Puppy Squeeze 009 Development

[Iguleder]

Alright, added to 005

Atm I'm building the first 005, a clean Woof run, with all the new stuff since 004, let's hope it works well

EDIT: more juicy details.

This one has ffmpeg from Quirky plus some extra libraries compiled on 004 because Quirky's are a bit older. It has new Seamonkey and DeaDBeeF, Squeeze-Right-Click, new mhwaveedit-retrovol, the cool wallpapers, new volume/wireless icons, new Abiword with plugins, "sheet" instead of "calc", a dummy xorg.conf and many other tiny improvements I can't think of

[dr-kart]

is it possible to turn wi-fi device off on laptop?
There is no "rfkill" command and "rfkill-upgrade-k2.6.33.2.pet" is not suitable for dpup (but for 5.1.1)

[Iguleder]

Ummm... interesting. The kernel is same in both.

I added rfkill from Debian to 005, let's see what happens

[pemasu]

2.6.33.2 kernel used in luci does not have rfkill enabled.

Rfkill needs compiling the rfkill module and all addendum wireless moduless just like tempestuous did with that rfkill-upgrade.pet. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 093#452093
Also compiling the kernel rfkill enabled is solution I compiled the kernel in luci rfkill and hibernate enabled. It worked but the initrd.gz update was pain.

[Iguleder]

I think we should wait for the 5.2 kernel. playdayz wants 2.6.35.x or 2.6.36.x, that's another reason why I didn't bother with compiling a custom kernel for dpup.

I never compiled a Puppy kernel, but I think it's time to try, once 005 is out
A 2.6.35.4 with BFS, ck1, Zen patches, latest Aufs2 and some extra performance tuning patches ... sounds great, doesn't it?

EDIT: dejan555, can you upload your hacked DeaDBeeF sources? I'd like to try something interesting, menu entries for retrovol and gxine

[pemasu]

Also latest kernels has switcheroo possibility to switch between dual graphichs.

[Iguleder]

Ummm ... I think we shouldn't update mtpaint for two reasons:
- Extra size
- InkscapeLite is no longer needed and it's the only svg editor that is this small

However, if we chose to compile mtpaint, the "draw" icon can be replaced with a HTML editor icon, but nobody uses HTML editors these days anyway, so it's a bad idea imho

Just tell me what you think.

[dejan555]

Sure Iguleder, here I attach the two files I edited just replace them over the existing ones in ./plugins/gtkui

While I'm here I'll share new desktop screenie with image creatd using pixlr Note that it doesn't sae always to your pc though, I had to publish this one to imm.io then save to computer

So mtpaint now does svg graphic editing too, or it just opens them?



Image is @ http://imm.io/1m9f

[Iguleder]

Thanks for the sources, nice desky

I have no idea, actually, I just integrated that PET. By the way, the new mhwaveedit is out, bad menu entry.

I'll upload mhwaveedit, mtpaint and deadbeef, I'll try to hack all three to for 006, my current focus is getting xorg and cups fully fixed

There is also a possibility that InkscapeLite can be replaced with pixlr, but I don't think it's a good idea.

Great job on this.
I installed frugally on a Dell Inspiron 1501 with the only problems being some missing libs between the keyboard and headrest.

Seamonkey, my favorite browser, is as fast as ever.

The default theme is pleasing and I'll probally stick with that.

Photography and media playback are the other two important uses for me so for the next couple of days I'll be playing with whats included along those lines. Was sorry to see gtkam go as it is able to transfer raw files. I'll be looking at Rawstudio and GIMP for this as well.

I look forward to 005!

[Iguleder]

Made a first 005 ISO.

Issues:
- No FLV video, missing library from Quirky, added it and FLV works
- Added a dummy xorg.conf, should fix keyboard/touchpad problems
- New first-run wizard
- Fixed the Seamonkey PET's menu entries
- Still no barks, the old first-run wizard had a typo
- Fixed the Dpup Safe Browser
- New Abiword from Debian, fixes the smudged Abiword issue
- Fixed all default application issues
- Xbindkeys won't auto-start, fixed this, now the PrintScreen key works

Issues fixed:
- Seamonkey's mail problem
- Seamonkey's fonts
- Default audio player

Other stuff:
- The cool Open Source wallpaper
- The desktop "calc" icon is now titled "sheet" as dejan555 suggested

Working on:
- A hacked DeaDBeeF, yes, the third one already
- Fine-tuning to zzSqueeze_Utilities

[dejan555]

Sweet, I expect deltas from 004 -> 005

[Iguleder]

More stuff:
- Recompiled DeaDBeeF with ffmpeg support, 203 KB in total
- Added a Seamonkey address book menu entry
- More fixes

There will be deltas, I promise. I assume they're going to be big ... the current 005 is 131 MB, kinda big but has some goodies

[Billtoo]

I used the deltas to create the new iso and devx of 005, then burned
the dvd.
Running live with a save file and did the usual setup stuff.

Installed Quickpet,Nvidia_driver,Vlc,and Google Earth from Lucid.

From debian repos in puppy package manager I installed:
Qt4,Tunapie 2.1.17,Dosbox 0.74,Icewm 1.3.7pre2,Icewm themes,Weechat
0.32,Irssi 0.8.15,xchat 2.8.8,Fluxbox 1.1.1,Gimp 2.6.10,Htop 0.83 and
Lxterminal 0.1.8.

Working good so far

[Brown Mouse]

Found 005 harder to configure the Nvidia drivers than the previous 4,however got there in the end but I couldn't find the 256.35 driver in ppm.Sure it was there in the past.

Not been able to start Gxine.From a terminal I see this
gxine: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

[Iguleder]

Darn it, I already fixed that issue

I made a new Seamonkey PET with symlinks for all Mozilla libraries, I guess I forgot to replace the old one with it. Just make a symlink from /usr/lib/seamonkey-2.0.8/libmozjs.so.

[DaveS]

Just installed 005. No bugs so far (early days right?). Transparency is working in JWM, No problems with Seamonkey. Will dump it shortly and install 2.1 alpha3.
Going to mess with the print screen thing now.......

Edit.. Oh, OK, its working

[upnorth]

Up and running 005


Openbox gave a warning on start so i looked at seamonkey-mail.desktop:

In seamonkey-mail.desktop changed:
Exec=seamonkey -Mail "$@"
to
Exec=seamonkey -mail

and

Name=Seamonkey mail & news
to
Name=Seamonkey mail news

Now it launches seamonkey mail from menu. And the warnings dissappeared. It seems openbox was sensitive to the "&" symbol, and according to seamonkey --help, the switch is now "-mail"

[DaveS]

Transparency thanks to upnorth

[smokey01]

It seems to keep focus on the menus when right clicked.

EG: if you right click on the menu system then click on a desk top icon, the icon does not open the program. You have to click a second time to get focus.

I can confirm the gxine issue.

Otherwise looking really good.
