Pelo,

Try the instructions here. https://www.flickr.com/groups/photivo/d ... 170578959/

Someone has already compiled it and put in it's own repository. Just add to the sources.lst file and install like anything else.

wireless is easier with Xenialdog.

#317 Post by Pelo »

Merci. I run my Xenialdog Pendrive to day, jan1, 2017 because my puppies hardly keep connected to Wreless (very weak since Christma) Wicd gets slow but permanent connection. As an user i must feed back when Xenialdog has better Results than Puppy Linux. It's not usual, but wireless is easier with Xenialdog.
I have a lot of christmas pictures to edit and post to diaries. And family, and friends.

Lazpaint : pet was transformed into SFS by the system.

#319 Post by Pelo »

Lazpaint (Base on Lazarus, for information for linuxians devs) installed without trouble in XenialDog, pet was transformed into SFS by the system.
Lazpaint will easily get 3D without loosing quality.

Pelo, try this in terminal for photivo:

Code: Select all

echo -e "\ndeb http://ppa.launchpad.net/dhor/myway/ubuntu xenial main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list   # add the ppa to package listing
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 93330B78   # add key to the keyring
apt-get update   # update the package lists
apt-get install photivo
Happy New Year Everyone !!! :)

i hope 2017 will be happy for everybody kindly working here

#321 Post by Pelo »

fredx181 thanks and i hope 2017 will be happy for everybody kindly working in the forum to get our computers efficient and fun.
Photivo seems to be a QT application not compiled. That gets my curiosity much less strong.. A new address must be add to those existing, photivo is not in debian software.. Wait and see.
I make some tries immediatly; if some difficulty, i give up..
:?:
gpg: requesting key 93330B78 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
?: keyserver.ubuntu.com: Network is unreachable
gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect: Network is unreachable

Post scriptum : since Christmas network is very bad (SFR). However Wicd succeds to-day to connect wireless. :) Merci XenialDog. Really nothing to blame about XenialDog.

Hmm... strange, works ok for me:

Code: Select all

root@xenial:~# apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 93330B78 
Executing: /tmp/tmp.TzXGw36JYz/gpg.1.sh --keyserver
keyserver.ubuntu.com
--recv-keys
93330B78
gpg: requesting key 93330B78 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: key 93330B78: public key "Launchpad PPA for Dariusz Duma" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)
root@xenial:~# 
Maybe try again?

(BTW, you can do without this trusted key, but then you always get warning/prompt y/n when installing packages from this repository)

WICD succeeds even with really weak wireless

#323 Post by Pelo »

When wireless is weak, i have to inform that Frisbee fails, and WICD succeeds. That is true for Other OS, especially DebianDog64. With my computer and in my zone.
WICD added in DebianDog64, removes automatically Frisbee

*** 2017-01-18 XenialDog ISO upgrade ***
First post has been updated

Edit: Updated to version 2017-01-22 now, see also here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 488#940488

Changes, fixes:

1. The script "snap" (for save on exit from console) in /usr/local/bin conflicts with binary with the same name from the "snapd" package.
Should be fixed in next ISO; a workaround for now: see here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 938#908938
2. Included gnome-player doesn't play CD's
It was because of mplayer not compiled with cdda support, fixed now by recompiling (with CD and DVD support)
3. Wbar replaced by cairo-dock (minimal version)
4. Kernel upgrade to latest version 4.4.0-59-generic, and all packages upgraded
5. Some other small fixes
6. Added: Quick-Remaster and Upgrade-kernel tools

Edit: Another change: Conky display of RAM usage is according to 'free', not to Htop as it was on previous version

Download: Edit: Updated to version 2017-01-22 now
Iso: XenialDog_32bit-openbox_jwm-2017-01-22-firmware-all.iso Size: 304MB
Md5sum: XenialDog_32bit-openbox_jwm-2017-01-22-firmware-all.md5

DEVX: 61-DEVX-XenialDog32-2017-01-18.squashfs
Locales: 99-locales-XenialDog32-2017-01-18.squashfs

Also 64-bit version coming up:

Hi fred !

Just started fooling around with your upgraded Doggie .

I put this new Xenial Dog on a Usb .

My boot menue:

title Xenial Dog - porteus-boot - save on EXIT changes=/XENIALDOG/changes folder
find --set-root /DEBIANSID/live/vmlinuz1
kernel /XENIALDOG/casper/vmlinuz from=/XENIALDOG noauto changes=EXIT:/XENIALDOG/casper/ ramsize=100%
initrd /XENIALDOG/casper/initrd1.x

My Machine :
old Toshiba Satellite 3000 1 Gig Ram

Prefere JWM over Openbox

First observation :

Frisbee Networks /Wlan works OOB (in contrast to the older Version )

Very low on Ram .......52 MegBites idle (showed in Conky ) .

