(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Nice, last night on IRC someone was telling me about doublecmd
It needs freepascal/lazarus to compile but precompiled binaries run too.
It launches pmount at startup when probing drives though which is a bit annoying...

I download Firefox 29.0 and have it running from /mnt/home, it's
working fine so far.

Dejan555:

I finally changed up and burned the DPUP! Very nice, clean and fast! I believe this PUP was made in the true spirit of what Barry had originally intended.

Fast...

Easy to use....

Light....

Useful Applications....

I especially appreciate the nice CUPS interface and a good working Dillo.

Working extremely well and bullet fast on the PC below.

One note, it appears the PPM seems to blog the system down when downloading updates. You may want to include fewer repositories by default.

Just a thought.

Best,

Slavvo67

Glad it works for you.
Yes, I know about ppm it's mentioned, will work on alternative debget script when i get time.

Here are few more apps I compiled for 487, dropbear ssh server/client and ufraw-batch command-line for converting raw photos (works with image magick's convert tool from 486 pets)
I tested dropbear only through lan between laptop and desktop

ufraw-0.19.2-i486-dpup487.pet 569 KB

OpenSSL 1.0.1h
Up until now we used older 0.9.8 version which wasn't vulnerable to heartbleed bug, but now more other bugs are fixed so here's latest for dpup487

openssl-1.0.1h-dpup487.pet

EDIT: Now I see that I'll need to recompile this with shared library configure parameter because it doesn't build libssl in /usr/lib, only openssl in bin.

Here's the correct pet: openssl-1.0.1h-shared-dpup487.pet

sqlite3 update to 3.8.5
sqlite-autoconf-3080500-i486-dpup487.pet 446 KB

I haven't used dpup in a while but plugged the flash drive into my
lenovo Thinkcentre and booted it up.
I downloaded and installed the latest proprietary nvidia driver.

I also got xbmc 12.3 working under wine.
Firefox updated to 3.0

Dpup is working well on this pc.
Off to Silver City now

More packages:
If needed for compiling here's new cmake-3.0.0-dpup487.pet

Updated hiawatha: hiawatha-9.6-dpup487.pet
+ PHP php-5.5.14-i486-dpup487.pet

So, puppy + hiawatha + php + sqlite3 = lightweight and cool

dejan, i installed-frugal of dpup 487.

did the delta update no issues. things are generally fine all around.
one issue i have is that i dump my /desktop evry month or as needed. when i tried to highlight the contents and move to my dump folder, it won't do anything. single files yes but not mass files.
any ideas?

Desktop as in "pinboard icons desktop" or some directory named desktop?
I didn't have any issues when copying/moving from one directory to another in rox.

/desktop in root. still not happening. if i highlight 6 files and try to drag it just shifts highlight from text to icon. no movement

And these are regular files that you're moving from /desktop?
No idea, everything worked ok with rox for me so far.
Not sure how I would replicate this.
Do you have some keyboard key stuck that might be changing behavior?

dpup 487 packages for new stable release of weechat (1.0)

Dpup 487 runs in France too (puppy pfix=nox) netbook Medion P7624 (2012).
Wireless connected. Seamonkey once crashed. rebooted.
Drec 2.1 replaced with drec 2.0 process ogv to avi now ok.
well...
temp = proc acpi thermal linked to desktop

Removed from dpuprec process 'remove ogv' and ogv file well exist and is correct.
The problem is in post processing to avi.
FFmpeg seems not installed, needed by drec to process video to avi.
Done with puppy precise retro 5.4.3 uploaded youtube.
audio not recorded although alsamixer capture was activated.

Remember for non-Dpup users, Drec requires a recent ffmpeg, with x264, xvid and theora support. (Dpup already has them) 487 too ?
"Hey Pelo, thanks for testing and video, yes dpup 487 has ffmpeg" confirm Dejan, here below

Hey Pelo, thanks for testing and video, yes dpup 487 has ffmpeg
Yeah I didn't look into drec script since but I'll get to it.
Also, I might do another update delta with newer seamonkey and few other fixes since update 1

Here are packages for bash 4.3 (from git, patched, see here)

EDIT: See this post for latest version

Hi Dejan555,

Excuse my ignorance, but why are there 3 pets ?
NLS DOC ? can you choose ? Do you need all 3 ?
