Bonjour, Am I the only one who hasn't been able to update the flash player for some time? :roll: Cordialement. You're not alone. Fortunately, Flash isn't important to me anymore. I would like to be able to delete all the flash update files, but some persist anyway. Several minutes after starting FF...

Thanks. I'll see about that one.

Thanks, I didn't notice that before. I had been using it on firefox with a slacko version years ago. Guess they made some changes.

The Ant video downloader came in my upgrade of Firefox to the 60.4.0esr in the Salixesr from the package manager in Slacko 6.3.0 32bit. It requires the native app which I downloaded, but I don't know how to install it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, bigpup.

Good deal, Mike. I'll save that post for reference. thanks.

Good to know. I started using Puppy when my computers had typically about 512 megs of RAM. Full install is what I have always done. I never knew the advantages of a frugal install because I have never used on except on old laptops with WinXP. Thanks.

Yes, the 6.1.3 is the version I downloaded. Installing the SFS onto a full install is the problem. I might just reinstall Slacko as a frugal. Thanks, everybody.

@EdD open and edit following file /usr/share/applications/defaults.list and replace application/pdf=epdfview.desktop by application/pdf=evince.desktop Thanks, norgo. That did add evince to the list of options for opening but I have no window appearing now when I click to open the pdf. I can save it...

Thanks, everybody. None of this is working. I don't know enough to do even this simple kind of thing. Nevermind.

Thanks, but qpdfview doesn't show up in a search under all files. It might not be in my version of slacko.

I downloaded Libreoffice last night, and had to just let it run in the background because it's a large transfer. Now, I don't know where it is, it doesn't appear to be in downloads, and I don't know if it's in the form of a pet or what. My o/s is a full install of slacko 6.3.0 32 bit version. I'm us...

When trying to open pdf files in an email (Thunderbird)the window pops up to choose how to open, with a browse button. How do I select how to open the pdf file to view? I apologize for the bother, but I was in an accident and had a slight head injury, so most of my knowledge of how to use my slacko ...

Thanks, Mike. I think I added it correctly at that location.

thanks to both respondents.

As a user report, on a HD installation to a Lenovo vista machine, after a few uses, shut down now reboots instead of powering off. No significant changes were made, only a customization of FF, installation of xine and thunderbird, and the attendant changes to default email and media player in setup.

Yep. On the first hard drive install on a Lenovo desktop, there was no such problem. Just trying to save a file on the CD was the only trouble. The usb stick works well on other machines that will boot from usb. I like this version.

I'm glad to have found this for my older PC and laptop, both IBM/Lenovo, and a later Dell laptop, all of which liked the original Slacko 5.7 . The PC had Slacko 5.7 32 and ran well, but the FF didn't work well on current sites. I intend HD installs of this latest Slacko to see if those machines can ...

Thanks, Mike. I've been around here for awhile, and had learned a few things, but I was in a car crash and got a head injury,and also lost much use of my left arm and leg. I don't remember some things and have trouble with the keyboard as well, so clicking is easier for me. I'm kind of stuck using p...

Thanks, Dogg. I would never have thought to use the plus sign in the search,. It wasn't coming up even after I updated the repositories. Searched "gtk+3" and there it was in the slackware repos.
