin available on wheezy, I've made my own package, compiled using instructions from github freshplayer page
----------------------------- # Mintpup (adds around 20 MB disk space, that is on a clean install of MintPup)
To be able to get updates for the freshplayerplugin (trusty) add to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nilarimogard/webupd8/ubuntu trusty main ------------------------------ Inside /var/cache/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/ there's latest google-chrome .deb. To clean up, just remove it, it's not needed anymore (unless you'd like to install google-chrome) Fred

I use a 32" TV as my monitor. DD Jessie (OpenBox version) however booted to a default choice of 1024x768 resolution and didn't (at least for me) include the 1366x768 TV resolution by default. So ... In a terminal window run cvt for the desired resolution, in my case it was a 720p TV that supports 1366x768 at 60Hz
Its the 'modeline' that we're interested in here. Also run xrandr
In my case I have a nvidia card and that shows it has two outputs, DVI-I-1 and DVI-I-2 With a record of those two we can now edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If no xorg.conf currently exists then create one by exiting X and run the command Xorg -configure and then restart X again (startx). Note that's a big X. That will create a xorg.conf.new in your home directory (/root). In that there will likely already be a 'Monitor' section and you need to append the Modeline as produced by the cvt command earlier and perhaps change the 'Identifier' to match that shown by the xrandr command run earlier. In my case I have two so I created two Monitor sections in xorg.conf.new i.e. snippets taken out of my xorg.conf.new look like :
Save that /root/xorg.conf.new, then copy it into /etc/X11/xorg.conf (assuming one didn't exist before, otherwise you would directly edit that existing version), and you're ready to restart X (exit X and run 'startx' command). Doesn't work and stays out at the command prompt? Then something was wrong with xorg.conf - simply cd /etc/X11 and rename xorg.conf to something else mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.bad and run the startx command again - which will startx up using system defaults. Edit and correct/repeat as necessary until it does work. Once in X you can open a terminal and run lxrandr and that will show a window that looks something like the attached (image below). EDIT : It would appear that using 1280/720 is a good choice. The TV can be set to either 4:3 (old square style TV mode) or 16:9 'widescreen'. 1280 is exactly 80 times 16 and 720 is exactly 80 times 9 i.e. a direct mapping with no remainder. With other (available) choices there's some rounding involved (scaling). Lower resolution - but more direct mapping - and to my eyes at least, clearer fonts/appearance. Accordingly I've use the modeline produced from cvt 1280 720 60 as the values used in xorg.conf.

Having got sound working properly and tweaked the resolution as per the last two posts, the only other thing I had to change was that the network icon in the tray wasn't working correctly for me. So I swapped that out for a alternative as per this posting http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=883633#883633 _________________ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) :wq Fatdog multi-session usb echo url|sed -e 's/^/(c/' -e 's/$/ hashbang.sh)/'|sh |
