majorfoo, As an aside, did you note that 01micko has compiled the new Openoffice 3.4 for both Lucid and Slacko: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=78709 Haven't tried the new Ooo yet, but it's good to know that the project has escaped from Oracle, and that Apache is moving forward with new code. _________________ "If you come to a fork in the road, take it." - Yogi Berra |

The best thing I think I is to get 01micko's get_libreoffice 0.15 so you can continue to update yourself. It will not work with Lupu/Plus Libre however, since Libreoffice is already installed. Here is the thread -> http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=65918 Here is the 3.5.4 sfs -> http://diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/LibreOffice-3.5.4_en-US.sfs

A couple of days ago I opened Seamonkey in lupuplus_libre and instead of seeing the blank page specified in my preferences setting, saw displayed a page of the Seamonkey website showing the features of SM 2.1. (I should add that this has happened to me before, under Lupu5.2.8_x). I downloaded the 3.6?MB file to my hard drive, but did nothing else with it, not even extraction, as I wanted to study the features and perhaps read some reviews before deciding to upgrade. However, all this caution proved to be futile. Soon I started experiencing annoying changes in the browser display, some extremely annoying, such as the irretrievable loss of the tool bar and navigation bar on some pages. In one case I lost all control of the system, including the use of CTL-ALT-DEL to shut down, and had to do a hard power down. And the changes survived the reboot! Eventually, by trial and error,clicking on various parts of the screen, I discovered I could summon a menu to regain some control and recovered the navigation bar and the tool bar. At that point I clicked on the help tab and discovered that Seamonkey 2.1 was running. Evidently, it had installed itself over the previous version without waiting for any input from me... Thus my wonderment at Seamonkey upgrade pets for Lucid. Am I the only user of Lupu5.2.8-x (because the same thing has happened to me with it) or lupuplus_libre to experience this automatic upgrade of Seamonkey? _________________ otropogo@gmail.com facebook.com/otropogo |

The pets I post contain the latest version of the full Seamonkey. One could uninstall any previous version and then install the new pet. Anyway, I think the safest is to use the Lucid pets. If you got a 3.6MB update from Lucid that would have been a bad download. And I just checked--the Seamonkey update from 2.9 to 2.10 is 21MB, so I am thinking any 3.6MB update would have been a bad download--and so far the SM update looks OK. |

You're right about the size. I've just checked the archived SM2.1 file I downloaded, and it's 22MB. I would certainly have used your pet, had I known about it. Unfortunately, I've been preoccupied lately, and once you've failed to log onto the forums for a few consecutive days, the notices of new posts stop coming to remind you... One concern I have about these automatic upgrades is that in the past, I've lost all my passwords and had to reconstitute them. More rarely, my bookmarks have been lost in the course of one of these upgrades too. And they definitely are automatic. I remember quite clearly creating a directory, saving the 2.1 release notes and uninstall_install pages, then clicking on the download tab, seeing the browser's options to open the archive and choosing instead to save the file to disk. And indeed, the archive is in the new directory, unopened, with the two html pages. No prompt to install the new version ever displayed on my system, yet here it is... Help/About Seamonkey displays:
Ouch! Have just discovered the explanation. Sometime in September or earlier (the updates history in Preferences/advanced/installation ends there), when I was still running Lucid 5.2.8_x, there was a security update 2.4.1. Apparently it, or a previous installation/update, reset my installation preferences, setting all Seamonkey and add-on upgrades and installations to 'automatic'. I know I've never opened this window before, didn't even know about it. So it must have become a default setting in some version of SM. Very disturbing... The update history shows the automatic installation of SM 'security updates' 2.41, 2.5, 2.6.1, 2.7, 2.7.1, 2.7.2, 2.9, 2.9.1, and 2.10. I've now unchecked the add-on 'download and install' options, and also the update ones, but left the option to 'check daily' for updates checked. Not sure what to do about them, especially as you seem to suggest letting them autoinstall to Lupuplus_libre is not a good idea. On one hand, it's surely good to have the latest security fixes, on the other, its preferable to have an installation specifically tested on lupu. But given the rate of new security updates, I don't expect you could possibly create pets for each them. There seem to have been nine in the past nine months... _________________ otropogo@gmail.com facebook.com/otropogo |

I would have just called those the regular SM updates. We did have pets for most of them. The auto update did seem to work OK for me from 2.9 to 2.10. I might suggest installing the 2.10 pet and then watching next time it asks about updating. |

FWIW, I've had no problems with SeaMonkey auto-updating to 2.10 or Firefox auto-updating to 13.0 in several full and frugal installs. Still using a full install of lupu-libre 528.005 as my primary os. |

Thanks for 3.54.sfs. I d/l the " get_libreoffice-015.pet" and will use on future updates of libreoffice. This new version is super fast and really enjoying it. Again, thanks for your assistance. You are always Johnny-on-the-Spot, when I need something. |

If the person making a pet of Seamonkey or Firefox, does not deliberately turn off auto update, then it will be set on by default, when you install the pet. Mozilla made auto update on the default setting in all of their browsers. When you install the browser, the first thing it will do is run auto update and if update is found, it will install the update. For Seamonkey or Firefox auto update settings can be changed in preferences. (while I was changing the settings for auto update in Seamonkey, it was already downloading the update.) Seamonkey preferences for auto update, when you first install the Lucid pet of Seamonkey:

Same with me. In Seamonkey 2.9.1 I had auto update set in preferences to only check for updates, but not download and install. I did the update to 2.10 by help->check for updates. After the update to 2.10 the preference settings where still set the way I wanted them. So for me, it seems the preferences are not reset, but remembered between updates.

I do not like auto update because it consumes the lupusave when I am on wary/slacko, or lupu with the seamonkey SFS. Seamonkey-2.10-en.sfs is now available http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=78601 _________________ Multilingual Wary-511 Lucid Puppy Quickset edition Downloads for Puppy Linux http://shino.pos.to/linux/downloads.html |

Just uninstalled Chrome 18 and installed your latest and greatest Chrome 19 pet on the full install of LupuLibre528.005 on my Athlon XP box......works fine.

Puppy has something for everyone! Shinobar is right--if one uses an sfs-based browser such as his SM, then updating will consume lupusave. I personally don't mind that so much and I prefer that my browser auto-update to stay current--if the browser is installed with a pet then the auto-update will not take any more lupusave space than the pet already takes because it will overwrite files in the pet. Admittedly, the Google Chrome pet for instance does use about 105MB of lupusave. |

This is my concern also. I've lost a 2sf file in the past because it got filled to the limit.
Do you mean that every one of the last nine times Seamonkey auto-installed an update on my lupu528/ lupupluslibre, it left the previous version's files intact in my 2fs file? If so, how can I get rid of the redundant files? How much space could I expect to recover if I simply uninstall Seamonkey completely, after saving my passwords and bookmarks, and then installing the 2.10 pet? _________________ otropogo@gmail.com facebook.com/otropogo |
