That was easy, just downloaded the tar.gz from the Opera site and extracted it and I have Opera 11.Haven't installed yet, just running from "my documents" where I extracted it.

That's a bit ridiculous eh James.. 400+ MB for opera.. 500+ MB for Amarok.. it can't be right...

Looks like I'll have to figure out that one.... :lol:

Oh, the lucid puppy opera works, I tried it, so too SitHealSpeak's version of 11, some where in the forum.. (I'm not game to link :lol: )
Lucid's Iron works too, just need gconf and orbit2

Those dreaded dependencies I guess....... :)

The tar.gz I downloaded was only 13 MB and everything extracted is still only 33 MB. I know it works cause I'm posting with it now. :lol:

Couldn't run Google Earth (googleearth-bin). Is GOOGLEEARTH_DATA_PATH set?
I don't know google-earth, but it indicates that it can't find the path to the important files.
This can be due to the install/sfs where it fails to specify.

As I am interested in google-earth, it would be nice if you could retrace where you got the product from.
Wish I could help but I'm unable to remember.

Hope the weather is better in Lanzarote than here?

Ok, then try the Lucid pet , you can make it an sfs the same as Béèm said earlier, it works fine.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... -Lucid.pet

Alternatively, you can try and set the $PATH of the google libs.. they are not in the standard LS_LIBRARY_PATH.. hmmm.. I guess that sounds confusing.. but I don't know the structure of this particular sfs or where you got it from. If you can give a link I can fix it for you to save a massive download.

From a terminal, but as I said I don't know this sfs structure, so may not work:

Code: Select all

# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/googleearth:"${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
# export LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
# cd /usr/lib/googleearth
# exec /usr/lib/googleearth/googleearth-bin "$@"
I really need that particular sfs though to fix your issue. I have the lupu pet working here with just that libaudio added.
:
Hi 01micko
Thanks for the link.I tried the .pet and now see this.
.
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Google Earth has caught signal 11.


We apologize for the inconvenience, but Google Earth has crashed.
This is a bug in the program, and should never happen under normal
circumstances. A bug report and debugging data have been written
to this text file:


/root/.googleearth/crashlogs/crashlog-4d0f1d0a.txt

Please include this file if you submit a bug report will to Google.

Brown Mouse, you need the mesa package, it is the PPM :wink:

It is also in the video upgrade drivers from the Setup icon

Hi all

I have nearly finished my ram only slack pup, have managed to set up my settings inside the sfs via config files, reduced the sfs size down to 92mb by pruning the unneeded kernel modules without having to touch any programs. getting a clean quick shutdown (without a save option by editing rcshutdown.)

The only thing I cant manage is to keep the volume, parcelite and internet icons when I disable the 1st run wizzard (lines 95 - 117 of the /usr/sbin/delayedrun file) it works great with the full file disabled but I loose the three tray icons that I want to keep

anybody have any ideas? (considering simple terminal commands are technical for me :P )

Cheers

Shift the relevant stuff pertaining to /root/Startup from /usr/sbin/delayedrun to /root/.xinitrc. When you check out /root/.xinitrc you'll see where /usr/sbin/delayedrun is called. replace that with the call to the /root/Startup dir (it's near the end of delayedrun :wink: ) and I believe you will have what you want.

Code: Select all

#v2.17 suggested by andrei...
if [ -d /root/Startup ];then
 for a in /root/Startup/*
 do
  [ -x "$a" ] && $a &
  sleep 0.2
 done
fi
Cheers :)

Is there any solution you know of for your issue? I wonder if it's something in the shutdown script? I see it happens in LHP too..
...and Lupu. Not aware of a fix.

qt-4.6.2

#210 Post by cinclus_cinclus »

After installation of qt-4.6.2

/etc/profile.d/qt4.csh

has to be deleted. Spup doesn't understand csh-scripts. Instead let /etc/profile.d/qt4.sh do the work.

Don't feel bad as tray volume controls they've never worked on my main 2 pc's with puppy, Only the actual volume apps like gnome-mplayer, gxine have worked. Only once has it worked, and that's when I recompiled alsa with Jack audio, it actually worked. Too bad I never used the pet, lol
Basically what my slider does is, well in puppy 3,5 series either the volume is at the max level or muted one extreme or the other, nothing else, the slider would automatically slide to the top by itself. on puppy 4, as soon as I hovered my mouse over it, it would just do a disappearing act, lol poof it was gone.
So I just basically rely on the actual apps for sound control.

Same things for me.
Neither Aumix nor sGmixer have not worked with AbsVolume. When I put the volume cursor on the middle it jumped to 100. Unable to adjust sound.
So I removed the setting tray-icon and only use player slider (gnome-mplayer)
Thanks.

Hi 01micko

Thought you might be interested in my report of a successful lupu515/spup052 hybrid described here:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 370#479370

works great on my Thinkpad 600E with just 196MB ram.

The reason why: spup052 does not work with the Thinkpad video xorg driver, lupu515 does not work with the Netgear pcmcia wifi, but the hybrid system supports both.

Cheers
Peter
