(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I finally got around to trying to download and install Instant Update 004, but the link to it on the first page of this thread took me to Instant Update 002! Am I the first to try the IU link? Or did everybody else forget to procrastinate, just immediately use the link in the body of the thread somewhere around page 50? I'll look for it and try it.

Edit: I did not find a link to IU004 anywhere, only to 528.004.iso. Not in this thread, not on ibiblio or nluug. Only the broken link on the first page. Please help!

But reading more in the same thread it appears that libgconf2-4_3.1.6 pet solved the problem and Chrome/Iron started working.

Good. That's it. The recent pets assume that the libgconf from Instant Update 002 is installed. (I didn't know that could result in illegal instruction though.)

I've always heard that the memory is the first thing to go.....

What were we talking about?

Maybe my memory isn't totally gone yet.

Lucid 528.004 live pfix=ram on the Athlon XP box.Installed Chromium 16 from Quickpet.A hint, I'm posting this from SeaMonkey.

After Chromium wouldn't run I installed libgconf and no change.

Uninstalled Chromium and libconf....installed latest Iron 15 pet.

Testing is fun.....

I installed Iron a little earlier on, it seems to not like Facebook and my bank, certificate issues, are you getting any problems with it?

I like the speed that it runs at, but it looks like I'll be back with Firefox at lest to do my banking.

Good Morning and Merry Christmastide to you, too!
Oh no, I haven't overlooked anything. Offshore you have the bones of salvation on a tiny island in the Caribbean. Yes, that's the one - the one which achieves ~99% literacy and had the best medical services in the world. The same one that Mr Sam has bullied mercilessly for decades. With a bit of tweaking it could become paradise. Mindless increases in consumption of goods and services is killing our planet.
It's about time even Keynesians & his adversaries got to grips with the fact that the true costs of equality of education and compassionate health care for all only permits salaries ~$10/month - there's no more left over. With true equality and highest quality of educational standards in pondsville, they'd be able to read the ancient philosophers, who, to a man (possibly also woman), agree that redistribution of wealth (and resources) is the most important task confronting H.sapiens. I would go further and say it is the only hope for civilisation. Samsland is new, though and has a very long way to go. Our own three millennial history may well not be a suitable model. Perhaps Oz will turn out better...

Just orf to run pd's alt-iso and to engage in some mindless capitalist excesses and some religious-inspired bigotry. Blwyddyn Newydd Dda!

I see. I thought the illegal instruction might mean something other than libgconf. What it might mean is that Iron and Chrome 16, when they are released, might also not run on P3 and Athlon XP. I do have a P3 to test on, but I am going out of town for a few days.

Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night.

FYI - The Seamonkey-2.6 from Saluki also works in Luci-001 (3HD) and Lucid 528

Confirmed, at the moment of writing this post the instant update 004 link in the first page leads to a file named instant unpdate 002 which size is about 4MB. Maybe it's actually IU004 but forgot to rename it?

Cold War/Russian, East German support played a big role in creating this educational/medical advantage.

Given the racist, homophobic, and authoritarian tendencies still prevalent in this society, one has to question the depth of the educational foundation.

...the true costs of equality of education and compassionate health care for all only permits salaries ~$10/month - there's no more left over.

"Left over" from what? Without ownership of property, or freedom of speech or choice, the calculation is meaningless. You can't eat money...

Do they really? It seems to me that the concept of "wealth" is a corollary of its concentration. So to "redistribute" it is an oxymoron. It only makes sense within a "wealthy" minority group that has appropriated the resources of the majority. Global "redistribution of wealth" is hard for me to imagine. Mao's backyard smithy disaster and the Red Guards fiasco come to mind.

Big government has amply proven its inability to manage national economies and even technologies, from the banking system to nuclear power. Does any thinking person still believe that marching morons in red neck scarves are going to save the world for or from humanity?

The most important task facing humanity in my view is to learn to recognize deliberate misinformation and its practitioners. Otherwise, civilization may not survive much longer.

Hi Flash, Sage, otropogo and whom it may concern,

This thread is entitled Lucid Puppy 5.2.8

The deletion of extensive and extraneous thread-clogging clutter seems due!

My regards

@Playdayz, Nice. Check your PM

Found this reference to Firefox 9 issue.
Seems Firefox 9 update has same issue Firefox 8 had.
Firefox 9 -- next version, same game as FF 8.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=74623

So is there an instant update 004 that could be applied to full install the way described: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 5&start=97 (bigpup)?

Do I still need to add the libgconf2-4_3.1.6.pet that playdayz talks about here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... &start=111

do these "chromium-type" web browsers:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... &start=652
work then?

Even with athlon XP (1900+ or 2100+)?

Is the update 4 recommended?

How can I find if I already have some update?
(Installed Lupu 5.2.8 full install about a month ago.)

illegal instruction usually means that your processor is not fully i686 compatible. Both iron and chromium use the full i686 instruction set.
I'm not sure if early athlon XP were i686 or not but "cat /proc/cpuinfo" will tell you the processor you have and google search if it is i686 or not.
"uname -p" will tell you how the kernel sees your processor. If not i686 iron/chromium will not run. Try the original google-chrome that is i386

otropogo chalk one up by deleting your post. Margaret T was the mother of the big bang of banking in GB in the 80's while holding hands with the west lead to a financial crisis everywhere except the far east. Profiting far east countries are quite happy to be laughing their way to the banks now.

as long as individuals fail to take responsibility and don't sign on the dotted line for credit they cannot afford and blame government they will repeat the same mistakes.

Sorry, but it's hard to find something specific in a 62-page thread. Even the search is not very helpful.

I think someone somewhere hinted that there might be a i586 compilation. I wonder if it worked.

Anyway, I looks like with or without the libgconf2 I'm not going to have working chrome or iron? At least not a newer version?
And the instant updates are not for me?
