(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I forgot to mention earlier that if you click on the logo on the start-page, it will take you straight to the murga forum.

Eyes-Only; it's good to here that you find it to be useful.

Jasper,
I didn't actually look at the dillorc file until after reading your post, so thanks for the info. You made some good changes, so I implemented some of them to the previous dillo-2.20-custom pet (I kept the name the same). Also the home button now goes back to the start page instead of to dillo.org.

I tried aragon's latest compile for dillo-3.0.2-1.
So far it hasn't given me any problems, so I modified it in almost the same way as version 2.20-custom. Acutally, I think it's a little bit better, so feel free to get it -> here if you like.
It has an additional feature to close tabs when you right-click over them. ( Press CTRL-t to open a new tab or middle mouse-click over a link to open it in a new tab ).
Thanks to aragon for compiling dillo. I use it often for browsing through the Murga forum.

Hi aragon and Tman,

Thank you both. I have opted for the latest version.

I expect Lobster is aware of this and I hope he likes it.

My regards

I spoke to soon. I'm getting errors when trying to download pets through the forum with version 3.0.2-1. It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens often. I don't know if I messed it up, or it was that way to begin with, but I am removing dillo-3.0.2-1-custom.pet for now. I will reupload it if I manage to fix the issue.

I see listed in the repos:

- "puppy-slacko": Dillo 3.0
- "slackware-13.37-slacky": Dillo 2.2

How do these compare?

Current version of Dillo is 3.0.2

- direct download

compiled with ssl and ipv6....

I've been trying to figure out how to get Dillo to work with ssl and I found this version. I have downloaded it, but do not know how to install it.

When I click on File it takes me to ~ which has the little icon that reads "dillo-3.0-i486-lucid". I then left-click on the icon and get a little box that reads "Would you like to: Create a new archive, or Add to an existing archive?"

I have no clue how to proceed. I have installed and am using Dillo-3.0.1-lucid528.pet. It works ok but does not have the ssl enabled (which is my goal), so thought I would try the one I just found.

The downloads that have the suffix .pet are simple to install.

I am running Lucid 528.005.
Thanks,
Joe

Maybe a corrupted download. I tried the link, and it downloaded the pet.

Ok, I deleted the download and downloaded it again. It calls it dillo-3.0-i486-lucid.gz.

When I left-click on it, a box comes up that reads Do you want to decompress /root/dillo-3.0-i486-lucid.gz? (it will decompress in current location and the original file will be deleted) Yes/No.

Pressing "Yes" causes it to change into dillo-3.0-i486-lucid (without any suffix at all) and I am back to the same situation mentioned in my previous post.

I then tried clicking on it and creating a new archive, even though I have no clue what that does. I did succeed in creating a new file in root called somename.tar.gz. I'm pretty sure that accomplished nothing useful, I hope it is not detrimental.

At any rate, it refuses to download as a .pet. I have downloaded and installed several other .pets and they went flawlessly, but they did download showing the .pet suffix.
Not sure what to do at this point.
Joe

I just went back to the download link and it shows that it is named dillo-3.0-i486-lucid.gz. It does NOT show the .pet suffix.
What am I doing wrong?

Very strange..I'm using your posted "direct download" link..it downloads dillo-3.0-i486-lucid.pet. I wonder if the name isn't getting changed by your downloader. Maybe try manually changing the name. It has to be the same file.

Hi.

How is this?

That file does indeed have a .gz suffix when I try it.
If you rename it to .pet, it will install.

What are you downloading it with? From dillo, it's "d88e1b9d1b162e20f4cd9ba5fa7bc6f6"

Opera-next on Wary 5,3.
The pet itself is no use to me, just curious that's all...

Ahh, see what you mean - same here. Clicking on it though, brings up the save dialogue, and the file is a .gz.

Interesting, since a pet is .gz file. I don't know why it doesn't keep the original name, though.

I don't think such a mod will ever com into existence. But you can simply do this:

1) In Dillo, from the webpage that won't display properly, hightlight the contents of Dillo's address bar and hit "Ctrl+c" to copy.
2) Open up a full-powered browser, hightlight the address bar, and hit "Ctrl+v" to paste. Hit "Enter" and boom! Done.

Actually, that isn't an unreasonable feature request. I'll try to look into it... Maybe add it to netsurf too (they are adding javascript support too)

I fully agree with Clive - what a useful feature that would be, and especially as a right-click feature upon the page for the "defaultbrowser script" which we normally use in Puppy.

Great idea Clive! I just wished like others around here that I could do more advanced programming as it's something I'd love making. Maybe Tech could achieve this as he's wonderful with these sort of patches.

I also use Dillo quite frequently ( I believe I've said this above somewhere? ), most often right here on the forum, but also on other pages mainly for quickly getting the news/info that I want and then getting out. Space.com mainly comes to mind as they use more assorted flash and java ads than I can easily block and Dillo presents me just the text and photos I want and none of those ads. Yet occasionally I do need to use SeaMonkey to view something in finer detail. Calling it forth from a patch would be so very helpful!

Again: Great idea Clive!
