(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

hello
sorry about a repost - not sure if earlier one went through.

can someone please tell me how to get amule on puppy linux 5.2 ?
thanks.

this works on my lucid520..

http://portablelinuxapps.org/

worth a try

thanks. i've downloaded it. now how do i make it run? it seems to be opening it up as a text file.... sorry i'm a beginner to linux.

i'm still a beginner aswell...... but try this

rename it to aMule
open the folder with it in, right click anywhere in the window and from the menu select 'window' then 'terminal here' . then type this into the terminal and press return. Then try clicking on your file again, see if it works.

Hi,

I had already sent you a PM. If it works then put it here (in your own words perhaps).

My regards

actually my first post was wrong!!! just right click on the file , select .'permissions', and select 'make executable'

sorry

thanks! it works.

hello it doesn't seem to work with e2dk links now.... do i need to do any changes? thanks.

What worked the first time?

@superstar: You mean eD2K links from your browser? You have to set the 'application type' on it.
You mean the servers of the list?

Hi superstar....

i've since found out that the portable version doesn't support direct links from your browser. However i made a pet of the portable version for lupu520 which does, it can be downloaded here.

After installing you will need to configure your browser, information on how to do that can be found here http://wiki.amule.org/index.php/Ed2k_links_handling

When configured, clicking on a link in your browse doesn't automatically open amule, however when you next open amule the links will be there. If you click a link when amule is open, it appears in amule imediately.

thanks for your replies.

1st - last time it seemed to work with a website. now it doesn't seem to work with a different website.

2nd - yes i did make changes in browser to recognize the ed2k files.

3rd - thanks for the pet. i'm going to try it out and post back how it goes.
is there any changes i need to do so that it doesn't run as a root application? i use to get this warning. i just didn't know how to fix it.


thanks!

and is there a specific directory i need to store this pet in? thanks.

superstar.... just click on the pet and it will install automatically

thanks i installed it but now chrome browser is giving me problems.
it associates xdg-open with the ed2k link...

anything i can do to fix this? thanks

ok. i now have amule setup.

But Chrome doesn't seem to recognize ed2k files. could someone please tell me how i can get it to work with the ed2k files. thanks.

sorry superstar, i had a look for a solution for chrome to handle the links, but couldn't find a way, seems every other browser can but chrome is problematic. you can still copy the link and paste it into amule, ..bit annoying i know. or use a different browser.

thanks 666philb
i tried firefox as well. somehow when i click on the link it doesn't open the link in amule. i'm doing the copy/paste approach for now.

firefox works with the links but you have to do this.......

Type about:config into the address bar and press return (don't worry about the warning)

Right click anywhere on the list, select 'New', then 'Boolean'; insert as Preference Name and 'true' as Value

Now another right click, select 'New' and 'String'; insert as Preference Name and /usr/bin/ed2k as Value.


For firefox 3 and above there's One more Right click on the list, select 'New', then 'Boolean'; insert as Preference Name and 'false' as Value

After that, click over an ed2k link, and Firefox should ask which app you want to use to open the link. Choose /usr/bin/ed2k and it should work.

hello i tried this, but it still doesn't work. any ideas why? thanks.
