Guess I'd better do a quick frugal install.

Manual frugal install on the Athlon XP box working well, except the two little apps mentioned earlier. Otherwise looking great.

James C. I believe there is something unusual with Dpup setup and your network connection. Debugging it would be challenge but might benefit. It looks like something inhibits the connection with getflash script and with gtk-youtube-viewer.

If you launch the gtk-youtube-viewer in console and it is time to connect...does it spill any errors.

I think that also installing from debian repo strace command. And then launching: strace getflash might debug what goes wrong with your flash downloading. First I wondered if it is my kernel...but it seems to happen with this 2.6.39.4 kernel also. I wonder if it is your router setup.

Do you have working getflash with other Puplets or Puppies ?
Previous debugging has not shed any light but I try to be persistent.

Exprimo 5.X.14

GetFlash fails.....I usually just install Flash manually but if you want to do some debugging ,,,,, Laughing

Hi pemasu

Pristine, frugal, manual install of 5.x.14 on my HP550 laptop.

All looks good - in particular the Broadcom-STA wl driver is loaded and creates eth1 which is persistent over a reboot.

A couple of small comments though....

You seem to have included an old version of the Broadcom-STA driver:

from dmesg:

Peebee. I would be grateful if you compile the latest wl module...I used the version I had in hdd.
License.txt. You are right...I forgot to add it. I need to place the license.txt to zzdpup-utilities pet so that it will be added automatically.
Will be in next version update.

Peebee, thank you !!!

James C. I noticed that Dpup seems to use different gtkdialog-splash script than woof provides. Some pet seems to overwrite the default version. I will hunt down that pet.

Meanwhile....Install the attached pet. It will install the woof version of gtkdialog-splash over the existing one. Lets see if gtkdialog-splash behaves for you then with flashdownloader ie getflash script.

Probably it does not fix anything..but you never know.

If not....what happens if you run in console:
wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.1.102.63/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz

Interestingly though, if I copy the link (minus "wget") into Firefox... downloads with no problem.
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.1.102.63/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz

Appears it may be a wget problem.Or something entirely different.

OK, tried to download the gtkdialog-splash-fix-0.0.1.pet with wget, it failed as well.
