here.

by shinobar
Thanks rcrsn51, it works but i made some change from yours:
Bold, Italic, Bold Italic - use corresponding NimbusSanL or NimbusRomNo9L
Bookman, Century - use NimbusRomNo9L
Hope to be better.

That's much better. I will post your version in the other thread.
Thanks.

Great, upnorth!
It does automatically, must be safer than editing it by hand.
I don't have enough test files, but i believe it should work.
# gs -q -sFONTPATH=/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 genfontmap.ps > /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/Fontmap
One question is the script seems looking up also in the directory /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF, but it would not harm i suppose.
Fontmap-8.11-lupu-1.pet

Yes, that script seems to make a large file with everything in it. I downloaded the Fontmap-8.11-lupu-1.pet, because it has a much cleaner Fontmap file.
I don't have a printer hooked up or any extra fonts, but installing the Fontmap-8.11-lupu-1.pet file allows the color circle postscript file to be viewed in epdf.
Good work Guys!
Thanks.

Hi,
(on lupq006 frugal + fr_BE locale + countrywizard-0.7.pet + lang_pack_fr-lupq-0.1.pet)
have installed both
Fontmap-8.11-lupu-1.pet
gsfonts-8.11-lup.pet
(not any other fontfile installed)
Great ! it solves the error
Code: Select all
# gv rf07kbs.ps
Error: /invalidfont in /findfont ...
(see previous post on page3)
while opening a .ps file
Abiword: OK! it displays TimesnewRoman bold police
many thanks to you all (shinobar, rcrsn51, upnorth ) !
Cheers, Charlie
Next release plan

Merci Charlie. Your testing report was the start of this story.
LupQ-006 plus bugfixes done the last one week seems mostly content. I am going to release next version in couple of days.
I will remove components from the current, that is IceWM and Simple Network Setup.
The major reason is that I like the LupQ to be simple for users especially for beginners. And the cost of maintaining and developing.
The Lupu and LupQ up to 006 has 2 window manager, JWM and IceWM. JWM is the startup and the user can switch to IceWM in 2 cases:
The first case, some problem on JWM may disappear on IceWM. The second, the person likes IceWM rather than JWM. I do not discuss on the second case.
Yes JWM has some problem but IceWM may have another.
How the users do? Try and error, go and back between the 2 options.
How the developers do? Look for the counter measure against both JWM problem and IceWM problem.
In the menu, you can find the configuring tools both for JWM and for IceWM, but which works for the current window manager? It can confuse the users.
So I like to remove IceWM and keep JWM for the main release. Another options shall be provided as the additional PETs. But the proper IceWM pet is not available now. Hope someone makes a good one.
I can say the same things on the Simple Network Setup(SNS). SNS itself is simple, but the Network Wizard is still essential to fill the lacking feature of the SNS. And switching between the two can be annoying and/or confusing.
Every time facing bug reports, we have to ask 'Which tool did you try?'.
I know no one is responsible to maintain the Network Wizard now. But the community can do, i hope, if we take efforts focused on it.
How do you think?

I agree with you. «Keep it simple» is often an interesting way.

Hi,
this is something strange...
1. on lupq-006 fresh live-cd session + just setup locale to fr_Be keyboard and GMT+2
Menu/System/System schedule/Puppy Event Manager do not display the pup event dialog box
2. it works instead on lupq-006 fresh live-cd session without any locale nor GMT setup change; or when back from fr_BE to US locale ;
this happens whatever countrywizard version, 0.5 or 0.7.
3. something else now: the usb stick icons keep displayed after unplugging them, and even after reboot with not any usb stick plugged in ...?!
Also even after ticking "redraw drive icons" in the puppy event manager (...got this working by setting locale back to US locale as in paragraph 2. above);
(hmmm...I also believe I possibly have damaged something in removing some applications - see below).
this happens on lupq006 frugal + fr_BE locale + countrywizard-0.7.pet + lang_pack_fr-lupq-0.1.pet
+ removed: all games + homebank + icewm components
+ added:
countrywizard-0.7
lang_pack_fr-lupq-0.1
Firefox-3.6.6-Lucid
Wine-1.1.43-Lucid
gsfonts-8.11-lup
Fontmap-8.11-lupu-1
numlockx-1.1
galculator-1.3.4-i386
mtPaint-3.34.55
poedit_1.4.2-3_forPuppy412-i686
pfind_NLS-4.x
pfind-4.19 (do'nt know which version lupq-006 is featured with)
note that when plugging again the usb sticks, they can be mounted/unmounted without problem
Cheers, Charlie

Seems the French translation is broken. I will check it up.

