new version of conversion audio - version 1.5
I tried a German translation.

Two improvements

1) I estimate the conversion time for the user,
however this probably won't be accurate if you have a slow machine

2) I pop a window up to show the conversion so it won't be
such a mystery!

I coded a GUI application in Lazy Puppy which uses many features of FPC. I then opened the linux project in the Windows 7 64-bit version of Lazarus; told it to compile for Win64 and it did it without a hitch!

Easy cross-compiling for 32-bit Puppy Linux and 64-bit Windows 7 without changing any source code - awesome!

(Also my first 3G application written for Linux)
Aahhh, that's pretty cool! 8)

But as i wrote many times before: panoss has been the guy who found the way to get Lazarus and FPC working.

I like to use .sfs files and the way panoss described using .pet to install did not work in slacko. So I did recompile, package and refine it to build an .sfs file out of this stuff. Luckily it did work at least... :D

He did call my first presented and working solution the Frankenstein Version because it has used 0.9.30 and 0.9.28 of Lazarus and FPC together. After a while he did found some issues and then found his way to solute this. Then i wrote to him: ...Lazarus, the Frankenstein Version is dead and Panosszarus has shoot into the light. :lol:

He did like this and i was just lucky about he did not give up. It was a hard and weird time without sleep for days and stuff like that (you surely do know such extreme involving). In the Introduction post of Lazy Puppy Lazarus and FPC sfs are two links to these threads - if you are interested in reading the "Lazarus Story" :D http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 404#593404

Yes, please do this. This would be pretty cool as well! 8)

If you don't have a place to upload or if it is too big for the forum (>1mb) then let me know. I can open my mediafire account for you to upload and then moving this stuff to my web-store at smokey's server.

This is really cool. Added to LazY Puppy Update List. :)

"Muß" is the older one and "muss" is newer one. Some years ago they did made some changes because our kids were unable to learn and write "real German". To keep them away from getting bad certificates they did made a lot of stupid changes.

So, i am an old man. I like to use old stuff and i like to learn something new as well. But i don't like to change this one and as long as something is not broken there is no need to fix it (imho). :)

I have uploaded the Lazarus Linux application (20 questions) code and files to:

http://www.charcodelvalle.com/files/xxq ... NUX.tar.gz

It's quite a large download at 6+ megs.

Unpack it to a new empty directory, and read the readme.txt file before doing anything else.

All the files should be there (unpack with directories intact) and it should compile first go. I have included the pre-compiled executable also for comparison testing.

Let me know if it works OK.

I have downloaded the .tar.gz and had a short test run of the included app - but i did actually not have a look into the sources. I will do this as far as i have developed my actual work on LazY Puppy. Maybe one week or so... 8)

I am sure this will help a lot to get me one step into Lazarus and FPC. :D

Thanks a lot
for this, minesadorada. :D

Interesting version of Puppy. It seems way faster on my Toshiba TE2100 2ghz laptop than any other live puppy that I have used. Not sure why.
Very responsive though. Very nice

Note to RSH :

I created some new right click menu items to convert audio
files, such as converting a wma audio file to wav

It's called conversion_audio-1.7.pet

Startmount

#223 Post by minesadorada »

I enabled StartMount, but on every boot I get the dialog asking if I want to disable or configure it. Is the dialog necessary on every bootup?

It's becoming an irritation!

After enabling StartMount there is a file start-mount.sh in /root/Startup. You can delete this file or make all commands inside /root/Startup/start-mount.sh a commment (#).

I would do make them a comment, to be able to reactivate this feature.

After deleting the file or commenting out the lines the dialog at startup will not return.

I think, you can also create a directory "off" in /root/Startup and move start-mount.sh in there. Should work also.

I like your right-click-tools very much. But do you know any possibility to show the entries in German or any other languages?

This would be really nice - if possible.

Btw: how do you think about another icon for Bacon Recorder?

I think the clock icon is a bit too much shown inside the menu for several applications. Maybe combining the clock icon with a clearly musical symbol?

@RSH I've attached updated source code for the XXQLUNUX Lazarus project. Just overwite older files with new.

==Update 29th Feb==

Linux-compliant paths used for xxqlinux. The exe can now be located anywhere and it will find its data on the system.
(Windows-compliant paths used for xxqwin32 and xxqwin64)
500 records pre-installed in xxqdata.dat

ToDo:
1 ) Embed question set in dat file to enable importing and non-destructive merging.
2 ) Package deployment as a PET

Cool! 8) Thanks alot. :)

It looks like i am not the only one who is interested in Pascal Sources/Examples. So, everybody please feel free to post Pascal sources inside this thread. Would be nice. :)

Lazarus cross-compiling

#228 Post by minesadorada »

If you are Lazarus cross-compiling for Linux and Windows, it is well worth reading this:

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Mult ... ming_Guide

I have found the guidelines about configuration and data file locations very useful.

GetConfigFile returns a path in Windows that is unavailable to the user (thanks MS!) but it's very useful in linux.

USB flash

#229 Post by minesadorada »

I have been having a lot of irritations with PMount and USB sticks under Lazy Puppy.

On startup, not all plugged-in USB sticks appear on the desktop (nor do my DVD and CDROM drives) The one that shows sometimes is a 16GB vFat.

When I start PMOUNT, only after selecting "MUT" does it see one of the USB sticks, and it takes a long time 'Probing Hardware' each time.

The stick that seems to cause the problem (a Sandisk Cruzer) is formatted as 2GB vFAT.

There is no hardware problem with the Sandisk, as Windows hot-plugs it just fine.

I've been thinking about this problem for a couple of weeks.

There is one method that might work but it would require
a lot of programming knowledge. Here's how it
would work.

Download my French version of Fluppy linux HERE
This is the Package
and study the pinstall script that I wrote for that package
( I actually stole it from the French guys)

What this script does is discover the current LANG environment
and then acts accordingly (with a warning message either in
English or French).


So here's my idea ....

1) Find the LANG ENVIRONMENT
2) Switch all files in 'OpenWith' folder
from one language to another.
For example if $LANG is 'en' do a switch (or move 'mv') of the file
.../OpenWith/.audio_x-ms-wma/Edit with mhwaveedit

and put another with a German name in its place.

Of course if $LANG is 'de' the transfer would be in the
other direction.

It's a lot of work and I don't know of any version of
Linux that does this, but it's my only feasible idea.

I think you should concentrate on making Lazy the best
German language ' Minimalist' distributution. And that means
getting the best German tranlations possible.
