Dpup Wheezy. Woof2 built debian wheezy packages based Puppy

#211 Post by Billtoo »

I did a manual frugal install to a hp desktop pc.

VIDEO REPORT: Dpup Wheezy, version 3.5.2.5

Chip description:
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 02)
Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416)
Video Decoder (rev 01)
Requested by /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Resolution (widthxheight, in pixels): 1440x900
Depth (bits, or planes): 24
Modules requested to be loaded: dbe
Probing Xorg startup log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log):
Driver loaded (and currently in use): intel
Loaded modules: dbe dri dri2 extmod fb fbdevhw glx kbd mouse record
Actual rendering on monitor:
Resolution: 1440x900 pixels (380x238 millimeters)
Depth: 24 planes

Installed from ppm: kdegames,lxterminal,and vlc-2.0.3
Installed from pets: xfe-1.34,mc-4.8.1.7,cmus-2.5.0,htop-1.0.2,and
PupSnap-2.1
I installed kdegames first and I noticed that it downloaded some vlc
files, it then prompted for more files to be downloaded but clicking
on the debian repo gave an error so nothing was installed, I
downloaded kdegames-card-data a second time and that succeeded and
installed all the other kdegames files as well.
Vlc 2.0.3 installed from ppm without problems.
I downloaded and installed google chrome from the google website but
trying to run it gives an error, it needs the same run-as-root fix as
vlc (if that's easyily done)
The ethernet autoconnected this time.

That's it so far, thanks.

Hi pemasu

Chromium-25 sfs is now working correctly from its DOTdesktop file when loaded onto the updated version of Dpup Wheezy.

Rerwin's new Frisbee is also working correctly.

Cheers & congrats

Testing straight google-chrome install from .deb

Here is my post:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 261#686261

And here is the fixed script to disable root user restriction from .deb google-chrome. Install the pet and after that install your wanted google-chrome .deb. Previously installed ones are not affected.
Happy testing.

Just in case anyone else is having display( missing icons,etc.) problems in Wheezy with older Nvidia cards..... mine is a :

Code: Select all

VGA compatible controller		: NVIDIA Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] 
I edited /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf to read : options nouveau noaccel=1 and rebooted....... took care of my display problems.YMMV.

I have updated the google-chrome-fix-for-deb-install-0.0.1.pet.
Now it has data and media cache restriction set to 10 Mb. So that the browser does not fill /tmp or savefile with browser accumulation data.

I reattach it here and also the previously posted pet in the post above has been updated. I think this is so important update that I post the update in this new post also....

Manual frugal install on a powerful P3 test box.All basics working on initial boot.A little slow but usable.

Is there a reason that this is better than setting

Code: Select all

exec=google-chrome %U --disk-cache-dir="/mnt/home/Cache" --user-data-dir="/mnt/home/chrome" 
in the .desktop and default browser file. Then assuming you are on a hard disk install with lots of room, just let the cache and user files be the size they want to be (or maybe add the size flags too).

Your executable code from pet file for reference

Code: Select all

exec /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --user-data-dir=/root/.config/chrome --disk-cache-size=10000000 --media-cache-size=10000000 "$@"' > /usr/bin/google-chrome 
Thanks

versus

Code: Select all

exec=google-chrome %U --disk-cache-dir="/mnt/home/Cache" --user-data-dir="/mnt/home/chrome" 
When you dont have savefile created, you dont have /mnt/home directory so...that definition is not generic enough. So...my used one has generic version with data and media cache restriction...if they are not restricted....try to watch movie stream from the net and voila...even /tmp will be eaten up.

Your version is okay with savefile...when you have hdd disk available to where to point the data and media cache.
%U is not needed in Puppies. Remove it. It is good habit not to include it. Some apps get disturbed.

So....your version is just fine for usage with savefile. My version tries to be safe with savefile and without it.

What I want. My first version has been incorporated already to the woof. I posted for Barry Kauler that my improved one is better and I hope he update the woof with it. When people or Barry now woof build Puppy, they can download latest or their wanted google-chrome .deb and test it without need for those Puppyficated google-chrome pets which have that root user fix and fix for data accumulation.

Off topic... I think it is not great idea that browser has not that cache size option in settings panel....but that is google app, not mine to criticize it much.

Try it without a save file. It seems to go ahead and create the mnt/home/<directory>s and work anyway. Not sure exactly what it is doing though as far as where the files really are and what happens to them when you create the save file.

Yes...it creates the directories....but inside the ram. The directories are not linked to the hdd partition.
Try it without savefile and find some HD movie stream and watch that for one hour. I believe you will get warning that you are getting out of space and the movie stops....okay...almost everything stops until you restart X.

I will test it when I next time watch movie stream. Maybe this evening....maybe not.

I installed Wine using Package Manager including all the dependencies. But after successful completion, there are no menu entries. The .wine directory is also missing. Am I missing something obvious?

Spandey. I dont use Wine at all...and I dont want to use it. So...I cant help you much with it. But of course I can check what goes wrong with installation. Did you install wine from debian repo with PPM ? It sounded like that but you could confirm it.
How do you launch wine from console ?
.wine missing directory might be the one which is created when you first time launch wine.
There are also ready up to date wine pets in the forum which might work better.
But testing wine is out of my reach.

I am atm working with 3.8 kernel for Precise Puppy but I suppose 3.8.X kernel without PAE will be the one I will use with Dpup Wheezy...so Precise Puppy 3.8 kernel will be great opportunity to test it with wider user feedback. So...I dont have possibility to boot Dpup Wheezy today.

Hi,
try launching from terminal

Code: Select all

# winecfg
if this do not work for you, uninstall the installed wine; and install one of the pets here
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/wine/

among the various wines versions available this one -i.e. version 1.4- is enough for my needs
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 886#610886

«the later the version id, the better wine features ...» --> you will have to try out which one suit the best your needs.

Note: from wine version 1.3.6, the mouse cursor is the X default cursor (and no longer the windows cursor)

hope this helps
Charlie

Dell D830 Laptop Wheeze install

I did a test install of wheeze, to prepare for the jump from dPup Squeeze, and all went well.

Did a manual install of nvidia 3.10 drivers with no problems.

I kind of miss the Frisbee package, but the wireless worked once I started the Auto DHCP correctly.

Chrome 24 works and Firefox updated to their latest and greatest 19.0

Satori. Good to hear of your experience.
I havent included much customization. Radky`s great apps are missing and also Frisbee. As are several other things.

The reason is that I need feedback from core funtionality. People notice those problems better if I havent loaded the build full with Puppy apps and report things concerning them.

Debian Wheezy is not prime yet. As long as Debian still improves the packages....I create mostly these a little stripped builds. I probably will start some modifications when I feel so. But heavy customization like Dpup Squeeze is not my intention. It just takes too much time....and I am also interested in Upup Precise.

I have played with idea that I will point pdf opening to the Firefox since it supports them now. Epdfvies sucks form Debian repo. The find property shows it. For Precise I did compile Evince but Firefox might be opportunity.

Frisbee has been under heavy development. Barry Kauler just announced that the latest version will be uploaded to the official repo. So....if you update the database...you should get working Frisbee from repo.
