How to get Konqueror to recognise HTTPS

#46 Post by SamSung »

By default Konqueror in KDE Puppy will not browse secure sites HTTPS (so you cannot log into ebay etc) for that to happen install the Blackdown Java dot pup http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Libraries/Sma ... ckdown.pup
this is about 11M.
After install it seems to work without any further configuration which the Konqueror homepage suggests http://www.konqueror.org/javahowto/.

I have tested it on two secure sites successfully.

I am also new to Puppy and Linux so if there is an easier lighter way of achieving this then please let me know. If some one else would test and this proves successful I will post something in the wiki, is that the right place.

Cheers Sam

Thanks Mark that showed that a file was missing (dotpupdownloader), one that I had downloaded before, anyhow re installed it and it works.

To be sure I reinstalled the pupXXX file on another Puppy kde PC and went thru the process of installing all the updates mentioned in this link and the dotpup downloader works fine on that install as well.

Any chance you could give you opinion on the Konqueror HTTPS post above, as you are experienced with all things puppy and linux I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Sam

I have no idea.
I can go to https-sites without installing Java.
Also the small-java dotpup just has a "jre"-folder, but no other libs.
So I wonder, what it might have to do with https.

I'm really confused about that :wink:

Maybe you rebooted your computer after installing Java, and so Konqueror just became aware of the new ssl-libs as it was restarted?

Kenny,
I just stumbled across your post of March 5. Don't get discouraged by lack of feedback. Maybe quite a few people are - like me - just using it and not complaining. Looks great and is way faster than KDE from the big dog distros. Have also tried KDE via the underdog technique of Puppy2, and it is much slower. More power to your elbow.
If it encouragement you need - you've got it.

KDE Puppy with the latest Open Office and Firefox

#51 Post by Fox7777 »

The reason we were requesting a KDE Puppy with the latest Open Office and Firefox is because these features are demanded from people we are trying to get started on Linux. Having these features would make our job of starting people on Puppy Linux much easier. A few months ago Chubby Puppy with Open Office was very popular but it has long been discontinued. Such a KDE Puppy with the latest Open Office and Firefox would still be under 200 MB and run very fast on most older computers that people currently have. We are also reviewing Puppy 2.0, Simple Puppy, etc. and are confident that a winner in the marketplace will be created soon.

KDE puppy on the 2.0 codebase?

#52 Post by R3MF »

great idea,

Puppy Linux is a magnificent OS but I am a KDE fan, so well done.

How does the current version of KDE Puppy compare to Standard Puppy 1.0x performance wise?

Are there any plans to make a new KDE Puppy based on the Puppy 2.0 codebase?

If there were, would you consider using part of the Koffice package? For example: Krita, KWord, KSpread and KPresenter. They all have 1.5.1. versions and can be considered essential productivity tools.

Would you also consider using some of the best of breed KDE apps? For example: Kontact, K3B, KTorrent, Digikam and Amarok 1.4. These are applications that i cannot do without as they are needed daily and have no comparable alternatives.

Would a KDE Puppy using the applications I have outlined still be worthy of the Puppy brand, or would it be so bloated and slow (by comparison) that it would just be another KDE distro of no particular note? How big would it be?

Many thanks

R3MF

KDE runs faster in Puppy than on other distros.
It is the fastest KDE I've seen yet.

I don't plan a full KDE-Puppy, instead I use the great feature of extensions (.sfs).
This makes updates easier and has other advantages.

You could remaster a Puppy with mounted extension to get a full Iso, but I did not try it yet.

Koffice 1.5.0.
It is an addon, so you can use it with older and newer versions of Puppy2.
I use it currently with the Alpha from may, 7th.

actually

#56 Post by klhrevolutionist »

I was actually thinking about re-making the kde-puppy as well as making an
xfce-puppy. But I am trying to figure out this xdg menu thing first. Once that is taken care of putting the iso together is a piece of cake.

I was also thinking of waiting till puppy comes out. Of course for those not wishing to use the 2.6 kernel I can always use puppy109CE as a base.
It really depends if anybody replies to this post and has a favor of one over the other. I personally would rather use the 2.4 kernel, but I have faith in BK that he will make hardware work just as good as it is in the 2.4.
Heaven is on the way, until then let's get the truth out!

Hi klhrevolutionist

I would love to see an updated Puppy KDE, I use your current one on our two PC's and love it because as MU says it is fast. For me the way to go would be to get the underlying puppy working 100% ie the install to HDD. Remove anything that is duplicated ie exists in Puppy and then KDE has a similar program, remove the Puppy version and leave the KDE program, here I am only talking about the duplicates that exist in the current version such as having Kate and then Puppy versions of other simple text editors. The other thing would then be get the KDE version of the samba client working and remove Linneighbourhood.

For me I am not bothered about adding any other apps than you put in the last one ( your reasoning for keeping Abiword etc is sound and works for me) I have been able to add the KDE apps I have needed myself by trial and error but it has taught me a lot.

So to conclude, klhrevolutionist, if you are up for it then great. I would also be willing to offer whatever help I can.

I am having some difficulties with Puppy and KDE installing to HDD

see my post here http://forum.puppylinux.net/viewtopic.php?t=74 whilst I am looking into that a question for the more talented than myself.

I want Puppy and KDE installed on HDD, not a poor mans install either what is the best way of achieving these, could I use a mega puppy or something else. I only want KDE fully working, the apps I can add later.

Any ideas, has anyone else got Puppy and KDE installed to a HDD without then experiencing probs.

As always thanks

Sam

EDIT some hours later

Ok the opt folder and the symlink to usr was missing I have replaced this but not a lot has changed I have found many of the scripts in /usr/sbin so have been able to set up the video and networking.

I cannot get the menu editor to work though in that I cannot find it or do not know the name of the file to call from the commandline. I can call Konqueror from the commandline and it works.

Anyone any ideas on the easiest way to get Puppy and KDE working as I am pulling my hair our. It may look good thanks to KDE but the implementation is poor.

Cheers

I have also noticed that there are libs missing for some apps.

Help

#64 Post by chubbypuppy »

Hi I really liked the Chubby Puppy distro, is their anyway that you could make another, on the latest puppy 2.02??? also i would love to see a web designers puppy distro, with open office and nvu, plus graphics and text editors, if thats possible and maybe call it Designer Puppy, or maybe a Yuppy Puppy? maybe a Business edition? But the web design is my first choice, I just like the sound of Yuppy Puppy,:) Also A vista Gui, with a puppy start would be cool, i like the black style start menu with white background and black taskbar, plus the glowing page close, reduce, min. when you hover over them, I know its a long list but i checked it twice and Christmas is comming soon and thats all i want, Lol keep up the great work @@@@@ 5 stars linux distro, Puppy rules and microsoft users are fools.
