Dpup Wheezy. Woof-CE built debian wheezy 7.2 packages used

[pemasu]

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.

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?

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

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.

I've tried an installation of mypaint 11.0 in Wheezy without any add-on.
Mypaint cannot runs.
Python reply with a couple of errors , while Precise works well (I cannot install Bluetooth driver to make Python works).

to Pemasu :

Have you keep up with my right click package?

Very exciting!!

It would now be possible for you to dump putting right clicks in
your distros and let me handle this work. Many languages
could be supported (including Finnish ).

.http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 786#687786

Here's German version..

[pemasu]

Don570. I have tried to keep up. Sometimes I have done some reduction if the support has not met the build needs, but basically your work has been included.

And thank for your work. I check your latest version, when I create next build.
I have already some fixes which should be in the build.

[don570]

'Dump' means get rid of the Right click menu items.

It would be less work for you.

______________________________________

[pemasu]

Not gonna get rid of them. I appreciate them too much

It surely would be less work, but I really want them to be in the build. Rox right clicks really enhance Rox usability and I use them all the time.

You could think that they are there for me...if for nobody else.
But I am sure most users appreciate them...probably more if they are not there....

Of course there is the problem to keep up...but at least I know what there is when I repeatedly check your work through....at least by scanning through the folders....and sometimes fixing missing icons...due to different build I use.

[don570]

Then you should look at my pinstall script to see how I made the
package compatible with Libre Office. It wasn't easy because
Libre Office puts the version number in the desktop filename
which is not a good practise.

...and the new version of Bulldog finder 1.3 fixes some problems.

Hi Pemasu,
libssl.so.0.9.8 as also libcrypto.so.0.9.8 are needed to run spotify spotify-0.6.2.291.pet from dpup-exprimo repo here
http://smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages ... .2.291.pet,

Only version 1.0.0 exists for debian wheezy.

Already present libssl.so.1.0.0 and libcrypto.so.1.0.0 do not work even with the also existing libssl.so.0.9.8 as also libcrypto.so.0.9.8 symlinks.

I found this work around:
- download without install the debian-squeeze libssl0.9.8_0.9.8o-4squeeze14_i386.deb;
- extract it in /tmp;
- copy both extracted libssl.so.0.9.8 as also libcrypto.so.0.9.8 to /usr/local/lib;
- delete the existing /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 and /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 symlinks;
- make new symlinks /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 and /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 pointing to /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 and /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 .

So question: might this work around bring possible troubles with other present applications...?

thanks for any advice
Charlie

[pemasu]

Charlie6. Using squeeze 0.98 version is the only way atm. Spotify does not have version linked to newer 1.0 versions. So your solution is as good as any other. Does it give problems. Probably not. Only if you have dev libs installed for 0.98 version also, then there is possibility that compiled apps would be linked to that older version of those libs. For example compiling Pidgin with 0.98 dev libs present is not recommended.

Otherwise...just having older versions present should not be problematic. So....use Spotify as you have done. No other way around anyway. There has been posts about new Spotify with updated compile using 1.0 version, but I checked the latest version, it still uses 0.98.

[charlie6]

Hi pemasu,
about spotify-0.6.2.291.pet from dpup-exprimo repo:
None of the icons present in folder (size of "theme" folder is ca. 3.5MB)
spotify-0.6.2.291/usr/share/spotify/theme
cannot be red with mtpaint (read error reported) nor viewnior.
What are those 3.5 MB icons ued for ?
Thanks for any answer
Charlie

[pemasu]

Charlie6. Those so called .png files are used by Spotify. If you remove them, you will notice that the Spotify will not start. Why they dont open with image viewer, I dont know. But if you download the original .deb you will notice that it behaves same way. If you are interested why they dont open...you could try to hunt answer with google. I dont know.

What a nice pup!

Wheezy looking good running Linphone in a call to the video echo test.

Hi,
[SOLVED] see «last edited» paragraph below
on a «home-remasterized» (*) (using woofy) dPup-Wheezy-3.5.2.5:
uopn selecting Menu/Edit/Preferences, gnumeric hangs up; command line reports:

gnumeric: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libspreadsheet-1.10.17.so: undefined symbol: go_direction_get_name

Does anybody also get this ?
Any workaround to fix this?
Thanks for any help !
Charlie
(*) removed: homebank + games; added: pets

last edited: one of the added pets had somewhat got uncompatibilities : abiword-2.8.6_musher.pet --> this one is not compatible here as it brings some gnome comonents that are not compatible with the already present gnumeric-1.10.17

[charlie6]

Hi,
[SOLVED = i.e. workaround --> GOTO «very...very last edited» at bottom this post]

On Wheezy-3.5.2.5, i happened to open a pdf document which is displayed as if some of its elements has been erased.
As i was expected to find some sketches in it, i got a try opening it another way:
opening the very same pdf document with
-evince (using dPup-exprimo-3.6.2.1) --> OK; and
-Xournal (on wheezy using the home-compiled -->see above post), i got the missing parts displayed

So it seems being a problem with epdfview-1.0.8 on wheezy (read link below).
-->see attachments for comparison

Here is a possible workaround ~~~> [SOLVED ??]
install epdfview_lupu-0.1.8.pet from here: (thanks to rcrsn51 ! )
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... start=1950
notice: the pinstall.sh script inside the pet is useless as epdfview uses the already present libcrypto.so.1.0.0 and libssl.so.1.0.0.

if now wanting to run evince-2.30.3
install evince-2.30.3-i386.pet from here ( as also NLS and DOC files if needed - thanks ttuuxxx))
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=472483
evince cannot run using the pet; it needs some of all the deps present in the above epdfview_lupu-1.0.8.pet.

Now one can extract the libs under /usr/libs and put them into evince-2.30.3-i386.pet, and create a evince pet specific for wheezy.

hope this helps!
