1. Use Quickpet -> More Pets -> Update Lupu PPM to get the latest Packages-puppy-lucid-official (contents of PPM).

2. Look under System for libpython, hal, gparted <not there>

3. Search for libpython, hal, gparted <are there>

Why is this happening? Thank you.
Yes, I am pretty sure it is because hal and gparted are already installed in one version or another from the original Woof. PPM does not show packages that are already installed. I would have to give different names such as hal_extra-lucid and then it would show up.

Well, I had a version of Wine installed, so I guess my problem is caused by the same issue.

Found this work around:
http://n00bsys0p.wordpress.com/2011/02/ ... -in-linux/

Seems to only cache one video at a time so no opening multiple youtube tabs - mine is in /proc/18396/fd
Yes :oops:

Can someone please explain the link in simple language?

Ha ha that text was as easy as PanCakes to follow. Just do it as they tell me when I ask people on "Real Linux" forums and they get irritated me fail to grasp their high tech language.

Chris I agree with you that it was not easy at all. How far did you get it. I read and read and vaguely grasped some of it. Did you try the search for flash then that should show in which folder you can look for the file.

Not sure for how long it last there though. And if it happens to all kinds of streaming videos. Are there not many different versions out there?
Hopefully someone that do grasp it show compassion and explain it to us.

Would be cool to be able to save such things
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

But I guess it is simple

These flash files are now saved in the cache of the respective browsers instead of the .tmp file

I use Google Chrome and i could snatch these files from a folder called .cache in root

Just for a second there I thought someone had ported the famous British Accounting Package (http://www.sage.com) of the same name. I was almost excited. ;-)

I run my browser with cache disables (dumped chrome as it was a disk hog)

Way round was to install "lsof" from the ubuntu repository in puppy package manager.

and paste this command in terminal to open the correct directory containing temporary flash files in Rox file manager.

yt=$(lsof | grep -i flash | awk 'NR==2{ print $2 }') && rox /proc/$yt/fd

Still need to pre load videos same as when they were stored in /tmp

I made a remaster which generated all the necessary files and also an .iso which I later burnt to a disc.I then booted the disc only to find it was a standard version of 5.2 that didn't include my new .sfs
After spending many hours and making around 20 remasters I finally found the problem,which had nothing whatsoever to do wth Lucid 52 remastering
It turns out that all the remasters were in fact good and the reason it was loading as a clean install each time was because it was finding and using a 5.2 sfs from my main frugal install,although there was no indication of this occurring.Once hidden it all worked fine.
My sincere apologies if this caused any confusion.

That was certainly my belief, though I haven't tried it...if it isn't, try Sagelive

Just don't get too excited, it's only numbers.... :wink:

Aitch,

The links you are pointing to, whether the sfs or SageLive, are nothing to do with the Sage accounting package.

They are to do with an implementation of the Sage Project on Puppy. The Sage project brings together a collection of open source software to do mathematics on your computer.

Personally, I find the Sage Project a bit more exciting than a Sage Accounting package - but, as a mathematician, I could be biased.

OK, thanks
Just shows my lack of knowledge about such stuff....I just spend, and don't account much.....when it's gone, it's gone....

sorry if I unintentionally misled anyone :oops:

I have gotten burned by that also, at least several other people too ;-)

Just awesome :roll: Thanks man!

Coolpup has updated the OpenSSL

http://puppylinux.org/wikka/OpenSSL

@ stu90

Those packages of TOR didn't really work but coolpup versions did work
Finally got TOR working with regular FF browser, using TOR addon with libevent, openssl, polipo, & tor. Needed updated OpenSSL. (Thanks coolpup!) http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Tor
Trick was to edit /etc/polipo/.config so that ProxyPort=8118 (from 8123). Trying to set the proxy within FF to 8123 didn't work.

After viewing an increasing number of sites selling personal info, including browsing history, I decided to get this working :)

Edit: To run links browser on TOR, go to setup/network options/Proxies and add "localhost:8118" (or whatever the port is). Check "connect only via proxies..."
or from cli, add: -http-proxy localhost:8118 -only-proxies 1

Strange problem: When I open cd or dvd drives on my machine by pressing the button, the tray moves out and immediately back without giving me time to insert or remove a disk!

This is definitely an OS problem since the drives work normally in BIOS setup (before an operating system has been installed). They also work properly with some other puppies I have tested: Wary 070, Lighthouse 5.02.

Wary 500 had the same problem, but this has been corrected in Wary 504.

There was a similar problem in Quirky 005, see:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 9&start=30

The replacement code linked there did not solve the problem in Wary 500. I have not tried it in Lucid 5.2.

I should mention that the "eject" command has the same problem and that I have loaded the instant update pet.

If you like to download the latest or update your flashplayer from Adobe site straight, I stripped the code from Barrys delayedrun and made a pet of it.
Install the pet and then in console:

Code: Select all

#dldflash
The pet is removed. It didnt work fully. but dldflash from console gives you opportunity to update flash. It was posted above.
