TazPuppy 5.0 rc2

[s243a]

I built Synergy_core-1.7.5 in TazPup. It should work but it's too late for me to test it tonight. It depends on Avachi and libdaemon. It was built using the slackbuild scripts. Here are the files:

libdaemon-0.14-i486.pet
libdaemon-0.14-i486.tazpkg

avahi-0.6.31-i486.pet
avahi-0.6.31-i486.tazpkg

synergy_core-1.7.5-i486.pet
synergy_core-1.7.5-i486.tazpkg

I compiled this in TazPupAlpha9, In addition to downloading the required dev packages I created a bunch of wrapper scripts. I don't know if I needed to do this or not.

One thing that stumped me for a bit was that I had to download some packages for the kernal headers, to avoid the error, "c pre processor not sane".

The installed packages on my system when I compiled synergy can be found at:
https://pastebin.com/ADUDGHRb
they are sorted by date. The ones dated "2018-06-03", should be the most relevant to look at to see what one might want on their system to compile synergy. Obviously, not all of these packages are necessary. Some I installed, just because.

Note that one may or may not need to do the following:

Code: Select all

sh-4.4# addgroup -g 214 avahi
sh-4.4# adduser -G avahi -u 214 -S avahi

TIP: TazPup allows installing pet packages by package conversion. Just double click the pet package and the package be will converted to tazpkg format. It also works on other linux distro packages.

Does that work in root yet? In alpha 9 i only works with Tux and on Root I have to do it from the command line.

I have done a new manual frugal install with alpha 11 to a new folder and using a new save folder.

The Save interval is working now using System Tools > Puppy Event Manager > Save Session, however using the System Tools > Save-Manager, it is still changing any '0', '-0', '+0' to '5'.

There also appears to be a regression with the save. Initial setup of the Save Folder is working. Any subsequent changes are not written to the save folder. This is happening when Shutdown/Reboot or the Save Session from the Desktop. All the ash: out of range messages are also now re-occurring at shutdown.

You can see if the switch.sh script fixes the save issues. It fixes these issues on alpha 9.

Run it logged in as root.

So I'm looking at alpha 11, now. the Shebang still says ash for snapmergepuppy. Maybe changing it to bash would help like it did on alpha 9. The other thing that the above script did was installed the coreutils version of readlink. I don't know if this is necessary or not on alpha 11. Will test.

In alpha 11, the, "Screen Save Timeout" menu option doesn't work for me under the setup menu.

Hi mistfire, tazpkg is working well, including install dependencies on alpha 11

Yes, or/and as i suggested here (busybox tail +2 and shebang change to bash)

I downloaded script and then logged in as root. I ran the script, which I think ran OK. Unfortunately saves are still not functioning. i'll wait for it to be fixed as part of the release.

Try typing this on the command-line

Code: Select all

bash -x snapmergepuppy

@Terry H we need to trace that error on snapmergepuppy since tazpup is now using the coreutils of slitaz.

@s243a I hope that you can trace the problem too on snapmergepuppy. I think I need to add package mime types on /usr/share/applications/default.list in order the package conversion work on root.

I'm thinking of trying to buld the following next:
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/zarfy/

so it is easier to use two monitors.

The nouveau driver in tazpup only detects one of my two monitors. I'm sure zarfy will only see one monitor as well.

In alpha 11, there is a bug where if you try to install something offline with tazpkg...for example:

Code: Select all

tazpkg install uextract-3.32.tazpkg

and you don't specify the full path then you get the following error:

Code: Select all

/usr/libexec/tazpkg/install: .: line 415: can't open '/tmp/tmp.iz9hDB/receipt'

It shouldn't be too hard to fix. One just needs to note the current directory and adjust the path accordingly.

The work around to this bug is to specify the whole path when using tazpkg.

Code: Select all

tazpkg install /root/Downloads/uextract-3.32.tazpkg

Some things that aren't working for me on alpha 11:
1. Sound on youtube (I'm using a 64bit system if that maters).
2. If I write click on a menu item and select properties, nothing comes up.

As for reporting on things that work..my Synergy package works

I'm able to copy text back and forth between windows and TazPup with it, and share a mouse and keyboard between windows and TazPup.

Hmm...there may be issues:

Code: Select all

sh-4.4# xrandr -q

Machine Tested on: Dell Studio 1555


Installed latest Alpha 11 by placing files from ISO into file frugally as usual.

Sound and video working. Save folder worked and time working correctly.
Package Manager is installing with dependencies correctly. Was able to run one of my gtkdialog programs which used to be a problem in pre Alpha 10 days. This was a fresh Frugal install without save file from existing version.

@smokey01 and @s243a this might help
