Added to Bionicdog custom repo:

- Xlunch graphical app launcher, see info here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 32#1003532
Install with synaptic or apt-get:

Code: Select all

apt-get update
apt-get install xlunch
- And redshift-gui-lite, see info here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 92#1005692

Only difference is that it's packaged as deb instead of portable.
(and it will replace "redshift-gui" (if installed) )
Install with synaptic or apt-get:

Code: Select all

apt-get update
apt-get install redshift-gui-lite

XnviewMP - dependencies

#632 Post by josepinto »

HI,
I installed XnviewMP in BionicDog 64, installed all the dependencies listed with ldd but the program does not start.

Any ideas?

Hi josepinto, don't know what you did exactly, but... here's what I did:
From:
https://www.xnview.com/en/xnviewmp/#downloads
I downloaded and installed "Linux DEB 64-bit", with right-click > Install deb
Then xnview didn't run, needs libpulse-mainloop-glib0, so installing that made it work for me:

Code: Select all

apt-get install libpulse-mainloop-glib0

I Fred,

I downloaded and installed the same Deb and in the same way as you.

It works now, after installing that dependency.

What I do not understand is how you found it? Using ldd?

Thank you for your prompt reply.

BionicDog is doing almost what I want it to do.

Installing evince-common.. :(
Fred...pls help... :D :D
As an alternative to Evince you can try Qpdfview.
Less dependencies.

Not by using ldd, because it gave me "Not a dynamic executable" in this case.
I just ran xnview in terminal and the error came up about libpulse-mainloop-glib.so.0 not found.

High fan speed

#637 Post by josepinto »

Hi,
I have an Asus laptop with Core I5-7200 U CPU and the fan speed is very high.

I installed TLP and followed these instructions:
Edit the file /etc/default/tlp:

sudo nano /etc/default/tlp

and look for #CPU_MAX_PERF_ON_AC=100. Uncomment the line and save the file pressing CTRL+O

sudo tlp start

The kernel module asus_wmi is loaded.

Any ideas?

To replace this existing older package with the official evince Ubuntu package:

Code: Select all

apt-get purge evince
apt-get install evince
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Sorry to report Fred,

It doesn't work still. Maybe I have too many apps in my BionicDog64...(?)
After purging, re install failed, with 2 broken packages.

I tried it 3 times.
Once with 'apt autoremove' & 'apt --fix-broken install'.
Once with removing 'broken' packages in synaptic first.

That depends, probably you mean when using existing save storage ?
With existing savefile (or folder) used with openbox, I'm almost sure that it won't work properly, but when starting with fresh save it should be OK (if you use 64-bit, cinnamon version is 64-bit only)

Why in the hell should anyone do such? :shock:

Doesn't this mean it's only the initrd.xz and the vmlinuz which is BionicDog afterwards? :?

How to call it then, BDinnamon? :lol:

Doesn't make any sense to me! :idea: :?:

Yes, this is what I mean, because so many had to be installed. Now, I have already install with fresh save folder, install everything, compile gimp and dependency, etc. But now I have missing volume control. I've try PulseAudio Volume Control, but it seems not responding

32-bit compatibility

Hi, is there an equivalent to puppy's "32-bit compatibility sfs" for BionicDog64?

Thanks.

"32-bit compatibiiity SFS" equivalent for 64-bit DebianDogs

#645 Post by mikeslr »

Hi westwest,

Regarding your question in the above post, actually the debiandogs do it the same way as debian or ubuntu. Fred explained how, here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 430#890430, and in a couple other posts; one of which was because I wanted to run 32-bit Wine.

Disregarding Qui's desire for skype in the above post, the "recipe" is, open a terminal and enter the code:

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update

Do note, however, that as fred wrote, it will take a lot of time and space. It installs almost an entire operating system (sans applications).

Like mike said, adding 32 bit architecture,

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update

but you will facing a problem with overwriting /usr/share/doc and /usr/share/man. I resolve this by deleting all inside those folder. it's true this will use some space, but not much

Thanks, yes, for more clarity, if you get that "trying to overwrite" errors (or something like that) do not remove the man and doc folders in /usr/share, remove the files inside, this way:

Code: Select all

find /usr/share/doc -type f -exec rm -f {} \;
find /usr/share/man -type f -exec rm -f {} \;
find /usr/share/info -type f -exec rm -f {} \;
find /usr/share/gnome/help -type f -exec rm -f {} \;
find /usr/share/gtk-doc -type f -exec rm -f {} \;

I finally got around to installing this Cinnamon version to a USB drive a while back, and wanted to mention a few things I had made a note of - before I forget (yet AGAIN... oops... :roll: );

1) While booted/running from the BionicDog Cinnamon liveCD, I installed to USB stick using the included installer, pointing to the downloaded .iso file on my laptop's mounted hard drive. But - the finished stick wouldn't boot - throwing an error along the lines of "Cannot read 01-filesystem.squashfs - corrupted module?"... or something close to that.

I booted up a Puppy CD, mounted the BionicDog Cinnamon USB stick and deleted the 01-filesystem.squashfs - then mounted the downloaded BionicDog Cinnamon .iso and copied/pasted its 01-filesystem.squashfs back over to the original's location on the USB stick. It now boots fine! Multiple boots, savefile/changes .dat created... all good.

So indeed, it appears as if the 01-filesystem.squashfs may be being corrupted during USB installation, somehow...?

2) The .desktop file for "Create Savefile" was missing - I just copied over one from my StretchDog mklive build (from the /usr/share/applications/ directory) - all now works, and icon shows and launches the program from the menu.

I've used Cinnamon in various distros in the past, and it's quite pleasantly surprising how fast and responsive this Dog feels in comparison - very cool!! 8)

New ! Cinnamon version

Hi Moat,

Lest I set off on the wrong tack you wrote:

Would I be correct in assuming that you started by burning the downloaded ISO image to optical media?
If so, what OS and burning app did you use to do that?
