ttuuxxx: These are 2 great little apps. Thanks!ttuuxxx wrote:Here's 2 really handy QT apps, and yes you need to install Barry's qt4 libs to use it
The first one is a screenshot app with a few nice functions, not as good as pup-shots but still better than the default puppy grabber.
And the second one is a batch image resizer, very useful indeed.

Thanks, but you still haven't answered the question: is QGRUBEditor intended for use with Legacy GRUB or GRUB2 ? I use and prefer Legacy GRUB.ttuuxxx wrote:here's the latest grub, you'll need some sort of gui to run it

It doesn't say it was last updated in 2008, kind of the transition period, actually they moved it from qt base to kde and never updated since on both backends.Terryphi wrote:Thanks, but you still haven't answered the question: is QGRUBEditor intended for use with Legacy GRUB or GRUB2 ?

Just wondering if you have grub installed? If you tell me where those 3 files usually are, I could probably alter the sources if they are in different locations and recompile itTerryphi wrote:ttuuxxx wrote:It doesn't say it was last updated in 2008, kind of the transition period, actually they moved it from qt base to kde and never updated since on both backends.Terryphi wrote: Thanks, but you still haven't answered the question: is QGRUBEditor intended for use with Legacy GRUB or GRUB2 ?

I installed QGRUBEditor to find out. It expects to find Legacy GRUB. It was originally designed for use with earlier versions of Ubuntu and it throws an error if it cannot find, and have read/write access to:
/boot/grub/menu.lst
/boot/grub/device.map
/etc/mtab
I can't see it being of much use to anyone here - particularly those of us who are 100% frugal , including Ubuntu (WUBI).
I use GRUB inside a WUBI (frugal) install of Ubuntu - and it is therefore inaccessible to Puppies.ttuuxxx wrote: Just wondering if you have grub installed? If you tell me where those 3 files usually are, I could probably alter the sources if they are in different locations and recompile it

Yes, that fixes it!ttuuxxx wrote: lol after 7 downloads in 1.5 days I just find out now, lol
Ok its in the package but its not finding it, On my pc I have system links from Barry's /opt/qt4/lib to usr/lib could you take the /usr/local/lib/libvlc-qt.so and move it to /opt/qt4/lib/ and see if that works?, If so I'll repackage it
I have the extra system links because I compile live.

Hi technosaurus usually they are looking for either ghelp or yelp, one of these days we\ll going to need two scripts called ghelp and yelp and able to convert the string value for default browsers, since yelp is just a mozilla based browser with a small gui over it.technosaurus wrote:I never could figure out why opening urls broke in some programs after gtk-2.14 (as upstream devs moved away from the deprecated code)
gtk+-2.23.90 release indicated this:
622125 Note that gtk_show_uri needs gvfs to spawn URLs
(we don't have gvfs)
which means I now know what to look for in abiword, ayttm etc.. to patch them (any others that you can think of where external URLs don't open?)
or would it just be better in the long run to add gvfs, its not really gnome dependent - just a gio module IIRC?
Edit: on second thought, how does it make sense to require gvfs for this? maybe it would be better to patch gtk using getenv("DEFAULTBROWSER") and fork() exec() {apparently system() is not secure?}
hi dogle the thing is that extensions in Mozilla based products have two areas where where they can be install,dogle wrote:Despite Wary's great virtues, the unexpected absence of Adblock is a showstopper for me.
I've found Adblock so useful this past year, so I'm back to 4.3.1 now. Even sc0ttman's esteemed blacklisting PET. though perhaps a most valuable complement, is no substitute (and neither that nor Adblock are in the official PPM repository).
Sure, I can download Adblock2 (though the former Adblock floated my boat very nicely), but so for that matter could I download Seamonkey (a la Lupu) or most any net-specific stuff.
So I wonder why Seamonkey is in, yet Adblock out? Space saving? (how much bigger is Seamonkey2? .... and that's a barrel of worms for another thread!).
I see that usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/adblock.xpm is still lurking in there, so was the omission an oversight?
I am very impressed by Barry's built-in-installation-help-on-first-shutown, which seems to address the second-biggest-problem reported by our collective newbies very nicely.
