Maybe you can add these important libraries :
- libpng16.so.16 (needed by 0ad , urbanterror , libreoffice etc.)
- libSDL_mixer-1.2 (needed by sauerbraten etc.)

I hope "update-mime-database" will be added for firefox and seamonkey to work ok.

noticed in werewolf : init should be in /sbin and not in /bin . lsmod is in /bin and /sbin , but should be in /sbin only.

windows programs to burn linux .iso file into usb flash driv

#34 Post by WB7ODYFred »

I tried registering at http://barryk.org/news/?do=register but I don't receive email to set password. Therefor I post here, to comment on Windows USB FLash writer.

Check out Windows single file Rufus.exe http://rufus.akeo.ie I have used rufus.exe many times and recommend it to new users coming from windows to test drive puppylinux.

or Look at http://www.linuxliveusb.com LiLi to create a bootable USB Flash drive from many different Linux distributions including puppylinux.

My own blog post that describes creating a PuppyLinux bootable USB flash drive. http://puppylinux-or-pcbsd.blogspot.com ... ux-or.html

Search for USB and author wb7odyfred on http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy or search with http://wellminded.net63.net

Can this post be Stickied for beginning users? When I started from Windows to create a working version of PuppyLinux in a USB Flash drive. this would have been helpful.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=101366

Another similiar post on creating a USB Flash drive from Windows.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=100169

User EricBenner wrote up his HowTo do a Full Hard Drive install
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 9&start=15

Howto Create a Live CD from Windows XP
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 1&start=15

Thank you Barry for allowing me to Use PuppyLinux and for creating all
these tools. Like MoManager.

Went ahead and made another Fat32 partition for data in the unallocated space on the drive, so Gparted is working.

#39 Post by ETP »

Continuing to test with 8GB image installed to 32GB USB3 stick. (3rd [f2fs] partition created in unused space)
Have now thrown the Out house sink at it including:
  • Minidlna_1.1.5
    Firefox 45.0.2
    Thunderbird 45.0 (Just released)
    Google Chrome Stable 50.0.2661.75
    vlc 2.2.2
    gdisk_1.0.1
    tree_1.7.0-3
It is holding up well & I will test the Bluetooth next when a new battery for my 10 year old mobile phone arrives.

Full sized screen-shot here: (Press F11 to toggle into full screen then click on link)

Hi Barry,
I am testing some games and programs, and you could also add these 2 more small libraries : (plus 2 others asked before)
- libplibjs.so.1 (for programs like Ardour, Speed Dreams etc)
- libSDL2-2.0.so.0 (for programs like Warsow, steam, Volgarr , The Witcher 2 etc)
.iso is coming, I have faith.
Cheers.

I have sorted out Bluetooth, it now remembers after a reboot -- well, only tested my mouse so far.

The woofCE developer guys will probably be interested, if they have not yet got Bluetooth setup.
I have created a template, package-templates/bluez, that the woofCE guys can use -- when I get around to uploading the latest woofQ.
I have also modified my 'bluepup' PET, not yet uploaded -- that is a GUI for bluez.

Oh, one more thing. I used /etc/init.d/bluetooth in the bluez template, taken from LFS (Linux From Scratch), and it calls functions in /lib/lsb/init-functions, but some do not exist.

'init-functions' is in the 'lsb' template, which woofCE also has. It was modified a long time ago to be puppy-compatible.

I checked the latest init-functions file in Ubuntu, but it also does not have those functions.

So, I have added them to 'init-functions' in the 'lsb' template, in woofQ. Another one the woofCE guys can grab.

I intend to upload woofQ as soon as Quirky Xerus final is released.

I am surprised that you are reporting that.

I just now tested, click on a .png file opens in Viewnior. Click on a .xz file, a window popup offers to expand it.

This is due to an old /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, part of the 'fontconfig' package, but Quirky is using an old file modified for Puppy and in the packages-templates/xorg_base (in Woof, still and woofQ, maybe still in woofCE).

Seems doesn't need the <blank> tag anymore, have removed from fonts.conf.

Ha ha, have run into a problem with using the full 'tr' utility from 'coreutils', see my blog report:

http://barryk.org/news/?viewDetailed=00334

The next build will have the busybox tr.

Bill,
I would like to find out why you have to do this. My script that creates the image file, creates a file smaller than the actual size of my flash drive, so that it will work on other drives that although nominally the same size, might actually be a bit smaller.
So, my 16GB image is supported to fit in all 16GB drives.

This is how my script calculates the size of my drive:

Code: Select all

TARGETDRIVE='sdb'
FDISKINFO="$(fdisk -l /dev/${TARGETDRIVE} 2>/dev/null)"
SIZEBYTES=`echo "$FDISKINFO" | grep '^Disk /dev' | cut -f 5 -d ' '`
SIZEKB=`expr $SIZEBYTES \/ 1024`
SIZEM=`expr $SIZEKB \/ 1024`
echo "$SIZEM"
Would you kindly execute these in a terminal and let me know what value you get for SIZEM.

My 16GB drive gives SIZEM is 14784.

My script then does this:

Code: Select all

SPACEM=640 #under 16GB (case of 16GB drive)
SMALLER0M=`expr $SIZEM - $SPACEM` #some empty space at end of drive.
SMALLERM=`expr $SMALLER0M - 520` #take off size of 1st partition plus gaps 512+8
ONE8TH=`expr $SMALLERM \/ 8`
FINALM=`expr $ONE8TH \* 8`
...where FINALM is the size created for the second partition.
