Thanks for rapid response! The HD seemed to have sda1ext4, sda2ext3, sda3f2s, maybe a swap? Had nothing vital, so have re-installed (partition) using new script.I may have to introduce strict rules in the install scripts, not to allow installation into too-small drives/partitions.

The problem is 08-09 are invalid octal numbers.

Another option is to use these which are 1 char shorter!

Q-T 605 new install to partition ext4
There have been problems:
Install crashed at 41%. Hard reset, reinstall. GRUB4Dos crash when trying to edit menu.lst.
G4D reinstalled from Slacko!
No default 'aluminium', set 'colour' instead. PPM FlashPlayer v11 doesn't work with BBC iPlayer/SM - will overwrite with v10 from stock since it is usually more reliable. Yes, success, just as Terryphi advised some while ago.
it's all getting a bit fraught with version numbers, two distinct Q- versions, install scripts and names. Don't envy the developer's housekeeping effort before gold.

I looked at Chromium settings, I thought it was already set to '/file/downloads', but decided to reset it to '/file/downloads' and now Chromium downloads to '/file/downloads'.BarryK wrote:I noticed one thing wrong.

Would you check to see that BOTH of these point to "/file/downloads"?
This is how they look AFTER manually [re]setting to "/file/downloads".
"download": {
"default_directory": "/file/downloads",
"directory_upgrade": true,
"extensions_to_open": "",
"prompt_for_download": true
},
"savefile": {

Quirky Tahr 6.05
For those that require a Bible Study Tool, Bibletime works great on Barry's latest Quirky Tahr.
I have it installed on a flash drive and find that it works great and is exceptionally fast. It does require the whole partition or drive. Bibletime is installed by clicking on the install icon which runs the Quirky Package Manager. Be sure to first configure the package manager, otherwise your search may not find Bibletime and even if it is found it probably will not install.
Thank you Barry,
Jim

Quirky Tahr 6.0.5
Chromium installed from PPM
This Chromium is working great.
I removed ALL Flash Players and Chromium WILL play TED http://ted.com/talks but SeaMonkey will not.
Is there something about HTML5 not working in SeaMonkey for TED?

Hi BarryBarryK wrote:Without actually having hands-on at your computer, I don't really know what else to suggest.
You should be able to follow a logical procedure to determine why the code that I supplied did not work, whereas what you did before did work.
I think the problem is that $INTERFACE is wlan0 whereas for rfkill it needs to be wlan - i.e. no zero
If I put your code into a test file BUT change $INTERFACE to wlan then it works correctly - but with wlan0 it fails because the rfkill list wlan0 command fails.
Hope this constitutes the necessary "logical procedure"...I can't test directly because I don't know what $INTERFACE actually contains

For the record can you describe in detail how you managed to get Google Chrome running in Tahr?
Have you tried Chromium?
It is in the Ubuntu repository. I just noticed it there, using the Quirky Package Manager, haven't tried it though.
I tried Chromium... it said:
Quote:
Chromium can not be run as root.
Please start Chromium as a normal user. To run as root, you must specify an alternate --user-data-dir for storage of profile information.
I do not understand what to do. But I like to play and may solve.
Also after PPM install, it said 'gstreamer' was needed.
But I have service_pack-6.0.3_TO_6.0.4-tahr.pet installed, which was to add gstreamer.
EDIT:
Well I tried and it did not work:

OK, fixed, see blog post:
http://bkhome.org/news/?viewDetailed=00063
There was rather a lot to do, to get it all right, but the next release of Quirky Tahr (6.0.5), which should be out very soon, will (hopefully) have it all sorted out.

Great news that all that is sorted out with 6.05. I am the glad beneficiary of all the hard work that has gone into this. Thank you.

Yes, but how big is the partition? That is, size, in MB or GB. Mouseover the icon on the desktop will tell you.Sage wrote:Thanks for rapid response!

Ah, that must be it!
I have added that extra "savefile" entry into /usr/local/petget/hacks-postinstall.sh, also in the FIXUPHACKS file in the chromium template in the Quirky build system.

OK, for sns at least, I have modified /usr/local/simple_network_setup/sns line 327 as follows:
Code: Select all

After a clean install of QT 6.0.5 to flashdrive, I note
the yellow First Time SeaMonkey box still appears
on every launch of SeaMonkey.
Its intended purpose to only appear once is not working.
Could the symlink
ln -snf /usr/lib/seamonkey/seamonkey /usr/bin/seamonkey
be permanently included by default please in future releases.

Not sure what's different in recent Puppies but micko's Slacko64 doesn't work either with it's pre-installed FP. In that case there may be another issue? How can I convert a 32-bit v.10 into a 64-bit .pet?! Suspect that turn out to be rhetorical, esp. as it's proprietary code!PPM FlashPlayer v11 doesn't work with BBC iPlayer

But, that was an act of desparation. You guys who have this problem, have to help me.
Download the attached, then:
# gunzip seamonkey.gz
# chmod 755 seamonkey
Copy it to /usr/bin/, replacing old 'seamonkey' -- if you have a symlink there, delete that first.
Now, in a terminal:
# seamonkey > /root/seamonkey.log 2>&1
Let us know if you get the popup, well you should, as that is the problem.
Exit seamonkey, start again, notice the two >>:
# seamonkey >> /root/seamonkey.log 2>&1
Then post the file /root/seamonkey.log here. As an attachment, you might have to gzip it, or just append ".gz".

unable to get webcam to work on dell inspiron mini netbook--it ran guvcview under slacko 5.3 and precise 5.6 and 5.7. in tahr i was able to get some basic webcam program (the name of which i can't recall--camsomething...) to work, but after the upgrade to 6.0.5, that wouldn't work either. i uninstalled all the webcam stuff, reinstalled the latest guvcview from the PPM and still no luck. any suggestions?
thanks in advance.
(other than that it really is running extraordinarily well off the usb 2 drive.)
