Hi Playdayz

That seems to have caused me a few problems.
After uninstalling the test03 .pet I'm unable to install anything at all and cant open the 'Puppy Package Manager'.Tried a reboot and still no go.

Oh shoot. Hold on. I apologize.

Take this file and rename it gtkdialog3, that is, just remove the .gz. Then put it into /usr/sbin, replacing whatever is there. I think things will work after that, and I will fix the update.

Probably a silly question but does this latest RC instant update 002 replace 'test03_Instant_Update-Lucid528-002.pet'??
Yes Brown Mouse. test03 was an earlier version of this same update--it has been much improved thanks to testers and contributors. The thing to do would be to uninstall test03 and then install this RC (Release Candidate). Thanks.
Hi Playdayz

after un-installing update03 and others then unable to get ppm to open or clicking on a pet it would not open. also clicking on a partition would not open.

pfix=ram. now should install only instant update 002?

jim3630, Yes, please re-download the update and then it should work with pfix=ram, as well as applied on top of test03.

playdayz · #455 Post by **playdayz** » Sun 30 Oct 2011, 22:32

Brown Mouse, Can you look in /usr/sbin please and tell me if there is a symlink named gtkdialog that points to gtkdialog?

In /usr/sbin I see gtkdialog with a symlink pointing to gtkdialog3.I also have gtkdialog2 with no symlink.

This is separate from the Super multimedia Update. I think that was the problem. Oh, I think that was the problem--I need to figure out how to handle it. Please wait on the multimedia update--there will be a version 2 of that soon.

And PPM still doesn't open? Can you run ppm in a terminal again?

Did you have the multimedia update installed?

No,PPM and Quickpet both wont open.I get this:-
/usr/local/petget/filterpkgs.sh: line 127: kill: (23405) - No such process
/usr/local/bin/ppm: line 259: /usr/sbin/gtkdialog3: Permission denied

Yes I had the multimedia update installed from several weeks back,unless I missed a further update of it?

playdayz · #461 Post by **playdayz** » Sun 30 Oct 2011, 22:48

Ah, I am beginning to see the light, I hope. Please right-click gtkdialog3 and choose Permissions, then click Yes. Does gtkdialog3 turn green? Is it black to begin with?

Thank you very much for your help. That's why we test I guess

Sorry to be a pain but one further question.
I've removed the test03.pet so should I also remove the 01 instant update .pet before installing RC 2.pet??

Hmm, I would say, just install the RC on top of test01. You have helped find aproblem. Thanks again. This is a case when too much testing presented problems. I understand the issues now, and I can account for them in the release. The basic problem was that there was an incompatibility between the Super Multimedia upgrade and the test versions of the Instant Update, so uninstalling test03 uninstalled gtkdialog3. My mistake of course. Please re-download the RC from the message on p.30--it has been fixed.

To fix your other version, download this file and rename it gtkdialog3, just remove the .gz. Check that it is green--if it is black, right-click and select Permissions, then Yes. Then copy it into /usr/sbin.

Also, if you have re-downloaded the Instant_Update, then it should be OK to install the Multimedia Upgrade on top of it. Or vice versa.

I just installed it "on top of" the test04 on my other computer, and rebooted.

Package manager shows both of them.

I guess I'll go through some of the previous messages to see what problems, if any, to look for.

Many thanks!

d/l and installed update 002 on full install ext4 partition

everything seems to be ok EXCEPT sound icon - shows sound muted
dumb question - How do I get sound unmuted??

I have not had any problems with sound in Lucid-luci series in over a year and suddenly this happens

majorfoo, I think the easiest way is to run Menu -> Multimedia -> Gnome-alsamixer.
