tahrpup64 6.0.5 CE

[icake]

Thanks 666philb for all the work on tahrpup64.

I have made 2 half-Chinese and 2 Chinese Language pets for tahr64 6.0.2. These will enable users to display and input Chinese (applicable to both Simplified and Traditional Chinese) in tahrpup64 6.0.2.

[LazY Puppy]

Hi.

I don't know if anyone has posted this, but Tahr 64 6.0.2 seems to lack pfilesearch, so pfind won't work.

Can I just install a version from the forum?

[LazY Puppy]

Please have a look first at my post above.

Also pgprs is not included (WoofCE trouble, but fixed lately by mavrothal).

Like in Tahr 6.0 I installed the package from Slacko 5.7 (provided by SFR earlier) and it works out of the Box - now online using Thar 64 with an modified initrd.gz (init script).

Hi.

Just discovered a third issue.

When extracting a .pet (by right click action), the wrapper exits with an error.

'tar -xf internet-fix21947.tar.gz' failed in
/mnt/sdd1/Downloads/00-2015-03-19-Tahr64 with error code 2.

'tar -xf pgprs-s5720425.tar.gz' failed in
/mnt/sdd1/Downloads/2015-03-19 with error code 2.

The internet-fix.pet was downloaded from forum and the pgprs-s57.pet was build using Tahr64.

This doesn't seem to happen on all .pet packages.

Extracting pfilesearch-2.1.pet and pfind-6.2.pet (downloaded from forum) finished successfully. Also some of my own .pet packages (created with a Lucid and/or Precise based Puppy) do extract successfully.

Any hints?

Thanks.

hi LazY Puppy

yes there's quite a bit wrong with tahrpup64! the biggest problem is ..

one bug that keeps occuring.

in /lib and /usr/lib there are symlinks called 'x86_64-linux-gnu' which are links to the /lib and /usr/lib folders

occasionally when installing something, either manually or from the PPM, the symlink gets overwritten with an actual folder causing catastrophic failure needing hard power off. you then need to boot pfix=ram and delete the folder & .wh file to rescue the save.

i don't recommend using tahrpup64 at the moment as so much needs fixing. i will revisit it eventually (when i get some time) and see if i can get it up to snuff

Hi, and thanks for the reply.

I'm not really using Tahr64 like I'm doing it with my private LazY Puppy. But since I'm now owning a 64bit Computer, I want to test some of the 64bit Puppies. Also I found some of my applications needs refining and additions for the use in a 64bit Puppy.

The i386-linux-gnu/x86_64-linux-gnu related issue I gladly was able to solve for my current version of PaDS. So I can produce now SFS Modules for 32bit and 64bit Ubuntu based Puppy, that has moved the libs to the Puppy location and replaced the i386-linux-gnu/x86_64-linux-gnu directories by the symbolic link to ./ in /lib and /usr/lib.

But I found these directories sometimes also in /bin, so I need to add code for /bin and /usr/bin (just to complete it, didn't found any in there by now).

Especially for my needs there is no need to make a rush to put up a new version, since I'm doing my current "remasters" of Tahr64 just temporarily "on the fly" by using strictly SFS Modules (mounting to top layers and/or normal layers) plus the advantages presented in my Getting closer... or ...editing the initrd.gz Topic.

I had chosen to use Tahr64 Puppy for this because I have already build a LazY Puppy based on Tahr 6.0 CE PAE. Like it very much so far. A new DE LazY Puppy, again for the use on a German Public School by German user der-schutzhund, will be build based on Tahr 6.0.2 and we will start to work on this in the beginning of April 2015 (just to mention it).

I give TahrPup 6.02 32bit an A++ It's the only PL I use at this time.

I can't wait until the 64bit is stable... What I'd like to know is: if it will be able to run a 64bit version of virtualbox (that supports multi-core virtualization)?

[watchdog]

Is there a 32 bit compatibility sfs for this testing tahrpup64? I need multilib.
CUPS not working for me (Internal Server Error).
Light-encryption not working.

[rcrsn51]

CUPS not working for me (Internal Server Error).

1. Make the device node /dev/random all-readable.

2. Move all the files in /usr/lib/cups/backend-available into /usr/lib/cups.

Look in Fatdog for how they handle 32-bit printer drivers. There are various 64-bit printer drivers for Fatdog, but they may install files into /usr/lib64/cups. You will need to move them to /usr/lib/cups.

It worked! I made /dev/random all readable and moved the content of /usr/lib/cups/backend-available in /usr/lib/cups/backend. Brother printers drivers are in PPM. My main laser printer now works. I failed installing hplip by PPM with savefile corruption. Many thanks.

[rcrsn51]

Brother printers drivers are in PPM

Please explain what you did, step-by-step. In my experience, all Brother printer drivers are 32-bit. Or did you use the built-in Gutenprint driver?

[watchdog]

Ubuntu repositories have deb 64 bit packages for Brother printers. I don't remember well but I searched for brother and installed the "common" deb packages for brother printers and laser brother printers. Then I installed the specific deb packages for brother-laser printer (the basic one and examining dependencies) and I was able to install Hl2130 using Hl2030 foomatic (the recommended choice) and to print the test page. I can't be more detailed because I have lost my savefile trying to install hplip for the known bug:

I went to openprinting.org and got the HL2030 PPD file. It uses the foomatic-rip CUPS filter, which is built into Tahrpup. This looks good enough to install the printer.

Regarding HPLIP: the Fatdog contributor repo at ibiblio has hplip_print and hplip_scan packages. However, you will need to unpack the PETs and change /usr/lib64 to /usr/lib. They worked for me.

BTW, I tried the Fatdog 32bit compatibility pack which is Slacko-based, but it failed.

hplip_print_fd600-3.14.4.pet does not need to be repackaged. For hplip_scan_fd600-3.14.4.pet repackaging is needed renaming /usr/lib64 as /usr/lib.

EDIT: hp printer Photosmart C3190 not correctly install. The scanner works. Not the printer. Filter failing even with the repackaging of the fatdog pet. Trying some workarounds.

BTW, I tried the Fatdog 32bit compatibility pack which is Slacko-based, but it failed.

I tried, too, without success. 32 bit compatibility pack wanted for skype! I managed a good install repairing the xanad's tahr64 media edition with italian localization.

e.g. slacko64 and a trusty64 built with jamesbond's woof-ce-next..

Is there a download link to try those two pups?

?????
It has /usr/lib64/cups/filter/hpcups. I got an HP Deskjet to work by moving this file.

Don't forget to reboot the unit after switching between scanner and printer.

Hello stemsee

This is a bit of a timewarp!

The slacko64 stuff is still here:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/test/slacko64/

For the woof-next-james stuff go here:

https://github.com/jamesbond3142/woof-CE

and here

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=94101

I had never built anything before, but jamesbond's instructions are so clear that I didn't have much difficulty building a more-or-less working puppy.

It's a year ago that I tried it, and I deleted the ISO long ago, but it only takes 10 minutes to build a puppy using jamesbond's woof-ce-next.

The only requirement, not mentioned in the readme is a real dpkg not the busybox one. I built it using a fatdog kernel.

I don't know anything about how puppies manage savefiles and shutdown, so I couldn't attempt to debug it.

jamesbond has been too busy with fatdog 7 and "other things" to develop it further since then.

@LateAdopter

I had built a few dysfunctional pups with woof-next when it first appeared! But the biggest problem for me was the inability to connect to the internet, and I tried a lot ways to get it working, so I put it on hold! I thought you had cracked it!
