Spotify client for Tahrpup 6 & Slacko 5.7
That's because..
What you wanna do now is rename the FF folder your using to reflect the directory these point to.

Stock Slacko_5.7.. Fresh save file.. NO programs updated.. These installed in order.. NO menu launch.
Terminal says:
GConf-3.2.5 installed via PPM >> polkit skipped as I know it's already installed.
NO menu launch. Fires from the shell and logs in without issue.
Terminal says:
Code: Select all
# spotify
spotify: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory

Tempestuous, no such animal. In the meantime I'll look elsewhere..
PS - With a little folder renaming, Spotify continues to work with Slacko's FF 27 pet, sans menu launch.
It's gotta be an environment variable somewhere..

Odd.. After a reboot she launches.
If I kill it after initial launch and login, the second round doesn't open full-screen.
When attempting to go to full-screen, its window simply shifts down.
I've gotta stretch everything open then exit from the taskbar while holding down Ctrl in order to open full screen again.
A truly *bizarre* program.

What I didn't mention was that I don't have a Spotify account, so when I launch the application I only get as far as the login prompt. So I rely on Semme's information regarding necessary Firefox version, and requirement for GConf.
To this end I have updated the instructions in the first post, and modified my compatibility dotpet for Firefox libs in Slacko. (The symlinks now point to /usr/lib/firefox).

Big Guy, you may wanna make this #4. It's for anyone running the build Slacko shipped with.
Furthermore, a reboot's not only a good idea, it's *absolutely* essential for a menu launch.
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
mv /usr/lib/firefox-17.0.11 /usr/lib/firefox
rm -f /usr/bin/firefox
ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
exit

There's just one problem with renaming the directory of Slacko's original Firefox installation - if the user has already installed a more recent Firefox, it's likely this installation will be overwritten by the old Firefox!
So my spotify-fix-Slacko5.7-Firefox.pet now contains this post-install script -
You will see that this script renames the original firefox installation directory only if a new installation of Firefox is not found.

if [ ! -f /usr/lib/firefox/firefox ];then
mv /usr/lib/firefox-17.0.11 /usr/lib/firefox
rm -f /usr/bin/firefox
ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
fi

Semme is on the right track - the download of the spotify dotpet is probably corrupt.
The correct md5sum is 35975189837e01cc32f22fc5bcf4ebca
but I have revised the dotpet once or twice since it was first posted, so it's hard to know if this applies to ribblle's download.
The safe thing to do is download again, and for complete confidence perform the download with the commandline utility wget
So open a console and do this -
Now use ROX to install the dotpet, which will be found in /root
I just did a clean boot to the Slacko 5.7.0 CD now, downloaded the dotpet (with Firefox 17.0.11)
and as you can see, the installation was successful -

It successfully installed, but puppy wouldn't reboot or shutdown (might have been lag) so I forced it to turn off. Spotify isn't in multimedia, but the pet says it's already installed and when i rrun it in the terminal i get: "spotify: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so.1d: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
