Have three versions of Eudora-xxx.pet in my personal repository, kindly supplied by Forum gurus. One is labelled 'wary', one 'lucid' rc1 and the other just v1.0.
Mick: please do you have a recommendation or should I wait for a new .pet?

ziggy_patch_ppm

My PPM quit working, but the patch did not repair it. However copying ui_Classic to ui_Ziggy did allow it to start (with the classic ui). Does the Ziggy ui need something that the Classic ui does not need that I might have cratered by installing and uninstalling some packages?

yeah.. some TLC by the look of things!

Can you restore the ziggy ui and run ppm from commandline. If no clues, do it the way broomdodger did, the info he supplied was valuable.

Cheers

01micko, your patch got PPM working again.
I will try stressing it again soon.

.. got to the bottom of that one!

What you did was remove all repos, ui_Ziggy bugged out. I have made this more robust by hard coding in the default repo. Why would you want to remove it anyway?

Ok, yes, it's still a bug!

Attached is a cumulative pet that includes the last patch.[REMOVED-see below] BE WARNED, if you don't remove all repos this patch should be unnecessary, so we will consider it experimental until further notice. The old patch on the previous page is sound.

playdayz.. you will likely need to replace /root/.packages/PKGS_MANAGEMENT with the one from /initrd/pup_ro2/root/.packages to recover.

Oops, Sorry about that. I didn't mean to. I got in the habit of unchecking the default repo when I was adding the ubu repos in Lucid to avoid any conflict and carried it over and then I guess I missed a check mark putting it back.

Add: yes that fixed it, and I did have to copy PKGS_MANAGEMENT.

Seems like the Mesa-GLX drivers still aren't working on my Intel N10 Integrated Graphics card.

I've been having the same issue with past Slackos, but all is working well under Lucid...

As an instance, when trying to run an OpenGL-based game, the prompt says that OpenGL could not load, or something.

Might not be the first you get that bug report, but if there's anything I should check please tell me so!

thanks

Appears to be a JWM problem. Fixed by installing
icewm-1.3.7-i686-s.pet
from
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... es-slacko/
and changing /etc/windowmanager entry to icewm.

I installed Slacko 5.3.3 in frugal mode: after I changed keyboard (ps2) configuration: country: ca layout:multi, language: cf, keyboard operation is OK. Soon I reboot the pc, the keyboard becomes unusable. It looks like the configuration changes are not saved with the pupsave. Otherwise, mouse operation is normal.

Barry has accepted my PPM patches upstream so this is an "official" patched pet. All users are urged to install, I'll put a link in the main post and remove the old patches.

NO.. Barry's alteration breaks it!!!! Back to patch 2. This is because big changes happened to woof PPM on May 4.. I already had final built. See Barry's blog if you want more info.

One unlucky user got the faulty one, please get this one

I have fattened german langpack to 25M to suit FATslacko too.

2 issues for now

1 mtpaint of FATslacko does not use mtpaint.mo
It is 595k size.
Size of mtpaint from racy5.3 is 603k and working ok. Why different compilations, both are version 3.40.

2 seamonkey
racy has its langpack in /usr/lib/seamonkey-2.6.1/
/usr/lib/seamonkey/ links to /usr/lib/seamonkey-2.6.1/

slacko has just /usr/lib/seamonkey/ (without version)

I cannot put the langpack for seamonkey-2.9 (slacko) into directory /usr/lib/seamonkey of puppy´s langpack because that would destroy the link in racy.

A solution could be:
Make slacko´s seamonkey directory:
/usr/lib/seamonkey-2.9
and /usr/lib/seamonkey link to /usr/lib/seamonkey-2.9
thus the internationalisation stuff of both can coexist in one puppy langpack.
There will always be just one langpack for all of the official puppies.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post but wanted to say thanks for 01micko's post above; I installed the ziggy_patch_ppm-2.pet and that fixed the broken Puppy Package Manager. I was having the same problem broomdodger, page3, and others were having.

Thank you.

I like the email client Sylpheed, and compiled it for racy53.

When trying Sylpheed with Slacko533 it would not start.
I used terminal to start Sylpheed and this is what I found:

Code: Select all

# ./sylpheed
/initrd/mnt/dev_save/downloads/sylpheed-3.2.0beta7/src/.libs/lt-sylpheed: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After recompiling Sylpheed on Slacko533 and it runs great.

It seems that Slacko533 has libssl.so.0.9.8 and not libssl.so.1.0.0 as does racy533.

Using terminal in Slacko533:

Code: Select all

# find/ -iname '*libssl*'
/usr/lib/libssl.so
/usr/lib/libssl.so.0
/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7
/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libssl.pc
/usr/lib/seamonkey/libssl3.so
/usr/lib/libssl.a

Using terminal in racy53:

Code: Select all

# find/ -iname '*libssl*'
/usr/lib/libssl.so
/usr/lib/libssl.so.0
/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7
/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
/usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/libssl3.so
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libssl.pc
/usr/lib/seamonkey-2.6.1/libssl3.so
/usr/lib/libssl.a

I like... Sylpheed

You'd like Claws even more! It's a fork: bigger but worth the extra.

can you help me please?

nilsonmorales

I can not reproduce this error!

I just did an update too. Maybe something went wrong for you?

I need output from this command;

Code: Select all

ls -1 /root/.packages|grep "Packages\-"

After an update it should look like this:

Code: Select all

Packages-puppy-2-official
Packages-puppy-3-official
Packages-puppy-4-official
Packages-puppy-5-official
Packages-puppy-common-official
Packages-puppy-lucid-official
Packages-puppy-noarch-official
Packages-puppy-quirky-official
Packages-puppy-slacko-official
Packages-puppy-squeeze-official
Packages-puppy-wary5-official
Packages-slackware-13.37-official
Packages-slackware-13.37-salix
Packages-slackware-13.37-slacky

Thanks

Note, if you have a frugal install you can restore all Packages-* files from /initrd/pup_ro2/root/.packages/ or if a full install from the CD, just mount the CD, mount the slacko sfs and find /root/.packages/

I have a frugal install of 5.3.3 on a jump drive. I have noticed that pmount probes the drives, but then nothing. From rxvt, I get the following

Hello 01micko

slacko533
slacko533pae
frugal
Dell Inspiron 2200
Pentium-M 600/1600 MHz
CPU0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.60GHz stepping 08
Broadcom BCM4318 wireless driver

No problem with wireless on racy530, wary530, wary514.1

Both slacko533pae and slacko533 have trouble connecting wireless,
most of the time I get a message that no wireless is found.

Sometimes... the first time after a pfix=ram it will connect,
but save the session and restart the wireless fails.

Do you think it could be a timing issue?

This machine has a Pentium-M 600/1600 MHz that changes speed,
which may account for the fact it sometimes (rarely) connects.
