welcome1stboot for 96dpi

When Puppy moved from a default screen DPI (Dots Per Inch) of 78 to 96, many applications had to be adjusted so that their text did not display to large.

This problem also applies to the welcome1stboot application, the "Welcome, woof, woof" window that you get at first bootup.

I have now recompiled it for 96dpi, for x86 and ARM.

Woof bug !Important
Username: 01micko
Hi Barry There are bugs with 3builddistro (I didn't update latest woof yet but I see no commits for 3builddistro in timeline) to do with DEVTMPFSFLG. It's just basic stuff like rootfscomplete/root/.packages/woof-installed-packages isn't there so greap errors out. Here is my proposed alteration, note that the variables are quoted or they error too. [code]DEVTMPFSFLG=0 [ ! -f rootfs-complete/root/.packages/woof-installed-packages ] && cp -af ../woof-installed-packages rootfs-complete/root/.packages/ if [ "`grep 'CONFIG_DEVTMPFS.*=y' rootfs-complete/etc/modules/DOTconfig*`" != "" ];then UDEV3=`grep -E '^udev[_-][0-9]' rootfs-complete/root/.packages/woof-installed-packages | cut -f 3 -d '|' | cut -c 1-3` [ ! "$UDEV3" ] && UDEV3=200 #eudev if [ "$UDEV3" -ge 176 ];then #175 is last version that creates device nodes. #modify 'init' script in initrd... sed -i -e 's%^DEVTMPFSFLG=.*%DEVTMPFSFLG=2%' initrd-tree/init DEVTMPFSFLG=2 #see further down. fi fi [/code] That seems to work as expected. Thanks! PS: I built k3.4.52 patched for f2fs, had to hack the patches but I am submitting them to the developer. He wasn't going to support 3.4xx but maybe he will now, since it is LTS. Posting from it now, enabled DEVTMPFS and DEVTMPFS_MOUNT, with my hack to 3builddistro and using udev-167 all seems happy.

"Couple of things, pup_event related. When you make new filesystems in a usb with gparted the desktop drive icons do not refresh. This is a recent introduction. Also, not so recent, if you insert a blank CD/DVD into the drive there is no icon displayed for it on the desktop. That one appeared about the time you started supporting UDF, so has been there since about the beginning of this year. As far as I know, these bugs affect all recent woofed pups.

osmo 96dpi patch

"Osmo looks HUGE! It's easy to patch. I'll offer this one, it could be tweaked even more. I've set the screen_x at 600px and reduced all deefault fonts by 1 to 2 px Also fixed the version number (was showing 0.2.8, is 0.2.10) Dang it's too big for post, gzipped [url=http://01micko.com/patches/osmo-96dpi-version.patch.gz]here[/url].

"I haven't done a Fossil "push" for awhile. Did it now. I don't recall whether the DEVTMPFSFLG fix was in the previous push or not.
