Chinese Language Pets

#46 Post by icake »

lighthouse 503 was the last 32 bit Puppy linux released by Tazoc on Feb 28, 2011. Since then, the author switched focus to the 64 bit system and no more updates were done on the 32 bit system.

It comes in 2 isoes, Base and Mariner, features are:
Base iso: (203 mb)
Kernel 2.6.33.2 and Xorg-server 1.7.7
window managers: JWM, IceWM, LXDE, Openbox
Multimedia players: Audacious audio player, Mplayer, RealPlayer
image editors, Opera browser, GIMP 2.6, Wine, winetricks
Osmo Personal Organizer, Pburn, Pwidgets, Conky system monitor, Edit-SFS squash file editor
Gslapt Slackware package manager with .txz package support
Basic multi-user support with Add user, Password and Auto login wizards

Mariner iso: (694 mb) has Base iso plus
Xfce 4, Firefox, Java, LibreOffice, Mariner and VirtualBox SFS, plus Audacity, EudoraOSE and Sylpheed Pets

there are also 40 more additional sfs files available for download from the lighthouse download site. The download speed is up to 2 mb per sec

booting note
When booting from a GRUB bootloader, please add xforcevesa nomodeset to the kernel line in your menu.lst.

download addresses for lighthouse 503: http://lhpup.org/download503.htm

Because the setup of lighthouse 503 is quite different compared to the other Puppy systems, I have created 2 version-specific half-Chinese Language pets instead of update the universal half-Chinese pets. The names of these pets are:
fcitx input platform: lighthouse-503-zh-enfx-0.0.1.pet (8 mb)
SCIM input Platform: lighthouse-503-zh-ensm-0.0.1.pet (18 mb)

Half-Chinese Language pet enables Puppy to display and input Chinese, the desktop remains in English. Please see the first message posted under this subject for download addresses

I have just uploaded a few more items in the public sharing folders (please see first post for the addresses):

a. half-Chinese Language pets for lighthouse64 515
fcitx input platform: lighthouse64-5.1.5-zh-fx64-0.1.5.pet (6.5 mb)
SCIM input platform: lighthouse64-5.1.5-zh-sm64-0.0.1.pet (12 mb)

b. Chinese Language pets for raring 5.6.94 (released 29 Jun 2013)
simplified Chinese
fcitx input platform: raring-5.6.94-zhcn-fx-7.1.4.pet (11 mb)
SCIM input platform: raring-5.6.94-zhcn-sm-7.1.4.pet (22 mb)
traditional Chinese
fcitx input platform: raring-5.6.94-zhhk-fx-.7.1.4.pet (10 mb)
SCIM input platform: raring-5.6.94-zhhk-sm-7.1.4.pet (19 mb)
existing universal half-Chinese Language pets can handle raring 5.6.94 already

c. 2 pdf files:
user manual of the 32 bit Puppy Chinese Language pets
version change log of the 32 bit Chinese Language pets up to 7.1.4

I would also like to thank forum member don570 who pointed out 1 flaw that affects all my earlier Chinese Language pets (half-Chinese Language pets are not affected).
Because this flaw does not has an immediate impact on users unless modifications were done to /root/.config/rox.sourceforget.net, I do not plan to issue replacement pets immediately.
However if you are using the Chinese Language pets (universal half-Chinese pets are not affected) released prior to July 1, 2013 and want to make changes in the folder /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net, please be careful.

Known issues:
a. the SCIM half-Chinese Language pet uses zh_CN.UTF-8 locale because I cannot get SCIM to work normally in English locales
I found that after installed SCIM, if I start an application in terminal with GTK_IM_MODULE=scim XXX (XXX = geany, abiword, gnumeric, firefox etc), then SCIM can start in that application under en_US.UTF-8 locale. But I have not use this workaround method in the pet.
If anyone knows a better way to solve this, please let me know.

Yesterday, an unnamed visitor pointed out the solution to run fcitx and SCIM for abiword and gnumeric under gtk3 of Wheezy and upup raring. This solution eliminates the need to downgrade abiword and gnumeric and also greatly reduces the size of the affected Chinese Language pets.
I have revised and uploaded 12 new Chinese Language pets for the 3 affected Puppy systems:
Dpup-Wheezy-3527; raring-5.6.94 and upup-raring-3991

3 Puppy systems X 2 input platforms (fcitx and SCIM) X 2 Chinese Languages (Simplified and Tradtiional) = 12 pets

These 12 pets:
1. were all named version 7.2.2. Please see posting no. 1 of this subject for download addresses.
2. include a bug fix to enable user defined partition labels to display below each desktop partition icons.

I have also uploaded version 7.2.2 of the universal half-Chinese Language pets for fcitx and SCIM input platforms to handle abiword and gnumeric under gtk3.

May I say thank you again to that unnamed visitor for pointing out the solution.

I have tested and confirmed that the current released Universal half-Chinese pets can handle all these 3 Puppy systems.

Chinese Language pets

#63 Post by icake »

precise 5.7.1 was released by Barry on Aug 3, 2013. This is a bug fix for 5.7 (released on Jul 29, 2013), fixing 3 main bugs:

1. Non-US keyboards
Under X, all applications on first start use an US layout keyboard. Exit and restart the application will give a correct keyboard layout. (This should not affect computers using a Chinese environment)

2. External optical media
when an external USB optical drive was plugged, the drive icon did not appear on the desktop

3. Playing DVD videos
when play DVD video with Gnome-Mplayer, just got a blank window.
Mostly fixed but still has a problem with DVD menus -- to get it work properly and set the correct video-out mode, just open Preferences window and then close it

I have tested the Chinese Language pets and happy to report that precise 5.7 Chinese Language pets can handle precise 5.7.1 already.
However, I found a bug in one of the Chinese Language pets: precise-5.7-zhhk-fx-7.2.1.pet (Traditional Chinese; fcitx)
Start menu will display a few not yet translated English terms.
This bug was fixed and the pet replaced.

I have also tested the universal half-Chinese Language pets and found that they can handle precise 5.7.1

Chinese Language pets

#65 Post by icake »

I have just uploaded 14 new Chinese Language pets/debs to the public sharing folder for 3 Puppy systems using the LXDE desktop: simplicity 13.7 desktop/obsidian and lxpup-14. Please see first posting of this subject for download addresses.
The names of these pets are:

(A) 8 pets are for simplicity 13.7 released on July 23, 2013, a system developed by the simplicity development team lead by David Purse.

It comes with 2 versions,
Obsidian has Firefox 22.0 browser, LXDE and PCManFM file manager
Desktop has more applications including Skype 4.2, LibreOffice 4.0.2, VL 2.07

more information: http://simplicitylinux.org/
download SimplicityObsidian137Release.iso (169 mb);
http://sourceforge.net/projects/simplic ... o/download
download SimplicityDesktop137Release.iso (452 mb)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/simplic ... o/download

(B) 6 of these are for lxpup-14 which was made by Jejy69 and released on July 20, 2012
lxpup-14 uses slackware's Gslapt and can access slackware packages. Unfortunately, it cannot install Puppy pets easily and so lxpup-14 Chinese Language pets were done in debian debs instead.
This solution was formed after some discussions with a few visitors posted in #13328 to #13339 of the discussions in the Chinese Puppy Discussions forum http://www.minilinux.net/node/2545

I want to make use of this opportunity to thank everyone who had participated in the discussions and for their contributions.
