TazPuppy 5.0 rc2

Result of running from terminal:

Code: Select all

sh-4.4$ cd /mnt/home
sh-4.4$ pwd
/mnt/home
sh-4.4$ tazpet inxi-2.3.8-noarch_all.pet
tar: invalid magic

sh-4.4$ tazpet /mnt/home/inxi-2.3.8-noarch_all.pet

I converted the pet to a tazpkg, which appeared to install correctly, however when I attempted run from terminal I got not found. TazPanel has it as Installed package, however it says 0 installed files. Doing a search finds the /var/lib entries and the script that is installed in another puppy, but not in this tazpuppy. Not sure what is happening here.



Edit: I uninstalled the converted tazpkg and installed slitaz inxi package which also installed some dependencies. So it appears that installing the converted pet/tazpkg did not do any dependcy checking.

screenshot below is after attempting to install converted package:

I tested version 15 -- frugal install went well - booted fast

Observations : Opening log-in window doesn't support tab key.
Instead I had to press ENTER to move to next field.

@don570 thats the problem of slim login manager. It cant support tab

@Terry H can you please gave me the download link of that pet package?

[Terry H]

@misfire, sorry I don't remember where I got it from. I could upload it if you want to check it.

[mistfire]

@Terry H I finally found the problem. TazPet installer extracts only gzip compressed pet packages. I revise the script and it now extracts xz or bzip compressed pet packages. Also an error message shown in tazpet-box if there is any error on extracting pet packages

[don570]

uextract does a good job of extracting packages

I found that ptmtimer will work if mpg321 or mpg123 is installed
I compiled mpg321 using devx file in first post.

[don570]

I installed devx and tried to compile mpg123 from sourceforge
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpg123 ... t/download

However I got this error

Code: Select all

/bin/grep: /usr/lib/libstdc++.la: No such file or directory
sed: /usr/lib/libstdc++.la: No such file or directory
libtool:   error: '/usr/lib/libstdc++.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make: *** [src/libout123/modules/output_esd.la] Error 1

The compile of mpg321 went smoothly with only
./configuration --prefix=/usr

_____________________________________________________

Also I have a suggestion...

There needs to be a right click menu for SFS files.
'Load_SFS' is used by some puppy distros.
It is useful for the devx sfs.

Also I noticed a strange problem with gtkdialog...

The launching from a button didn't work.
Try this example in tazpup. I couldn't get it to launch DIALOG.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

#
# Some action function types are still missing.
# See execute_action() for more information.
#

GTKDIALOG=gtkdialog

DIALOG='

	<vbox>

@don570
Try to change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash on your script

If you want to sfs modules just double click the sfs files and click Load modules

load_sfs of tazpuppy can also load slax and porteus modules

My first-time user comments.

While testing version 16 installed to a USB Sandisk Cruzer Edge,
I noted that booting after the savefile process;
"Keyboard Layout Handler Settings"
country flags have disappeared, leaving in my case GB text only.

Midori is hopeless, TazWeb browser isn't much better and has
best described as, unrefined sticky page issues with bookmarks.

So from the on-demand features, I downloaded Firefox 17.0.11 esr
and VLC which run ok.
Just a pity being an elderly Firefox, due to lack of feature-support, U-Tube can't run.

I run world radio-station playlists and VLC makes a good job
of handling those lists to a stereo hi-fi system.
IceCast stations works ok too.

Otherwise overall, a nice tidy small distro - well done,
but needs consistent work to keep it modern and up to date.
Best regards.

[don570]

to Mistfire

Would you check this script...

https://fossies.org/linux/gtkdialog/exa ... _functions to see if DIALOG will appear.


The previous script I listed didn't copy correctly in the windows clipboard I guess.

[mistfire]

@don570

replace this line

Code: Select all

*) $GTKDIALOG --program=MAIN_DIALOG ;;

with this one

Code: Select all

*) $GTKDIALOG --center --program=MAIN_DIALOG ;;

[don570]

I discovered what is wrong....

You need to get the more recent version of gtkdialog

Code: Select all

root@TazPuppy:~# gtkdialog -v

(process:16323): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.
gtkdialog version 0.8.2 release (C) 2003-2007 Laszlo Pere, 2011-2012 Thunor
Built with additional support for: Glade, VTE.

I dragged over the version from the recent dpup stretch 7.5 32 bit
version and that upgraded tazpup to gtkdialog version 8.4.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=112125

Then I checked the launch button and it works now.
By the way DIALOG is the function that the button launches.
Thunor wrote the script.
____________________________________________________

I assume radky got gtkdialog from HERE


Now ptmtimer log feature works.

Code: Select all

root@TazPuppy:~# gtkdialog -v

(process:16722): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.
gtkdialog version 0.8.4 release (C) 2003-2007 Laszlo Pere, 2011-2012 Thunor
Built with support for: GTK+ 2, Glade, VTE.

Would you check if either mpg123 or mpg321 will compile???

I installed newest beta 18
I couldn't run 'configure' but 'make' command does work.

[don570]

Also various default apps that BarryK supports need to be setup.

Code: Select all

defaultaudioplayer
-sh: defaultaudioplayer: command not found
root@TazPuppy:~# defaulttexteditor
/usr/local/bin/defaulttexteditor: line 2: exec: beaver: not found

[mistfire]

@don570 yes it is, but you must load 32-bit devx sfs module from any puppy.

[mistfire]

TazPuppy beta 19 released

Changes:
* Added support for older pet packages. (Pre-woof era packages dated 2009 below)
* gtkdialog 0.8.4 is now used.
