GUI to download LibreOffice - beta quality
Thanks Henry,
Well your save may be taking all the space on the drive but it's not the pupmode 6 (7 was wrong) I thought it was.
Looks like your RAM is full, so I need to improve the RAM test, but if your partition is full there may be another problem. Anyway, I can see why the older versions of get_libre work for you, they don't build in RAM.
Q. Do you have swap?
I'll post a fix soon.
Cheers

Memory Bug
version 25 and many earlier ones report a low memory condition on my desktop system which has 16 gigs of memory.
Recognizing an impossible statement when I see one, I tested version 25 on my laptop which has a paltry 4 gigs of memory. It works!
So, my non-technical, I am a simple end user observation is that the memory reporting/detection/error trapping is not functioning correctly.

Just looked at the computer again, and it's all stuffed up, can't do much of anything. So I restored the backup system.01micko wrote:Thanks Henry,

To clarify: My pupsave does not take up all the space on the drive, at least normally. It is set for 630M of which 376M is nearly always available. (I put nearly all the variable data, cache, etc. into /mnt/home.) No swap file.
It looks like the downloaded LO debs ended up in /tmp (ram) instead of /mnt/home as a usual sfs. (They are now copied to another HD and I guess could be undebed.)
However, I'm just a user and it's unimportant whether I use 3.6 or 4.0. But it is interesting - thanks for all the creative and generous things you do.
There's a hole in my program dear Henry!
I fixed it with straw... [ .. I'm terrible with humour!]
I rewrote the RAM check function and it should build in /mnt/home if your RAM is getting a bit full. All my machines have swap so it builds in RAM for me anyway and if RAM fills up swap comes into play.
Anyway, it *should* work, Thom, I'd be interested in your results too.
Here's my log, while it won't show much in the way of error messages it will help me pinpoint where there is a breakdown and give me useful info about your system for debugging. It's located at /tmp/LO_log_"today's date"

Download complete. System working normally, seems unaffected except for the large files in /tmp, totalling about 524M instead of the usual 76M.
A popup says: "Sorry, constructing LibreOffice-4.0.0_en-US_xz.sfs has failed"
libre_download (523.9M debs) is also in /tmp
Is the xz compression perhaps giving a problem?

Is the xz compression perhaps giving a problem?
Henry
Thanks for the log Henry
Now, looks like everything is fine except the unpacking of the debs, which leads me to believe it might be a NOP specific problem. Have you ever had any problem installing a deb? The LO script uses the same code to unpack the debs as PPM uses to install them.
EDIT:
I just successfully built in NOP. So that dismisses a NOP bug. I don't *think* xz compression will make a difference to you, you have plenty of RAM. (You may want to get it tested) . I think I'm allowing plenty of room for the construction which is at 900M, IIRC it unpacks to ~500M plus the size of the debs ~160M (gz) then the sfs ~130M (xz) ~160M(gz) for a max of around 700M. I'll bump it to 1GB anyway and may offer a checkbox to build in /mnt/home (essentially having the checkbox checked will force "no" for the RAM test).
I'm on it.

Nah, NOP is fine.. I'll put in the checkbox to opt out of RAM building, because v0.17 was successful for you. You can blame Thom, he forced me into doing the RAM build! .Henry wrote:Thanks for working with me on this. I think it's time to take a breather while I review about unpacking debs. Many years ago I recall doing that to download OpenOffice, but my memory is not what it used to be.
Could you suggest a simple test to check PreciseNop for this?
Translators take note, there will be extra lines for the pot file... not many though.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Henry, I changed my mind and made it a Yes/no box. It's pretty simple to understand. Choose "No" and it will build on the hard drive like the old versions, the log reflects that too.
Hope it works! (works for me in NOP-543)

LibreOffice 4
Please provide cut down version of Libreoffice - only Writer preferably SFS file.

testing - file name changes?
When I choose 'Testing' in the script, the file name comes up correctly, but the dialog box tries to download a different file name and closes. Perhaps they changed file names since you last updated?

Re: LibreOffice 4
Downloaded 28 today on FULL installation of Pup. Chose the 4.x LO installation...
The SFS looks like it's built properly but ... what to do with it once it's mounted? I get no installation dialog and there's no scripts which I can find to initiate install (sfs_installation ???)
Maybe I'm misunderstanding how LO runs under Pup... I'm expecting to see new icons in some of the MENU items and a link to LOWriter, LODatabase etc... ? My assumption is that everything downloads, the SFS builds and the installation copies everything from the SFS to appropriate directories and creates launch icons for the applications within LO... no?
TIA...

Here are some instructions for a FULL install. [->]
I do not know if the instructions are correct, as I use Frugal installs of Puppy.

shino.pos.to/linux/puppy -> 1.9.7 SFS Loader and you get the install screen... creates all the menu entries.
Also, on Pup 5.3, you have no Setup-> Setup Puppy menu in the base installation -> Full Install. With the SFS Loader installed I get that submenu and about 10 entries on the menu too... ?
Wondering if the Build 28 of Libre Office 4.0 doesn't include the sfs_installation executable? I cannot find it on my system after two downloads and successful mount of LO ... ? (used the RAM build option if that helps anyone trblshoot).
Again, Pup 5.3 has no sfs utils installed in a FULL install (at least none that I can find) other than the ability to Mount SFS files successfully... let me know if I missed something. i guess old pups know this, young pups don't.

LibreOffice 4 won't start
I tried out Get_libre .28 yesterday and it appeared to work but I can't start any part of Libre. For example, I try to start Writer and I get nothing but a little clicking from my harddrive. Ideas?
