@Atle, I am re-uploading scribus-qt5. For some reason my original package got clobbered so I'm not sure what I put in ibiblio.

Anyway, I have just tested it running with a clean setup.
This is what I did to get it to work right:
a) install qt5-5.4.1
b) install python-2.7.6
c) install libwebp
d) install libicu-52.1
e) install scribus-qt5-1.5.0
All are available from the 700 repo.

And then scribus will launch (you need to launch it via Alt-F2 since there is no menu entry). I tested creating a new document, insert a text frame, and export to PDF. That as far as it works.

There are still problems:
- no desktop file
- dependencies are not correctly specified, so you need to manually install the above
But all these are workable and I'll fix it later.

Oki... This is great JamesBond,...

I start off with a fresh 700 and do what you say and report back to HQ... Over..

Just for the sake of clarification... Is desktop file and menu entry the same?

Here is why I launch this request... Its in Norwegian only at the moment, but it will also be in English soon...

http://www.bmedia.no

The idea is to let people cooperate and produce newspapers for free trough the site. Off course printing is not for free and not delivered. But newspapers aint what it used to be and we need to take things in to our own hands,,,
Atle

***UPDATED***

Did your recipe and it work great.

Oki... there are two minor issues...

The file format for Scribus ends with .sla

When i try to start scribus from that it opens in a Geany
And the other you know with no menu entry

One of the great things about Scribus worked RIGHT OUT OF THE BLOODY BOX and that is the ability to edit images in GIMP and save them RIGHT BACK to Scribus as you go...

Even the ability to open templates from scribus templates works great... So as for me it all seems great apart from that the file icon is not like a Scibus icon and the issues mentioned above

I hope for a desktop icon as the entire point of the spin off IS Scribus. I await some input on these things and will the repack a spinn off and make it available for testers at Scribus forum etc.

Your REALLY good at this JamesBond... Seriously...

***END OF THIS UPDATE***

Thanks, Atle. I will see if I can fix those issue soon. Once done I'll re-upload the package and give you a notification in this thread.

Meanwhile, I've just uploaded fatdog-wallpaper.sfs to the repo. This contains a collection of contributed Fatdog wallpapers over the years, from Puppy Wallpapers thread. I couldn't put them in the base ISO for size reasons, but it's quite a waste to let them buried in that thread, so I collected Fatdog-specific wallpapers and put them into an SFS. Once the SFS is loaded, they can be accessed as usual, from /usr/share/background using Micko-updated-Nathan-Wallpaper-Setter as usual.

It has works from futwerks, David Andrew, Catdude, among the few. If any of you know any other Fatdog-specific wallpapers that you want to share, let me know and I'll merge it to the collection.

Atle · #1024 Post by **Atle** » Fri 20 Nov 2015, 09:54

Thanks Jamesbond...

I await a bit then before proceed.

As for the wallpapers... I got a little idea. I even dear to say its kind of neat and fairly close to sexy...

One thing that many likes with Scribus is that when your working on a document, and there is a image involved, you can choose to EDIT the image and it will start GIMP. Once you have done whatever you wanted in GIMP, you can save it right back to the document. I really love that feature.

What if the same appealed also for the wallpaper thing your are talking about?

When you use Nathans Wallpaper "mamanger", you can click on a wallpaper and it comes up for editing in GIMP, then one needs to figure out how to save it right back to its original folder and not in documents, desktop, downloads or whereever one ususally keep's por.. I mean images and so forth...

Do i explain it in a proper way?

I think the hard part is to make GIMP understand this is another "SCRIBUS OPERATION", where it does not ask where you like to save or anything, but just saves it right into your open document.

Just a idea...

But anyhow... thanks so far...

BTW... I am trying to figure out what is needed to get a Scribus file icon up ande going. I noted there is a very bright and easy solution, but i could not figure out what the file ending should be or the file format.

Yesterday, I was playing with Samba (locally) for the first time - I started the Samba service in Control Panel and then launched ~/Shares/Network app.
Everything worked as expected, so I unmounted the share and stopped the service.
Shortly after, while trying to access a TrueCrypt volume, I saw this:

Code: Select all

ParametrIncorrect at TrueCrypt::CoreUnix::MountVolume:569

Well, the volume was mounted, but not accessible via TC's GUI, therefore couldn't be unmounted other than manually (cryptsetup close ... + losetup -d ...).

