mhwaveedit 1.4.20

#91 Post by don570 »

I made a pet package of Mhwaveedit 1.4.20

using Lighthouse 4.43.

Code: Select all

./configure  --without-oss --with-default-mixerapp=alsamixer --without-portaudio --without-sdl --without-alsalib --without-oss --without-jack --without-check-casts
I've been using the past couple of days and it seems fine.

Both Lupu-510 and LupQ-006 has mhWaveEdit 1.4.16.
Will you teach me why Mhwaveedit 1.3.20?

version correction

#93 Post by don570 »

Sorry. I slipped up. I should have written a 4 for the 3.

________________________________________________________

By the way have you ever considered distributing lupq
as a tarball rather than a ISO , since you want the ISO to
be very small you could distribute the ISO , Opera and
Read me files in various languages all together as one tarball package.

UTF-8 encoding selection on some locale

#95 Post by shinobar »

The countrywizard on LupQ-006 and older does not show the dialog choosing UTF-8 encoding or not in some locale, for example hu_HU.
Use 'more...' from the combobox, or install countrywizard-0.7.pet.
You need not have to install the pet if you have no problem in use

Ghostscript font issue - a solusion

#96 Post by shinobar »

This issue exists in both Lucid Puppy, LupQ/Lupu.
You can find samples of PDF and PS files in '/usr/share/examples/ps-pdf'.
'Acrobat.pdf' is readable but 'colorcit.ps' cannot.

Install gsfonts-8.11-lup.pet from here. It should solve the PDF/PS display and printing issue.

This solusion can be tentative because the file is too large. Fullset of gsfonts from Debian squeeze is 4.8MB after installed.
Next step is how to cut down...

EDIT on 31 Aug 2010:

Fontmap-8.11-lupu-1.pet should be the answer for the cutdown'ed.

Ghostscript font issue and Fontmap

#98 Post by shinobar »

rcrsn51 wrote:Using this font package, ePDFView will now print all my test PDF documents in Lupu.
Thanks for testing.
The key issue is the Fontmap for hinting.
The '/usr/share/default/Type1/Fontmap' is just a renamed one of the '/etc/ghostscript/fontmap.d/10gsfonts.conf' from the sqweeze gsfonts package.
I think we can arrange the Fontmap for our font set of cut down version.

I dropped the Fontmap file from your gsfonts PET into Lupu and changed the paths from "type1/gsfonts" to "default/Type1". I tested a few PDFs and they printed correctly.

There are still references in Fontmap to non-existent fonts that will need to be changed.

Ghostscript Fontmap

#102 Post by shinobar »

Thanks rcrsn51, it works but i made some change from yours:
Bold, Italic, Bold Italic - use corresponding NimbusSanL or NimbusRomNo9L
Bookman, Century - use NimbusRomNo9L

Hope to be better.

That's much better. I will post your version in the other thread.

Thanks.

Great, upnorth!
It does automatically, must be safer than editing it by hand.
I don't have enough test files, but i believe it should work.

# gs -q -sFONTPATH=/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 genfontmap.ps > /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/Fontmap

One question is the script seems looking up also in the directory /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF, but it would not harm i suppose.

Fontmap-8.11-lupu-1.pet

#105 Post by upnorth »

Yes, that script seems to make a large file with everything in it. I downloaded the Fontmap-8.11-lupu-1.pet, because it has a much cleaner Fontmap file.

I don't have a printer hooked up or any extra fonts, but installing the Fontmap-8.11-lupu-1.pet file allows the color circle postscript file to be viewed in epdf.
Good work Guys! :) Thanks.

Hi,
(on lupq006 frugal + fr_BE locale + countrywizard-0.7.pet + lang_pack_fr-lupq-0.1.pet)
have installed both
Fontmap-8.11-lupu-1.pet
gsfonts-8.11-lup.pet
(not any other fontfile installed)

Great ! it solves the error

Code: Select all

# gv rf07kbs.ps
Error: /invalidfont in /findfont ...
(see previous post on page3)
while opening a .ps file

Abiword: OK! it displays TimesnewRoman bold police

many thanks to you all (shinobar, rcrsn51, upnorth ) !
Cheers, Charlie

Next release plan

#107 Post by shinobar »

Merci Charlie. Your testing report was the start of this story.

LupQ-006 plus bugfixes done the last one week seems mostly content. I am going to release next version in couple of days.

I will remove components from the current, that is IceWM and Simple Network Setup.
The major reason is that I like the LupQ to be simple for users especially for beginners. And the cost of maintaining and developing.

The Lupu and LupQ up to 006 has 2 window manager, JWM and IceWM. JWM is the startup and the user can switch to IceWM in 2 cases:
The first case, some problem on JWM may disappear on IceWM. The second, the person likes IceWM rather than JWM. I do not discuss on the second case.
Yes JWM has some problem but IceWM may have another.
How the users do? Try and error, go and back between the 2 options.
How the developers do? Look for the counter measure against both JWM problem and IceWM problem.

In the menu, you can find the configuring tools both for JWM and for IceWM, but which works for the current window manager? It can confuse the users.
So I like to remove IceWM and keep JWM for the main release. Another options shall be provided as the additional PETs. But the proper IceWM pet is not available now. Hope someone makes a good one.

I can say the same things on the Simple Network Setup(SNS). SNS itself is simple, but the Network Wizard is still essential to fill the lacking feature of the SNS. And switching between the two can be annoying and/or confusing.
Every time facing bug reports, we have to ask 'Which tool did you try?'.
I know no one is responsible to maintain the Network Wizard now. But the community can do, i hope, if we take efforts focused on it.

How do you think?

I agree with you. «Keep it simple» is often an interesting way.

Hi,
this is something strange...
1. on lupq-006 fresh live-cd session + just setup locale to fr_Be keyboard and GMT+2
Menu/System/System schedule/Puppy Event Manager do not display the pup event dialog box

2. it works instead on lupq-006 fresh live-cd session without any locale nor GMT setup change; or when back from fr_BE to US locale ;

this happens whatever countrywizard version, 0.5 or 0.7.

3. something else now: the usb stick icons keep displayed after unplugging them, and even after reboot with not any usb stick plugged in ...?!
Also even after ticking "redraw drive icons" in the puppy event manager (...got this working by setting locale back to US locale as in paragraph 2. above);
(hmmm...I also believe I possibly have damaged something in removing some applications - see below).

this happens on lupq006 frugal + fr_BE locale + countrywizard-0.7.pet + lang_pack_fr-lupq-0.1.pet
+ removed: all games + homebank + icewm components
+ added:
countrywizard-0.7
lang_pack_fr-lupq-0.1
Firefox-3.6.6-Lucid
Wine-1.1.43-Lucid
gsfonts-8.11-lup
Fontmap-8.11-lupu-1
numlockx-1.1
galculator-1.3.4-i386
mtPaint-3.34.55
poedit_1.4.2-3_forPuppy412-i686
pfind_NLS-4.x
pfind-4.19 (do'nt know which version lupq-006 is featured with)

note that when plugging again the usb sticks, they can be mounted/unmounted without problem

Cheers, Charlie

Seems the French translation is broken. I will check it up.
