Makulu

[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

Makulu...
Makes me look around for ladies in grass skirts...

You two make me laugh....I needed that. Cinnamon Debian is the spice of life.

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

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

[mklym]

My version of xinput_calibrator returns v0.7.5 as well.

[SHEEPMAN!]

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.

Your welcome......back to suspend until dark.

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

v0.7.5

Code: Select all

makulu@makulu:~$ sudo xinput_calibrator > /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf

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.

I did use sudo su a couple times too.

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.
