i unsuccessfully tried to install mantis bugtracker on lupu 5.0.0 . mantis is in the universe repository and also in the packages file in lupu. i tried adding universe via ppm and restartet ppm, but universe was disabled again and the search doesnt find mantis... Did you edit the Distro Repo file A...

Well it looks that libffi 5 is missing, right?
Search for the right name (using apt-cache,aptitude or synaptic) and install it.

Checked out the pre alpha with virtual box right now. I really like what I see

Didn't find a way to change to UTF-8 though (UTF-8 is the only way to go for me, as my files need to be compatible with different locations). Is there some GUI for that?

I'm sure 4.4 will be a great puppy!

Thanks flugwelpe will give it a shot. Incidentally, there seems to be some other bug at work as well - the sfs linker seems to have randomly linked all kinds of files to the /mnt/apt_synaptic-dpup.sfs directory, including /usr/bin/X, /usr/bin/python etc. Yeah, the sfs is not cleaned up at all. Ther...

Hi shankargopal, first thanks for your bug report ;) That copy command had wrong quotes so it wouldn't copy the right files to initialise the repository. I edited the script in my previous post to fix it (but didn't try it with a fresh install). You could also just remove the quotes in /usr/sbin/apt...

Ok, i figured a way to use apt/synaptic via an sfs file and having an out-of-savefile repository for apt. It works using the SFS-linker pet http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=352837 . I wrote a script which does necessary conversion * First you have to extract the apt_synaptic-dpup.pet...

Great, thanks a lot, gposil. In the meantime as a kludge I was considering something rather inelegant. Since the main advantages of apt over PPM that I can see are 1) better dependency resolution and 2) easy access to new repositories, I can keep an empty dpupsave into which I would, when necessary...

this is veery annoying. i can't drop out of the windows manager, too.
what works for me is btw. thats on a xvesa, jwm, dpup 482 beta 5. Also i've seen that behaviour before...

Seems aqualung is also missing a dependency, liblrdf, which is not there, but apt claims it is. On fresh dpup with patch: after apt-get install aqualung # aqualung aqualung: error while loading shared libraries: liblrdf.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory As the library f...

hm, regarding the unmounting problem - shouldnt it be possible to switchroot to a minimal system and then the original root doesn't matter?

firstrun frugal experience: * numlock is deactivated * setting firstrun use wbar * apply settings -> immediate(!) x server restart; that was a little unexpected and killed my running firefox * ok, icons are gone from desktop, but wbar doesnt show up * doing a reboot, writing to savefile * icons are...

hm, just tried to set up dpup 482 on a fujitsu-siemens lifebook p-1510D.
touchscreen working (x driver from conan), no good rotate (input is not rotating) yet and buttons not working, as fjbtndrv wants hal for compilation.

I suppose that hal won't work on puppy linux, or?

oh, my, looks like the beta5 upload died. the ftp client temporary file disappeared...

Don't know how that happened exactly. Somehow I managed to delete my home-dir on one of my machines. So setup of desaster: two machines with puppy 4.2.1 the Files-Sharing/Setup-Sharing wizard pure-FTPd What I did: I tried to get some files from machine A to B. Started pure-FTPd on machine A. (no ano...

hi joaorafaeldp,

Which skype package (from where) did you install skype?
Are you using skype 2, because skype 1 didn't support webcams.

greez,

Maybe try a different puppymix Have you thought of trying Big_Bass's Slaxer_Pup? http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=41298 maybe the slackware kernel hardware recognition is better? ....or the nopcmcia option works? Aitch :) same problem on the slackware kernel from Slaxer_Pup (nopcmci...

ok, first the success note: i can start woof upup 476 via wakepup from a USB and I like it so far :) Still need acpi=force boot option for that to work. I got a sfs-not-found issue though... Live-cd doesnt work. I tried alpha 6 to 9 and all of them dropped out of the booting process when trying to f...
