(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Shinobar- your work is appreciated. I was surprised that grub4dos does not install to Superblock of linux partition (grub does and is compatible with RPM-Ranish PM). RPM takes over the MBR.
There are guys (like me) who are fanatical about their partition managers.
RPM-grub4dos (or grub)-puppy is what i desire.

Music listening: gnome-mplayer, pmusic, audacious, aqualung, deadbeef, lxmusic, and Songbird in Quickpet and PPM

Nice to see both deadbeef and aqualung. I installed aqualung from PPM and it works perfectly.

Edit: To make the FX button in Aqualung actually do something: extract the attached, run make install on the folder contents and you get a bunch of plugins installed.

hmmmm..

Rubbing out yaf-splash is a mistake in my most humblest of opinions.

I was the instigator of gtkdialog-splash.. I left a bone, mave picked it up and he ran with it.. a good thing, Barry got the bone off mave and chewed off some more meat. It certainly supports UTF-8 and all locales/fonts but it was not designed as a full replacement for yaf-splash.

Consider the timing function of yaf-splash. It drives the pinstall.sh we now have in nvidia pets. Of course we can change that but it will be slower and more awkward.

The yaf-splash bug where it stays persistent in the "save" splash is a new introduced bug, just an oversight. I'll find the relevant code and fix it, it's easy.. it's just a "-font" parameter needing removal and then the code in question will use gtkdialog-splash. It will still need a mouse-over to kill though, unless Barry has made the x-box the default, I'm not sure at the moment.

I can name three or four esteemed devs around here that would really miss yaf-splash.

Cheers /FWIW

Just goes to show that rubbing one out is sometimes not a good idea.

I'm in a strange mood this morning.

Not even the esteemed . . . there are 'almost programmers' like me
who would miss it before we work out how to use it . . .
I have been trying to use yaf-splash in my Lucid Lit Program
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 503#477503
Can not get it to work

This is what I want to do (that or yaf-splash - same thing?)

<action>gtkdialog-splash -bg yellow -fontsize x-large -timeout 6 -text 'breath in 1 . . . 2 . . .' &</action>

Am I (as suspected) the bug or is it something else?

I go between kubuntu and lighthouse puppy in my home. Is it possible to install kde4.5 on lupu. Thx

Menu>help
At the top of the help page there is a link to
Announcement and Release Notes for Lucid Puppy 5.1.5.
I do not see much that deals with Lucid Puppy 515.
Most of the info is old news that stops with Lucid 5.1.

Howdy All,
515 looking better all the time.
Two problems:
1) installed gnome-Hearts from PPM-ubuntu-lucid-universe.
Nothing missing, it said. Tried to exec from menu, fun, hearts.
Got the msg : Failed to execute child process "gnome-hearts" (No such file or directory). Anyone know how to fix?
2) Using OO.o sfs. It displays the slide show, but no sound.
Sound ok otherwise.
Thanx for any-all help with these 2.

Yes, one more thing to do before release. Thanks for reminding me

Yaf-splash. Message Received. Keep it.

Should I combine with aqualung in PPM?

Its creator called it grub4dos and perhaps we should respect that - how would you like it if someone packaged Lucid Puppy and called it GooglePup for instance!

Convincing. Thanks.

ttuuxxx would be proud I think!

In a moment of weakness I added 1k and the word 'Lucid'
. . . I am told pride is a sin, so maybe it is a good thing

Sweet, it will be included.

There's a nice ubuntu maverick package of Chromium 10.07.617.0.
Writing from it now.

What is interesting is that you can choose the components à la carte Only install language pack if you need it, for example.
This makes for a small download (as far as modern browsers go)

This is available:



This is where I found it

Lobster, usually I hate grey, but this background is superb. Thank you!

could you add that to this pic for me?

The version of Pwidgets in PPM and Quickpet is still v2.2.7 - they're up to 2.3.1 in the forum thread. I've been using it for a few months throughout my testing of Luci and in 5.1.1 without having encountered any problems.

Whoa. If you want. I mean it's only a 3 second thing to open the folder and make install. But it wouldn't add much to the pet. I've actually never seen a compiled Aqualung with the plugins already in except for on windows, even the original binaries don't have them although the factorial.hu site does point to where to get some.
