[Sit Heel Speak]

As for transmission, before I can diagnose that I must ask, have you a preferred route for getting python into it? --in other words, which python .pet's are you loading?

[hondasid]

Ok, so i just saw all your replies Sit Heel Speak. I will be dl'ing and trying that asap. I believe that you have found a fix for this and I want to say thank you in advance.
As far as python, i haven't added any. Transmission usually works without anything. I opened it up in console and it didn't spit out any errors, just sat there. I had no clue where to go from there. I'm still kinda sorting out a plan of action on this one. Any help is appreciated.
nooby, glad to hear it. i have a pupngo frugal installed as a test bed for a new Pentium Pro and MMX Puppy build. It is way minimal, more so than I'm really looking for, so IDK if I'll be using it. I do have to say, i am impressed with it. I never thought i would see a desktop Puppy using only 18 MB RAM and less than 2% CPU on my 1.4 Ghz. I am going to keep it around for something. I have a ton of Pro's and MMX's sitting here.
And I get bored a lot....

Thanks Hondasid.

Can one borrow the Atheros Ethernet card drivers from Fluppy or Barebone or 511 or whatever and somehow add it to pUpnGo?
That way I would get it to go out on the internet.

The gtk builds of transmission depend on a library file, libxcb-xlib.so.0 which is a part of libxcb. Or at least, it used to be part of it. Evidently, it has been dropped from new builds of libxcb --see

I took the advice of this latter thread and downloaded libxcb-xlib from Ubuntu Hardy, attached. With this file installed, Michalis's transmission 2.20 .pet works. I also installed Michalis's recommended intltool-0.40.6-i486.pet, libevent-2.0.10-stable-i486.pet, and libevent_DEV-2.0.10-stable-i486.pet, but I don't know whether these were necessary or not.

This may not be the smartest question or place to put it but I can't figure out how to delete the banner that keeps popping up on top every time I boot up, im using a live-cd so im sure that it's set to run on first boot unless im wrong however when using pfind to search for keyword welcome or banner I can't seem to find it and theres no indication of it in the startup folder.

[hondasid]

Yeah, that is something built into puppy. It only shows up in live-boot with no save file. I believe it is an html file and there is no html viewer in barebones, so it probably wont show up. i believe the file itself is located somewhere in root.

[hondasid]

Nooby, I'm sure that those modules can be added into pupngo, but I would try and find one from the 4 series. U should be able to copy them over and then either modprobe or reboot and see if they are automatically added in.

Hmm I believe I'm talking about a different file, its a pink banner that shows up at the top of the screen that says "welcom, please click here for getting-started information" I can't first the file for it anywhere and it doesn't show up in 520 so I'm kinda lost on how to get rid of it.

Cheers again hondasid,

I finally got around to constructing a small puplet using your 501 base on the weekend. The basic applications I wanted worked well (although I have a running issue within Firefox for selecting applications like ROX to open the containing folder for downloads - can't seem to solve the problem on the forum). One app I did have some grief with was unfortunately radky's PupControl 1.3. It didn't register PPM well at all, and although you could 'fake' it into refreshing the correct repository sub-categories by selecting different file types to filter - it failed to show packages already installed for possible removal. A gtk issue, perhaps? Everything else I tried, I was really happy with the results. (And with a frugal install I couldn't replicate DPUP5520's finding.)

Thanks!

[DPUP5520]

@Puppyt
You couldn't replicate it because it only shows up on the live cd, pemasu was right it was the Delayedrun script that was causing the problem for me all I had to do was comment out the lines that ran the banner and it no longer showed up when I booted up the cd.

[hondasid]

Ok, I've had some connectivity and work issues that haven't allowed me any free time lately. I did try the deps sfs to fix the Opera problem. They were already added in from a previous fix and did not work. The transmission fix works. As far as packages not showing up in PPM, I don't have a clue. I don't believe I removed anything having to do with PPM and I haven't had this problem. I will get the package you spoke of and try to replicate the problem. I'm still working on my other Barebones builds but progress is slow. I have just started a new business and it takes a lot of my time, but Puppy is always a priority for me. I will have results posted soon.

[DPUP5520]

BTW Hondasid Im lovin workin with this barebones that you made, definitely makes things easier when trying to make your own derivative, I managed to make the base os about 6MB smaller than you had it by taking out all the printer/sound files since I don't need them for the pup that i've been workin on but def keep up the great work.

[claude]

How may I download Barebones Lucid 5.01 ?

I tried the link from FileDropper but no results.

Thank you.
