LazY Puppy 2.0.2 Final - a Paradise Puppy

[minesadorada]

I gave LazyPuppy a quick test-drive in order to see Lazerus, but was surprised and pleased at the many UI improvements RSH has put into his Puppy version.

Even if you are not a Pascal coder, LazyPuppy is well worth keeping an eye on for general use.

I think it will be especially good for new Linux users to dip their toes, as the menu skill-level system is a good implementation, and I hope it gets adopted elsewhere.

I look forward to more developmentof Lazy from RSH after his break.

does Frisbee work on Lazy?

I installed it today but get an unusual error when connecting to the internet

I select network in Frisbee 'create profile'

When I enter SSID it says

'SSID not set'

Sorry, i do not know Frisbee. I also do not use any network connections and the internet connection that i do use is a mobile gprs modem, because i do use it on several computers in several places. I have written my own internet connection program (based on the standard wizard, wich mainly means, copied the code and removed unneeded parts for an easier use) to connect onto the internet using this mobile gprs modem.

LazY Puppy is based on Lucid Puppy 5.2.8-4, so all known and unknown problems of Lucid will be "available" in LazY Puppy.

On my "Home Workstation" i do use LazY Puppy 100% without using a save file. In my experience this is the mode wherein LazY Puppy seems to be most stable and does less problems. I began the work on LazY Puppy using the first version of lucid and because of the big sound (and other) problems i did realize LazY Puppy especially for a use without save file.

That's why the .sfs's are been loaded using the LazY Puppy sfs-loader-gui. Without using a save file you can easily load and unload the ,sfs's. Also i did never had any problems with sound etc.

So i do prefer:

1. Use it whenever it is possible without a save file.
2. In other cases do only install frugal - never do install full.


Sorry to be unable to give a bit more help on this issue.

Puppy 5.2.8-4 doesn't reproduce frisbee error, so I'm stumped - may look at wireless by commandline thread

-

what sort of problems did you have with SaveFile?

I have downloaded the frisbee and will give it a try in the next days. Must move to a friend of mine, to do this - so it takes a bit of time.

what sort of problems did you have with SaveFile?

As far as i know there are no problems using a save file. All Problems has been related to the first lucid 528 iso i did use. Especially there has been no sound after each and every first reboot using a new save file - and it won't fix (then).

Actually there is a problem with shutdown LazY Puppy using full install. I've been told so, but did never reproduce this. I do not use full install and i am not interested to install any puppy in full mode...

...frugal is best of all and if it doesn't work i use it without save file. To hold preferences, i create either .pet's (mostly) and install them after reboot or i do a remaster (less).

Actually i do install 5 .pet's after reboot and then executing one install script to set some path's and parameters. This is just once a day, so i can live with these 2 minutes to spend on this after reboot..

Some of my settings are moved onto the usb device (outside LazY) and then putting symbolic links (inside LazY) to these settings.

Works fine and lives much longer than every save file (possibly)!

Hi RSH glad you're back.

Should you still be on that expensive gprs connection this might be a hint ?

Here in Holland we have a lot of -free- wifi connections in libraries (Bibliotheken ohne Abonnement) und restaurants (Mac Donalds, Raststaette ?).

Taking it that Kassel is a relative big town, I presume you have them too. Why not give it a try. A cup of coffee or a glass of beer is probaly much cheaper than 1 minute on gprs (Aldi talk ?).

Hi RSH, I've loaded your Audio SFS on music2go pup. Works rather well (just tweaked the menu). The only problem is Bristol GUI AKS and Mixer are the only working virtuals - if I click on another a window the correct size opens, but then close

any ideas?

I forgot to post my improved version of Abispell
dictionaries. The important thing about it is that
it fixed the German dictionary which I hadn't packaged properly.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 453#604453

By the way if Geany is recompiled to accept
the plugin 'Spellchecker' then it can
be used as a simple word processor. See this thread

Here's a picture of spell checking using Geany.
Unfortunately the dictionaries are old.

Great news, got on line using LazY ; -)

Using Network Wizard ; -)

Regard Bristol GUI - most of the virtualisations don't seem to work. But I'm probably not setting it up correctly.

BTW you can improve the font rendering in firefox by un-commenting-out some code in /etc/fonts/local.conf

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts/local.conf file for local customizations -->
<fontconfig>
<!--  Enable sub-pixel rendering -->
	<match target="font">
		<test qual="all" name="rgba">
			<const>unknown</const>
		</test>
		<edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>
	</match>

RSH, have you tested CodeTyphnon PET I have sent you? Is there any chance to solve cross-compiling from Linux to Windows?

I am glad to be back with LazY Puppy too. But i have had to make a break again (the last 5 days). I did surely work too much between joining the forum and releasing LazY Puppy. And after that as well.

So the menu project is still running but needs time to release.

Regard the Internet Conniction - i do use now a cheaper solution for general use of internet. Only for uploads i have to use the expensive one - because of its speed.

I do use a desktop pc with most internal hard disk. It is not possible to me to work on my projects and use the internet outside home. Earlier i sometimes use internet cafe but in fact of one visitor did download illegal files the internet cafe owner was sentenced to pay a penalty about 5000,- Euro high. Now he did close all possibilities to download files from anywhere. Even my own files stored at mediafire are now unable to download.

This internet cafe has been the only location where i could boot my LazY Puppy to work online.

any ideas?

I have made an ISO based on Three Headed Dog and pursuing the concept of Lazy Puppy. All sfs's and its programs do work - except open shot. Open shot misses all librarys. I did install most of the Lazy Puppy sfs's and made a remaster. It is about 650 mb and works fine.

All menu entries of the LazY Puppy sfs files are edited to get all the programs into the LazY Puppy sfs menu. You have to edit these files to get the audi programs into the multimedia menu.

To use bristol do use jack audio connection. Start jack first and after starting bristol synthesizer connect the synthesizer via jack to the system. Use the synthesizers at the jack tab.

BTW. The jack entries inside the LazY Audio SFS are only .desktop files. Jack itself is installed in LazY Puppy. So you have to install jack audio first - if not already done.

RSH, have you tested CodeTyphnon PET I have sent you? Is there any chance to solve cross-compiling from Linux to Windows?

Yes, i have downloaded and tested CodeTyphon. The .pet is too big to install on my computer (not enough ram and swap). The sfs that i did build did not work.

So actually i am unable to do any work on this. I will post a link to the folder at mediafire at the lazarus thread. Maybe panoss returns and will be able to install CodeTyphon and do some work on this.

A quick report:

Posting this via a frugal install of LazyPuppy. Hard disk installation to a spare ext3 partition/folder was fine - no problems. I added it to menu.lst manually. I am mainly interested in LazyPuppy to program in Pascal.

First Impressions:
The SFS-direkt load needs some work. I had to put all the downloaded sfs files in /root so the loader would see them. When I tried to install, I could only accept the default copy location. Choosing 'RAM' or 'NOCOPY' gave errors. I could only load 6 sfs files before LazyPuppy complained.

I fired up Lazarus, and wrote a quick 'Hello World' application, but it would not run. I need to know the correct linker options for Lazy-Lazarus i guess.

Most of the other menu applications worked fine.
