ok while it was checking for packages I received this error, any ideas?

Checking that compat-distro pkgs specified in PKGS_SPECS_TABLE actually exist...
FAIL: libdevmapper-event1.02.1_
FAIL: xserver-common_

Finished, but some failures. You need to fix the above entries in
PKGS_SPECS_TABLE in file DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-debian.
Search for suitable packages in these files:
Packages-debian-lenny-main
Packages-debian-lenny-non-free
Packages-debian-lenny-contrib
Or, search online. In the case of Debian or Ubuntu, you can search
at packages.debian.com or packages.ubuntu.com.
After you have fixed PKGS_SPECS_TABLE, run this script again.

tronkel,
I have just done a debian build. Working, but in /tmp/xerrs.log, I see that locale setting is broken. It is defaulting to C locale.

I built without 'x11-common', it doesn't seem to be needed.

ttuuxx,
Tronkel posted about those packages, just edit DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-debian and remove 'libdevmapper-event' and 'xserver-common' entries.

...if you can figure out why locale is broken, that would be great!

I'd like to see a wooflet with the 2.6.29 kernel,the latest open-source ATI drivers (with DRI modules and latest Mesa) and ALSA 1.0.19

Hi Guys

Where do I add my custom pet package to? Do I just place them into /woof-alpha3.1/packages-pet and thats it, or do I have to edit a file to include them also? So far I've downloaded all the packages next step is to add my packages then run the builder.

Hi guys I really would like to know how to add files? Do I have to edit anything, I don't want to mess things up so I'll wait for a response

Thanks

I'm not yet 100% sure exactly how to add extra Debian packages to Woof. I doubt if many people have tried it yet. It's still a bit experimental.

But if you want to try adding a DEB to the packages-deb-2 folder within Woof this could be a start. Nothing to lose by trying it.

Its pets I'm more worried about:) I removed JWM and wanted to replace it with icewm, so basically just drop the pet package with the rest and run it ?
I'll give it a shot.

Running from a live cd, still not getting any response clicking on icons in a rox window (same problem with a frugal install on another computer). Right clicking on a document and selecting 'open as text' does nothing either. Am I missing something obvious, or is something amiss? I've used a mouse before, so it can't be me.... can it?

gerry · #33 Post by **gerry** » Thu 26 Mar 2009, 17:35

@Keef- you are right, the "Open as Text" link is not working yet. If you want to edit a file, start Leafpad, and then open the file inside leafpad. Menu entry for Tea does not work either.

some libs are missing (run tea-gtk in terminal)
also abiword does not start for this reason
but n general it looks nice
I even istalled some little apps
from debian
also locale dd not generate

One thing that does work is installing a pre-downloaded deb package. My printer driver comes as three debs, which I keep handy so I don't have to keep downloading them. Just put them in the root directory, left click on one, and the package manager installs it, just as though it were a pet.

i've been trying out dpup. it's cool beans baby.

Any who, i noticed that abiword word wasn't popping up when the icon was clicked , so i pulled out my mad scientist hat and looked around. here's how i got abiword working. call up the package manager and select lenny-main and all in the left colum . look for the abiword plugin for goffice and click onit. it will of course tell you the missing dependancy . click on examine dependancies and install. abiword will work then . hope that helps somes .

Yes I've been working on a icewm package and icon upgrades for mini-icons and pixmaps for 2.5 days, then I tried to play a video with gxine that I installed from puppy 4.0 series, but it didn't work, then I tried my vlc package and that didn't work, then I went to the package manager and it download and installed but it didn't get the missing libs, then I re-ran the package manager and it FROZE, so I opened Pprocess and went to kill it, I also noticed Dbus was running so I went to kill that also, and guess what ???????????????? Total Pc Crash. I was running live with no pupsave, I lost atleast 50hrs of work, new themes I made for Icewm hundreds of icons I downloaded, I made a nice new icon for the pet package manager, I redid the shutdown script, etc. All gone........ moral to the story, always use a pupsave, and never kill Dbus.

I found the easiest way to access leafpad was to simply drag the leafpad icon to the desktop, then any text i need to look at i drag over the leafpad icon and it opens. Not elegant but with my very limited knowledge of the system it works, might give some more knowledgable person an easy way to make a link?.

RP-PPPOE doesn't work - what a shame. I can't even use this build.

See the post by 'happypuppy' in Barry's blog.I have a similar experience with dpup.

Hey Panzer its still early stages, we'll find fixes for issues.
I just compiled it on 4.2 for you, maybe it will work, when I get my version of dpup and the compiler working, I'll recompile it for you. Until then maybe try this package. Tell me if it works ok ?
