Mark,
Can your mirror be connected too with petch?
If not that would be a great facility.
I know Tomb left, but wasn't somebody else taking over?
Comment ça va?

Hi Beem,

The package lists will need to be available for the new servers..then petch should work...it may take more time to get it correct.

Salut Bernard,
as far as I understand
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=33436
dotpups.de should be available in petch, just not the Puppy 4 packages, as they have no dotpups.txt yet.
Ok, I can generate one this week.

I'm fine so far.
My foot is ok, it was not torn, just overbent. I can walk as usual again now.
This month or january I will have a meeting where I get to know if I will get the Java training in february.
This would be a two month course paid by the state.
Currently there are a lot of free jobs, but around 80% require knowledge in Java or SAP.
A few jobs require knowledge in C++/C#.
I was offered one, well payed, but it requires knowledge in Visual C++ (Windows), that is different to my knowledge in C/Gtk.

So at moment I analyze job offers, update my CV, and soon will have to buy a faster computer.
My Pentium 700 is too slow for Eclipse, the Java IDE.
I don't expect, that a lot will happen this year so short before christmas, so I use the time to help answering some forum messages, and will have a close look on what happens concerning Puppy 4.2.

But please do not expect too much from me at moment.
The winter makes me tired, and I also use a lot of time just to relax, take a walk and so on.
I had no "real" holiday for 2 years (like visiting another country), and need a break from computing.
So I just look at smaller tasks at moment.

Has something changed in Puppy 4.1.2? I partially screwed-up my system so started fresh with 4.1.2 full install. Now Opera 9.62 will not install or work properly but a 9.51 pet works. I installed the latest java pet but bittyrant will not function either Confused

Java installed in /usr/lib automatically, is that the right place? This didn't happen in 4.1.1 so what gives? Puppy has usually been a most obedient buddy and only gets rabid when I try something stupid, but in this case every thing is vanilla.

I can live with Opera 9.50 but miss bittyrant! I know others have had problems with Opera 9.62 installing to an unusual location, is this Java issue related?

Cheers Smile

Dear puppians,

I installed the latest java pet and it works under 3.01, which I still use with pleasure/conviction. If you want recent java apps to look OK, create a file in /usr/lib/javaxxxx/lib/ called swing.properties. It should have the following contents:

Hi guys, I just uploaded a fixed version, I found 1 broken link that stopped some Java apps from working.

Dear Puppians,

First of all, a round of thanks to ttuuxxx for the java. Second of all, if you have downloaded it, then you need something to run. I have come across a very reasonable and tiny java-based file manager called jfilerunner. It is attached. In functionality, it is similar to Midnight Commander and MuCommander, but is only 168k or so, and Michael Corral has done a very good job at coding a nice and useful application.

In puppy 3.01 and Slack I have to precede the invokation with an enviromental var, which I do in a bash script:

Forgive me if I've missed something, but how do I get JAVA, and how do I install it in Puppy 4.10?

Sorry about cross posting this here but I have been wondering:

/usr/local/bin/java points to ../../../root/jre1.6.0_11/bin/java but it is empty and the folder info says that it is empty or does not exist. (the icon is yellow with a !) Which file is supposed to be in there?

I have the plugin linked in /.mozilla/plugins and it points to /usr/lib/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so but when I view my plugins in SeaMonkey (about: plugins) java does not show up so I am not sure if SeaMonkey sees it. I guess it must be working because Gmail works nicely now. Anyway, I wanted to run a Java app from the desktop (SweetHome3D: http://www.sweethome3d.eu/ )and I wanted to try the webstart too.

java was installed using the pet package manager.
