Problem updating Palemoon
Problem updating Palemoon
I'm using Tharpup 6.0.5. Pale Moon is the default web browser. Using the Pale Moon updater, I have updated Pale Moon a number of times. But now, when I try to update, I get an error message. Any suggestions? Thanks...
With Palemoon 28 they stopped using the updater and now have update built into the browser.
Here is a pet for Xenialpup 7.5.
Not sure but it should work in Tahrpup.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... 0-i686.pet
This will give you Palemoon 28.0.0
If this works OK.
Updates are done in Palemoon>Help>About Palemoon>Check for Updates
This will update Palemoon to 28.1.0

@ JFB:-
This .pet will give you 28.1.0 direct. As bigpup says, Moonchild Productions have now adopted the same method as Firefox.....updating from within the browser. Look in the 'Help->About Palemoon' menu item.
(This was built from the tarball, so is essentially 'generic'. I have it running in several older Pups.)

Thanks for the PET. Works nicely in Tahr 6.0.6, posting from it now.
Update 11 nov 2018:
This PET is also working for me in SailorE's Slacko571 WoofCE build.

Dusty; you're most welcome, lass. I just hope it works okay for you. The one you've been using has in fact got a self-contained version of the exact same glibc that Tahrpup uses anyway - libc-2.19.DustyPixel wrote:Hello Mike Walsh -
Thanks for this - I'd been using the palemoon-28.0.0-glibc219tweak.pet for Wary/Racy from the Palemoon browser thread but wasn't sure if it was the best one for Tahrpup. Works great!

Hey all, Long Time No See. I am still running Puppy exclusively, although on newer hardware.
I used the update pet on tahrpup,64 6.05 full install and it appears to have worked except for one small problem. I have lost the indicator on my right side scroll bar and I now see I am running the 32 bit version. Any ideas?
Edit: Also noticed there are no check boxes or radio buttons.

Puppy Linux...
It just works!
It just works!
Use Puppy Package Manager(PPM) to uninstall the 32bit version of PaleMoon.
Get the 64 bit version of Pale Moon.
Install this 64 bit version of PaleMoon.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... x86_64.pet
After you get it installed and running.
I know it is not the latest version, but it is the one that will let you update Pale Moon internally by using help>About Pale Moon>check for updates.
One time selecting check for updates will get the latest version at that time.
Quick an easy.
That is how I did it.
Note:
In Pale Moon preferences>Advanced>Updates
There will now be options for how you want update to work.

I am not sure what may be messed up because you installed the 32bit version of Pale Moon.
So, that is why i suggested to uninstall the 32bit Pale Moon.
The pet should just install over the older Pale Moon changing it to that newer version. All stored settings and stuff should still be there. That is how it worked when I installed the newer 64bit version when an older 64 bit version was installed.
I guess you could keep everything installed and just install the newer version pet package. See what happens.
Menu bar>bookmarks>Organize Bookmarks has options for making backups.
