Thanks. I got this working in Tahr 6.0.5 64-bit, with the help of the instructions of OscarTalks at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 684#972684 for his 32-bit version of Vivaldi 1.12

Well, I eventually managed to install the 64-bit version of Vivaldi 1.12 made by Terry H (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=1458126869&t=111963), which worked after following the same instructions of Oscartalks for his 32-bit version and modifying the script so it didn't a...

Hi - that link for vivaldi doesn't seem to work properly... gives me an xml file with "SQLite3Result::fetchArray(): Unable to execute statement: database disk image is malformed". Tried also the augras.eu root directory and don't find vivaldi listed among the telechargements / downloads.

Hi Mike,

Decided to install that chrome package from your link after encountering a service that would only accept Chrome or Firefox (a closed beta for the new Flattr)
The exec worked only after installing libgtk-3 (from PPM).
After doing so it works fine.
Thanks again.

thanks Mike - I haven't needed to come back to the forums lately, so didn't notice your kind reply. I eventually opted for your Iron browser build, and it works very well, thanks. Just to report though, I had trouble with the installation of SlimJet. It gave me some error message - can't remember wh...

Thanks again for all the bits of advice. Installed Puppy again and put everything back, then made a backup of the save folder using rcrsn51's nice new tool (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=110090) So now I'll go hunting for a chromium-based browser and pepper flash, for the occasion...

So far, no luck. Changed the permissions in all the places that various people have recommended. Tried installing an old midori-cups file which somebody else said fixed it. Uninstalled Chrome, but only through PPM. Reinstalled CUPS, so I will have to reinstall my printer. Probably a complete reinsta...

thanks mostly_lurking. Well a couple of those files did have different permissions, but changing them hasn't solved the problem.

That thread on printers is really long though, I'm slowly poring through it.

thanks both to Musher0 and to Mike. Musher0 : I already have been using Vivaldi part-time, but without a flash solution. Thanks for your suggestion. Mike: I will try out your packages; it's great that you are making them. However, before any of that, I'd like to find a way of repairing my installati...

installation of chrome browser corrupts tahrpup 64

I've had this twice now. After installing Chrome browser via quickpet, it becomes impossible to use CUPS. It gives Internal Server Error. What's worse is that uninstalling Chrome does not reverse the situation. So be warned! The first time this happened, I was not sure what program had corrupted tah...

system dialog icons

In system dialogues, for such cases as attaching a document to an email message from the browser, there is no differentiation between folder and file icons on my system. I'm not sure if this is a gtk or an x property - I suppose it's x, because there's a red x icon in the corner of a dialogue frame....

after transition to lxpup - command to save session?

now that lxde has removed native puppylinux desktop icons, I need to know the command that saves a session, without doing a system shutdown. I've turned off the automatic save (by changing the pupstate), because the autosave is particularly long on my system, and interferes with my work.

Thanks.

thanks everyone - it came right now. I had the command to start the desktop wrong (xwin startlxde). It was enough to log out, log in via this command, then close while saving. Previously, because I had the initialization command wrong, I was logging in just to openbox, then adding the panel via the ...

lxpanel

thanks Semme - since I've already done quite a lot of customization, and am using puppy as my main OS, it would be better for me to find a solution without doing a re-install. thanks musher0 - regarding the pet + sfs, what I see on page 1 of this topic is: 1. Boot a pristine frugal install of the ba...

lxpanel

Hi On tahr using quickpet I installed lxde by first using the pet and then afterwards installing the sfs: I now know I did that backwards. I had the problem that someone else described of obtaining a double panel (jwm + lxpanel), so I uninstalled jwm. At first I didn't know how to start lxde, but th...
