Hi, I have been playing with this pup and I can't seem to get flash player to install. The links are all bad no matter which download mirror I choose


Here is a download link:

Get the .tar.gz version.

Unpack the tarball to get the file libflashplayer.so

Copy it to the folder /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.

Right but my point is if the average user wants to install from the ppm all the links are broken.

I am not sure.

But I guess Firefox has this lag on Puppy when I use Wlan.

I bought a new wlan adapter but still there is this lag.

Perhaps, developers don't keep in mind the way browsers utilize the network connection in Linux when building puppy so that browsers get screwed up trying to display pages.

Perhaps, I am wrong Very Happy


I guess, its just that I have to click several times to get my browser to move to that page where in Windows its much smoother.

I noticed that when my PC gets to standby mode. Sometimes, it gets totally disconnected although i don't see the disconnected icon in the taskbar

I would be great to get a Pidgin and TOR update though :3

Mick, can you help with this, posted in noryb's win32 thread?

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=580663#580663

I don't know if noryb used the same 530 scsi pae for his 530pae.exe installer, but the live CD works, the .exe, not....no CD on desktop??...and often no savefile loads...may be timing?

thanks

It seems Flashplayer have moved their repo so Barry's or my flash installer will not work.

I have made a simple gui that takes you to the flash site so you can download flash manually but at least install it easily. It works with seamonkey and chromium confirmed but should be fine with iron, opera, firefox. You are prompted to close the browser, in fact installation halts if you leave the browser open, you can continue when you close the browser.

It's almost impossible to keep flash in the puppy repo because it is updated randomly and often. So I hope this makes life a little easir for those who don't like digging into the filesystem.

EDIT: A newer getflash is posted 2 posts down, based on Barry's findings on an opensuse page. I'll leave this one up, since it's completely different.

Hmmmm....

getflash has been a PITA for the past few days.. but with Barry's find I managed to alter the current getflash prog and it seems to work ok. There is no ping to google, it just finds the url by parsing the flash webpage.. so if that webpage can be parsed then that's good enough to check connection! If not the loop stops.

Here it is, direct download of flashplayer.. take 3!

Firefox 9 Beta or Firefox 10 Aurora

Adobe Flash doesn't work

Perhaps, they are moving to HTML5 but I am not sure why. Can anyone check it out. Thanks

Well.. seems encryption is fixed in the latest woof... this was a major bug in my opinion so expect an update soon.

Posting from a heavy encrypted Slacko-save now.

Thats cool but I wonder if its that easy to replace flash by all websites. Firefox 9 is too early to be flash free.

I posted a temporary patch I made that works. It can be found under the Users section.
It is not needed with the latest Racy version.
But it works with Slacko if instructions in the post are followed.

It can be found here.

Xsane issue Threshold not available.
Having been done some testing for Peasyscan, I discovered an issue in Xsane lineart (binary) mode.

When selecting the scan mode panel, I don't have the threshold bar.
My device is epson2

I have it in Icepuppy 012 and when discussing with rsrcn51 he advised to use the libsane-epson2.so.xxx library files in /usr/lib/sane from Ice to slacko 5.3

I did so and I could use the threshold bar.

Code:
# ls -l libsane-epson2*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     24 2011-11-10 08:17 libsane-epson2.so -> libsane-epson2.so.1.0.20
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     24 2011-11-10 08:17 libsane-epson2.so.1 -> libsane-epson2.so.1.0.20
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 162780 2011-05-26 17:18 libsane-epson2.so.1.0.20
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 160800 2011-10-24 13:39 libsane-epson2.so.1.0.21org
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     24 2011-10-24 13:32 libsane-epson2.so.1org -> libsane-epson2.so.1.0.21
#
The library files ending in xxxxorg are the slacko 5.3 ones.
The others (which work) the ICE puppy 012 ones

I thought I just mention this for those who are using a epson2 backend.
Béèm

To save me downloading ice puppy can you do me the favour of tarballing the libsane-epson2.so.1.0.20 file please? I can pet it up as a z_sane_hack and it will overwrite the slacko libs in woof.

TIA.
Micko,
I have been away a lot the WE.
I added a fake .gz extension to the file, just remove it after the download.
