You're probably facing a limitation of SNS, definitely not a limitation specific to Librepup. You can use multiple interfaces - maybe it's the network wizard that disallows this.

Could you host the isos/devx files on a server with download resuming? Don't have access to reliable Internet usually

Sorry, I have only one server dedicated to Librepup. Servers cost money

Try this:

Code: Select all

wget -t0 -C http://url.com/of/file.iso

That way if the download breaks you can resume.

Hello iguleder & all.

Hopefully this is new info and I'm not repeating a previous post.

Working on something else, I accidentally discovered that in librepup
the installed-by-default homebank is missing the libosp.so.5 library,
a copy of which can be found here.

I hope this helps. BFN.

Hello all.

"Curiouser and curiouser", says Alice's Rabbit...

Please see attached screen capture. Does anybody have an explanation?
Why does a gcc error appear when trying to update .Xresources live?

When xrdb is used this way, when I restart Xclock, all the foreground
colors in Xclock are black. They shouldn't be, as these colors have been
carefully chosen to form a theme.

For reference, here is my Xclock color configuration in .Xresources:

!XClock config ! Derived from http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions ... nding-road'
XClock.foreground: #fbfbfb
XClock.background: #b00018
!(...)
XClock.Clock.majorColor: rgba:4e/44/38/ff
XClock.Clock.minorColor: rgba:a0/c0/f0/ff
XClock.Clock.hourColor: rgba:c9/66/11/c0
XClock.Clock.minuteColor: rgba:00/82/9f/c0
XClock.Clock.secondColor: rgba:ff/ff/ff/ff

Thanks in advance for any leads.

Ok... The above was not the only library missing to be able to run xrdb in
librepup. Here is the URL of a *.pet archive containing all of them,
-- https://www.adrive.com/public/bypCZJ/xr ... up-6.x.pet --
and in tree form, their list:

Hello all.

I'm still in the "curiouser and curiouser" series. In LibrePup, the planner
project manager is missing the libgnomecanvas-2 library.

My LibrePup ppm was on sick leave today, even after updating it.

So I'm giving you the URL from the ALT-Sysyphus repo at pkgs.org.

After it got its missing lib, planner worked fine on this 32-bit computer.

I hope this helps. BFN.

Hello all.

Here are a couple of other reportedly missing libs:
* you may want to open directory /lib and copy
__ libssl.so.0.9.7 to libssl.so.0.9.8
__ libcrypto.so.0.9.7 to libcrypto.so.0.9.8
Those are actually links to libssl.so.1.0.0 and libcrypto.so.1.0.0,
respectively, who are already in the /lib directory. Those libs are required
by gs (aka ghostscript) and ppmtojpeg.

Add'l note:
* the libgnomecanvas lib above is also supporting notecase.

All of the above will be reported missing (and a few others) if you open a
terminal in a pristine LibrePup and type:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/bin
ldd * | grep not | grep -v dynamic

I did the same for dirs /bin and /usr/local/bin, and no missing libs were reported for the apps in those directories.

I'll keep you posted.

Bye for now.

Where is iguleder, BTW?

Hello all.

If you need a simple and efficient database program, here's a
portabase *.pet that'll work OOTB in LibrePup-6.0.2.2.

Enjoy!

Hello all.

I tried to compile a rather new echinus wm from git with the make
included in the librepup devx: it never got past ranlib errors. I compiled
it in librepup with the tahrpup devx instead and its make worked fine.

Please share similar experiences of compiling in librepup if you've had
any, if only to confirm that librepup' devx indeed has a "wild" ranlib --
and that I haven't lost a screw. Thanks in advance.

Now I've got the wonderful new tiling|hybrid wm: "echinus-0.4.8_abs"
running in librepup. (Please see pic below.) Leave a note if interested!

BFN.

Looks really nice.

Questions:
Is your librepup running echinus as its only wm (i.e. jwm removed)?
Can you share your echinus puppy package and your conky config please?
Thanks

EDIT: I found your echinus pet package here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 6&start=30

Awesome work! This distro looks as if it ought to be included in the Free Software Foundation's officially approved distro listings.

Richard Stallman can be contacted at:

rms@gnu.org

Not many distros actually do get an accreditation, but this one seems to possess the necessary attributes AFAIK.

Thanks yerc1.

Glad you found my echinus *.pet package.

No I haven't removed the jwm window manager from librepup. While I
am confident that echinus can handle all and any windows, it's never a
bad idea to keep a "cascading" window manager such as jwm handy,
for the odd case.

BFN.

P.S. -- Requested conky config is attached.

Hello tronkel.

Long time no see! How are you doing?

I agree with you. I think Iguleder should submit his LibrePup to the FSF.
LibrePup is "that good", IMO. However, he should give it a last polish, I
think, because* I found a few missing links, and while compiling the
new echinus, the "ar" aka "ranlib" in the devx went nuts...

BFN.

@futwerk: Very nicely done!

@musher0

Yes it's nice to back. I've been messing around with other stuff for quite a while - digital photography mostly, but the latest Puppy developments have pulled me back into the fold.

Comparing Librepup with the other FSF official offerings, it has the potential to overtake many if not all of them. It would be a statement to the world that Puppy has reached something of a pinnacle in it's development and now has the confidence to offer a libre version in it's catalogue lineup - apart from its practical attributes of course. Not so many distros can say that.

Last year (2014) I got to have a chat with Richard Stallman during a lecturing tour he held here in Vienna. Since he uses nothing else other than pure free software on his personal laptop (which never leaves his grasp!), I asked him what make of laptop he uses. The answer was that he had been using this (forget what it was called) obscure laptop, that is now no longer being made. He now recommends the use of old IBM hardware as being the most suitable for use with free software. Such old laptops can be picked up quite cheaply nowadays, so I think I'll have a go and see what transpires.

How are you getting along with Librepup?
