Tahr NOP 6.0.2

Message

Nearly Office Pup is an XFCE based puplet, so called because it is a no frills pup without office apps. The idea being that you install to USB pendrive and add an SFS file of the office package (Libre Office, Softmaker etc).

This NOP is based on Tahr 6.0.2 PAE (kernel 3.14.20) with the new XFCE 4.12 desktop.
Added ffmpeg, mplayer and Pwidgets 2.5.6 but deleted all games, abiword, gnumeric, homebank, notecase, planner, geany, osmo, VLC, gstreamer, Qt, Python & more - but don't worry they can easily be added back to your pup with PPM.

get tahrNOP-2_6.0.2.iso (183 Mb) from http://download.tuxfamily.org/nop - md5sum file also here
Also at the NOP repository are pet packages to more easily add Python and QT back.

or download the iso from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6OcGX ... sp=sharing
with md5sum https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6OcGX ... sp=sharing

Known problems:
XFCE 4.12 is not as stable as the previous 4.10 version. In particular Thunar can crash or pop up an input/output error.

Updated to V2 - 23-3-15:
corrected ffmpegthumbnailer not working, added thunar-volman and whiskermenu, libsensors.

I'm excited to try your latest creation. No doubt it's an excellent one. Your NOPs introduced me to xfce on puppy, since then I have been hooked to this DE! Thanks.

Wow, gray I thought you were long gone.

It was your NOP that got me switched over to Puppy, back in (maybe) 4.2 days. Good to see you're still around! Will give this a spin

There appears to be a bug or something missing as svg wrapper don't work, this may be a problem with the Tahr pup 6.0.2 which I don't have installed to confirm.

Should be able to wrap an image and display it with this code saved as a .svg

Code: Select all

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMin slice" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 640 480" width="100%" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
       <image height="480" width="640" xlink:href="/PATH/TO/640x480.jpg"></image>
</svg>

Works fine in other pups that I've tried.

Cheers

Just confirming the that the svg wrapper don't display an image in Tahr 6.0.2 either, I'll post a bug report.

hi geoffrey,

if you add this to the start does it work as you expect?

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.1" encoding="UTF-8"?>

so

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.1" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMin slice" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 640 480" width="100%" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

@666philb

that don't work either, I've posted a bug report http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 532#833532

witekjeden :

I don't have a GPRS modem so I can't test, but I think you are right, there is a flaw in the pgprs-connect script. I believe that line 6 should have an & on the end before the #, i.e . /etc/ppp/gprs.conf & #130812...

Attached is the corrected script, just unzip and copy to /usr/bin

Only with xfce, right?

number698 · #13 Post by **number698** » Tue 17 Mar 2015, 20:22

hi grey,

i've loaded the kodi.sfs - but kodi does not start up. I've also tried installing XBMC from the ppm - but that also failed to start.

Could anyone point out what's wrong/missing ?

smokey01 · #14 Post by **smokey01** » Wed 18 Mar 2015, 01:08

number698,

Have you tried this one?
http://www.smokey01.com/software/tahr-6 ... 0-tahr.sfs
It works for me on tahr-6.0.2

number698 · #15 Post by **number698** » Wed 18 Mar 2015, 08:31

thanks smokey01 - iv'e just tied your suggestion - still no start up.

i have no trouble with kodi in "tahrpup 6.0.2 CE" but in" Tahr NOP 6.0.2" somthing seems to be missing ?

i'm a big fan the xfce and (thanks to gray) would like to stick with this pup - just need kodi working

smokey01 · #16 Post by **smokey01** » Wed 18 Mar 2015, 09:00

Try running the binary in a terminal it will show you what is wrong or missing.

number698 · #17 Post by **number698** » Wed 18 Mar 2015, 15:11

ok - thanks

root# ./kodi
./kodi: line 141: python: command not found

so, searched python in the ppm - well, lots of related results ???

i've reached my limited capability - thanks anyway.

number698 · #18 Post by **number698** » Wed 18 Mar 2015, 16:13

hmm, ok gray, you said - - but don't worry they can easily be added back to your pup with PPM.

installed kodi = no go
installed rox = no indication this is now installed/working.
searched for 'notecase' in ppm = no rusults

I'm now woried

still loxe xfce - thanks gray

number698 · #19 Post by **number698** » Wed 18 Mar 2015, 17:41

no menu entry for rox but found it opened up when mounting an iso in thunar, seems to be acting as should.

installed the notecase pet 'notecase-1.9.8-prescott.pet' but it's not showing its window properly when min/max and switching workspaces.

as for kodi - hmmph, that's beyond me
