Fatdog64 Contributed Packages and SFS

[step]

Thank you, Gobbi, for making this new package! It works well for me, so it has replaced my older version on my PC.

Exiftool reads/writes metadata information for lots of file types (audio/video and more), so I find it convenient to add it as a rox right-click SendTo item. Here's how.

Install Gobbi's package.
Open one rox window in ~/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/SendTo. Click the eye icon. If you don't see a folder named ".all" create one. Do the same for a folder named ".group".
Open _another_ rox window in /usr/local/apps.
Drag the folder "ExifTool" in the second window over the folder ".all" in the first window, drop and select "Link absolute". Do the same over the folder ".group". Note: Do include a single dot before the names "all" and "group".

Now when you select one or more objects in a rox window and right click you should see an "ExifTool" entry in the top popup menu, or sometimes in the SendTo sub-menu. Click that entry to view an Xdialog window holding a (long) list of metadata information for the selected objects.

Exiftool works also from the command line: exiftool --help

Here is a small contribution. It's something I have wanted for many years.

This is the latest build of Wine with Clipboard issues patched. It is 32-bit only.

Wine-2.0.RC3-patched-710-1.sfs

To describe what is possible with this version of Wine, here is a scenario:

Code: Select all

I use a HQ TTS voice installed in Wine, along with a TTS Reader to utilise it. With this build of Wine, I can highlight a news article in Chrome (Autocopy extension installed), and the TTS Reader will automatically start reading the text as it has been monitoring Fatdog64's clipboard.

[step]

This is the latest build of Wine with Clipboard issues patched. It is 32-bit only.

Thank you, Jake, so far it seems to run well here, and the clipboard integration between Linux and Windows is very useful, something I have missed a lot in other versions. I'm not familiar with the clipboard patch, can you please point me to info and download pages where you got it?

@step - The Clipboard fix has now been implemented in Wine 2.0-rc5.

https://www.winehq.org/announce/2.0-rc5

I will contribute a pet / sfs for the final 2.0 release, unless someone beats me to it.

[step]

@jake29, thanks for the info. I will wait for 2.0 final then. Meanwhile, I noticed that the file system structure of your RC3 build is quite different from the structure that the Fatdog64 wine txz and sfs use. Any particular reason?

I only followed the commands outlined in the Fatdog64 FAQ. I know more is required to make a full package - 32bit/64bit - but that sfs does work and saved some space. I haven't deliberately changed the system structure.

Debian does not provide clearkeys or widevine libs.

@step - Earlier in this thread you posted that 'redshift v1.11' is available via package manager, however I found only v1.10 was listed. Maybe I'm missing something, but anyway I compiled my own version.

redshift v1.11 adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings.

I personally use it as follows: (Via Terminal)

Code: Select all

Night mode: redshift -O 2000
Day Mode: redshift -O 5500

[step]

@jake29,

I think redshift is in the 700 repo. My "packages" post is divided into three sections. The 700 section implies the 700 repo. I will update my post to make it clearer. You may want to add the 700 repo to gslapt, as many 700 packages work on 710 too.

edit: done

• xwit 3.4 doesn't need a window manager. Xwit will resize, iconify, pop, and move windows, mostly without involving a window manager. Also change an icon, title or name, set the screen saver going, change key autorepeat settings, move the mouse cursor, etc. Install from package manager.
• devilspie2 0.42 is a window matching utility that performs Lua script-based actions on windows. Install from package manager. Depends: Lua (devx or repo) and libwnck (repo).

Here is a package and sfs for the latest build of Wine.

wine-2.3-i686-1.txz (186mb)
wine-2.3-710-1.sfs (205mb)

cherrytree-0.38.0-x86_64-1.txz a nice Note taking application like Notecase (674k).
dbus-python-1.1.0-x86_64-1.txz required dependency (121k).

[step]

@jake29, thanks.
@smokey01, nice app, thank you. Have you figure out a way to import notecase files into cherrytree?

Upload Java JDK 8u121, get it from SFS Manager or from here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/sfs/710/. It is listed in 710 but it's actually version-agnostic and can be used by earlier versions as well.

EDIT2: I have re-uploaded the 4.4.52-rt63 kernel. This kernel is configured for low-latency work, such as audio recording etc. It is patched with rt (real-time) patches, and is configured for PREEMPT_RTB (Basic RT). This is somewhere between "low-latency" kernel and "fully preemptible". The fully preemptible kernel - which I uploaded previously - didn't work; it was too unstable and had unpredictable lockups too often for comfort.

It's here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/kernels/710 and as above (from SFS Manager). Guide to replace kernel: http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/web/faqs/kernel.html

This is
Xfce4-4.10-x86_64-710.sfs - sha1 : 0b6031397f2aeb16a6a2357caa4eaebf118b8b9c
More than half of it , it's from the repo , so you might have perl,gstreamer,gvfs and some libraries loaded already . No gtk3 . I separated the locales from the main sfs . I borrowed from puppy community and I thank for XfcePowerTools , pup-volume-monitor , window manager switcher and the shutdown-gui script .

First of all : Once loaded and started , I couldn't unload the sfs ; in terminal I got "Device or resource busy" . Do make a backup of your savefile or try it with no savefile
To start - after loading the sfs , right-click for menu : Desktop -> A WM Switcher .
After starting Xfce you will see warnings , because sven already takes care of some keybindings . To get rid of warnings you should choose which program should take care of those keybindings : right-click on sven's icon from the panel or Xfce Menu -> Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts .
I suggest to install at least one more icon theme , for instance gnome icon theme from the repo is a valid one . I made some initial settings and put in a few plugins and apps.
A separate tarball for locales with packages in it :
Xfce4-4.10-nls-x86_64-710.tar.xz - sha1 : c543421f4e603b5de2d8ed5fbb70172e4d4e0577

I have chosen Xfce4-4.10 because I had problems with Xfce4-4.12 . The icon theme I could change it only manually with no GUI , editing /root/.gtkrc.mine file . Only from Change theme GTK theme chooser from Fatdog's Control Panel I was able to change themes and Xfce4-4.12 it's fatter too : it also loads gtk3 and deps , gstreamer2 and its plugins.
