(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Yo Béèm,

Mixed news, I'm afraid:

File Transfer:

Looks like this will be properly closed only when we move to the
protocol 15 way of doing file transfer. I'll try to do something about
this.

Accented Chars:

Thanks George, I've put the fix in CVS. This one of those instances where
we were trying to convert from and to UTF8 since GTK1.x didn't do UTF8 by
default. This is no longer needed.

We are getting there,

Ayttm updated to 0.5.0_77

Status on the -77 release.

File xfer:
Still not fixed. Xfer towards Ayttm in Yahoo starts without asking permission to receive. Xfer not done in reality.
Xfer from ayttm still ok.

Accented characters:
Seems to be solved.

Connect to msn:
No change, still not possible.

I will be on a 10+ days leave.
I'll see when back, if a new version is available for testing.

ayttm crashed, when I installed localfiles from an older version.
the problem persisted after compiling _77 from CVS.
I found out, that the reason is the chat, that is run via the autologin.

I could solve it like this:
opened in leafpad:
ayttm/src/chat_window.c

With "save as", I saved it, with encoding set to "utf-8".
Compiled again, no more crashes, though some german characters still are not displayed correctly in the interface in some dialog windows.
Also far not all strings seem to be translated, I wonder if they just miss, or if this is another conversion error.
I uploaded my version with locale files included:
http://dotpups.de/puppy3/dotpups/Instan ... y-i486.pet
To use webcams, you need libjasper:
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributio ... .900.1.pet

The pet includes the Puppy chat login script from Wolf Pup.
I compiled it in Muppy0084beta2, and did NOT test it in any other Puppy.

MSN disconnects very often alone "msn connection has been reset".

Sometimes, msn doesnt refresh when people go from offline to online.

One item I noticed different is on the list of who is on line. In the chat programs in the older puppy's the 'Online' list is alpha. In Ayttm how do this? Much easyer to see if a person you are looking for is on line if the list can be alpha sorted.

Two other items:

Would be nice to have the 'Room List' out of GAIM.

On Preferences Sound would like the option to play sound when your name is in a message, but not other times.

Yo NathanO,

For the chat room list:
go to the main window ( has Ayttm & version number as title ),
select the Chat pulldown, select New group chat,
leave the Chat Room Name blank but select your irc local account,
then click on the List public chatrooms button.

I think that gives you what you want.

The other two things, I would like too.

An alphabetical Online list would be great, I'd also like to see a count.

I would love to be able to get a different sound when my name -
or one of my aliases is mentioned.

I will report them on the Ayttm buglist although, strictly speaking,
they are actually requests for new features.

Ayttm updated to 0.5.0_79

This is fixed in the next Ayttm, to be in the next Puppy.

This is on the "Requested Enhancements" list.

Hi,
Installed the puppy408 and the _81 Ayttm version to test the file xfer.
From another yahoo account to ayttm, still not solved (im is still the same pidgin)
From ayttm to another yahoo account crash in file xfer now. This is a new issue.
Following is the crash info.

Trying to login to msn still gives the error

Yo Béèm,

I have added both your posts to the Ayttm Bug Tracker.

I think Siddhesh is currently working on the file transfer. He is, however,
very busy at his job. He mentioned recently that he had been at work
from 7 am to 11 pm. He also has a 2 hour train ride each way,
although he can get some sleep on the ride home.

The bad cookies problem, as I told you before, seems to hit some
people - including one of the Ayttm developers. I don't know what the
plans are. It is likely to be difficult to debug if it can't be reproduced.

GeoW

Hi GeoW.

Oh boy Siddesh has (discounting the 4 hrs travel) a 12 hour job.
Not allowed in Belgium anymore unless you are independent or the boss paying heavy on overtime bonuses.

He must look at his health first, it's too precious.

I had the understanding (reading Barry's blog) that the file xfer issue was solved. So it isn't. I'll be patient.

If I can help by doing dumps or other things to trap that cookies issues, I'll be glad to do so as not everyone has the issue.

I'll keep watching the product however.

Yo Béèm,

Thanks for your help. I'm sure if Siddhesh needs anything
specific he will let us know.

I was not clear enough. Sid said he is at work from 7 to 11
that's 16 hours - then add the 4 hour train commute.

And still, he often manages to work on Ayttm a little when
he gets home. I suspect that all the bigger enhancements
are being pushed to the weekend.

I agree completely, his health should come first. He seems
to be slowing Ayttm work a little. I cannot complain.

GeoW

GeoW,
We only can be in admiration that he works on ayttm and take some sleep in the 4 hours left.
I can live with 5 hours sleep for a while, but then I have to regain strength by sleeping more.

Give him greetings and a warning not to play too much with his health.

Having another issue with ayttm, I tried it to get support in the irc channel.
I didn't get a reply.
The question is: How can the fonts be set for the different windows.
Specially the message window has such tiny fonts I can hardly read.

Yo Béèm,

You can change the fonts in Ayttm's preferences.

Go to the main window - The little one with Ayttm 0.5.0-81 as its title.
From the Edit menu select Preferences, the first screen will have the
current font listed and a choose button.

Whoever chose the startup font has very good eyes or a huge monitor.
