Seems the gtk3-3.22.29 .pet that worked with Firefox/Seamonkey in 19.09 is flaky (some sites won't progress) in 20.01. A later gtk3? Will investigate.

EDIT: Solved - user oversight.

In my Firefox .sfs = gtk+3-3.24.13 = latest from Slackware Current

Hi All,
I've installed Opera-portable by MikeWalsh in ScPup64. I have removed the adrv xxxx.sfs so that Light browser does not load. I have attempted to make opera the default browser using "Default Applications Chooser" and by manually editing /usr/share/applications/defaultbrowser.desktop but neither works. Would somebody be good enough to tell me how this is done.

Regards,

Ken.

I took a very quick glance at it, Mike Walsh may be able to better advise, but it looks like you would need to edit /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser and put in the path to the LAUNCH script in Mike's portable package. This path would depend on where you have put it of course, eg /mnt/home/Opera-portable/LAUNCH

What I would probably do is put a script named opera in /usr/bin which calls this path and then you should be able to just use the command opera from anywhere.

@peebee - thanks for that firefox64 .sfs. Unfortunately, no change. Works in ScPup64-19.09 as a direct adrv substitution, but not in 20.01.
Error message I get (from my bank site) when firefox run via terminal is:

firefox

###!!! [Parent][MessageChannel] Error: (msgtype=0x1A0011,name=PBackgroundStorage::Msg_Observe) Channel error: cannot send/recv

short test in 20.01 with seamonkey 2.49.5

installed via PPM
gtk+3-3.18.9
at-spi2-atk-2.18.1
at-spi2-core-2.18.3

=> seamonkey worked without problems.

Thanks OscarTalks the above worked.

@norgo - tried your solution - sadly, same result. I enter my login/pw & screen bounces back to requesting same again. Several tries, no go. Tried seamonkey & firefox, no change. Is fine with same setup in 19.09. Problem is many sites work, but which?

EDIT: Solved - user oversight.

@peebee @ozsouth

tested peebee's seamonkey.sfs just right now, worked out of the box for me.
( for information, performed all tests in scpup 20.01 - 32 bit version )

update:
firefox.sfs in scpup64 20.01 is working out of the box too
but a lot of decoder errors in the background

I found a second site which bounces me after first step appears to succeed (social security). Noticed both sites redirect to secondary auth. Unfortunately bank & social security are important sites for me. I'm using 64bit. The original ScPup64_20.01's browser (gtk2) works.

See previous post re-bouncing sites.

Seems geolocation checking from bank/govt is their current protocol. If I neglect to set correct Country/City in setup, sites bounce. Wrong timezone is enough to fail. If set, is fine. Lesson - devs put popups there for a very good reason.

Wondering if /etc/NETWORKING (containing YES) is needed. Was in earlier ScPups, but not 20.01+1. I added it & seems to help connection (I think).

Updates to both 32-bit and 64-bit to version 20.01+2

See posts #1 and #2

Also devx updates to match

OscarTalks · #210 Post by **OscarTalks** » Sun 16 Feb 2020, 11:36

ScPup64 20.01+2
GetFlash from Menu gives "not installed" and opens PPM which offers getflash 1.9.1 from noarch repo, but installation aborts even if PPM database is updated.

Updated all 3 frugal installs to HD, straight ScPup 32, ScPupLXQt, and
LxPupSC...no issues with my normal usage. Cannot confirm Oscar's
report of problems with GetFlash...I do not have Flash installed in any
of my Pups, and sometimes wish I didn't have it in my WinXP which is
also on this little netbook. I will attempt to re-create his issues IF it is
desired, by loading maybe LxPupSC (my name for ScPup 32 with the
LXDE desktop by ydrv.sfs), can run it without a savefile if anyone would
want extra confirmation.
My netbook Acer Aspire One AO150, Intel Atom N270, Intel graphics,
1 gig RAM, 120gb HD, Atheros wifi.
Thank you peebee!

I think it was trying to download from ibiblio which hasn't been kept up to date with github (where noarch is now held).

I've updated ibiblio....so problem should "go away"

ydrv's to change ScPup 32 & 64 to the LXQt desktop

Just a quick question. If I use that ydrv do I also get the libraries to do Qt development?

Thanks

No - just enough Qt to run LXQt