@shinobar
Yes, that did it right!
Before it was an everlasting bug in every puppy. I was used to just delete everything in /root/.pup_event. Now I was wondering that pup_event did not display the translated german texts.
Applying the chmod it is OK now.
I agree with you. «Keep it simple» is often an interesting way.
I agree, too, with emphasize on
often. (not always)
UPDATE: Lupq-507

Now comes the second beta release of QuickSet edition of Lucid Puppy!
Try the new version Lupq-507 and feed back.
Lupq-507
Posted: Thu 02 Sep 2010, 18:03
by L18L
Good morning to Australia and Japan
bon soir a France et Belgique
tested Lupq-50
7
locale de_: puppy-desktop posted translations are included
locale fr_: pup_event translated terms are displayed
was pfix=ram
found a small problem:
some of my translations are too long (in French at the moment "Connexion" beside "Quickpet")
Can the fontsize be made smaller?
Or the distance between the icons larger?
Or, best for now, I will change
"Textverarbeitung" to "Text-VA"
and
"Tabellenkalkulation" to "Kalk."
"Einhängen" to "Laufwerk" (mount -> drive)
"Installieren" to "" (remains English install)
"Verbinden" to "Netz"
(I write this just because
other translators might have similiar problems)
Updated po and mo attached.
Edit: Concerning
Xdialog.mo
I found out that Xdialog needs the .mo in /usr/local/share/locale and symlinked to it
Code: Select all
ln -s /usr/share/locale /usr/local/share/locale
looks really good now and would be nice for the other languages, too.

Danke, L18L.
We have
another topic focusing on the translations, thanks.
L18L wrote:ln -s /usr/share/locale /usr/local/share/locale
Good idea. Because some applications refer to /usr/local/share/locale.
IceWM
Posted: Thu 02 Sep 2010, 23:56
by shinobar
IceWM is removed from LupQ-507.
IceWM seems not yet finalized even with the Lupu-511. I guess it takes a time to prepare the additional package of IceWM.
libflashplayer

by shinobar
Installing the pets libflashplayer available from
here makes trouble for the frugal install on flash drives.
Instead, use
libflashplayer-10.1.82.76-1.pet from
here.

Bonjour !
(on lupq-507 frugal + fr_BE locale +lang_pack_fr-lupq-0.1.pet + Fontmap-8.11 lupu-1.pet + gsfonts-8.11-lup.pet )
I have installed the mtpaint 3.31 handbook from muggins's post here - thanks muggins !
:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=22164
Mtpaint Image/Preferences/Paths are set to:
- HTML browser: /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser
- manual path: ///usr/doc/mtpaint/index.html
note the '///' before 'usr/share/doc/mtpaint/index.html' (without the quotes!)
So NetSurf cannot display the manual : warning message from Netsurf « Couldn't resolve host '
http:'»;
whereas Netsurf is able to display other .html or .htm as /usr/share/doc/home.html with file:///usr/share/doc/home.html displayed in the search field;
If replacing inside Netsurf/Edit/Preferences/General/home page URL by file:///usr/doc mtpaint/index.html , then it displays the mtpaint handbook.
I also tried typing various syntaxes within mtpaint's Manual Path but withiout success.
So I believe there could be some problem in the link between mtpaint and Netsurf.
(I got also a try on my current puppy420'mtpaint3.31 and it works typing just '/usr/doc mtpaint/index.html'in the Manual Path - browser is Semonkey 2.06).
Cheers, Charlie

Netsurf as the defaultbrowser

Is a problem of netsurf if it is set as the defaultbrowser.
Using
gtkmoz is a solution. The gtkmoz is a wrapper of the netsurf. And /usr/local/bin/defaulthtmlviewer points gtkmoz.
One solution is to set the browser for the mtpaint to /usr/local/bin/defaulthtmlviewer.
Another solution is to set 'gtkmoz "$@"' at /usr/local/bin/defaulthtbrowser.
Or, replace /usr/bin/netsurf with another wrapper ...
Anyway thanks for the report, charlie.
Ciao!
