GnuCash crash on Slacko 5.3.3

Hello all. Running a frugal Slacko 5.3.3 here. I used PPM to install Gnucash 2.4.3 from the repos. A ton of dependencies were downloaded and installed and the installation passes all dependency checks. When I click to run it, nothing appears to happen. If I run it from a terminal I get this interest...

I think that would be a "gno go".

Perhaps some intrepid Android developer will create an app that simply restores / replaces / emulates the USB mass-storage function that was removed from Android. :?

Mp3 player MTP support in Puppy: go-mtpfs?

Running Slacko 5.3.3 here and am still unsuccessful at getting my Galaxy S III to talk to Puppy. I'd much prefer the USB mass storage mode which I assumed the Galaxy would support but it doesn't. I'm apparently stuck with using MTP. I've tried Gnomad2 without success. I recently read about a package...

Sure. I used Webalizer for years in command line mode to analyze logs downloaded from various servers. The html and graphics are generated in a local folder and can be perused with a browser.

Would someone please make a .pet of Webalizer?

Has anyone built a .pet for Webalizer?

nooby: I see the download is for Lucid 5.2.8. Will that work on Slacko 5.3.3 ?

Could you try out the Iron pet or Iron sfs and see if that one work same? I use that one and it works well. There is a new thread about it on the forum. use the google search in my signature? or this one? http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=81545 I'll try it this afternoon, after lunch...

21 from Slacko's pacman or where? When you installed- was it fresh or on top? Installed this Puppy, Slacko 5.3.3, in August and Chromium 19 has always exhibited the flickering title bar problem, but it works fine other than that. Yesterday I downloaded this pet from a link on the forum: http://didd...

Captnemo- have you been through a video upgrade since installing? Yes, I believe so. I have an Aspire One and had some video problems which were discussed and fixed in this thread: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=80846 So I think all is okay in the video department. Only Chrome exh...

(Be nice to have shortcut keys for menu items :) ) Yes indeed! Funny you should mention that because that's a major thing for me. The main reason I've not implemented any "accelerators" or shortcuts is I'm still thinking about exactly how I want to do it. I want to get close to how InfoSe...

Chrome and Chromium, weird behaviors

Chromium 19, on Slacko 5.3.3 exhibits the annoying problem of the title bar flickering and flashing while a page is loading. When loading stops, the flickering stops. No other app does this. So today I installed Chrome 21, hoping it's fixed and it's not. Chrome 21 flickers the same. Even worse, Chro...

Solved the markdown format problem. There is now a repo on Github that contains a readme file and the C source code for the NoteSelect gizmo. Not sure exactly how to refer to it. I suppose it's https://github.com/shuttersparks/NoteSelect (?) I must say that Github is one of the most opaque and unfri...

Okay, I've opened an account on github and created a repository for it. Next I need to create a readme file and I ran info YADM (yet another damned format). :shock: Puppy doesn't seem to have a markdown editor. Is there a format converter or quick way to generate an md file from text or whatever? I'...

Yes, I plan to put it out there for people to play with if there's any interest. It might be useful to somebody. It's still pretty crude, although I'm using it every day for my work now. I'm still making fixes and improvements every day and one important function is missing. I've never published any...

Is it something that could replace puppy's Notecase (which is no longer supported upstream)? I sent a couple of PMs with the code attached (it's all in one file) and some comments on how it's supposed to work. I figure it's easier to show than tell. The app is unpolished but I'm using it for my wor...

Technosaurus: I wanted to thank you again for the info. All is working great. I knocked together an application I've been threatening to write for about 15 years. haha.

Thanks for the tips. I'll investigate your suggestions. I've been using makefiles for 30 years so it's an old habit. I always use make, even for a single source file. And yes, I did see the lib error message, but I figured first things first. Not finding the gtk includes prevents compilation. Sort t...

pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 Good suggestion but the makefile already contains that. Here's the contents of my makefile that worked under my old Ubuntu setup and that I'm using now: CC = gcc CFLAGS = -Wall -lao `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 libgnome-2.0 gmodule-2.0` LDFLAGS = -lao `pkg-config --lib...
