[666philb]

Mouse ok, but no keyboard ! even changing countries. Sorry, shall try later.

hi mayou, what computer and what keyboard are you using?

[666philb]

i checked the DOTconfig and CONFIG_PATA_MARVELL=m ... needs to be set to y i'll have to recompile the kernel

Thanks.
Also 'y' need for CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_852 and CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_2.

thanks shinobar

i've uploaded a new kernel with the suggested configs https://www.dropbox.com/s/pq3cfhh0mdq1w ... PAE.tar.xz

Appreciate the work on this. I'm booting from a flash drive, and running a completely diskless super compact Haswell based rig I built myself.

Quirky led me to this puplet, and I'm glad I took all the effort and time to get it running.

So tiny, yet so awesome.



Thanks again.

Thanks. Now my HDD under Marvel IDE interface is caught correctly.
# probedisk

Add the ID string:
# echo -n 't140711144545ZZZZ5.8.3XXXXXXXXXX' >> vmlinux

[shinobar]

When you have 2 optical drives, sr0 and sr1, cliking DVD on sr1 invokes vlc mediaplayer, but vlc fails because it tyies sr0.

Next config file solves this issue:
/root/.config/vlc/vclcrc

Code: Select all

[main] # main program
# DVD device (string)
dvd=/dev/dvd

# VCD device (string)
vcd=/dev/dvd

# Audio CD device (string)
cd-audio=/dev/cdrom

Another issue:
VLC config has 'disable-screensaver' flag, but it does not work at all.
I don't know the reason.

Hi 666philb

Thanks for your hard work. Tahr 5.8.3 works fine OOTB on a Dell Latitude E6400. I'm still exploring and haven't tried to print or scan. But so far I haven't had any difficulty installing pets, or loading sfses, originally built for raring or precise and haven't discovered any conflicts.

TahrPup-5.8.3 has gstreamer built-in:

Code: Select all

# grep gstreamer /root/.packages/woof-installed-packages | sort -u | cut -f1 -d'|'
gstreamer0.10-alsa_0.10.36
gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3_0.10.23.debian-3
libgstreamer-plugins-bad0.10-0_0.10.23
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0_0.10.36
libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0_1.2.4-1
libgstreamer0.10-0_0.10.36
libgstreamer1.0-0_1.2.4
libqtwebkit4_2.3.2

But is it working? Working with what applications?

I am testing gstreamer with the net game Secondlife.
The streaming doesn't work in the Secondlfe.
Maybe adding some packages relating gstreamer-plugins-good, but the streaming in the secondlife can play back with the gstreamer-0.10.35-lucid.sfs made from the Ubuntu lucid repo.
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/pup5/

The gstreamer is complex. I suggest to leave it as an optional and remove it from the main.

[sketchman]

Possible issue. When you uncheck the option to auto-play DVD video and CD audio it completely stops the normal handler operation.

So instead of mounting or displaying the contents of a partition when you click on it, you just get the pmount window popping up.

Check the option for DVD and CD, and it goes back to normal.

[shinobar]

sfs_load-2.1.8 test released.
All the extra sfs be handled by sfs_load to avoid long wait with the message 'next boot will be faster'.

Install sfs_load-2.1.8.pet and pman-2.3.pet to make fixmenu fast:
Note /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit is modified by the pinstall.sh.

hi!
I have a problem:

after installing xkb-data_2.10.1-1ubuntu1_all.deb from ubuntu repo, (and after X restart) my keyboard doesn't work any more.
It is a dependency for workrave.

This has happened to me twice. Removing the package didn't help. I started from scratch because I had not installed/modified much. The second time this happened, I decided to work around this by downloading xkb-data_2.10.1-1ubuntu1_all.deb and extracted it on another computer to see what the files were, then I booted with pfix=ram clicked the pupsave file, and deleted the files that were installed in the package.

It is definitely a problem because it is a dependency for other applications as well.

[shinobar]

UPDATE: defaults-chooser-0.9.pet
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/
# v0.9 30Jul2014 shinobar: add pdfviewer, screenshot

#! /bin/sh
exec zathura "$1"

But it is better to be

#! /bin/sh
exec defaultpdfviewer "$1"

Pressing the [Print Screen] key, launches defaultscreenshot.
I prefer 'mtpaint -s' rather than screeny as the defaultscreenshot.
Because screeny need more action after pressing the [Print Screen] key.

hi shinobar

with gstreamer 0.10, barry put a note in DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-ubuntu-trusty from his quirky tahr build saying ... "#qupzilla, seamonkey, etc need this" so i left that in.
as for gstreamer 1.0 i put that in as the new skype needed it .... i then discovered that the new skype is a pain on puppy so i will remove this one in the net build.

VLC i'll try and add the config in the next build and as for the disable-screensaver flag, i don't think it has ever worked for me in puppy with any media player or browser and i always end up disabling the screensaver.

SFS_LOAD the new sfs_load is working fine and it'll be in the next build

i'll put the new defaults chooser quickpet ...tahr fixes

thanks

hi sketchman,

i can't test this as i don't have a cd/dvd drive, and not sure i know how to fix it. but maybe someone else will see this and know a fix?

thanks

hi bwh196,

this should be fixed... open quickpet, click update & update quickpet ... then click the update button again and choose 'tahrpup bug fixes'

thanks

I actually don't have any opticals either, but the option is still there. It's no big deal. I can work around it.

[shinobar]

with gstreamer 0.10, barry put a note in DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-ubuntu-trusty from his quirky tahr build saying ... "#qupzilla, seamonkey, etc need this" so i left that in.

I removed built-in both gstreamer0 and gstreamer1 from the TahrPup RAM mode boot off.
The Palemoon plays Youtube without flashplayer ( and without gstreamer).

and qt4 what for?

and qt4 what for?

vlc_2.1.4

[shinobar]

UPDATE: vlc-2.1.5-1-i586-tahr.pet
fix was starting from menu failed

I have built most recent vlc on the TahrPup-583, eliminating qt dependencies.
vlc-2.1.5-i586-tahr.pet
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/tahrpup/opt/

Needed DEVs missing in the devx_tahr-583.sfs.
I am not sure on the libxcb-xvmc0_1.10 runtime package mystery.

Code: Select all

libxcb-composite0-dev_1.10
libxcb-xv0-dev_1.10
libxcb-xvmc0_1.10
libxcb-xvmc0-dev_1.10

configure options:
# ./configure --host=i586-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-x --disable-qt --disable-lua --enable-run-as-root

I made a wrapper script to make 'disable-screensaver' effective.

FWIW, 666philb's Tahr-5.8.3 can use my brand new NetGear N900 (WNDA4100) USB wireless thingy straight out of the box. I can't say much more than that about Tahr because I was only trying out all the Puppy CDs I could, to find the ones that could use the N900. I will say that I found Tahr's general layout to be easy to use, and everything I tried seemed to work.
