I'm with tarhpup 6.0.5 and all quickpet updates made.
I get a problem when i want to print with a recent firefox, glabels and thunderbird, all gtk3 applications : when i want to print the software closes.
I get this error in the terminal
Code:
symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/printbackends/libprintbackend-cups.so: undefined symbol: ippSetOperation
It seems there is a compatibility problem between cups and gtk3.
Cups is in 1.5.3 version.

Try to upgrade to tahr 6.0.6 Cups 1.7.5. No problems here printing from firefox 56.0.1.

It works fine on 6.0.6.
Thank you for the idea.
Is it possible to update 6.0.5 to 6.0.6 ?
I have a lot of software and my pupsave folder is around 2Go, so if it is possible to update it will be a very good thing.

Should be able to use the 6.0.5 tahrsave with the 6.0.6 install.
Just copy the save to the 6.0.6 install.
When you boot 6.0.6 it should update the save.
If you already made a save for 6.0.6, replace it with the one from 6.0.5

Hi,
Thanks bigpup,
It doesn't work very well : it's slow and some softwares don't work at all.
I will begin with a new one and maybe try xenialpup.

Could you give more details?
This should not be happening.
What programs do not work?
Slow how?
Both versions are installed on the same type formatted partition?
Did not have one on say fat32 and one on ext3?
Was the save a file or a folder?
Sorry but I have to ask.
32 bit Tahrpup 6.0.5 to 32 bit 6.0.6?

Hi all! I've not checked in for a long time as Linux Mint is my main distro nowadays, but I've always had a soft spot for Puppy as it's where I first dove in when I started tinkering with Linux.
Just curious if anybody knows whether there is a later (the current LTS 16.04 maybe?) Ubuntu-based Puplet in development somewhere...?
Cheers!
EDIT - Ignore the above, just found XenialPip....going to give it a whirl!

Any clue/help?
Thanks

Developers wrote a script "run-as-spot" to launch any app as spot. I do not remember if included in tahr. Open pfind and search for it. You can copy it from other recent puppies in the same path. Then in console:
Code: | run-as-spot palemoon |
If you want to use your .moonchild productions profile in root copy it in /root/spot and in console:
Code: | chown -R spot /root/spot |
LATER: run-as-spot is included in tahr 6.0.6 and it works.

Here's all you need from that: Code: |

Thank you, Watchdog.
I'm able to run palemoon by 'run-as-spot' [run-as-spot defaultbrowser].
Also, I moved the palemoon profile folder inside 'spot' folder. It seems to work, the terminal windows needs to be left open though.
However, I'm not sure about browser segregation, since I can still open/save files everywhere from the browser itself.
Consistently, I couldn't, am I wrong?
Thanks.

If you are going to use spot user for browsing everything I suggest to edit /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser inserting the run-as-spot there.

What you open/save after using run-as-spot have user spot and another user can't open them. Root can always access your files. Are you saying that you can open files having user root after using run-as-spot? That would be odd!

Thanks for helping watchdog.
I moved 'run-as-spot' to /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser, as you suggested (brief explaination?)
When spot, I can't save/modify any file outside spot folder, as expected.
I can always open/read all my files regardless their location from 'open file' in palemoon though. Correct?

Yes, it's correct. I presume you open files in palemoon running as spot after you saved them by the same palemoon: they have user spot. Try to open a file in palemoon running as spot after saving it in standard palemoon running as root. You could not open it. I suggest to you to collect al files you download in palemoon running as spot in a single folder: if you look the Properties of these files then you see they have all user spot. You can change the ownership to root in console:
Code: | chown root /path-to/file |
or recursively:
Code: | chown -R root /path-to/Downloads |
