Hi Fred

can I edit mklive-stretch for build only Debian Stretch?

I was building Debian Stretch with Will Haley tutorial, is good, but is copy paste in terminal.

with your script will be more easy.

thanks.

Hi Andres, can you be more specific about what's your question exactly ?

Updated "gifenc" (convert video to .gif)

Added checkbox for low quality, which makes possible very small size, demo gif below attached is just under the allowed size limit for an attachment (243KB)
Duration is almost 30 sec, frames per second = 4, size = 300 (all at the cost of quality of course)
EDIT: Source video screencast is created by weX, see here for weX info:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=107905

Install gifenc or/and wex with synaptic or apt-get

EDIT2: I should mention that probably the trick for such small size is to select "scale 1 / 2" in weX (makes it half the size), so that the source video is very small already.

EDIT3: Also: setting frames per second (fps) in weX to very low, e.g. 5 will result in much smaller video size.

Cross-posting this from http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 345#981345 (Fred's portable Firefox Quantum with apulse preconfigured thread) so rcrsn51 will see it:

I am not using this, I made my own before Fred came out with this, but I upgraded to Firefox 58 last night and it broke the sound. A little bit of googling seems to indicate they've tightened up the sandbox security a little more.

Going to about:config and changing security.sandbox.content.level from 3 to 0 made the sound work again, but I am under the impression that turns off a lot of security stuff. I am sure there is a better setting to use that will allow the sound and leave more of the sandbox security in place that rcrsn51 and fred will figure out.

I'll cross post this in the Debian Stretch thread to rcrsn51 will see it.

I originally got this setting from OscarTalks and continue to use it in each new FF update.

But he may know a better, more secure way.

I'll send a PM to Oscar Talks giving him a heads up.

I am mostly using the Debian builds of Firefox-ESR in my Stretch and Wheezy puppies.
They recently released 52.6.0 for both of those.
They are compiled for alsa so do not require apulse.
They do need libgtk-3 but that is included in Stretch and Wheezy so no problem there except that themes are very limited.

I did briefly test FF Quantum 58.0 in Wheezy.
Sound in YouTube was working with a user.js file like this inside the profile directory:-

Code: Select all

// for using apulse with latest firefox
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.level", 2);
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.write_path_whitelist", "/dev/snd/");
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.syscall_whitelist", "54");
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.read_path_whitelist", "/dev/snd/");

This only reduces the sandbox level from 3 to 2
I believe the number 54 only applies to 32bit and is different for 64bit.
To be honest I would not be too concerned about running with sandbox at 0 but I guess it is up to the individual user.

OscarTalks wrote:// for using apulse with latest firefox
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.level", 2);
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.write_path_whitelist", "/dev/snd/");
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.syscall_whitelist", "53");
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.read_path_whitelist", "/dev/snd/");

Thanks ! that works for 32 bit.
For 64 bit I 've found that 53 should be changed to 16.

Code: Select all

// for using apulse with latest firefox 64 bit
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.level", 2);
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.write_path_whitelist", "/dev/snd/");
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.syscall_whitelist", "16");
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.read_path_whitelist", "/dev/snd/");

I will update the portable Firefox Quantum later today with these settings included.
And thanks to dancytron.

EDIT: Upgraded portable version to 58.0, see here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=112376
Deb packages v58.0 (preconfigured with apulse settings) are here:

Hi everyone

My first post - sent a previous one off to new topic - sorry

In synaptic I can't change the size of the panels.

The scroll wheel does not change from one panel to another.

What is the best way to install virtualbox?

Thanks.

Posted: **Mon 29 Jan 2018, 07:01**

In my previous post I meant to use scroll wheel from one desktop to another.

How do I edit a post?

Yes, that doesn't work (with openbox/xfce combination), but can be fixed (not easy though), described here:
http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:XFCE/Openbox

Also, if you notice scrolling the wheel to change between virtual desktops skips one or another virtual desktop (and this bothers you and would like to fix it just for mental sake), open your ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml file and move the mouse binds with actions "DesktopPrevious" and "DesktopNext" from the context "Desktop" to the context "Root" (you may need to define the Root context).

So, in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml from line with <context name="Desktop"> till the end of <context name="Root"> (line 732 to 810) becomes:
(all sections containing "GoToDesktop" moved to context named "Root")

Code: Select all

    <context name="Desktop">
      <mousebind button="Left" action="Press">
        <action name="Focus"/>
        <action name="Raise"/>
      </mousebind>
      <mousebind button="Right" action="Press">
        <action name="Focus"/>
        <action name="Raise"/>
      </mousebind>
    </context>
    <context name="Root">
      <!-- Menus -->
      <mousebind button="Up" action="Click">
        <action name="GoToDesktop">
          <to>previous</to>

        </action>
      </mousebind>
    </context>

EDIT: For info, you can also use keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+left or Ctrl+Alt+right for to switch to next or previous desktop (if these shortcuts are set, not sure if it is on your install)

Instructions for to install virtualbox, here:
https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox#Debi ... Stretch.22

In synaptic I can't change the size of the panels.

Yes, well, it's possible, but hard to do, it's because of the cursor theme not playing well with gtk3 (probably using "aero" now ?)
Can be fixed by using other cursor theme, e.g. dmz-cursor-theme;

Code: Select all

apt-get install dmz-cursor-theme

And set it to that in "Customize look and feel"

Here is an automated method for converting the Palemoon browser into a squashfs module.

Unpack the attachment below. It is NOT a fake .gz file!
It contains a script and a How-To file. Read the file first.

Important: Run these scripts in a CleanMode setup so they don't conflict with any currently installed versions.

And here are the matching scripts for OpenOffice and LibreOffice. For the Kingsoft WPS Office suite, read here.

Fred

Thank you for all the information. I got used to doing things my way, but it is no sweat to learn doing it differently. synaptic is just easy to do a quick search. apt-get is still my preferred way to install programs.

Now my serious question: Can I use Debian 9 (Stretch) as my main Linux program? Are you going to keep developing it for the foreseeable future? I really like openbox and the way you set it up. I have looked at Barry Kauler's new directions, but he seems to get bored and then he goes off in another direction. Also he is not using Debian, which I prefer.
