Okay, the Linux Firewall Installer script included in Puppy is, by far, the best, simplest, most powerful and most intuitive Firewall wizard I've ever seen in my days using Linux. I want to put it on ALL my boxes (including the Raspberry Pi.) What would it take to get that amazing piece of software ...

I reboot into Windows every time I want to play Call of Duty or Minecraft. Other than that, I'm running Puppy 80% of the time and Ubuntu 20% of the time. (Yes, I know Minecraft supposedly works on Linux, but I have a Radeon HD 4350, and I haven't gotten it working on any Linux distro... I can't unpa...

Code: Select all

That worked!

Okay, I have a triple-boot going: Win XP Pro on /dev/sda1 Ubuntu 12.04 on /dev/sda7 (I know this sound weird): Puppy Slacko 5.5 FRUGAL on a dedicated EXT4 partition - /dev/sda7 vmlinuz and initrd.gz are both stored on / in sda7 (not a subfolder.) What do I need to set the Puppy menu entry to for Gru...

Yes, it's not appearing at all in chrome://plugins.

I've installed the Java JRE from Java.com; it's now residing in /usr/java/jre1.7.0_17, but what I can't figure out is how to get the browser plugin working. I've already got ~/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so symlinked to /usr/java/jre1.7.0_17/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so, but restartin...

Thanks for those!

Unfortunately, now it says libmspack is missing, and I can't seem to fid anything in PPM...

Okay, here it is, Bitcoin-QT, packaged into a nice, neat Dotpet for your convenience.

I'll probably add a description later, but, for now, you can just read up on it from the Bitcoin wiki page on it: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin-Qt

Download version 0.8.1

I'm running Slacko 5.5, and the debian package also returns "No module named wxversion".

I couldn't manage to find the python-wxgtk package in Launchpad. The site isn't organized very intuitively... If you could give me links to what I need to download, that would be very appreciated.

Okay, starting with python-2.7.3 installed, and torchat-source-0.9.9.553.zip extracted to /opt/torchat, here's what I get: # cd /opt/torchat/src # ./torchat.py (0) [config,477,main] python version 2.7.3 (default, Jul 3 2012, 21:16:07) [GCC 4.7.1] (0) [config,484,main] script directory is /opt/torcha...

Where can I find WXPython? Your rapidshare link says File Not Found, PPM can't find anything, and the official site just says "for Linux, check your particular distro's repositories."

Awww... out of date

This is version 0.9.3, latest is 0.9.4. (if you REALLY wanted to go above and beyond, you could package up the 0.9.5 release candidate )

hi James a) pup and version, please.. (wm too) b) (see /etc/xdg/menus/*.menu files) sometimes the inline limit gets fouled - usually (if true) it works to set a limit on number of entries in a subcat, if limit is exceeded then the subcat is branched (otherwise it's inline or should be) c) another p...

Okay, I don't know what I did, but for some reason, the menus no longer have a 2-level hierarchy. For example, GParted used to be located at Menu>System>SomethingOrOther>Gparted, but now it's just Menu>System>GParted. This makes the menus very cluttered, and I can't find out how to reverse this beha...

Okay, I can't figure out what to do: Wi-Fi adapter, wlan0 Connecting to wireless router with WPA2 encryption Using the carl9170usb driver Static (custom) local IP Custom DNS settings What do I need to type? The stupid carl9170 driver is really crashy, and I hate having to make 40 clicks every 5 min...

sorry to say that this chromium pet does not work with saluki. and as saluki is built or wary/racy it will not work on wary and racy as well. wary and racy builds dont have the needed dependancies built into the bass even though i added the mozilla-libs.pet from the ppm in saluki I got this error. ...

Well, as March 12th, I've reached 256 downloads for the Dotpet version! (that doesn't even include the SFS downloads!)

Also, version 27 appears to be more popular than the original v26 release, about 33% more for the Dotpet, and 400% more for the SFS.

Doesn't work in Wary 5.3 ... (Nor does Chrome or Iron.) :( Requires gconf and libgcrypt ... easy installs. Then: /opt/chromium/chrome: /lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /opt/chromium/chrome) /opt/chromium/chrome: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version 'GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found ...

The errors don't matter (imo.) Chromium was never meant to run as Root (most software isn't,) and in fact, I actually had to specify the user data storage directory, because it just does not want to run as root.

Something interesting: I recently made a Full install to my hard drive, and it remembers my authorization on every boot!
