I figured it out I just installed an sdl.pet package that fixed the problem.

Have you ever used Netsurf before? It is a CLI web browser, I think it also supports flash. if that could be tweaked to handle flash and java I think it would be a very nice addition.

Hi i have tested guydog and like it. it seems to be built ok.

I am having trouble running it on an old packard bell m5 series latop. i ran dmidecode and it gave me this click here encase any of that information is useful

it will not run x I ran lspci to find out what it has and it has this.
Display controller: intel Corporation 82852/855GM Intergrated Graphics Device (rev 02)

i would like to see how this runs but vesa driver will not work a probe did not work and i did not know what driver to manually try.

i would like to run this in the old packard bell but if i cant well thats life.
i can run 528 and slacko on this computer no problems with vesa. maybe its something to do with the drivers you are using in GuyDog

I found guydog from this review. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHAyQ8BY3To

here he states that you recommend not to install apps from ppm. in fact the ppm has been disabled. i need flash plugin and a few other things. I cant find anything for guydog or dpup here in the packages either click here is it safe and ok to install the debian repos in ppm and use them.

For Flash just go here http://puppylinux.org/wikka/libflashplayer than follow the instructions when you extract the package you extract it into the directories. make sure you copy libflashplayer.so into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ into that directory it worked perfectly for me. for java I had to download a sfs files and load it with wizard wizard.

i forgot about that trick for flashplayer. and the same plugin needs to go in the chromium folder if i install that. great.

as i cant find any pets or sfs files for guydog or dpup then i am out of luck with java i guess. i could either install java from source with devx, or if the debian repos work i coudl add them to ppm and be sweet.

when i have some time i will look into it again, guydog is on a my 20gb usb hdd with a few other puppies.

I installed java from here

Just have the sfs package load and it will work fine.

Well done and fast booting! Installed to USB

#262 Post by mikemason »

Hats off to a great pup!
Runs nice out of the box, I like the package manager and used it to find Flash so I could watch youtube, and rox for the mount tool (it gave a error that I needed it) Firefox updated from 7 to 10 automatically. It's nice to get back down to under 200 mb and a fast boot (felt like 10 sec) which is how Puppy started. I'll probably add stuff like Gimp as time goes by but for a Pocket Puppy on a USB pen it's nice.

Thanks!

(PS, I installed the iso directly to the usb using unetbootin-windows-568.exe from Win7, and running on an old Dell Optiplex GX620)

Exprimo Pets Should run in Guygod

#264 Post by mikeslr »

Hi,

I was scrolling thru "Derivatives" and was surprised by activity on this thread.
I discontinued using Guydog. But anyone still interested in using it should know that pemasu used iguleder's kernel to develop Exprimo and Exprimo-Multicore. Consequently, almost anything which runs under them can be installed and should run under Guydog.

Exprimo repo: http://smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages-dpup/

Many Lupu/Lucid pets will also work.
I recommend created a protected SaveFile before installing each "non-Guydog" pet. Makes it easier to recover from something which breaks other apps.

Maybe he has put The Guy on ice or the back burner?
Try out his home page. I give link soon. :)

Seems he promote roar-ng there with Subito.
Maybe that is his main motivation now and
that Guy puppy is as is. Look here and maybe
write PM to him if he don't look here and answer.

Anybody have a devx.sfs link for the Puppy?

Looking through the thread All I found were working links to the iso.

Kernel Headers and devx.sfs are gone.

Still a fresh install but I am building it up slowly. Running it off of a 128MB SD flash card.

Code: Select all

sh-4.2# cd .packages
sh-4.2# ls
builtin_files			  Packages-puppy-5-official
DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS		  Packages-puppy-lucid-official
DISTRO_PET_REPOS		  Packages-puppy-quirky-official
DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS		  Packages-puppy-slacko-official
flashplayer11-11.2.202.280.files  Packages-puppy-wary5-official
gconv-fix-0.0.1.files		  PKGS_HOMEPAGES
glib12-1.2.10.files		  PKGS_MANAGEMENT
gtk+12-1.2.10.files		  rox-filer_2.10.files
lxterminal-0.1.9-i686.files	  sfs_load-1.4.files
Packages-debian-squeeze-main	  user-installed-packages
Packages-puppy-2-official	  vte-0.26.2-i686.files
Packages-puppy-3-official	  woof-installed-packages
Packages-puppy-4-official	  xmms-1.2.11.files
I went with this because I needed something small yet powerful to
fit on the 128MB SD flash card. :)

rokytnji,

In case no one has PM'd you, Pemasu has an active link in Dpup Exprimo 5X15 here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 973#548973.

I downloaded it last night and compared it to my copy from when I managed to grab http://www.iguleder.info/puppy/kernel/l ... 4/packages and /sources, md5sum checked ok.

If you manage to get devx I wouldn't mind a copy for my collection since I didn't always grab one when I tried some pups.

HTH
Jeff

Thanks jeff757. I'll make an backup of personal save before throwing that in there. No, no one has PM'd me. :(
