005 - impressive development speed and looks great. I barely got to see 004. [oops, that's 004 & 003]

I had a problem get Pwireless2 going. I think it is a simple matter of where a couple of files are. According to /usr/loca/Pwireless2/config

Code: Select all

export DHCPCD="/usr/sbin/dhcpcd"
export WPA_SUPPLICANT="/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant"
export WPA_CLI="/usr/sbin/wpa_cli"
but the latter two files are in /sbin.

Maybe this?
Thanks Béèm, yes, but I doubt it still works like three years ago.
The big distros seem to have solved it, at least the ones I've tried (mainly Ubuntu, Mint and now Mint Debian) Most Debian derivates offer an easy way to solve it: just download numlockx from the repos.
I downloaded numlockx from the debian repos in 004 , it installed okay, but didn't set numlock on.

I really hope the clever guys here can solve this once and for all.

And this.
Happy reading.
What's needed is a little pop-up when right-clicking the date, offering direct access to formatting minixcal. Of course it can be done manually, like explained in the discussion Béèm points to, but I have done just that too many times. Wish I could write code...

My second attemp of recompiling seamonkey 2.0.7 to fix mail failed but I'll keep trying tomorrow.
I did compile geeqie (former gqview) image viewer though, gpicview is good choice for default image viewer in dpup but this is what I normally install and use as my default. I disabled nls in configure line but it made them anyway :lol:

geeqie-1.0-i486-dpup.pet 437 KB
geeqie_NLS-1.0-i486-dpup.pet 578 KB
geeqie_DOC-1.0-i486-dpup.pet 263 KB

tint2-0.11 tint2 pet compiled in dpup004

#125 Post by upnorth »

tint2 depends on imlib2, this dependency is satisfied with libimlib2 or equivalent. This .deb will do the trick (200k):
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i386 ... 2/download

The tint2-0.11_dpup004.pet includes:
etc/xdg/tint2/tint2rc
pet.specs
usr/bin/tint2conf
usr/bin/tint2
usr/share/man/man1/tint2.1
usr/share/pixmaps/tint2conf.svg
usr/share/pixmaps/tint2conf.png
usr/share/tint2/default_icon.png
usr/share/applications/tint2conf.desktop

tint2conf is under desktop>desktop setting>Panel tint2

here is one way to launch tint2 from .xinitrc without screwing with the original code - paste in the dashed lines and the code between them. This is toward bottom of .xinitrc just after the fbpanel and lxpanel code:

Code: Select all

  fbpanel &
 fi
 [ -f /usr/bin/lxpanel ] && lxpanel &
fi

#=============================
#support tint2 tray/taskbar...
#only launch tray for w.m. without inbuilt tray...
if [ "$CURRENTWM" != "jwm" -a "$CURRENTWM" != "icewm" -a "$CURRENTWM" != "fluxbox" ];then
 if [ "`which tint2`" != "" ]; then
#  xcompmgr&
  tint2&  
 fi
fi
#=============================

##w468 rox may not start old hardware, try again..
.

Optionally uncomment # xcompmgr& and install:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i386 ... r/download 23k

In the discussion I pointed to there is a small piece of code.
A symlink can be made on the desktop then or else it can be put in /root/Startup.
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).
Consult Wikka

There is a 2.0.8 version now, I downloaded the source and managed to compile it but have no idea how to package it.

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.13) Gecko/20100915 SeaMonkey/2.0.8

or maybe this is not an official release?

The SeaMonkey on my 4.32 install just auto-updated to 2.0.8 earlier today......guess it is official. :)

Billtoo,

There are three easy ways you can package. There are probably other methods too, but I have used all of these with varying degrees of success.

Puppy has it's own script called "new2dir" which sorts out a package. It was somewhat broken in Lupu but may work in Squeeze pup. Invoke after the source is compiled with:

Code: Select all

new2dir make install
Second way, if new2dir fails, try this

Code: Select all

make install DESTDIR=/whatever/directory/you/like
Third, try a program called Paco. See my dev tools link in my signature, it is very handy for compiling/packaging.

Cheers

Billto can you check if you can add your mail account, I compiled it too but mail didn't work correctly. We want browser and mail only, no chatzilla and composer. I doubt we're gonna use netsurf as default we are going to have full browser inside.

Can you guys make a PET with that numlock thing? I had an idea in mind, some gtkdialog wizard that use /etc/numlockrc or something which contains "on" or "off" and a script in /root/Startup that checks whether it's on or off and runs the numlock binary.

I think the best step forward at the moment is fixing all small problems because they persist since 002. So far:
- A added all missing libraries
- Finall, found what keeps setting the audio player to GNOME-Mplayer and disabled this
- Fixed some menu entries, wrong categories
- dejan555 made a new deadbeef, 15 KB bigger but doesn't have some non-functioning menu entries
- Recompiled the whole multimedia stack, more than 25 packages. The non-playing FLV files problem persists and I'm trying to locate the point of failure.

However, my plans for 005 are:
- Fix the touchpad issue, I want to test Squeeze on my netbook
- Test CUPS and xsane
- Fix the FLV issue
- Fix the Seamonkey issues so we can hear the wonderful barks

Development has been really really really fast and I'm kinda tired. I'm also busy with my personal life today. I want to give 004 a longer life cycle of more than 24 hours :lol:

The best way to go is making PETs for everything. That means I can slipstream the fix/application/whetever in one line of text and 3 seconds of processing.

I did try new2directory but that failed with an error, I didn't know about the other methods, thanks for the info.

The one I did has chatzilla, I used it for a couple of hours last night.
I don't have a mail account to test the other.

Opera Slow?

#139 Post by Fishy »

I installed Opera 10.62 as I find it usually faster and more responsive than other browsers. Not in squeeze, Monkey is blowing its' socks off. I hated to say that as I really like speed dial and other aspects of Opera. That could just be due to familiarity but has anyone else noticed a difference? :?

Yes i am finding the same - In the past Seamonkey has always been the slowest browser for me but it is working great in squeeze teamed up with pup-advert blocker i have not felt the need to change to another browser.