Like that Doggie.
In case there is something wrong ...will report .

Thanks once again for your hard work and your kind attitude .
That`s all for the moment .

See you later and greetings fredX aka "Lord of the Dogs " :D

Thanks backi !!

Great that wireless works now for you, to be honest I can't really explain why (what exactly fixed it), but doesn't matter.

Same mistake I made as on XenialDog64: Pcmanfm "Open with..." doesn't show any applications to choose from.
(see also EDIT2 here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 972#939972 )
This can be easily fixed, in terminal:

Code: Select all

mv /etc/xdg/lxde-applications.menu /etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu
Edit: Another thing I am not happy with is the vertical display of the desktop drive icons.
If you have more than 5-6 partitions it will overlap the other icons.
Fortunately you can play with the settings of desktop_drive_icons to display where you want, or e.g. set to horizontal placement (which is better anyway IMO because it takes less space on the screen then).

Package desktop-drive-icons can be upgraded from version 0.0.1 (which is very old) to version 0.0.6 (latest from akash_rawal : http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 792#632792 )
To upgrade from terminal:

Code: Select all

apt-get install desktop-drive-icons
Or install via Synaptic

Improvements:
- Will display a second row if first is full (with version 0.0.1 some icons were not visible anymore if you have many partitions)
- More configurable (right-click > Settings)

EDIT: restart X to apply (probably the placement (X: and Y: ) needs to reconfigured in Settings)

*** New XenialDog ISO 2017-01-22 ***
First post has been updated

Again a new ISO after a few days ?
Well, to be honest, that's mostly for personal reasons.
Me being a perfectionist, couldn't stand that it was still not how I'd prefer.

Also, most important for me, I need to close a chapter, must take a break in creating stuff, always searching for new solutions, improvements etc..
Really need to pay more attention to "real life" e.g. my health (sitting so much at the computer is killing me)

I will still be around here, but nothing new from me in the near future (probably in spring or summer I will work again on a new DebianDog, when Stretch has arrived as the 'stable' branch)


Changes, fixes: (nothing much really)

1. Pcmanfm "open with..." shows applications to choose from now
2. Package "desktop-drive-icons" upgraded to newer version (and drive icons placed horizontally on the desktop now)
3. Added one more option to choose from in "Desktop Manager": Pcmanfm providing the desktop and Lxpanel bottom panel (for those who don't like tint2 or cairo-dock, it's a little heavier, but still very light)

Hi Fred,

Truer words could not have been spoken.....the bad I am doing to my body sitting at this computer for so many hours during the week is just unreal. I know I shouldn't be doing it, but I still do, despite back and hip bones grinding against one another, blood pooling in my legs, my posture very bad, and even my feet going numb. Yet I still will sit here. How dumb am I?? :roll: And I cannot imagine what it is like for those of you who develop and code these builds. We all are just killing ourselves. Even with one of those fancy rising desks, it doesn't do anything, as I still end up sitting back down after awhile.

Anyhow, take a good long break, get some exercising in, go see some friends face to face, and no more computer. Your creations and ddogs and their users will still be here, haha, that is if the sitting-police and/or grim-reaper haven't come to take us away first :shock:

Enjoy your break, and stay away from the computer until the flowers come out in full bloom this summer. Got a feeling we're going to get no Nordic cool breezes this summer and it is going to get brutally hot, just like it got brutally cold this winter.

Be good, my friend, and take care of yourself! :wink:

Thanks Belham, and you also change things to the better, that's an order!! :)

Just a quick spin of your latest 32 bit on my old dual-core Optiplex 380 desktop, Fred, but running and looking fantastic... congrats! I really need to work on wrapping my head around getting this set up w/savefile on a USB stick (as I am so used to with standard Puppies) - just too many great things about these Dogs (extra tools, quick remastering, Synaptic!) not to do so.

Two tiny things spotted so far on LxPanel - the funky slash in the date while hovering over the panel's clock (vaguely recall seeing something earlier 'bout this... will have a look/seek) and the panel weather widget won't find a location (an LxPanel/Yahoo regression thing, I'm sure).

Otherwise - beautiful, so flexible and fast! 8) Fonts look especially good, too. Thanks,

Bob

Good idea fred ......in my humble opinion .
Be good to yourself .......hanging a lot on the web like i do, can give some distorted relation to "real " life .
Your decision sounds like a sign of sanity .

Wish you all the best........and see you later :D :D :D
