Fatdog64-600 alpha2

#31 Post by Billtoo »

I compiled and made a pet of Links 2.6 Web Browser in fatdog64-600 alpha2.

Warning Links older than 2.7pre1 contains some bugs that can result in writing out of allocated memory if Links is running in graphics mode. This can be potentially exploited to attack the computer. If you use graphics mode you should upgrade to Links 2.7pre1.

The links version 2.6 can be removed in fatdog package manager.

Although, xorgwizard does not work, I was able to remove the "nouveau" driver and install the latest NIVIDIA driver.

Can you try the hp drivers in the package manager?
They worked, really like your new Package Manager. I should have checked it for latest drivers. :oops:

I did as you suggested with flsynclient and tap is worked just great. Iv,e said this before but I envy you guys your knowledge of these things.
Thanks again for all your help.

irishrm.

BTW:
There is a failed symbolic link to autocutsel (yellow triangle) in my start-up folder. Don't know what that means.

BibleTime version 2.9.1

#36 Post by Jim1911 »

BibleTime version 2.9.1 is now available. I did install the older BibleTime version 2.8.1, which works fine in Fatdog64-600. Hopefully, the newer version will be in your great new "Fatdog64 Package Manager" when it reaches final release.

Incidently, a minor edit is needed in /usr/share/applications/bibletime.desktop so that the proper icon shows up. Change Icon line to:

Code: Select all

Icon=/usr/share/bibletime/icons/bibletime.png
Thanks for this superb Fatdog64-600,
Jim

THank you - will get this to the repo later.
EDIT: This is now in repo.

Odd, in my machine it is a tad slower. Busybox blkid does not return volume labels.

EDIT: busybox blkid does return volume labels :shock: I may have been testing with the old busybox.

Anyway, how does this one fare?

Code: Select all

ls /sys/class/block | grep -vE "^loop|^ram|^nbd|^sr" | xargs -I '{}' disktype /dev/'{}'
It reads the content of /sys/class/block and tries to decipher what's inside, just like blkid, but it uses different tool. See if this is faster than the original blkid?

rcrsn51 prepared all those drivers; so they are the same as the ones you've used before, only newer. So all thanks to him :)
Glad you like the new package manager. Next is to make the repository does contain something :)

I used to use autocutsel instead of glipper. The idea of having a dead symlink is that one just need to put the autocutsel binary in /usr/bin and it will suddenly spring to life. But nowadays I'm happy with glipper too. I'll remove that link in next release; otherwise it's harmless.

This code executed in about 2 min and includes much more information.

On another matter, xfe, installed with the Package Manager, give an error:
  • # xfe
    xfe: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

Happy to do so; do you have a pet or do I have to compile this from source?

Kirk prepared version 2.8.1 for Fatdog64-521 and it's in your repository along with the dependencies. I think the dependencies may be OK, just Bibletime needs update. Other than Kirk's version, the later versions available are 32 bit, 01micko prepared 2.9.1 for Slacko, pemasu and jerimah also have version 2.9.1 for their distributions. I have copies of all of these.

Thanks,
Jim

Did you use Nvidia driver or some .pet?

Hello jamesbond

LateAdopter wrote: Opera 11.64 put a folder in /usr/lib which I suspect had previously been a symbolic link to /usr/lib64 like in fd520

So I put a symbolic link to /usr/lib64/hardinfo in /usr/lib then Hardinfo worked again.
I had this problem earlier and thought I have fixed it. Can you please provide the link to the pet so that I can test it?
I didn't use a .pet, I installed using opera_11.64.1403_amd64.deb downloaded via the Opera website.

The reason is that things like web browsers and display drivers are updated every few weeks and it is not reasonable to expect Puppy developers to provide new .pets so often.

I don't mind a bit of manual fixing, if necessary. In this case I would just move the Opera folder to /usr/lib64 and reinstate the symbolic link.

If anyone can give me step by step instructions on how to install the ATI driver in fd6 using the .run file from AMD, I would be pleased to have a go.

I would prefer that or, even better, a script rather than a .pet so that I can install whichever version is currently the least buggy.

I know the 12.1 package required 32 bit libraries in order to install on a 64bit system. I don't know whether that is still true for 12.4

I have just replaced all blkid with disktype, so let's see how this works. In my machine disktype is faster than blkid; blkid is faster than busybox blkid.

  • # xfe

I just did this on savefile=none (that's the equivalent of pfix=ram), I don't get any error. Could be some of your libraries are overwritten by earlier pet install; and/or the /usr/lib get hosed again as per irishrm case.

That explains, I may overlooked that part. I assume you just click the .DEB? (you don't, by any change, do undeb manually and copy the files over?)

I did that in the past for previous Fatdogs, haven't done this myself on 600. Once I've done it I can document the steps and share it with you (or even better, make a script out of it).
I know the 12.1 package required 32 bit libraries in order to install on a 64bit system. I don't know whether that is still true for 12.4
You are referring to Opera right? I don't use Opera so I can't comment. You can still probably use 32-bit libs from 521. I plan to build a new 32-bit library from latest Puppy (Racy, Slacko, Wary? not sure yet) - but that will take a while.

Bibletime 2.9.1 is now the in the repo. I'm using old clucene and sword from 521 - repackaged for 600.

cheers!

Fatdog64-600 alpha2

#50 Post by Billtoo »

I want to use the fatdog64 installer to prepare and install fatdog to
an 8gb flash drive.
I did all the steps but chose to install the bootloader to the
partition of the flash drive and that wouldn't boot, I wasn't sure
installing it to the MBR meant the MBR of the internal hard drive or
the flash drive so I chickened out on that option.
Will the installer put the bootloader on the MBR of the flash drive
and not disturb the internal hard drive?
