you are right about slackware vs LH64 = wierd diff.

I have 3 slakware paks running with out a issue

The skype ver 4 I linked works perfect

Also running 2 lib packs for depends

I had 2 not work as all.

And the last one I tryed was apache server for slackware and i will perma crash your pup save after boot.

So its hit or miss. I'm happy to take it

Thanks for letting me know where GKrellM is located and started saved me the time of tracking it all down. I just had so much going on at the time i did it the cheezy way

your script is nice... checks if its running "pidof " then "gerp" chacks the GKrellm.pid ???

only issue is it does not check where its drawn on X.

For some reason It trys to load all 3 windows and crashes. because more than one instance of it is running.

2 ways I'll try to fix this tomorrow as i need ot goto bed.

Put DISPLAY=:0.0 in your bash

or the EZ way put a countdown on my script to wait about 5 seconds till it draws DISPLAY=:0.1 and DISPLAY=:0.2

I'll try to fix it in your scrip so you can update it in the next release so other nuts with mufti monitors don't crash.

I bet you did not think people would have multiple monitors on Lighthouse.

@Meeki,
Questions

• Might you have made a PET of your work?
• And, might you be aware of this, reported from a Fatdog601 user?

[meeki]

I have attempted to make a pet of Skype 4.0.0.8 It works but has a bug where you cant close the chat window if you open it up.

While goofing around I found and tried the Slackware package 4.0.0.7 tried it and it worked fine.

MAKE SURE you have your devx for your package installed. befor you go trying o use a Slackware package.

Earth to Meeki come in over

I've been asking on the forums about something and they have sent me here hoping you can help me. Fingers crossed!

I installed Lighthouse 64 the other day - it's really good! It works a treat on my AMD 4400.

I wanted to make some music with it but I can't see where I can find a Wineasio.dll that will work on this distro. I tried Ubuntu / .deb compiled for 64 bit but that didn't work.

Can anyone help please? I am desperate !

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Hang in there I'm building a sfs ATM for tazoc so we can have an Apache Web Server, MySQL, PHP. This should work in Lighthouse64 and FATDOG64. It takes my work box about 1 hr to ./config the Perl for it. I'm on round 3 of this.

After that I'll look into getting your winealso working.

Then after that It looks like everyone wants a true skype4 pet for the 64bit puppys
The issue with skype is that the have no static 64bit version. So it runs off of 32libs getting them into the install folder and called right is a pain. As stated before I have one that works but has bugs. I may share or host a pet from another source but when I make a pet by hand like I did with dropbox I make sure there are no bugs with current Lighthouse release.
So until I get the Message Window fixed in the pet fixed I will not release it.

I'm working on all the above. Give me some time ill sort it out.

Thanks loads Meeki! I really appreciate it.

I'm running The Nivida drivers pet.

I'm not running Xinerama or twin view. Or one big desktop. I'm running seperate X-Screens for each. So I have 3 instances of X and 3 instances of Openbox going at one time.


No crashes for over 2 hrs now with the startup scrip modded. The below mod puts it in the stock window. I'm running it on my far Right monitor with DISPLAY=:0.1

Q5sys, your running Xinerama. Its a fine way to do a desktop. I have no issues with it.

Xinerama allows "X applications and window managers to use two or more physical displays"; so its handling the applications

I'm just bucking the system

Best way I can describe what im doing, though I'm sure im wrong on the details:
I'm running 3 separate desktops they function independent of each other. you cant drag an open window to the other screen. Other funny things happen too! if you were to try and open a second instance of firefox on the other monitor it will freek out and say sorry its already runnin. There is a way around this with multiple profiles firefox -p "profile name" I then use sync to tie them all together.

Well I now know why WineASIO is not standard package anywhere.

"Get the ASIO SDK from Steinberg
Due to the licensing restrictions of the SDK it's impossible to distribute the asio.h header file with WineASIO so you have to get it yourself. "
quote source http://wiki.cockos.com/wiki/index.php/Installing_and_configuring_WineASIO

Also here is the ASIO Licensing agreement.pdf
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12968946/lighthouse/Steinberg%20ASIO%20Licensing%20Agreement.pdf

Sad to say mate your on your own.

Before you go trying to build it you should know that it needs the wine-dev for a file on make called wine/debug.h
Because lighthouse and puppys are small package builders tend to clean up at the end killing such files that do not effect run.

So unless I can get the build sfs I can not do much about the ASIO issue.
