Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Just wanted to link to the discussion on the Murga forum for ArchPup 32!

Closed

Continuing to test this in the Fujitsu S761. Now using Slimjet 28.0.1.0, based on Chromium 85.0.4183.69. Some awsnaps as usual (now) with chromium but reloading the page generally works. Peebees chromium_86.0.4240.111_pepper_32.0.0.445_lx_spot.sfs is also running well in this archpup with added certs and the added libnssckbi.so.

I ran into an issue with gnumeric. It wouldn't open a spreadsheet just updated and checked in LxPupSc. gnumeric runs but the spreadsheet as opened is sparsely populated and pretty badly mangled. I'll attach the run-from-terminal files for a good run in LxPupSc and the failed run in ArchPup32. Both false gzs. Back in lxpupsc for now, haven't chased it at all.

Cheers,

Update: Did a remaster (first in a long time, all tools worked well). Pulled gnumeric and abiword from the build and added pcmanfm and my associated work and symlinks to the main SFS. LibreOffice-5.3.7_en-US_xz loads from SFS and does what is needed for my simple spreadsheets and documents. Now, about those AwSnaps gurgle

Is there a way to install packages from the AUR?

Is there a way to install packages from the AUR?

I don't know of a way I'm afraid ......... somebody else may be able to offer suggestions?

I use the AUR package build recipes as a guide of the required dependencies and compile the package then manually.

I have created 3 half-Chinese language pets each for arch64 20.05.02 and arch32 20.05.02:
fcitx Chinese input platform:
arch64 20.05.02：fcitx64_4.2.7-en-zh-raring-14.0.6.pet (14 mb)
arch32 20.05.02:　fcitx_4.2.７-en-zh-raring-14.3.6.pet (16 mb)

(ibus cannot run in arch64 20.05.02 and arch32 20.05.02)

scim Chinese input platform:
arch64 20.05.02：scim64_1.4.14-en-zh-raring-14.0.6.pet (13 mb)
arch32 20.05.02:　scim_1.4.14-en-zh-raring-14.3.6.pet (14 mb)

yong Chinese input platform:
arch64 20.05.02：yong3264_20201122-en-zh-raring-14.0.6.pet (9 mb)
arch32 20.05.02:　yong3264_20201122-en-zh-raring-14.3.6.pet (9 mb)

Plus 2 Chinese language pets each for arch64 20.05.02 and arch32 20.05.02:
Simplified Chinese:
arch64 20.05.02：arch64-20.05.02-zhcn-14.0.6.pet (2 mb)
arch32 20.05.02：arch32-20.05.02-zhcn-14.3.6.pet (2 mb)

Traditional Chinese:
arch64 20.05.02：arch64-20.05.02-zhhk-14.0.6.pet (2 mb)
arch32 20.05.02：arch32-20.05.02-zhhk-14.3.6.pet (1 mb)

To use:
(a) any 1 of the 4 half-Chinese language pets will enable you to display and input Chinese in arch64 20.05.02 (use 14.0.6.pet) and arch32 20.05.02 (use 14.3.6.pet)

(b) the name corresponding Chinese language pets will give you Simplified Chinese (use zhcn pet) or Traditional Chinese (use zhhk pet) menus, icon labels, tooltips for arch64 20.05.02 and arch32 20.05.02. For the Chinese pets to work normally, you must install a suitable half-Chinese pet prior to install the Chinese pet.

Hi peebee, just tried the Arch32Pup-20.05+3, it will not >save< the puppy theme properly after I change it to "original pup" using the Puppy Theme Manager.
Also it did not save the changed background wallpaper (I had changed it to black) The changed theme gave me a broken desktop upon reboot.

The original Arch32Pup-20.05 saves the theme and background properly.

Just tried a couple more themes.
"431" did same as "original pup"
"xfwm touch" seems to save ok
Background wallpaper changes never saves on any of them.

