I believe above is the reason that /etc/rc.d/rc.country has been left out which was included in 1.9.6 ?

Well...I know soon...

The rc.country is removed from the firstrun-1.9.9 because it is updated in woof hard to follow up. As for old puppies, I am not sure but maybe no significant problem occurs even with old rc,country.

The sfs_load needs to load the language packages if they are provided as a sfs. The sfs_load works better with pupsaveconfig for the RAM modes.
Getflash is preferable to avoid the delayedrun offers to download flashplayer when the first setup GUI is running. But you are better to modify the delayedrun itself.

Additional note on the firstrun-1.9.9.
The firstrun(countrywizard.qs) does not handle the console fonts (same as the old versions of the firstrun). I have tested Racy-5.2.2.8 and I am not sure the console fonts works with no problem on Puppy.

Shino,

Seems you uploaded just the firstrun-2.0 directory, not the pet.

Also, concerning the pinstall.sh, what happens if this is installed in the woof build system the pinstall may act on the running host system, best to add a test to see how we are installing.

Code: Select all

if [ "$(pwd)" = "/" ];then
 (the pinstall code goes here)
fi

Uploaded the .pet.
As for the woof please test it(pinstall.sh has no change).

Firstrun-2.0.pet...several scripts has ftp:ftp ownership instead of usual root:root.

I have notice something that leads to a question. This observation is found in both Exprimo and Slacko (probably others as well). There appears to be some redundant behavior for which I don't understand.

FirstRUN is truly a "single screen localization settings" for distro developers and users alike. In the latest version of the distros, I am seeing a departure for this. It may be just an error or an oversight.

Please explain .. Question

Is there suppose to be a 2nd pop-up relating to information already recieved in FirstRUN?
Or is this an oversight?

Hope this helps

The 2nd pop-up on the langage detail sometime need and somtime need not.
From en_US to en_AU... you need to select 'en English' 1st, 'en_AU English,Australia' 2nd.
From en_US to en_US.UTF-8... just check on the 'UTF-8 encoding' on the main dialog.

Need not the 2nd pop-up in the latter case, you are right.
Thanks for the report. Will be fixed in a future version.

This patch fixes the problem where firstrun incorrectly identifies the video driver as vesa.

Minor update:
# 14apr12: v2.1: Need not restart X for time zone changed, fix video driver detection(jemimah), splash only for firstrun

As for the driver detection thanks to jemimah and keeping the compatibility with the X-server version:

Code: Select all

  LOADED="`grep -o 'Loading .*xorg/modules/drivers/.*_drv.so' /var/log/Xorg.0.log | rev | cut -f 1 -d '/' | rev | cut -f 1 -d '_' | sort -u`"
  UNLOADED="`grep 'Unload' /var/log/Xorg.0.log | tr -d '"' | rev | cut -f1 -d' ' | cut -f1 -d'/' | rev | cut -f1 -d'_'| sort -u`"

As for the splash, you can edit the line 51 of the countrywizard.qs:

Code: Select all

MOMENT=2	#v1.9.5: minimum second to show splash #v2.1: no splash if 0

@Shinobar. I draw attention to this issue

Here to help

Posted: **Sun 01 Jul 2012, 06:17**

UPDATE: Test release: firstrun-2.2.pet (1 Jul 2012)
#1jul2012: v2.2: ensure current localedef, hostname, handle different path to keymaps in kbd pkg.(keymap-set), slovakian keyboard (keymap-set), fail safe without xorg.conf (keymap-set)
http://shino.pos.to/linux/puppy/

NOTE: new keymap-set supports kbd package. But you need to refresh the file /usr/share/i18n/keymaps.
*KEYMAPS
If the file named 'keympas' is not exists, countrywizard.qs makes a file '/tmp/countrywizard.qs/keymaps' at the first run.
You can copy it and rename as '/usr/share/i18n/keymaps'. It is prefered if you make the remaster of puppy.

Related Barr's blog:

Calling for the NLS update. The pot file is at /usr/share/doc/nls/countrywizard/countrywizard.pot.
Attached the current po files.

update by vicmz for spanish.

Hi shinobar
Sorry, I should have looked for the app itself in the forum. I'll post updates here directly from now on. Thanks

Posted: **Fri 06 Jul 2012, 18:47**

I downloaded the newer files and updated them, now the new strings are translated, too. I also included the firstrun icon translated, so that when someone installs the .pet the menu entry appears in Spanish if they have it as default system language.

I tried Japanese version of Lucid Puppy that you put together

It worked nicely

There was a couple of translations of tooltips
that need to be made that I spotted in this window.

It is intended,
Changing the language is not for Japanese, but for whom may not able to read Japanese.

Hi,

is there a way to make the settings with a little script without gui?
For example: set resolution = 1024x768 freq = 60 ....
