TahrPup 5.8.4

[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?
# grep qt4 /root/.packages/woof-installed-packages | sort -u | cut -f1 -d'|'

Code: Select all

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.

[shinobar]

ROX-right-click 'Play Fullscreen' does not support vlc.
Replace the script /usr/local/apps/mplayer/AppRun to

#!/bin/sh
exec vlc -f "$@"
exec mplayer -fs "$@"

The mtpaint handbook can be downloaded and installed in tahr

Yet another new version (9.0.4) of pAVrecord uploaded. Hopefully fixes the vlc/avconv related bug drawn to my attention by user Saborima who was testing previous version in tahrpup. It only effected machines using avconv (which would hang on record) rather than ffmpeg as it turns out. Download:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 582#656582

This pAVrecord 9.0.4 one may work correctly in tahrpup but needs comprehensive testing by tahrpup users.

#v2.1.9: fix loop device conflict with irregular initramfs

[Tm_mT]

Thanks for this puppy! It works very well on my multicore PC. Had some issues with other puppies but this one is excellent. I like how it looks and it is puppy fast.
I have been a Puppy user for years but it is usually temporary to fix a crash or while trying out other major distro' s. Having the Ubuntu repository and at the same time the speed and fun of puppy might keep me here for a bit longer
Great job.

[Tm_mT]

some additional comments (not sure if this is tahrPup specific) :

- I really like the artwork used. Clean and consistent.
- exit screen looks great
- quickpet, nice useful for new (Linux or Puppy) users
- Getflash install FlashPlayer - that was easy
- Firewall configuration was easy and I like the green shield in the taskbar


Sorry, no issues to report yet

[edit : added the firewall comment]

[eadmaster]

any update for amd drivers?

[sszindian]

Testing into some of the off-wall stuff:

Installed from the PPM xscreensaver... it seems all the standard screensavers in it work as they should with the exception of the GL things (Carousel, Slideshow) Anyway the Carousel works BUT No Pictures display. We had this problem in Slacko's but 'SFR' came up with a fix there so Carousel works -

Code: (In Terminal)- su spot -c xscreensaver-demo - but this doesn't work in Tahrpup/

I've installed all the programs available for xscreensaver from the PPM so nothing is missing from there.

Any suggestions?

So far, Tahrpup is working well and no serious problems encountered to date... Your update stuff through quickpet is very nice, wish all developers would go that route!

Tried to install NFS common from the Puppy Package Manager. Examine dependencies leads to a lot of dependency misses. After that I chose to download + install the package + dependencies and then an error message appears:
Error: packages are not available
iproute2-2.6.29-1-w5pet module-init-tools-3.16-w5c.pet
the installation has been aborted.

Any idea how to solve this? Used to Debian/Ubuntu and then usually everything is automatically downloaded and installed.

BTW... I did update the repository - that didn't work. It keeps on asking me to install the downloads local. And when I do it seems to do nothing (nothing is saved)

hi shinobar,

i know it would save a lot of megabytes removing QT but it's at the expense of a hobbled vlc and i think tahrpup should have a fully functional & easy to use media player, either vlc or mplayer. previous pups have had gnome-mplayer but i and i expect a lot of others always ended up installing vlc as it's has less problems.
so i think the full vlc should stay. also a lot of the packages in quickpet require QT

will your disable screensaver wrapper work with the full vlc?

fixed right click play full-screen thanks
updated sfs_load thanks

update quickpet first then tahrpup bug fixes

cheers

xscreensaver is my arch enemy!! whilst trying and succeeding to get it working on precise i managed to mess up permissions throughout the whole system including my harddrives! and vowed never to have anything to do with it again

hi Tm_mT,

i think i've fixed the problem and have put the fix in quickpet .... you'll need to update quickpet first... then install the tahrpup bug fixes from quickpet

can you let me know if it fixes it for you

thanks

[Tm_mT]

can you let me know if it fixes it for you

Thanks a lot! That fixed it indeed. Nice updating / fixing method btw. You have created a very user friendly Puppy.

Had some issues with NFS itself, apparently NFS was updated so my usual mount command didn't work anymore.
mount -F -o nolock,soft,nosuid,intr mypc:/share /mnt/home/NFS seems to work though.

[eadmaster]

for the AMD driver, since the kernel is ubuntu-compatible, can't we just use the regular package?
