(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

When I click on HELP, I get a help page displayed in Netsurf.
When I try to display the help for an application, I use the dropdown selection to choose the application.

It then gets displayed in the dropdown menu as my selection.
But how does one actually see that help page?
I ask this because there is no GO button and clicking on the selection just activates the drop down menu again.

Having all those missing dependencies means Puppy 5.1 was not ready and we have to use Puppy 5.0

I was able to get Pmusic to work at least.
I installed id3lib and ffmpeg

... but I couldn't get gnome-player to work. I did get the following terminal output

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# ldd mplayer
libfaad.so.0 => not found
libx264.so.60 => not found

but I am stumped. VLC Player can be used as a substitute.

I am not experiencing any of your issues with Pmusic in 5.1 running xfce4~ ..I compiled the ffmpeg we are using and it works ok for me, ogg and all.

I installed it from QuickPet, got the message 'Chromium installation successful', but nothing happens when I click the browser icon or start from the menu. If I open a console and issue the command 'chrome' the response is 'illegal instruction'.

I had no problems with chrome in 5.0.1 but don't want to fall back if I can help it. Any ideas, please?

Ah yes, the older Athlon/ P2 issue with Google Chrome.. I'm afraid it won't run on older processors, the alternative is to use SRWare Iron browser , they have a version for P2 which you need if you run an Athlon or Duron processor, or even an old Tbird (great chip at the time IMO )

Having all those missing dependencies means Puppy 5.1 was not ready and we have to use Puppy 5.0 instead. I couldn't find this anywhere in the forum and apologize if the problem has already been mentioned.

Yes, chrome was version 5 in Puppy 5,

Agreed. It's a PITA to install printers using Netsurf because the CUPS drop-down menus don't work.

Please only report bugs about the official lucid puppy 5.1in this thread.

There was a misleading statement made:

This is not referring to the official 5.1.

There are a few puplets loosely based on 5.1 floating around

Report bugs in those versions in the appropriate threads.

Thank you.
