Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

The upgrade of ffmpeg from 3.x.x to 4.x.x in VoidPup64 version +14 is welcome, but it does mean that some of my previous application builds needed re-compiling. I have now done that. These are mostly intended for my own experimentation and use, but others are welcome to inspect and test them. In vlc ...

Viewnior -1.8 is installed and working from left click as default image viewer and right-click menu on image files in ROX, but it is missing a main menu entry . A quick edit of /usr/share/applications/viewnior.desktop will fix this. Change the Categories line from Categories=X-Uncategorized to ...

Hello step, Yes, the dunstify executable is included in dunst-1.9.0 and it is in those packages. The dunst daemon is starting and running correctly as far as I can tell, but when it gets triggered by applications like Audacious or Transmission it is mostly only repeating information which I can ...

I am sure you will get lots of suggestions and advice. It is one thing trying to get something going for yourself on one specific machine. It is a bit more involved if you are offering it as a service to other users with each having their own individual hardware. I think you will find that Puppy ...

Testing dunst-1.9.0 desktop notification daemon With new recursive icon lookup feature Compiled in VoidPup +13 with newer glibc so may not work in earlier VoidPup builds Some more information in the "Desktop" section here http://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=76264 Running cleanly in my brief ...

Website for it is here https://dunst-project.org/ Version 1.9.0 released in June 2022 introduces "recursive icon lookup" which searches extensively through your icon themes to display suitable icons along with text in notification messages. I have been compiling it to test with "PREFIX=/usr ...

I don't know if this is the problem here, but I can tell you that with a lot of these proxy-type download web sites, the hackers are quite cunning. There is often an invisible layer of links on the web page which is see-through, but it is on top of the web page that you are viewing so you think you ...

I think using Void's one would drag in extra dependencies which would be considered surplus to requirements for a Puppy. The best approach, in my opinion, is to create a custom Puppy build of ffmpeg, but latest version of 4.4.x branch so that all the library version numbers will match up with all ...

As a test I compiled abiword-3.0.5 from source in VoidPup, configured for GTK2 and with 7 plugins. Looks clean as a whistle in terminal. The rsvg plugin might have been nice to add, but it seems to look for the glib headers in the wrong location. Maybe possible to fix that but for now I built with ...

I also can't seem to get the error log going Thanks for testing. I had never tried the logging function before but the plugins for logging are present and it seems to work here. I just enabled it in the Preferences, set the path to /root/vlc-log.txt and the log file was created at that location ...

In addition to those executive programs and tools, a good chunk of the devx will be the components of all the libraries that are only required for development and not needed at runtime. This will include the headers (mostly under /usr/include), static libraries (can be quite big), those symlinks ...

I will have a look at your pet. Should I uninstall this one first? Yes, uninstall any previous versions before installing this one. It has the executable in /usr/local/bin so make sure you don't have any /usr/bin/vlc still lingering. I would not expect most of those other builds to support RTSP ...

. I think I will try the 3.0.12 you suggested. I have had a go at compiling VLC-3.0.18 in FossaPup and I have tried to include live555 support. Perhaps you would be willing to test it and let me know if it works with your RTSP stream? I see that there are settings in Preferences > Input/Codecs ...

On VLC I tried several formats for the link and got the standard cannot open rtsp stream error. Again the version I ran in wine worked fine. I believe that for RTSP, VLC needs to be compiled with live555 support. FossaPup does not have this as standard and with many of my VLC builds I try to stick ...

Hello peppyy, Is Palemoon running as root or as spot? There used to be an issue with browsers in earlier Pups when they moved to GTK3, but GTK3 theme support was not provided very well in Puppy. Nowadays I think it is satisfactory in Woof-CE and I thought it was OK in FossaPup. I recall the issue ...

vlc-3.0.12-x86_64-fossa.pet 01-Nov-2022 04:18 5.0M It would be interesting to know what issues you were experiencing and also which version you were using and where you obtained it from. The one you mentioned above may be this one (possibly re-uploaded elsewhere) which I compiled from source in ...

Audacious audio player version 4.2 Compiled from source in S15Pup. Most of the optionals are included, plays midi files as well as most audio formats as either files or streams, GTK2 interface, note the little touches like reporting of the Puppy Version at the bottom of the Preferences window ...

In the "Puppy Standard" icon theme, the file /usr/share/icons/Puppy Standard/index.theme if opened as text has the line:- Inherits=Hicolor (with upper case "H") Should this not be:- Inherits=hicolor (with lower case "h") ? Same applies to the "Puppy Flat" theme in Pups which have this. I do note ...

The problem is that you need to find and enter the stream URL not the web page URL. If you are initially finding the audio stream (or radio station) via a web page, you do usually need to search for the direct media stream URL. Often you will find that they give it to you in some form as a link. In ...

Is audacious audio player not suitable? Here is one that I compiled in BionicPup32 some time ago:- http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks/audacious-4.1-i686-bionic.pet It displays song information (if it is being sent) as well as other information like station name and stream web domain, plus you have the ...

ffmpeg is installed, but ffplay is not. Deliberately? I think it happens because ffplay requires SDL2 and the ffmpeg packages are compiled from source in (sometimes other) Puppies. If SDL2 is not found in the build environment at compile time, the missing dependency is auto-detected and ffplay is ...

Are you running 64bit Slacko 7.0 ? To run as root you have to comment out lines 85 - 88 in the start-tor-browser script To have audio you need to make sure apulse libraries are loaded In Slacko64 7.0 there is also the problem of missing wayland dependency which can be fixed with a simple shared ...

VLC now version 3.0.18 Compiled from source in S15Pup and packaged as .pet Uploaded for testing http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks/vlc-3.0.18-x86_64-s15p.pet (64bit) http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks/vlc-3.0.18-i686-s15p.pet (32bit) NOTE:- The VLC website has a security bulletin saying that some ...

guvcview-2.0.8 compiled from source code in S15Pup RC5 This is a small .pet package of this Webcam viewer which also captures still pictures and video/audio. It has SDL2 and portaudio dependencies included as shared libs, self-contained in a private directory location and launches via a simple ...

I have re-compiled VLC-3.0.17.4 in S15Pup RC5 Linking to the upgraded libraries, I think it is an improvement to the build configuration of the Pup. People should ditch the previous VLC if using RC5 onwards. This VLC build also has the newer libdvdnav in a private directory and launches via a ...

Doing the usual small modifications including the one mentioned above I can easily assemble a package which starts and runs fine in VanillaDpup 64bit, but the same package refuses to run in EasyOS. I seem to remember observing this in the past. If I run the (modified) start-tor-browser script in ...

The script start-tor-browser in the main directory has lines 85 - 88 inclusive:- if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then complain "The Tor Browser Bundle should not be run as root. Exiting." exit 1 fi If you comment those out, tor-browser should run as root I used to upload packages for Puppy with this and a ...

VLC Media Player version 3.0.17.4 in S15Pup Experimental builds from source code uploaded as .pet in case anyone wants to take a look. Treat them as "for testing" or in case they are useful to anyone for anything. EDIT:- packages taken down for now as they may need re-compiling due to library ...
