@bigpup Yes! That was the problem. I had not selected ubuntu-trusty-main. When I did, it appeared in the list of repositories in the main PPM window. And I found libgtk-3. Great. Somehow you knew that libgtk-3 was in ubuntu-trusty-main. I wonder how. Thanks for the help. --- PPM and repositories are...

I tried to change the title of this topic to add SOLVED. But I can't figure out how. Clicking on edit on the right side of the page allows editing of the subject, but not title, it seems.

@Fred Yes, it works! (I used the direct link to the 64-bit .deb for Firefox 60.4 ESR), Thanks so much! I guess someone should replace the existing Firefox 64.0 I initially downloaded using PPM with the ESR version. Or modify Firefox 64.0 to include a working apulse. ----- @OscarTalks If you come up ...

Yes, I did check the youtube volume sliders. They are/were at 100%.

Just now I tested a bitchute.com video. No sound from it either. (I checked its volume setting, too.)

@OscarTalks I tried apulse firefox from a terminal. Firefox started, but still with no audio for Youtube videos. I checked the Retrovol settings. They all seem correct. I installed firefox-launchpad-plugin_0.5 from PPM. That is where the Firefox with no audio came from. After install there was a sta...

@bigpup: Thanks. I understand better. Point 1) when I put "libgtk-3" into PPM's search field and search, I get: Sorry, no matching package name. That is what made me conclude that I did not understand how to search for libraries in PPM. Is libgtk-3 really not in any of the four repositorie...

@OscarTalks: Thanks for the reply. I tried to figure out what you mean by: you will need to start firefox with your /usr/bin/firefox as a script which calls apulse firefox but I can't. I tried to replace existing /usr/bin/firefox with a file of the same name containing that code. It did not work. I ...

Thanks for the reply. Here is the problem: to find a particular library, like libgtk-3, I know that put 'libgtk-3' in the search field and search for it. But it seems that I must choose each combination of repositories (I have 4 in my PPM) and Categories (I have 13 in my PPM, like Desktop, System, S...

I'm getting no sound from Youtube videos in Firefox 64.0 64-bit on Tahr Pup 6.0.6 x64. I tried to solve the problem by installing apulse-0.1.12-x86_64.pet from http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks/. Did not work. Then I created file user.js in ~/.mozilla/firefox/ with contents // for using apulse with lat...

To answer my original question, YES, there are gdb and valgrind for puppy linux 5.2.8. They are available in the Puppy Package Manager (PPM). But finding and installing them is still a matter of trial and error and guesswork. You also need to modify Puppy Linux as described in the previous post. (Th...

muggins (woops, I called you mullins above). Thanks very much. The version of wipefreespace you provided in the tar does not need the additional libreiser and libaal libraries which the sourceforge version needs when running on puppy 5.2.8. However, unfortunately wipefreespace did not work on a FAT3...

Hi musher0 and mullins, By the way, the reason I am trying to use puppy linux 5.2.8 even though it is rather old is that I have other programs installed on that version of puppy and doubt that I can get them installed on other versions of puppy. (see below for one reason I doubt that). @mullins: Tha...

@musher0 Thanks for the nice reply. Actually, I am trying to get wipefreespace (description here: http://wipefreespace.sourceforge.net/ ) running on Puppy Linux 5.2.8 with the help of the programmer who wrote it. It failed on FAT32 partitions when running from Puppy Linux 5.2.8. He asked me to use a...

Hi. Is there GDB or Valgrind or some other debugger that runs on puppy 5.2.8? Thanks.

Hi Mike Walsh. I don't know what to make of the diversion! Anyway thanks for the links to UExtract. I will use it. @matchpoint. Yes, it worked! It is amazing that you found the libraries. wipefreespace started. Unfortunately, when I tried to get it to wipe the free space on a partition, it quickly t...

Thanks for the help. I will try your suggestion and report the results.

Great.

I would like to get wipefreespace working on a linux that runs in RAM. If you know a way to configure Ubuntu to run only in RAM, that could work even if Lucid does not.

OK. I am tired now, too. And feeling like this is hopeless. Yes, tomorrow we will probably feel better. And I am willing to continue then, if you are.

Here is the link to the executable:

Ok. There was some delay. I renamed it, adding extension gz. Now the forum says the file is too big. I will try the data host website next.
