Makulu

#1 Post by SHEEPMAN! »

Kris (Cleve) sent me another care package.

Enclosed was a Makulu Cinnamon Debian 2.0. DVD

I loaded it live to RAM several hours ago and am somewhat impressed.

So far I have run some small windows exe files. Everything worked out of box except Gpsview. Ran WinFast Navigator, GPSinfo and a couple more.

Then I went to the old xinput-calibrate site freedesktop.org, clicked the .deb link then installed with a single click (I think) from the download directory using gdebi. Used xinput_calibrator > /usr/share/X11/xorgconf.d/99-calibration.conf. The other one (xinput_calibrator --output-type xorg.conf.d --output-filename /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf) gave me an error code of output-filename command not recognized.
Am I using an older copy of xinput-calibrator? the "man" file does not mention output-filename.

BTW this is on a CF-53 with 8 GB of ram. Half of the ram is tied up with cache and os.

720MB ram used. (idling along)
buffers 305MB
cached 2707 MB (the program in ram)
free 4248 MB +-
372 processes at the moment.

The point: their are other boot options if you don't have the ram.

It looks like I can save this session as is with "snapshot-live-cd" Looking forward to that. (Does USB too)

So I like the shark, cinnamon, wine out of the box, chrome out of the box and the way it runs with no updates. That's for when I install on a hdd. They have a "loaded" DVD. Can't wait.

Closing the lid and going to bed. We'll see if it is still live in the a.m.

Thanks Kris,

J

Finished downloading Makulu and will check it out tonight. Thanks Kris for the heads up and Jeff for the executive overview. :)

Life's Journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways totally worn-out shouting 'Woo Hoo! What a ride!

Motorsports - the only real sport. If it doesn't have a motor, it is just a game.

There is always something waiting at the end of the road, if you are not willing to see what it is, you probably shouldn't be out there in the first place.

xinput_calibrator --help returns version v0.7.5 on my system. I'd be curious what yours says.

v0.7.5

Mayhaps I am missing a dependency? I haven't done updates at all.

Last night I shut the lid...no effect so went to suspend from the [menu][quit]

Used almost 25 minutes of juice. :D

Your welcome......back to suspend until dark.
makulu@makulu:~$ xinput_calibrator --help
xinput_calibratior, v0.7.5

Usage: xinput_calibrator [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [--list] [--device <device name or id>] [--precalib <minx> <maxx> <miny> <maxy>] [--misclick <nr of pixels>] [--output-type <auto|xorg.conf.d|hal|xinput>] [--fake]
-h, --help: print this help message
-v, --verbose: print debug messages during the process
--list: list calibratable input devices and quit
--device <device name or id>: select a specific device to calibrate
--precalib: manually provide the current calibration setting (eg. the values in xorg.conf)

I don't know the numbers, but they look calibrated fine to me.

That's strange. At least you have --output-type and it would still be useful.

Code: Select all

xinput_calibrator --output-type xorg.conf.d > /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf

I know, I know. Expected this from you. :D

I did use sudo su a couple times too. :help:

Very happy with the way this program ran strictly from ram. My CF-31 w/ssd is the next victim.

Meanwhile I'm working on the Green Meanie. Fire Department Fast Attack what used to was my F-350. Last box is painted and will be installed today. 8)
