i wonder. you download all dependencies by selecting that option, but not installed. then how do you "undebed" them and combine to install at once?

i download all dependencies and selected not to install them so to save in a separate partition then install the debs one by one and can reuse them again if needed. i didn't know there is a way other than installing one at a time.
thanks lost in the desert jim

FULLPKG=`basename ${FULLPKGNAME} .deb`
mkdir -p /tmp/${FULLPKG}
dpkg-deb -x ${FULLPKGNAME} /tmp/${FULLPKG}

I was wandering if the updated programs that were put into 528 be put into 525?

Many radio stations use wma for their streams which is why for me an audio player needs to be able to play them and it seems they are handled differently from wma files. In WMP you have to use mms:// as the protocol rather than http:// to connect to the direct wma stream url although often you will see a metafile of some sort with an http:// prefix being used. The mms:// url will be contained within the metafile if you open it as text.

One example is WFTL in Florida. I can enter "http://streamer5.securenetsystems.net:80/WFTL" into VLC and it will connect and play,

libmms and the mms plugin

I don't know the motivations to force only ffmpeg0.9 or later in audacious, but the solutions that are given here involve some manipulations that are certainly not easy for most users. And in package repositories of several linux based operating systems, the latest version of ffmpeg is 0.7 (in my case, I have the latest version of Ubuntu, 11.10) and the change to ffmpeg 0.9 as official WON'T HAPPEN SOON.

I think clicking on the file opens a Puppy install dialog that extracts in / .

If you want to make a pet or sfs from it, extract it in a dir.

Code:
undeb filename.deb
, it will install all components to levels deeper than /root/my-documents; which is to say, if it is supposed to install to /usr/bin/, it will create and install to /root/my-documents/usr/bin/. There may be a way around this but my fix is simply to copy the .deb to / and undeb from there. The same holds true for unrpm.

Jim : Open them with xarchive. Xarchive will install them to ./usr, ./etc etc in the current directory . If you create a mainfolder like application-version also possible in xarchive and let xarchive install them to ./application-version/usr etc ..
Another way is the "dpkg --help" binary or busybox applet " busybox dpkg-deb -x " application-version.deb .

Code: Select all

FULLPKG=`basename ${FULLPKGNAME} .deb`
mkdir -p /tmp/${FULLPKG}
dpkg-deb -x ${FULLPKGNAME} /tmp/${FULLPKG}

@playdayz

the Code:
for file in *
do
undeb $file
done

that did unpacked the 4 files in two directors under /etherape but did not install the program and could not run. it is kind of a fun program and used it before in puppy.

LibreOffice 3.5.4 is the fastest version of the best free office suite ever, with up to 100% performance gains when opening large files (depending on operating system, hardware configuration and file contents).

went to 5x14 right click on /etherape extract all debs in folder and it did just that under /etherape creating /etherape/extracted-debs/user /etherape/extracted-debsvar but did not install the working program.

besides not getting these methods to work just don't get what is the difference between clicking on debs one by one and the other way?
thanks jim

When the Raspberry Pi does arrive, I will most likely switch over to working intensely on porting Puppy to it.

Which means that the x86 Precise Puppy will languish.
