Lucid Puppy 5.2 Official Release JAN 5 2011

[chrismt]

No cached youtube Flash vids in /tmp with 10.2?

Found this work around:
http://n00bsys0p.wordpress.com/2011/02/ ... -in-linux/

Seems to only cache one video at a time so no opening multiple youtube tabs - mine is in /proc/18396/fd

Yes

Can someone please explain the link in simple language?

[nooby]

Ha ha that text was as easy as PanCakes to follow. Just do it as they tell me when I ask people on "Real Linux" forums and they get irritated me fail to grasp their high tech language.

Chris I agree with you that it was not easy at all. How far did you get it. I read and read and vaguely grasped some of it. Did you try the search for flash then that should show in which folder you can look for the file.

Not sure for how long it last there though. And if it happens to all kinds of streaming videos. Are there not many different versions out there?
Hopefully someone that do grasp it show compassion and explain it to us.

Would be cool to be able to save such things

But I guess it is simple

These flash files are now saved in the cache of the respective browsers instead of the .tmp file

I use Google Chrome and i could snatch these files from a folder called .cache in root

[nooby]

Thanks I will install Chrome too then

This may be of interest/or been posted already? - sage-4.6-32bit-Puppy_Linux_Lupu.sfs

Just for a second there I thought someone had ported the famous British Accounting Package (http://www.sage.com) of the same name. I was almost excited.

I run my browser with cache disables (dumped chrome as it was a disk hog)

Way round was to install "lsof" from the ubuntu repository in puppy package manager.

and paste this command in terminal to open the correct directory containing temporary flash files in Rox file manager.

yt=$(lsof | grep -i flash | awk 'NR==2{ print $2 }') && rox /proc/$yt/fd

Still need to pre load videos same as when they were stored in /tmp

I made a remaster which generated all the necessary files and also an .iso which I later burnt to a disc.I then booted the disc only to find it was a standard version of 5.2 that didn't include my new .sfs

After spending many hours and making around 20 remasters I finally found the problem,which had nothing whatsoever to do wth Lucid 52 remastering
It turns out that all the remasters were in fact good and the reason it was loading as a clean install each time was because it was finding and using a 5.2 sfs from my main frugal install,although there was no indication of this occurring.Once hidden it all worked fine.
My sincere apologies if this caused any confusion.

That was certainly my belief, though I haven't tried it...if it isn't, try Sagelive

Just don't get too excited, it's only numbers....

Aitch,

The links you are pointing to, whether the sfs or SageLive, are nothing to do with the Sage accounting package.

They are to do with an implementation of the Sage Project on Puppy. The Sage project brings together a collection of open source software to do mathematics on your computer.

Personally, I find the Sage Project a bit more exciting than a Sage Accounting package - but, as a mathematician, I could be biased.

[Aitch]

OK, thanks
Just shows my lack of knowledge about such stuff....I just spend, and don't account much.....when it's gone, it's gone....

sorry if I unintentionally misled anyone

I have gotten burned by that also, at least several other people too

Just awesome Thanks man!

Coolpup has updated the OpenSSL

http://puppylinux.org/wikka/OpenSSL

@ stu90

Those packages of TOR didn't really work but coolpup versions did work

Finally got TOR working with regular FF browser, using TOR addon with libevent, openssl, polipo, & tor. Needed updated OpenSSL. (Thanks coolpup!) http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Tor
Trick was to edit /etc/polipo/.config so that ProxyPort=8118 (from 8123). Trying to set the proxy within FF to 8123 didn't work.

After viewing an increasing number of sites selling personal info, including browsing history, I decided to get this working

Edit: To run links browser on TOR, go to setup/network options/Proxies and add "localhost:8118" (or whatever the port is). Check "connect only via proxies..."
or from cli, add: -http-proxy localhost:8118 -only-proxies 1

Strange problem: When I open cd or dvd drives on my machine by pressing the button, the tray moves out and immediately back without giving me time to insert or remove a disk!

This is definitely an OS problem since the drives work normally in BIOS setup (before an operating system has been installed). They also work properly with some other puppies I have tested: Wary 070, Lighthouse 5.02.

Wary 500 had the same problem, but this has been corrected in Wary 504.

There was a similar problem in Quirky 005, see:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 9&start=30

The replacement code linked there did not solve the problem in Wary 500. I have not tried it in Lucid 5.2.

I should mention that the "eject" command has the same problem and that I have loaded the instant update pet.

If you like to download the latest or update your flashplayer from Adobe site straight, I stripped the code from Barrys delayedrun and made a pet of it.
Install the pet and then in console:

Code: Select all

#dldflash

The pet is removed. It didnt work fully. but dldflash from console gives you opportunity to update flash. It was posted above.

I have made VLC 1.0.6 Lucid pet smaller. After compiling the *.la files were left inside. I removed them. There are still all the previous files and codecs. The codec support is really good in this VLC compile.

The VLC is now 8 Mb smaller, 28 Mb --> 21 Mb.

@pemasu
1. See this post offering downloadflash-001.pet

2. I installed this program, and ran it just fine, and the updater appeared to function although Flashplayer-10.2.152.27-Lucid52 was already installed, so probably there was no update applied.

3. Clicked the "Save" icon on the desktop to save the changes.
This Lupu-520 is run using a live CD-RW, and using a lupusave on an internal HDD, but...
The isolinux.cfg file in the ISO has been edited as explained here to make the puppy treat the lupusave on the HDD as though it is a lupusave on a Flash Drive.
Also this change and this change, to allow me to choose when/whether to save the changes either DURING a session or at shut-down/reboot.

4. Rebooted.
Changes already saved, so chose to not-save at shut-down/reboot.

5. Once back into Lupu-520-ataflash... [The modified ISO used to make this copy]
usr/bin/dldflash exists.
If I type, in a terminal, dldfla and hit <TAB>, the full name of the command is then completed... [Confirms it is seen]
And if I then hit <Enter>, the command appears to work, except nothing [no extra program window] appears on screen.
Seems the program is no longer working!

[pemasu]

Sylvander. I use puppies very straight as frugal installs in separate folders in my hdd. I dont know if your setup might cause your failure. I can install with the script flashplayer several times as a test.

Cheers.

[Sylvander]

1. "I dont know if your setup might cause your failure"
Perhaps this is so.
I noticed that after I installed downloadflash, the changes I'd made to /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown were GONE!
Does your install put back the original copy [or your modified version] of this file?
What I did then was to delete this copy [not so smart?] and put back a copy of my updated/modified version of the file.
Perhaps what I aught to have done is; yet again modify only the necessary lines of code.

[pemasu]

dldflash script is copied and mildly modified from Barry Kaulers delayedrun script. It certainly does not delete anything from your puppy. You can open the script and see yourself. There is only that flashdownload piece left.

I suppose that problem is totally somewhere else.
