I tried to use Puppy Package Manager to load conky but it seems not to be able to find it on any server. The same thing happens for most everything else I've tried (As of late) to download. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. *Which is sadly typical.James C wrote:.

Hi James186282,
I think all you need is here. You can download the DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 014a76a44e (just clear .jpg after download).

root/.packages/ and edit the DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS file to:

Seems to do the job. Everything updates, but when you try to install something none of the files are located and you are prompted to update the repositories for PPM. So now I am definitely out of ideas
Now i made a .pet and only with one clic everything works fine :augras wrote:Hi,I found the same solution and post there http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 014a76a44eparishilton wrote: Seems to do the job.

And everything works but you must choose "old-releases.ubuntu.com" and not let by default "ftp.filearena.net" when the window for downloads comes.
It will be best if "old-releases.ubuntu.com" was by default but i didn't find, not really take time to do it !

Hi,
This post is just to bring back this excellent Pup to the top of the Puppy
forum listing!
As backi said above: uPup-raring 3.9.9.2 is awesome! -- Even two years
later, even when compared to some of the newer pups. Sorry if I'm
offending anyone...
BFN.

Yea thats right ! Excellent idea .
Missing Pemasus excellent work (for example Dpup-Exprimo).
He did really high quality stuff .
Miss him a lot.
Just wanted to bring Raring back into memory .Like to see a successor in Thar Pup.
But Pemasu seems to busy.

Hi,
For the problem with the ppm i made a .pet and now it works just with one clic, nothing to choose after when you have to download, just clic on "Downoad" :

I suppose the principle of this solution is good for other "abondoned" ubuntus as
well, for ex. the UnicornPup based on Utopic Unicorn ?
How about pemasu's Wheezy pups? Would your solution be valid for the Debian-
based Puppies too?
Thanks in advance for any lead.

Augras pet solved the problem of package manager
Augras pet solved the problem of package manager. Merci. It can be used for other 'flavours' of Ubuntu Puppies, and that works well.
