Puppy Squeeze 009 Development

[James C]

Just got Trinity installed on Zen-006,haven't tweaked anything yet but appears to be working great.
Really looking forward to Trinitypup.

Added this to .mrxvtrc:
mrxvt-full*geometry: 40x30
mrxvt-full*transparent: true
mrxvt-full*Font: cursor Regular
mrxvt-full*foreground: #ECF502
Mrxvt.xftSize: 15

does Squeeze have a mrxvtrc located in /etc/mrxvt/mrxvtrc
If so it comes with a lot of options in 2.14X
here's the file

Code: Select all

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #
#
# For an example configuration file, you probably want to look at mrxvtrc.sample
# (provided with the source archive), and not this file.
#
# This is the system wide configuration file for mrxvt (versions 0.5.0 or
# higher). Only resources with application name 'Mrxvt' are read from this file.
# The only resources defined in this file are default macro (formerly hotkey)
# definitions for mrxvt.
#
# Preferably avoid making modifications to this file directly, but make
# modifications to your user config file (~/.mrxvtrc) instead. Remember that
# macros can be deleted by assigning "Dummy" to the keystroke.
#
# Starting mrxvt with --noSysConfig will disable reading this file completely.

[Iguleder]

The trinitypup experiment requires lots of reverse engineering work, I need to take a look at dejan555's kdpup and make the right choice of applications. GTK is in for sure because of gtkdialog and browsers, but the real question is applications, I want to start with replacing frontends (gnome-mplayer with kmplayer or whatever it was) and simple applications (xarchive with ark, text editors with kate and kwrite).

I want to examine the power management problem ... for some reason Trinity depends on a package named "hal-trinity" and it doesn't exist. I want to check this out.

This thing is fun

[Karl Godt]

ppower on my lappi is a compiled binary
and on dpup-008 it seems that it doesn't do anything
and on dpup-009 I had chosen Power saving and the light got dimmed
but it wouldn't revert back choosing Balanced or Performance.
To adjust C code for such is quite difficult I believe.

btw : finally got xosview compiled with libXpm XpmCreateImageFromData
by ./configure --x-libraries=/usr/lib ... The 4.3 series seems to have it at /usr/X11R7

[Iguleder]

Karl, it's a binary that runs /usr/local/ppower/setpower, just take a look at this script. In 009 it doesn't change the screen brightness because someone said he doesn't have any way to change it.

[Karl Godt]

echo 1 or 2 to
/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
at leafpad
because geany seems everywhere compiled without ascii or whatever support
really brightens up the lappi display.
I tested up to 17 but here it is a one number cipher ... so 9 had been brightest.
Didn't tried below 0 ( -1 ) but tried a and A without success.
I compared the setpower scripts from 008 and 009 and both lack (008 )

Code: Select all

case "$1" in
  performance)
     temp=performance
    ;;
    powersave)
    echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
    echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs 
    echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode 
       temp=powersave
    ;;
     balanced)
    temp=ondemand
    ;;

something that writes 4 and 8 to */brightness
and my brightness is at
/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness

so the script should be something like

Code: Select all

if test ! -f /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness; then
if test -f /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness; then
echo 8 > /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
    fi
    else
    echo 8 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
    echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs 
    echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode 
    fi
    temp=performance

which is working for me here quite well.
The 1500 writebacks and the 5 laptop_mode I have to goyabing for.
And of course this is the foundation for a dimming Tray-Applet I believe.

Iguleder said in initial message:
> "Important: when you upgrade to a newer Puppy Squeeze version, make sure you use a clean save file."

To contradict Iguleder , this is to testify that I made a successful upgrade from Squeeze 0.06 on live dvd to Squeeze 0.09, by preparing in advance another live dvd with Squeeze 0.09 on it. I "forced" the upgrade by inserting the dvd with the newer version as the save disk at the end of my session. It took a few minutes for the script to check what it needs to check, and then I had Squeeze 0.09 with the programs and personal settings and parameters I had saved initally while working with Squeeze 0.06.