Anyway, here's the deal: by default Fatdog's /etc/mtab is a symlink to /proc/mounts.
umount.cifs replaces /etc/mtab symlink with a real file, what, for some reason, confuses TC/VC.
Adding '-n' option to all 'umount.cifs ...' commands in Network/AppRun and Network/scripts/part2 has fixed this issue for me.

Greetings!

And in /usr/loca/share/yassm/* too. Thanks, SFR.

No idea what you want to tell the world with this...

Anyhow, as

You wrote:Just for the sake of clarification... Is desktop file and menu entry the same?

here is the clarification:
menu entries are composed from values in .desktop files.

For example scribus:
Name does not exist in Bokmål language
GenericName exists in Bokmål language

Menu entry is composed from:

Name=Scribus
GenericName[nb]=Datatrykkeprogram

Hope your menu wrote:

Code: Select all

Scribus (Datatrykkeprogram)

if
- you have your locale set to nb_NO (I have done it)
- you have created that scribus.desktop file
.

Hello everybody, i'm using fatdog64 701 for a couple of mounths, i like it a lot

Aufs works great here, it keeps my SD card clean of unneeded write cycles, i'm not using any HDD or SSD at all. But i want to ask you guys, how to mount /aufs/devsave and /aufs/pup_save with custom mount options, like noatime nodiratime? currently it mounts with relatime. I've looked through http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/source/700/ but couldn't find any place to dig in... I've thought about recompiling busybox's mount to make it default those options, but i don't think it is the best solution. Can somebody help me? I will apreciate that a lot.

Tried to install AMD catalyst drivers in Fatdog using the driver from ibiblio packages (AMD Athlon x2 2.4 and AMD Radeon HD 5450). I got segmentation fault when i try to enter GUI to config.

Seems that free radeon driver still running at boot, but seeing modprobe config files (etc/modprobe.d) is blacklisted. Any way to blacklist definitively?

Final question. Compiled Mesa driver is ready to use with OpenCL (to don't bother in use prop drivers and run with the free instead)?

Have you tried adding blacklist=MODULENAME to the kernel line of your bootloader configuration file? Replace MODULENAME with the appropriate module name for your case, which I don't know because I'm using Nvidia.

Fglrx now runs, but i still seeing "segmentation fault" everytime when i open glxgears, Catalyst Control Center or try to see if OpenGL is running.

Someone tried this driver since Fatdog 7 release?

chillinfart · #1034 Post by **chillinfart** » Mon 23 Nov 2015, 19:46

This is the segmentation fault shown with Fatdog and Catalyst (with default Kernel, 3.18.7).

I blacklisted open radeon drivers and still with issues. Testing commands wih aticonfig driver is working, GUI and any glx app to test aren't.

EDIT: Openarena tested, the same error, "segmentation fault".

Hello. I have been using wired tethering to go to Internet on non-Android phone so far and it has been working. Now I have an Android phone which does not allow wired tethering but only bluetooth tethering. Fatdog control panel has an option to do that. But unfortunately it is not working for me. I am attaching the log herewith. Kindly someone tell me how to make it working. Thanks.

chillinfart · #1036 Post by **chillinfart** » Fri 27 Nov 2015, 17:41

I found a single fglrx module in fatdog package repository. Is valid to use it with AMD official installer or is the same module appeared in radeon package made for fatdog?

Hello @Venkat2015

This is NOT answering your FATDOG bluetooth tethering concern. But, you may have better results if for no other reason beyond the speed benefit.

Set you Android up as a Hotspot! Turn it on/off at your leisure. You'll be amazed at the benefit.

Hope this helps

chillinfart · #1038 Post by **chillinfart** » Fri 27 Nov 2015, 19:23

fglrx module replaced, still with issues. Someone can explain this?

Thanks @gcmartin. I have a netbook with wifi so the hotspot is fine with that. I also have a desktop which has no wifi. So the only way to get onto internet is thru bluetooth DUN. Slacko5.7 is my everyday goto desktop. I searched puppy forum and got the instructions to setup DUN and it is working great. Now I have a android phone which does not support wired thethering or DUN. The only option seems to be PAN. I was not successful setting up PAN on slacko. I noticed FATDOG has bluetooth thethering support out of the box. So I tried that. Phone says thethering is active and sharing internet connection with one device. But no connection is available on the desktop. I tried ElementaryOS and MintKDE. Same result there too. So looks like I need to fix something somewhere for which I am not knowledgeable enough. So still searcing for a fix.
