Puppy Squeeze 009 Development

[01micko]

01micko, can you build a good ffmpeg and mplayer? Let's just try both. xine is dead in 002 because it has tons of dependencies in Debian, same goes for mplayer. They're simply huge.

I did so before, can do it again (hopefullly , no need getting too cocky),

In Lupu I also tried to compile gxine/xinelib.. epic fail.

Be aware that the iso will grow somewhat. There are a ton of libs needed for a good ffmpeg, which IMO is the best, lightest media 'library' around. Compiling shared libs for ffmpeg seemed to work well. I'll give some things a try and hopefully there will be good multimedia support in this thingy.

(appendix... keep with 'dpup' monicker IMO for iso.. there are no toes to be trodden on )

Cheers

Laptop touchpad tapping works in 001 but not in 002 for me - adding: Option "TapButton1" "1" to xorg.conf works for one double tap directly after restarting X then it reverts to not working again?

On the 002 version, i added the above package for vlc-1.1.0-i486-dpup.pet to work. Works great now - worked out of the box on 001.
see:
http://puppy.b0x.me/software/packages/m ... 6-dpup.pet
or
http://puppy.b0x.me/software/packages/m ... 6-dpup.pet
if you need the minimal qt deps of libqtcore and libqtgui.

stu90: tommorow I plan to do some experiment, add some minimal xorg.conf. That could solve the touchpad problems ... I work on my Core 2 Duo desktop machine because my netbook has an Atom processor and I don't want to compile stuff on it because of things like SSE3.

01micko: atm I'm working on ffmpeg. I'll try to make a good xine-lib too if it goes well

Hi there, I'm on dpup 002, running firefox because seamonkey segfaults and installing my 2.0.6 pet didn't solve the issue.
gtk-xfce theme engine seems to work ok.
Xorg works but I haven't tested any heavy games on it yet.
I still need to grab devx and maybe try to recompile seamonkey.

[Iguleder]

Can you compile just the browser and mail components? And maybe xchat with auto-connect? I tried your xchat PET and no auto-connect.

Try to install libssh2, maybe the segfaults happen because curl needs it.

EDIT: we could use chatzilla if it's good enough and saves space, I know you like it ... you're the expert, it's all up to you

[dejan555]

It didn't segfault on webchat with libssh2 installed, also I tried loading nexuiz, I needed libvga.so.1 which is part of libsvga package and libx86, copied my xorg.conf from dpup and installed dri/sdl from squeeze. It ran but video lagged, it didn't freeze as in lupu's xorg though.

[Iguleder]

Try to install libgl1-mesa-dri, that's something dpup had. That's "Xorg High".

[dejan555]

yeah that's what i installed

[dejan555]

BTW

Code: Select all

# echo $TERM
xterm

xterm is a wrapper script in /usr/bin that uses rxvt so we need symlink to mrxvt-full for terminal to open in rox (right click -> window-> terminal here) same goes for many other apps I guess. also we need to set console icon for pinboard.

[Iguleder]

Ok, here it is, ffmpeg and xine-lib. MP3, MPEG-4 and x264 (FLV) confirmed to work on my machine.

I had to add some extra libraries to get better multimedia support ... they're in 003. I think it's libx264, speex and libvpx. I'll do a test build of 003 tommorow probably, with these plus all improvements since 002.

If libssh2 fixed the Seamonkey segfaults problem I think we're fine ... but I'd like to try to compile Seamonkey with just the browser and mail.

I installed 001 to a flash drive with boot flash once in 001 I updated the repos in ppm and installed fluxbox and weechat from the debian repos.
I can't get anything to compile, the devx is loaded supposedly.

[Iguleder]

Uploaded 003, 001 is very very broken, the devx works since 002.

Here's deadbeef, probably the best choice for the music player of 004.

EDIT: more stuff that will be present in 004, dejan is making a super-duper Seamonkey pet. Just found out that Osmo is broken in 003, here's a PET.

[dejan555]

Seamonkey 2.0.7 with mail/news built on dpup 002 with deltas applied:

seamonkey-2.0.7-i486-dpup.pet 13.43 MB

seamonkey-2.0.7-i486-dpup|seamonkey|2.0.7-i486-dpup||Internet|38180K||seamonkey-2.0.7-i486-dpup.pet||Seamonkey browser|debian|squeeze||

[Fishy]

Cannot download 003, md5's there plus deltas but iso appears to be corrupt

[Billtoo]

I downloaded 003 and installed it to a usb flash drive using bootflash.
I installed the devx and it does compile okay now.
I installed vlc-113-1,dosbox0.74,tunapie,fluxbox,moc,lxterminal,and
htop using the puppy package manager after updating debian repositories.

One big problem is no sound, it doesn't see my
Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller.
Also, vlc has to be run as user spot.

edit: I'm having fun with 001, I installed vlc to it from the ppm and it is working well, with sound too

[James C]

Updated the frugal install on the old P3 test box to Squeeze 003. Sound worked out of the box this time.
Back to testing................

Installed 003 adding to xorg.conf

Code: Select all

	Option "TapButton1" "1"
	Option "SpecialScrollAreaRight" "true"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "true"

gets touchpad tapping and scrolling working but throughs up another bug - on such as the Tabs View menu button in cosole for the menu to stay open a touchpad button needs to be held down or the menu imediatly closes, same thing from network tray aswell.

edit.
Deadbeef works nice
Transmission requires libevent-1.4 from package manager

cheers.

Report for all 003 Squeeze Agents

Shinobar, Jemimah and others offer a grub boot menu
with options such as pfix = ram on a
scroller) at boot up
- it still autoboots after 5 secs . . .
Is that better? A possibility?

Asked to probe my video resolution - simple enough set up
Auto connected to ethernet - me like
Changed time - default not even close

Prefer grey Lucid icon set used in 002 (small matter)

Chat - straight to IRC chat (using captcha) good
- need msn, yahoo etc - then meeboo available - simples

Quite happy to have Squeeze use same browser for help and
connection and that a fully featured browser (out of the box)
- two browsers was not an improvement for me
prefer one

mp3 worked straight out of the box (dragged mp3 into play icon)
- yeah baby!

Fatdog 64 browses as spot and downloads to a download
directory in spot (which you can move)
How easy to implement? Desireable?

Console is more powerful but low contrast defalt colour scheme = not good
Can the colour scheme be changed?

mention from Ttuxxx was made of a wallpaper viewer from HairyWill that displays the image - not suitable? Not implementable? Not there anyway . . .

Good to see gpic - was in dpup - very good program

Chrome-like GTK theme from dpup for dpup fans - me like

Puppy Dpup Squeeze
Puppy + Debian = woof woof

[raffy]

Like the colors and the prospect of smaller build - well done.

Can't wait for 004.

Lobster, is the guy Captain Dpup or Captain Squeeze?
