Packages to add to Granular (Grl)

If you plan a DVD addition of your software I'd like to suggest some software packages that I've found other places that have been developed.

(1) Lazarus (pascal compiler)
(2) Sky Charts (Cartes Du Ciel)  Planetaruim program much more detailed than 'Kstars'
(3) LightZone. . . The 'free' Linux version with no bars added graphics package that can compliment 'Gimp'
(4) Hugin . ..Panorama maker for digital photographers. . . 7.0 beta 4 out now. . .being further developed for release this summer as a completed package for Linux.


That's it for now. . .

I'm running these packages now with your software. . . It is indeed very nice. ( I had PClinuxOS) on one of my machines and I'm continually toying with Linux Distro's. Your knockoff of PCLinuxOS  has indeed better graphics installed. Also I notice that the Partitioning of the Hard Drives during install didn't require a reboot like PCLinuxOS before it started it's partition work. Yours started from the getgo. . . Very good.

Well, yes, a DVD version of Granular is in planning. We'll see if we could make grls for the apps you have requested.

(3) LightZone. . . The 'free' Linux version with no bars added graphics package that can compliment 'Gimp'

Hello Richard,

Yes, I would like to second that.

Lightzone is a very useful bit of software, and all the more remarkable in that the Linux version is being offered "Free" while the otherwise "commercial" versions (Windows and Mac) which are identical; cost a quite a few dollars.

LightZone added on demand.    http://www.granularproject.org/packages/2007/07/10/lightzone-24/

And how is the installation from Lightzone ?  I can't install with install grl !

Can you elaborate your problem a bit more. What kind of errors are you faced with while installing LightZone?

After installation I read the Message '' Succesfull installed, You can see the Lightzone-Icon im Menu-Other ''.

 But I don't see any Icon im Menu-Other and I can't find it in all Granular-Folders.

Chin

For the icon to appear in the Menu, it is sometimes required to log out and log back in of KDE after the installation is complete, as you would do in case of RPMs. Also, it is strictly required to install the GRL packages through root account. Installing then in a regular user account may lead in a  corrupt installation.

If you have installed it in any account other than root, then remove it with the granular -r command and then re-install it while logged into root.

I make it, what You say to me, but I can't install it.

Pls. install it yourself to see the problem.

I've installed/tested it a several times on my PC and another computer. The installation went as a breeze. Try one more time with the method described above (in my last post).

Which command I need in Console as Root the Package lightzone-2.4.grl to the installation ?

chin

The command is:

Code: [Select]

sudo granular
I prefer that you install it through the GUI way. Here are the instructions: http://www.granularproject.org/packages/installation-instructions/

Thanks Anurag,
I have the Package lightzone as Root installed. After Installation PC must be rebooted.

Is Lightzone finally working for you? Do you see its entry in Menu > Other?

I see it in menu>Other and it working very well. Thanks.