So an upgrade is possible if the versions are not too far apart. Don't try this between Puppy 4.31 and Suqeeze 0.09, for example: the checking will take forever and you probably won't have results.

BFN.

The iso download mirror is down? I want to use this!

[Karl Godt]

How about adding
acpitool
from
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/acpitool
added this to .jwmrc & .jwmrc-previous Shutdown Menu :

Code: Select all

<Program label="Suspend to RAM -- light spleep" icon="zz.png">rxvt -e acpitool -s</Program>

and this is working like at Vista : Sleeps with blinking light and wakes up by hitting the Space bar.
I need this because of the startup problems of my lappi after poweroff.
I haven't tested acpitool -S because of this.

[Iguleder]

"Suspend-to-RAM" sounds interesting, I'll try to read about this to see if it's easy to implement on Puppy.

And by the way: I fixed the download links, something changed the permissions so all links were broken, but now it's fine.

Hi lguleder,

As gposil is no longer maintaining his dpup I checked out Squeeze 009 and dropped into debian dependency hell.

The puppy package manager put a lot of stuff into /root but could not find 3 or 4 libs and of course the programs would not work.

I think you are working on the problem with pdebthing and wish you luck. It's not easy to set up a new pup and there must be a lot of pressure of the sort that drove off gposil.

Regards Tony

[Iguleder]

Yep, dependencies are kinda complicated in Debian and its derivatives and there's nothing we can do about it, PPM is in Barry's Woof realm.

I made Pdebthing to solve this problem for big applications, it can make SFSs with all dependencies so no need to mess with PETs and PPM's partial or faulty dependency tracking.

[dejan555]

Err, tony, package manager downloads packages to /root only if you choose "Download Only" that's when it downloads packages but does not install them.

[tubeguy]

It's not easy to set up a new pup and there must be a lot of pressure of the sort that drove off gposil.

Regards Tony

FWIW, as I remember he was pretty excited and into it. My understanding is that other life things came up that pulled him away from the forum and development. But yeah, I imagine the pressure is there. I've always thought of dpup as "Debian Done Right", and it's amazing what has been accomplished already. My early distro-hopping included Debian, and I really liked it and wanted to use it but it was just too heavy and intractable on the lappie. Then dpup came along and was like a dream come true.

[Karl Godt]

added this to .jwmrc & .jwmrc-previous Shutdown Menu :

and of course also to
/etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc

had known this one or two month ago but had forgotten this.
think its time to compile jwm with a different path structure inside the .c
this scattering to /.jwm/ , .jwmrc , /etc is driving me crazy many times

for acpitool :
small -s is to RAM
big -S is to SWAP

[Karl Godt]

ppower/setpower at dpup009 :
changed 3 lines that had been like this :

Code: Select all

for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/level; do echo auto > $i; done

to

Code: Select all

if [ -d /sys/bus/usb/devices ]; then

cd /sys/bus/usb/devices

for i in `ls -1 *`; do

if [ -f $i/power/level ]; then
  echo 2>&1 $temp > $i/power/level 
  fi
  done
  fi

echo auto > $i/power/level always stops mouse working which starts working again after repluging the USB-mouse-reciever.
for i in `ls -d 1 seems not so good idea ..

also got urxvt transparency by

Code: Select all

urxvt*transparent: True

to .Xdefaults

[gposil]

FWIW guys, I will be back soon, I've had some pretty serious personal issues to resolve, thankfully nearly resolved.

I'll be back.........

[01micko]

I'll be back.........

Cheers!

[dejan555]

Heya gposil, glad you're back and that you're solving your issues.

[edoc]

FWIW guys, I will be back soon, I've had some pretty serious personal issues to resolve, thankfully nearly resolved.
I'll be back.........

Prayers in-agreement for strength and wisdom to see things through!
