Just installed Slacko 5.7 and then informed by Firefox that it is quite out of date. Is there any tutorial on the correct way to upgrade firefox. Cannot be done from the package manager.

Installed Pulseaudio from the package manager including all dependencies. then received error messages that libpulsecore-8.0.so and libprotocol-native.so are missing from a number of module x11 files: File /usr/lib/pulse-8.0/modules/module-x11-cork-request.so has these missing library files: File /u...

Sure you are selecting the correct drive? Make sure sda is the USB flash drive. Usually sda is an internal hard drive. "Your sda has a iso9660 filesystem. That indicates sda is the CD drive. That is the CD filesystem. When you plug in the USB Stick. What is it identified as by the desktop driv...

Thanks for your suggestion. Before I read your reply I found another to do it.
Menu>Setup>UEFIinstaller
Don't no why this is separate from the other installer but it work flawlessly.

I have zenialpup647.5 ufei running from a CD. I choose universal and then USB. I have a blank 4 gig USB flash drive formatted FAT32. The install process fails with the following error message "Your sda has a iso9660 filesystem. Currently only install to external vfat (FAT16/32) or ext2/ext3 fil...

It worked after the reboot....Thanks again for your suggestions.

Feeling foolish, the symlink wasn't to an executable. I since corrected that error but it still doesn work. My link creation: ln -s /usr/bin/xsane ~/desktop/xsane
I then copied the symlink to the autostart directory ~/Startup/autostart/xsane

@jrb: I created a sym link but apparently not in the manner that is needed to startup to use it. My Symlink: ln -s ~/.packages/builtin_files/xsane ~/Desktop/xsane The symlink was place in ~/.config/autostart Upon reboot it was not running. I noticed most of the entries ~/.config/autostart had a .des...

Thanks, I will give it a shot and report back, again I appreciate the help.

Using root/Autostart sounds good but it looks like I may need to do a lot of reading to use it correctly. I found a readme file and it had the following link: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html There a lot in this that is new to me so I guess it's off to...

A terminal application created for the Brother Scanner "brscan skey". It locates the USB connected scanner and makes the connection between the scanner and the PC. Until it is run xsane scanning cannot work. I also want to have xsane running as part of boot. I tried using crontab by enteri...

I am new to pschedule, after looking at it I don't see how to schedule a one time task at boot. Do I choose the "ANY" option from every column?

Finally got it to work. googling through multiple sites I found that there should have been a file called image-menu.xml I checked other computers I had and found the file existed in my Linux Mint 18.3. I copied that file over and gimp now works.

/etc/gimp is empty of files and directories
controllerrc does exist, it is in /root/.gimp-2.8/

There are a lot of messages in the terminal, maybe gimp didn't install properly: (gimp:19503): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: Tried to register an extension of the type (null) to extension point gio-tls-backend. Expected type is GTlsBackend. (gimp:19503): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Two different plugins tried t...

Installing the libgimp2.o files as suggested almost works, I get a popup message when it is executed. The screen shot shows the issue, I don't know enough about puppy to take action based on the message..

@perdido, thank you, the missing file is in the list from your link.

Hardware: Acer Aspire one OS: Xenialpup64 7.5 The OS is installed on an SSD w/o any other software over 100gig free RAM: 2 gig Installed gimp through the ppm: It appeared successful however there was a notation about two files not present but that they were expected to be installed during the boot p...

I am giving up on installing puppy to my hard drive (full Install) however, I would like to do a frugal install but using the menu item for installing puppy I don't see any item for doing a frugal install. Maybe I just don't get it, does a frugal install depend on always having a USB flash drive att...

Thanks for the suggestion, tried it without success.
I frankly don't understand the issue as I have successfully installed other puppy versions.
