Akita 10 has opera 12 and ff13 in the browser installer, previous versions do not. I should use DISTRO_SPECS next time.greengeek wrote:When booting A10 from CD the grub splash screen still shows it as Akita9. Haven't installed yet just in case there is a mixup. What is the easy way to tell which version is which, once installed?
Not really sure if libsdl-sound was already in your boost package, I installed from the wary repo 'libsdl_sound-1.0.3-w5', and from http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_net/ ... 2.8.tar.gz simply extracted/installed using pzip (I think). Then I made a symlink in "/usr/bin/java" to your java exec "usr/java/jre1.6.0_30/bin/java". Not really having the nous to construct a menu entry, I just used Xbindkeys to point to the dbgl exec script using the Win+g combo (for 'games'). Worked straight off the batAttention Linux users: Make sure you have the packages 'libsdl-sound' and 'libsdl-net' installed (sudo apt-get install libsdl-sound1.2 libsdl-net1.2), because otherwise the included DOSBox build will NOT run. /usr/bin/java should be (a symbolic link) pointing to the 1.5+ JVM (sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre). If you're having problems starting up DOSBox inside DBGL (some error message saying "Can't init SDL DirectFBCreate: Initialization error!") chances are you're using the GNU Interpreter for Java. It seems this Java distribution has a problem in the ProcessBuilder implementation. Please use openJDK or Sun's Java Runtime as a workaround.
Never seen that Dbgl thingy before... Nice... Added to repo!Puppyt wrote:I...went to install Ronald Blankendaal's "DBGL" (DOSBox Game Launcher) http://members.quicknet.nl/blankendaalr/dbgl/#install. ...I also downloaded the gamepack archives Blakendaal had provided for configuration examples, placing them (unextracted) in the same directory.
Akita needs only JRE and sdl_sound.. The latter will be added to the next ISO as standard...Then from your repository I installed 'dosbox-0.73-akita.pet' and 'jre-1.6.0.30-akita.pet' (and also boost-1.46.1.pet , on the assumption I might have needed it for SDL libraries). Not really sure if libsdl-sound was already in your boost package...
Updated the JRE pkg in the akita repo, it now has this /usr/bin/java symlink by default.Then I made a symlink in "/usr/bin/java" to your java exec "usr/java/jre1.6.0_30/bin/java".
Mupdf is in the now Akita repo... Click the update button (next to 'Filter' btn) in the PPM and Akita will update the repo and tell you what packages have been added.. Mupdf will be included in the list. It works very well.tommy wrote:Hi, I use Akita an love it for it is stripped down and can run on old PCs. One problem I have is: whenever I try to open a PDF file, epdfview or zathura give me a segmentaion fault and crash. I tryed to download Foxit pdf reader, but it gives me the same problem. If I open those applications without opening a pdf file, they open OK, but if I choose OPEN... pdf , they crash. The console says -Segmentation fault. This never happened with Turbopup on which Akita is based. Suggestions? The Pc is a pentium III 700 Mhz coppermine, BX chipset, 512MB ram + 512MB swap. Thank you in advance.

Akita uploads and runs fairly snappy but I can't get Firefox 13 or IceCat to load Facebook without major hangups. It's got plenty of RAM(1.75gb) and the CPU does reach 100% but just for a few seconds when starting to load. Any suggestion?

Do you have any tips about what the version mod is? Do you mean it reports as a newer version? And do you think it can be tried with any browser / any puppy or is it an Akita specific version? thxtechnosaurus wrote:p.s. I still use flash9.0.289+version mod
The script /usr/sbin/get-flash did do it for you....

For audio, see these links:But sound does not.
ALSAWizard finds a card (3 letters then 4 digit number) which I suspect is really an ISA card
If someone can tell me how to make it known to the filesystem that there's a soundcard there, that would be nice.
