One of my main interests in Puppy is as a development server for PHP sites. In terms of modularity, I'd love to see the following options

- Base Hiawatha install
Optional additional packages:
- php with sqlite support
- php with mysql support
- php with both.

Would it be possible to just add Quisp ...

Okay, LS_colors explained explains the options. To set them, add this to ~/.bashrc:
alias ls='ls --color'
LS_COLORS='di=1:fi=0:ln=31:pi=5:so=5:bd=5:cd=5:or=31:mi=0:ex=35'
export LS_COLORS

I got an error when I inserted spaces, so don't do that. Note that 0 is the default color.

For quick ...

I'm running Puppies 4.3.1 which has Firefox 3.5.2 with Murga forum search in the search box - that would produce the same results, no?

This page gives useful documentation of the options displayed by rxvt --help: http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/rxvt1.html

Through this, I found three more options I want to tweak:
Rxvt*scrollBar_floating: true
Rxvt*title: consolepup
Rxvt*geometry: 80x65


The geometry option makes the window ...

As the 'computer guy' in my own office, I can identify with the impatience behind a "RTFM" response like this. And I generally do try to search for an answer before I ask others for help.

In this case however, google did not produce anything. Perhaps I didn't use ...

You're right, Tom - it is kind of slow.

I'm finding though that if I don't use the mouse, the game is quite playable. The mouse highlight takes forever to move around.

The game is fortunately designed to be completely playable by keyboard. In a way, this is nice - it brings the game back to it's ...

Thanks!

IT WORKS IT WORKS IT WORKS!!!

Huzzah!

I just exited X, ran xorgwizard one more time, restarted x, and fired up the game, and instead of som nasty error it gave me a beautiful big screen with the game.

I have named my first character Technosaurus, in your honour, a Draconian Paladin.

Now I have ...

Okay, I removed all the previous SDL and xorg-dri packages that I'd accumulated. Then I installed your two SDL pets and the basic xorg-xorg-dri pet.

Now I get this error:
Failed to set video mode: couldn't find matching GLX visual

I'm not sure, but I feel that this is closer, perhaps just an ...

Those screengrabs make me very happy! I can almost smell goblin blood...

I think this is my Xorg.conf.

Incidentally, I'm now getting a different error:

./crawl: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Welll I reran xorgwizard after installing xorg-full-dri but no dice - same OpenGL error. Is it possible that my video card can't support OpenGL?

manually compositing a bunch of xorg.conf files from puppy and other live distros

Do you mean cobbling together my own xorg.conf file based on snippets ...

Wow, it would have taken me a long time to figure out that I needed to do all that. Thanks. Thanks!!!

I found the binary in usr/games/crawl/ but when I ran it it said something to the effect of "Failed to load icon: Couldn't open dat/tiles/stone_soup_icon-32x32.png"

I noticed that there was a "dat ...

I don't know if this helps shed any light on the problem, from Ubuntu Forums:

1. download the stone soup code from, http://sourceforge.net/project/downl...-0.4.5-src.zip. Remember where it is!
2. install the following prerequisites before we compile
3. sudo apt-get install libpng3
4. sudo apt-get ...

Buggernuts - same errors with the new SDL package (though I had uninstalled xorg-full-dri - but I can't use that without breaking X. Hm.

I want to change the colours in rxvt - can anyone tell me how to do that?

Hi - I'm a relative newbie to Linux but am falling in luv with the puppy project. I've used Ubuntu / Linux Mint on and off over the past five years but am being won over to the puppy way (even if it sometimes takes more work, I just love that it makes my old P4 into a kickass desktop that only 25W ...

I thought I had posted a link in my first post but apparently not! It's http://sourceforge.net/projects/crawl-ref/files/

I'm trying to compile the "tiles" version (which has a graphical interface instead of ASCII) I believe there is a makefile-tiles.unix which is not set as the default makefile ...

Now I'm mostly replying just to document this.

I found that someone (wow) has posted a PET of SDL with opengl support over at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 424#283424. Can't wait to try that tonight!

I installed the xorg-full-dri package as well as the DEV package and ran the xorg wizard like you suggested. Now Xorg doesn't work any more.

Incidentally, according to this thread I didn't need the full dri package.

But this is moot if Xorg is borked. Good thing I have a save of my pupsave file ...

Are you saying this will let me compile SDL or this will let me compile Dungeon Crawl?

Guess I can find out by trying to compile Dungeon Crawl again. (scurries off to command line...)

I'm determined to get this program compiled. I know it's possible!
