Attached is a screenshot of amarok running.

Did you remember to update the Ubuntu Lucid package listings from within Puppy Package Manager? This will ensure that necessary dependencies are made available. You even have to do this on a fresh install of real Ubuntu.
No, Jack, I didn't remember mostly because I didn't know in the first place. Razz
I updated the repositories in puppy package manager before installing amarok, takes 5 to 11 minutes depending on the pc.It installed all but 1 lib and that lib was easy to get at packages.ubuntu.com
Amarok worked fine but installing other apps can sometimes break what was working, I remastered the live cd so I now have what is installed and working well in an iso so starting over is less of a problem.The remaster iso is 500 meg!
I'm having great fun with lucid puppy, it's my new favourite distro
I have all four browsers, Firefox, Opera, SeaMonkey and Chromium, installed on 2 different frugal installs of Lucid Puppy.I've been testing Youtube and other streaming videos with all 4 browsers,and I've had no freezing or lockups yet.playdayz wrote:The review that Lobster posted the link to was generally positive. The only negative I noticed was that the reviewers computer froze twice while watching youtube videos. Would anyone want to do extended tests of the 4 browsers in Lucid Puppy to see if one or the other was more prone to crashing on youtube?

Most of the children's programs I have tried to install have failed, so I will try the command line method and report back.4.1. Basic usage: applications and control panel applets
Assuming you are using a fake Windows installation, you install applications into Wine in the same way you would in Windows: by running the installer. You can just accept the defaults for where to install, most installers will default to "C:\Program Files", which is fine. If the application installer requests it, you may find that Wine creates icons on your desktop and in your app menu. If that happens, you can start the app by clicking on them.
The standard way to uninstall things is for the application to provide an uninstaller, usually registered with the "Add/Remove Programs" control panel applet. To access the Wine equivalent, run the uninstaller program (it is located in the programs/uninstaller/ directory in a Wine source directory) in a terminal:
$ uninstaller
Some programs install associated control panel applets, examples of this would be Internet Explorer and QuickTime. You can access the Wine control panel by running in a terminal:
$ wine control
which will open a window with the installed control panel applets in it, as in Windows.
If the application doesn't install menu or desktop items, you'll need to run the app from the command line. Remembering where you installed to, something like:
$ wine "c:\program files\appname\appname.exe"
will probably do the trick. The path isn't case sensitive, but remember to include the double quotes. Some programs don't always use obvious naming for their directories and EXE files, so you might have to look inside the program files directory to see what was put where.

I am using the very same system I bet--B50 it identifies itself as. It's great imo. I am seeing 4 cores in htop right now. I did not do anything in making luci-000 or Lucid Puppy for that matter that would influence use of the cores. But who knows, I am using a later version of the update than luci-000 and the 4 cores are working.Luci for some reason caused the post message say it was 3 cores and put me in a endless loop of entering pfix=ram and getting nowhere. I had to enter setup and disable the core software to 2 cores and then enable it on reboot. Lucid is working again with four cores but am concerned that an update might bork the system.
Not enough time to test for this 5.0.1 iso update I am afraid but people could test and it could be included in the first update through Quickpet.Patriots fix here corrects the problem with uncleanly unmounted ext2-formatted savefiles upon shutdown in lupu Very Happy Very Happy.
(Triple-checked by implementing, reverting, impl..., rev... with fsck:s inbetween (geeky, or what) Very Happy Very Happy )
My frugal installation was uneventful and so far everything appears to work on it.playdayz wrote:I was able to upgrade a CD install, with the lupusave file at /, a frugal install, with the lupusave at /puppy500, and a full install by using the Puppy Universal Installer and choosing Upgrade. That said, I never really upgrade myself, rather using a fresh install. I do that because upgrades make me nervousHowever, i did my best in testing that either a new install or an upgrade would work.
