I have compiled Darktable-0.8.0 at SnowPuppy midphase time. There has been 3 updates after that. Now I compiled Darktable-0.9.2. Again the Polarpup multimedia libs benefits, but I needed to include to the pet quite a lot new stuff, like gphoto2 cli binary, openexr, lcms2 needed to compile and quite a lot pics manipulation libs.
Note:Darktable is not Polarpup spesific, it should work in other Lucid Puppies also. Libexiv2 could be needed, maybe some other libs, but they should be in ubuntu lucid repos.
Darktable is a photography workflow application: a virtual lighttable and darkroom for photographers: it manages your digital negatives in a database and lets you view them through a zoomable lighttable. it also enables you to develop raw images and enhance them.

Locales and some docs are in same Pets folder. Manual is not precompiled in. It needed some obscure dependency, I didnt bother to hunt it.

Dear pemasu,

I noticed from your latest post regarding PMusic that you have compiled a new version of ffmpeg (ffmpeg-0.8.4). Any chance of posting it - and also the dependencies - here?

With thanks and kind regards,
vovchik

Sure. The dependencies are for Dpup Exprimo which means av* libs are compiled using debian squeeze base and the included needed libs are from debian squeeze repo. But anyway, it should work just fine in Lucid Ubuntu based Puppies also. You just need to hunt possible missing libs. Libusb might need at least symlink to the existing one in /lib.

I will upload the ffmpeg-0.8.4 to the pet_packages-exprimo repo now.
http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_pack ... -0.8.4.pet

Those libs and dependencies I needed are in that pet already. Extract the pet and check.
Launch the ffmpeg in console and you get error of missing lib. Hunt it, include it and launch again.

Dear pemasu,

Thanks a million. Your version works perfectly with Lucid. I did not even have to search for any extra libs. How nice :)

With kind regards,
vovchik

Thanks for your wonderful Puppy options. I'm really liking Polarpup. I'm surprised it isn't more popular as it really is a well-equipped package.

Just curious about a couple of things, it says that Polarpup 4/5 has Firefox 6 installed but it seems to be Firefox 5. Do you recall how it differs from the one in Polarpup 3?

Also, I can't seem to work out what is meant to be the chief difference between Polarpup, Icepuppy and Midnightsun. Are they meant to be progressively newer versions (Polarpup being the newest) or alternatives to each other?

Oh. I havent noticed if I have created the latest Polarpup with Firefox 5.

All my builds are a little different. Different libs and apps or different kernels. Only common factor is that I have played with my own kernel compiles. Polarpup has my compiled latest Qt libs inbuild. That is the main feature for it. Icepuppy and Snowpuppy have qt libs also but not as whole as in Polarpup. And I have development - compiling environment for it also in Polarpup. Shamely there hasnt been so much nice new updates anymore in free qt apps announcement pages nowadays.

Snowpuppy, Icepuppy and Polarpup are all lucid puppy variants, made by using woof. Snowpuppy and Icepuppies have different kernels. Snow Puppy 2.6.35.7 and Ice Puppy was the test build for 2.6.38.4. Polarpup uses now 2.6.39.3 kernel.
So...most lucid puppy pets works in them.
Lucid Puppy has been freezed to the woof of almost one year old. I use always the latest woof of the build time. So my builds does not follow recent Lucid Puppy path. I have updated and compiled apps also independently. So my builds might have bugs which are covered in official version. But also a lot things are fixed through woof.

I'm not sure if I'm right. In Polarpup 005 the useragent says Firefox 5 and the library path is /usr/lib/firefox-5.0 but some pages back you mentioned that Polarpup 004 and 005 have Firefox 6.

Thanks again for your fine work, I thought the thread was worth elevating as it was getting lost in the past. It's a shame when a good Puppy variant gets forgotten.

Pemasu,
I am searching for a Puppy for my EeePC 900a, which either has or could have added easily to it all the function keys and fan controls, etc.
I know you are now busy with other things, but could you recommend if that would be either of your Puppies; Polar or Snow or Ice, and what else would need to be added?
I would really like control close to what Fewt's Jupiter control addition provides...
Thank you so much,
CA

Yes I would want that too and Zigbert asked something
similar for his Asus 1001? in a separate thread. ???
So if you know which handle Fn keys and fan and such
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

All my puplets have easy xbindkeys tool and in menu > utility > Xbindkeys Config tool.
I have added generic laptop support with it. Customizing is also easy with it. Just play with it.
About Asus EEE netbooks. At my early Snow Puppy building time there was still Asus EEE netbook puplet Puppeee which was specialized to them.
I didnt have need to study that thread much. Also...I dont have EEE netbook so I cant do any tests.
It would be easier for me....if somebody knows the spesicif need of some kernel module. I can lend my hand to compile it and help to configure it if needed like kernel module for fan control.
But...right now I dont have time to study what spesific needs there are for EEE netbooks. I am going to pack whole evening and tomorrow I leave to Lapland for a week. We could start this conversation again when I am back.

Sorry to bother with a stupid question!!!

#402 Post by e_jouan »

Hi I am used to programming in Visual Studio in Windows XP and slowly moving to Linux for my developments (i do prototypes)

I am not so familiar with all the techs but i really love puppy ( i currently have Puppy 5.3 slacko installed)

You seem very active and i want to try your cold puppys ;-) but if you can spare some time i have a dumb question on qt4 and grab some of your brains if you permit ;-)

I downloaded qt4 pet file and it seems to install fine, then I search for executables and find only the qtconfig and some qt assistant but no qt creator?
Do i need to execute a make command of some sort to run or have i missed some instructions (which i have searched for)

I appreciate your time and your reply...

Thanks for your nice work Emmanuel

I have moved the other apps to the qt dev pet. Install the corresponding qt dev pet and you get the missing binaries.

In Polarpup, you get those missing binaries by installing according devx sfs. By bootmanager of by sfs_load.

Hmm....you possibly mean that there is no wireless icon in tray. That usually happens if the frisbee-tray loads before your wireless kernel module has been loaded and the wireless is ready for action.

Open /root/Startup/frisbee-tray file and add as first line:
sleep5
and save the file. To be paranoid, add: sleep 10
but that is extreme measure, but I have used it as generic solution.

If you mean something else, you need to elaborote your meaning more.

Thnx for the quick response.
I mean to say that, we saw LAN eth0 Activity Icon in Taskbar by default in All Puppies (where the two small monitors shows the upload and download speed of LAN).
Hope U got my point. Sorry for inconvenience.

Hi Pemasu:
I am still enjoying Polarpup-005 on my Thinkpad R60 laptop. Lately Firefox was updated automatically to version 10. It is working OK. However, the flash player was not updated and FF is now incompatible with this old version of Flash player. How can I update the flash player? Polar 005 doesn't have a "get flash player" tool built in. Could you please help.
Thanks!
P. S., BTW, I also enjoy Snow puppy 014 (best fit) on my older Thinkpad 600X.

Try this pet. I dont know if something is missing. but you know soon.

Install the pet and launch in console: getflash

That way you know if it errors and it give you some error message which you can post if it does not work.