Hi @perdido.
You are right - I also see this.
Afraid I'm not sure what's different about the ArchPup builds to cause this - my other UPup builds seem to be OK.
Also applies to the Arch64Pup build.....
If anyone can work out what the problem is that would be appreciated.

Hi peebee,
I ran ptheme from terminal in both Arch32Pup-20.05+0 and Arch32Pup-20.05+3.
Changed the theme to "original pup" and exited the program in both versions.
The +3 threw some errors during the run that the +0 did not have. May be a hint somewhere in the output?
Terminal output follows for each run, +0 is first.

+0 Terminal Output for ptheme changing theme to "original pup" and then exiting the program.
This one saves the changed theme to save folder and shows new theme on reboot.

Hi peebee,
In the Arch32Pup-20.05+3, the first run settings are not setting the locale in /usr/lib/locale/

I copied my /usr/lib/locale/ files from Arch32Pup-20.05+0 to the /usr/lib/locale/ Arch32Pup-20.05+3 save folder, now Arch32Pup-20.05+3 is saving theme changes and background wallpaper changes.
Discovered the "what" LOL, have no clue as to the "why".

-

I don't understand why, but......

the utilities locale and localedef (from glibc package) have stopped working:
/etc/rc.d/rc.country: line 63: /usr/bin/localedef: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/chooselocale: line 447: /usr/bin/localedef: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/chooselocale: line 1181: /usr/bin/locale: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/chooselocale: line 1201: /usr/bin/localedef: No such file or directory

but give unhelpful error messages.

Replacing them with the Slackware versions works: ydrv:

Good one, peebee!
The "why" drv fixes the issue on the 32-bit Archpup +3

Still running your 32-bit bionic 19.03 as my daily driver, much appreciate your work.
It has run so well I have not had to look at alternatives but the Archpup-32 looks interesting
Thanks!

One of the russian Arch-versions of Puppy uses pamac+pacman. Can it be used in ArchPup too? Or is the PPM nailed down hard?

Hi peebee,

I'm a little bit late but post this anyway

Arch32Pup-20.05+3: I did my usual frugal install - sdb1 (FAT32) booted via grub4dos, sdb2 (ext4) for savefolders
--> does not offer savefolder in save-dialog, only savefile possible (2fs, 3fs, 4fs). One has to use savemark/savespec to make it ...

Arch32Pup-20.05+0 was ok in this respect (savefolder offered/created/found on reboot).

Your latest Arch32Pup-20.05+4 solved this "problem".

PS: I noticed in PupSysInfo: Boot Partition (sdb1) shows wrong size, it's actual the size of sdb2, where my savefolders are sitting ...

PPS: does not auto-connect to eth0, have to use SNS - no big thing

peace

Use this Pup daily and it is very nice to use. Glad Xine issue seems to be fixed.

viewtopic.php?p=626#p626

I'm thinking of installing this to a USB drive, but I'm not sure due to some issues I know. For example, my old ThinkPad has an internal Broadcom WiFI card and we all know the issue with that on Linux in general.

I also notice that ArchPup might lack access to the AUR. I might add the AUR to the PPM myself, but I kinda need a guide on that front, since I'm a novice and stuff.

Otherwise, I think ArchPup is a great idea and I hope it gets more attention. Because I always wanted to try an Arch-based distro myself.

Best regards,

Hi!

On a Acer Spin1- ArchPup64:

- psynclient dont work (It does not work on any Puppy in my case...flsynclient works)
- Although I charged the ensemble of Atheros modules, I have not been able to get wifi

Donc voila!

@BologneChe - need to know which adaptor you have. If it is onboard, please run (in a terminal):
lspci -nn | grep etwork (note: first letter is lower case L)

If it is usb, please run (in a terminal): lsusb

Then run (in a terminal): dmesg | grep irmware

Then please post outputs here.

@BologneChe - OK - firmware is a possibility. Did you run dmesg | grep irmware? Will tell if missing firmware.
I believe Archpup64 is missing firmware you need - is in .pet below.
