e-Sword bible software installation
Hi bones01,
Try Icewm, to change from JWM in Lupu-507, select Desktop, Desktop Settings, Window Manager Switcher Choose JWM or Icewm.
I've also had a running e-Sword disappear when minimized, and I believe I was using JWM at the time, however, it was an intermittent behaviour. Haven't noticed it happening with Icewm.

Thanks Jim,
I don't have the "Window Manager Switcher" in my menu. I'm using Lupu 5.0.1, so don't know if that makes a difference.
There's always something else to be done!
cheers

Desktop File -Appearance
I built a new 431 full install for my flash drive and I get this error message on the desktop file which is the one you wrote and copied it into Geany and saved to usr/share/applications
Can't find Exec command in .desktop file '/root/.usr/share/applications/e-Sword.desktop
I put the icon in pixmap but it does not find it either.
Its weird , the last install worked perfectly. one mistake I think I made was adding MFC40.DLL , I went back and added MFC42 but I don't know if it matters. Also the colors are horrible on the start page and poor in the graphics viewer .
This was the first time I installed 960.exe .
It does not show up in menu either. i don't understand how to make that file executable which may be the problem, esword.sh works fine.

sh
I put the ,,sh file on the desktop to open the program. Do you have any idea why the graphics are do poor? Is there enough difference in 9.60 to cause that?Jim1911 wrote:Apparently, your flash drive paths are different on your installation. Since e-Sword.sh works properly, you just need to edit the paths in the .desktop file to reflect your installation.
Thanks
This .desktop file must specify a different "category", which isn't recognised by Puppy. Try editing it to match the category in the other .desktop file.

This gets weirder by the minute. Now the root desktop file is gone and what is left is usr/share/applications/e-sword.desktop and usr/share/applications/wine-e-sword.desktopdisciple wrote:This .desktop file must specify a different "category", which isn't recognised by Puppy.

The one that functions is usr/share/applications/e-Sword.desktop.
Should I overwrite it or are they both wrong? Thanks!

Re: Wierd
If that file works, rename or delete the other. If you are still having problems, just go through the procedure on page 1 again.Frank Cox wrote: The one that functions is usr/share/applications/e-Sword.desktop.

Actually, you only need to restart jwm, which is rather less disruptiveAfter running fixmenus, you also need to restartX.

That one functions in the sense that it opens e-Sword? Or that it shows up in the menu?what is left is usr/share/applications/e-sword.desktop and usr/share/applications/wine-e-sword.desktop

Categories=WordProcessor matches my menu entry for abiword, so I think it should show up in the menu.

I have use E-sword like daily in XP for years, and thank God for it, but do not think i will install in Puppy, but TheWord Bible program is second to it. (http://www.theword.gr/) It only has a Windows version, but i have installed it using Wine in 2 other Linux distros and it runs fine with no other configuration needed, though it has lots of options in itself. I do use the compact install, and have no added many other modules to it. I like it that its Bible text comes with cross references, and i have been using it to make html N.T. Bible pages with commentary, using OpenOffice. (http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/Ne ... t_TOC.html)
got ICEWM and e-sword now minimizes without disappearing. Think I'll hang on to it now.Jim1911 wrote:Hi bones01,

Esword will not install on Puppy Lucid 5.11
I am trying to install esword 9.51 on puppy lupu 5.11 I have downloaded and installed wine from quickpet (version 1.1.43). I got a message that gecko needed to be added and I followed the instructions on the wine wicki for installing it. I downloaded and installed the 2 dll's Jim1911 recommended to the directory /root/.wine "C:\\windows\\system32\". I also configured the two dll's he suggested in the wine config for native windows.
My problem is that now when I try to install the Esword setup .exe file nothing happens. I have tried telling it to open with wine but still no result.
I am running lupu 5.11 on a frugal install. I found a suggestion on the wine wiki that if a program fails to install with wine to try opening from terminal. I did that and got the following error message. Maybe it might explain why the install .exe file is not running. Here it is.
# wine setup951.exe
err:module:import_dll Library OLEAUT32.dll (which is needed by L "Z:\\mnt\\sdc1\\Mark's Toshiba Satelite Backup\\Downloads\\E-Sword\\version 9\\esword 9.51\\setup951.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L "Z:\\mnt\\sdc1\\Mark's Toshiba Satelite Backup\\Downloads\\E-Sword\\version 9\\esword 9.51\\setup951.exe" failed, status c0000135
Any ideas as to why this is not working or how I can get it to install? Thanks in advance.

Solved! problem installing e-Sword on Lucid Puppy 5.11
I seem to have found a solution to my problem of the e-Sword install file not installing. Rather than assigning the riched20.dll and oleaut32.dll to "native windows" in the wine config window I assigned them as "native, builtin). Then I tried again to install and it did without any problems. I am thankfully running e-sword now on my lucid puppy 5.11 frugal install and it is running fairly well. Everything seems to work although sometimes a bit jerky.
FWIW you don't normally need gecko. It is only for internet explorer and such things.
