(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Running Puppy 4.20

I downloaded FoxitReader1.0-1.pet. Fortunately, I found it on this forum and had read the comments before installing, and I learned from Mr. Toads experience, except my setup uses Xvesa not Xorg.

Mr. Toad wrote
"Just in case anyone else finds Foxit vanishes after trying to load a file... I changed my Xorg colour depth from 16 bits to 24 bits and everything was then fine."

With 16 bits mode, running the program in the terminal rendered a similar message as Mr. Toad 's computer.

# /usr/share/Foxit/FoxitReader

(è×tReader:4604): Gdk-WARNING **: The gdk_draw_*_image require the drawable argument to
have a specified colormap. All windows have a colormap,
however, pixmaps only have colormap by default if they
were created with a non-NULL window argument. Otherwise
a colormap must be set on them with gdk_drawable_set_colormap

(è×tReader:4604): Gdk-WARNING **: Attempt to draw a drawable with depth 24 to a drawable with depth 16

Gdk-ERROR **: The program '\xe8\xd7a\u0008tReader' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 3034 error_code 8 request_code 70 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Aborted

The computer has no problem running 24 bits color. My question is has a fix been made for this bug?

Yes they've been contacted about the issues

Just downloaded, installed and tested your Foxit Reader .pet package, seems to work like a charm with Lupu 5.11: opened an 800-plus page PDF in a second and printed two pages of it with no fuss at all.

Real cool, thanks again Ttuuxxx (millionth time).

Anyone can upload the file to another host? It is missing. Thanks.
