@npierce: I tested the "cedilla" command on firefox and office (525 pup this moment). Thx, I see now; but the command does not stick, just lasts for the session that opens in reaction. Anyhow, interesting to see that apps obey for the moment, openoffice as well (libreoffice in 5.2.5 puppy)...

Your charms seem to work in geany only, not here in my posting?

I experience(d) the same problem in various non-puppy distros and I happen to need USA-(alt)-int getting rid of the nuisance.

(sakura: not found)

An old Office pet I already mentioned, works in my racy 522 on Harddisk ..... but keeps crashing in 2 rather new and cleanly installed USB sticks. Apart from the seeming HD/usbStick difference, does somebody happen to know a newer Office that works in racy? I need Presentation for pps/ppt files. The...

Quoting myself: .... Puzzle: instead of the dead Libreoffice_sfs offered in "install/package manager" I found an old openoffice-3.2.0.9450.pet made by Coolpup which works fine .... in my harddisk installation. I am now installing another racy 5.2.2 to USB stick for an old (yes, older than ...

Guvcview from package manager cannot work, because of missing dependencies. This has been handled in the forum and I followed the there given direct links to get both guvcview_wary-1.5.0.pet and guvcview_wary_DEP-1.5.0.pet, together working fine now. === Puzzle: instead of the dead Libreoffice_sfs o...

Pidgin 2.7.5w5 works in racy 5.2.2 but the pidgin icon in tray bottom right in screen looks like a document with a red " X ". Tried an older version of Pidgin and the right icon popped in, but that pidgin did not work, could not be opened. Re-installed pidgin 2.7.5w5 without uninstalling ...

Openoffice SFS I found in packet manager does not work! Can I safely delete the relevant files? Edit : apparently it is the same sfs as mentioned by Raffy months ago .... why is it still offered in SFS section of package manager? ....... ADDITIONAL: Racy can't use the old OpenOffice sfs4 that Barry ...

Pidgin 2.7.5w5 works in racy 5.2.2 but the pidgin icon in tray bottom right in screen looks like a document with a red " X ". Tried an older version of Pidgin and the right icon popped in, but that pidgin did not work, could not be opened. Re-installed pidgin 2.7.5w5 without uninstalling t...

Not quite .... because no open-source distro comes with the non-free codecs. I traced and installed some 15 "restricted" packages, maybe partly double or useless, which now indeed make the traditional players reproduce some of the *.wmv, *.avi and *.mpeg .... opened by Chromium. My impress...

You may be right .... unlike in Firefox, I cannot check/manipulate "applications" in Chromium and importing from Firefox does not include preferences of the kind.

I do not know whether or not "the plugin" is on board, don't know how to check or what it looks like.

"Plugin" never found it on my computer (various distros) and neither for download on Net.

They know ....

Well, at least post the content of those two files then. Cannot, as I am not a technician and moreover, would not know how to follow up suggestions safely; if I damage something, cannot repair, by lack of insight. http://caleudum.com/play-vlc-and-chromium-browser-on-backtrack-5/ Just will have to w...

Have you tried editing /etc/mailcap? Actually, I now see a mention that chromium tries to use xdg-open to figure out how to open files. xdg-open is a shell script - have a look at it, too. Maybe such could work (sometimes) for a technician ... which I aint. Lots of nearcoming suggestions on the Web...

Right, in /usr/local/bin/defaultmediaplayer. Thereafter: Firefox, preferences, applications ... not ALL videos but just the ones that showed the option to select "default mediaplayer"; evidently, that option is not shown if VLC cannot handle that format. Maybe the Ubuntu Restricted Formats...

No idea where that "plugin" may be; already cound not find it some years ago. I have put VLC as default mediaplayer and amended accordingly in Firefox "applications" on the media types where it showed; yes, works there. See no settings in Chromium for mediaplayer(s) but it stubbo...

Cannot use that; it installs as "--temp-profile" and at opening only shows invitations to install all kind of Google stuff, including browser Chrome (not: Chromium). Edit1: I went through most of the confusing pages and got it kind of working now. Still, under button "select default b...

Chromium 18 seemingly installs well in my lupu 525 and is automatically promoted to "default browser" .... however, I cannot get it to work, it does not open up.

Repeated download & setup no use.

Any more/other results known?

Hardware luck, for as long as it may last: got 2x HD 80GB working again, except cannot boot independently so I leave the puppy CD in one of my 2 players. RAM 1GB is helped a lot by each HD having a 2GB swap as first partition. FF 3.6.13 still behaving fairly well, few crashes, recovering rather easi...

Thank you for trying, Rolf, but unluckily, I cannot relate your explanation to my experiences (neither can I explain in technical terms what I stumble upon). Stays: in case of troubles related to an SFS, I better wipe out and re-install Puppy than trying to intervene. I lack the technical insight. L...
