I see. I thought the illegal instruction might mean something other than libgconf. What it might mean is that Iron and Chrome 16, when they are released, might also not run on P3 and Athlon XP. I do have a P3 to test on, but I am going out of town for a few days.
.

I know Iron 16 will run on this Athlon XP box cause I made my own pet.....

At the moment we have guests staying in the room that the machine is in, and I'll probably have no chance getting my hands on it until next year (2.1.2012)

Since the guests include two small children, there will probably be someone, whose sleep must not be disturbed, sleeping in the room at pretty much all times.

May I too ask for help on this?

Thanks much.

I have read somewhere in this forum, that the file is just forgotten to rename. It is update 004. I am sure.

rerwin wrote:- The key factor is that the first "save" of each session saves everything in the top (RAM file system) layer to the "save layer" on a flash drive. Subsequent "saves" write only the files with timestamps later than those of the already saved files.
- Installation of packages places the new files directly into the save layer and sets their timestamps to the current time, leaving any older versions intact in the top layer, so the operational system may be a mix of old and new files for the remainder of the session!
- Uninstallation of packages copies the original "pup layer" versions of files to the top layer, replacing the package versions, but leaves in place the package files in the "save layer". The set of files in operation is all old/original files.

Found a solution(removepreview.sh):

Code: Select all

     cp -a --remove-destination "$S" "$ONESPEC"
     rm -f "/initrd/pup_rw$ONESPEC" # clean up RAM layer

Uploaded petget-20111230.pet. Note this is experimental.

kevin bowers and sheldonisaac. My mistake. The server was being "helpful." I checked that it was downloading but not that it was downloading the right thing! Then I went on vacation. It should work now but you might have to clear browsing data.

Thank you, playdayz.

I'll do the update tomorrow; my newer (2004) computer has, as I recall,
5.2.8 with the 002 update

IU004 downloaded like a charm. Now to find the intestinal fortitude to apply it! Thanks!

playdayz · #941 Post by **playdayz** » Tue 03 Jan 2012, 03:27

Made my own pet of Iron 16......

James C, Did you compile it? Or is it available somewhere I don't know, because I usually get it at srware.net and they only have Iron 15 for Linux.

Never mind. I found it. Thanks.

But, is Iron 16 giving you any trouble? It is giving me some seg faults.

Ah, the problem appears to have been in these extra startup options that are now commented out

Code: Select all

#--disk-cache-size=10000000 --media-cache-size=10000000

Yep. That's a good attitude

It never hurts to back-up your save file.

No problems with Iron 16 here yet in fairly brief testing. Streaming videos,downloading and regular web browsing is fine..Posting from Iron 16 in 528.004 right now.Here's my startup options...

James C, May I see your pet of Iron 16? I am still having some problem. Thanks.

don570 · #945 Post by **don570** » Tue 03 Jan 2012, 20:21

Availalble at first post- New version of mtpaint 3.40

It works well with wacom Bamboo tablet.

I haven't found any bugs and it works on wide number of
Puppies including slacko and Lucid puppy.

But avoid using it on Lighthouse 503 by Tazoc

It was compiled on Lighthouse 443

Chromium 18

The latest build of Chromium, the open-source basis of Google Chrome and Srware Iron. Probably will not work on Athlon XP or P3.

Decided to try the latest Google Chrome direct from Google."Illegal instruction" again . But...........

James C · #950 Post by **James C** » Wed 04 Jan 2012, 03:31

Now if I can remember what I tweaked........

If so I'll make a Chrome pet and then tweak your Chromium 18 and see what happens.
