thanks for those pets !
I have installed
gimp-2.6.8-i386.pet
gimp-2.6.8-local-doc.pet
and as I got a message telling a missing lib...glib.so.2 I installed successively
dbus-dbus-glib-0.82-i386.pet
dbus-glib-0.82-i386.pet
dbus-1.2.16-i386.pet

I am now with this error message:

Code: Select all

# gimp
process 1169: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or directory
See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue.
  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
Aborted

should I have to install other pets?
many thanks for any advice?
cheers, charlie

hi charlie on page 1 where you downloaded dbus I did make a note in the box. This is what it said. You must of overlooked it. It happens
ttuuxxx
usually I start dbus by adding this line
dbus-uuidgen --ensure &
to /root/.xinitrc near the bottom just above line 157 #exec $CURRENTWM

then just restart Xserver and it should be up and running

glad it worked, its nice when problems are so easily solved It's also nice having the latest gimp working really well, I use gimp all the time, I used to use PhotoShop CS2 and started moving over to Gimp about 2yrs ago, I still miss some feature of Photoshop, But I'm learning to live without it

Updated gSeptica to a much smaller and better looking Quirky Version

Game Rules:

* The game is won by the side who makes (takes) more points.
* 10 and 11 (ace) are points.
* A card with the same number as the card on the table takes it.
* 7 takes any card.
* The side who responds to a card put down can put any card down.
* The side that put the initial card down can chose to continue the hand with a take if its card was taken."

added Xournal -->Xournal is an application for notetaking, sketching, keeping a journal using a stylus.

added a few common gnome deps.
ttuuxxx

add Ghasher with rox right clicks for numerous files, like iso,deb,tar.gz,tarbz2 Actually the package is smaller than the default one in Quirky

I'm playing with 008 and have a couple of questions...

usually I start dbus by adding this line
dbus-uuidgen --ensure &
to /root/.xinitrc near the bottom just above line 157 #exec $CURRENTWM

In 008 there's no line 157 starting with #exec where should I put your line?

In 008 would I need a special version of Opera 10.10 stable and Firefox or can I use a standard pet? Which would you recommend?

Thanks for any answers and all the effort.

Quirky8 already has dbus and dbus-glib built in and doesn't need it, earlier models didn't have it., a standard Opera or Firefox would work fine.

Hallo Ttuuxxx!!!

I have a question about the gimp 2.6.8 pet.
I've downloaded it and installed. It is running fine until now. But there is one problem- I have no jpg export option !?
Did I miss something?

Barry might of change Jpg from when the gimp package was built, I might have to either make a system link fix or recompile it.

Note, there is an "official" Gimp that I compiled for Quirky 1.0, run the Puppy Package Manager, 'puppy-quirky' repository, Graphics section.

Is it possible to have a way in the PPM to search [or display] ALL packages in ALL repositories?

What I want is to know that when I search...
If a package exists...
It WILL be found.

Is it possible to include wildcards in the search term?

How about a .PET package of the latest JWM build (492) ?

Thanks for the .PET package,Barry. You won't get this kind of support anywhere else.

Now it's time to get rid of the ugly OpenBox/Lxpanel and pimp that Quirky:



Lovely! Now it looks more like a real dog

There's just one little thing that's missing in JWM - a menu with rounded corners.
Everything looks great, except for the menu which is soooo 70's-looking

There was a problem reported for snap2 - I believe the problem was due to a variable could have a null-value, potentially crashing gtkdialog. (http://linuxbackups.org/node/37)

I immediately did a bugfix release, version 4.8. Please update the snap2 pet for Quirky. Download link for the latest pet package: http://files.lstandish.com

(In building the new pet I used Barry's pet.spec corrections as posted on his blog: http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=01572)

Installed jwm2-492-q1.pet, then tried to run it using a console command, but got a warning that it couldn't be run because a window manager was already running.

What I'm trying to do is apply the JWM Theme = Black-VG.
How to do it?
