The movement that Ubuntu-based distribution changes to the Debian base is seen.
Ubuntu has intense evolution, and abnormality may occur by version up with the old model.
Debian does not force version update in comparison with it.
I think that this applies to environment using Puppy.
Because there was the matter of OpenSSL, I install and try Dpup Wheezy.
  • The Japanese support package was applicable to normalcy.
  • Puppy Package Manager fails in update. It is necessary to delete the item of deb-multimedia.org form ~/.package/DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS to be improved.
  • The problem of OpenSSL can use the method to be improved with Debian package. Please apply a package of the i386:
https://packages.debian.org/en/wheezy/i ... l/download
https://packages.debian.org/en/wheezy/i ... 0/download

This is careful about the things that come to support a patch, not the latest edition
Correspondence of OpenSSL is a command:

Code: Select all

# openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013
# openssl version -b
built on: Tue Apr  8 10:05:11 UTC 2014
  • The package of Chromium:
https://packages.debian.org/en/wheezy/i ... m/download
https://packages.debian.org/en/wheezy/i ... 2/download
https://packages.debian.org/en/wheezy/a ... n/download (Language Files)

Hi just found dpup wheezy its is a good os.

I have 2 problems one being firefox other being downloading from repos.

FIREFOX
firefox wont run. I ran it in terminal and got a Bus Error, whatever that is.
i am not sure what I can do
my system specks are as follows.

Puppy Setup: Frugal install on hdd with 1gb save.
Device: HP Compaq nx9000
CPU: Mobile Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.40GHz
RAM: 448MB (assume actual 512mb)
Graphics: Advanced Mir=cro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS200 [Radeon IGP330M/340M/350M

If having low ram is the issue i can upgrade to 1 or 2gb later.

on another note i have a version of firefox that runs by itself and does not need compiling it runs from its own folder outside the save file. Now I tested that and it runs no problem. so i wonder why the default one has problems.
also running firefox from other puppy os on my flash drive works ok.

PPM
the PPM updates ok the first time but i cant download apps. i tried to download sylpheed for my mail app but when downloading extra dependences I get the error they are not found in the repositories. i tried Pidgin, and several other apps and got the same result.

just want to query why. i updated ppm once and have internet setup so i dont understand.

Because Firefox is included in Dpup Wheezy by default,
Overwrite of the packages is the cause of the malfunction.
Please uninstall from Puppy Package Magener if you installed Firefox with .deb package.

An automatic update function is included in Firefox which is in Dpup Wheezy:

i dont think you get what was sayng. i was talking about the default firefox in puppy causing the fault and not working so i can't use it.

now the other version is a precompiled package that can run directly from its own folder, on any os, without needing to be installed. and it works.

there is no firefox in the dpup repos to install as debian comes with iceweasel an unbranded version of firefox created for debian.

also did you mis that i said that ppm does not work properly either.

Hi,
here are links to get Musescore-1.3 running on wheezy-3.5.2.11:
(and might be on aother Puppies ...):

i've found Musescore-1.3 binary package from ArchLinux
which seems running OOTB on wheezy-3.5.2.11;
download here:
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/archlinux ... pkg.tar.xz
+needs the /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/ stuffs
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/archlinux ... pkg.tar.xz

It also needs Qt-4.6 or above (i.e. Qt-4.8.2 from pemasu's repo here:)
http://smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages-upup/

It could even open and play some midi files.

Enjoy !
Cheers
Charlie

ps: if someone would want to get a try to compile it, here are some informations about the unsuccessfull compiling process i experienced.
I have downloaded the dependencies all from debian wheezy repo.
Compilation took place in /mnt/home to have enough space.
Unsuccesfull attempt for compilation:
i've tried to compile SourceForge's Musescore-1.3's .tar.bz2 source;
it stops at 84% compiling process upon linking CXX shared library libqtscript_gui.so;
i miss expertise to fix the errors which are reported as follows (abstract): there is no explicit message about missing dependencies

Dpup Wheezy 3.5.2.11 has Gnome-Mplayer 1.0.7 which works fine, I have had no problems with it, but I decided to try compiling the latest version which is 1.0.9b

I am attaching the ChangeLog if you want to see what has been changed in the later version. Remove (by renaming) the fake .gz extension off the end of the file name after downloading before you open it to read it.

All seems quick and easy to do. I compiled it with the gmtk-1.0.9 dependency linked statically so shared libraries are not needed. The older version gmtk shared libs will be ignored. I don't think they are used for anything else so could be removed in fact.

If anyone wants to try it out:-

Thank you.

It works fine in Dpup Wheezy 3.5.2.8 too.

I'm using it as default audio and media player.

Hi,
about compiling in wheezy-3.5.2.11 ... (and maybe others...)
When compiling applications in wheezy_3.5.2.11 (+ only devx_wheezy_3.5.2.11.sfs mounted + applications requested dependencies ), i use to compile according to the usual steps documented in the README and INSTALL doc:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

I noticed that the resulting home-compiled binaries have a larger MB size than the one compiled by other forum members, or present in the puppy repos, or available on the Debian repo:
- as an example, i got compiled Htop-1.0.3's /usr/bin/htop to 575K, whereas it sizes only 110K instead.
- again, compiling nted-1.10.18 results in a ca. 6MB /usr/bin/nted binary whereas it is only 1MB in the repo.

Then how might it be possible to -dramaticaly :shock: - shrink their size that much?
Thanks for any enlightment :)

Cheers, Charlie

Finally making the shift from pemasu's Upup Precise 3.8.3.1 to Dpup Wheezy, after suffering substantial filesystem errors to *parts* of my pupsave. Perhaps the hard drive on my Lenovo T60 (3GB Ram, dual core at 2 GHz) is starting to fritz, but I have had a history of improper shutdowns I hope to avoid in future with judicious system backups. Will be following the "keep your savefile slim and healthy" thread pretty closely too, now http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=62110

Anywho, the migration has been surprisingly painless - except for the issue of the xorg/ radeon/KMS driver issue that I am working through thanks to others posting already in this thread. Downloading devx as I type. But a newbie question - how do I re-enable sliding working windows between desktops/workspaces?? This is a JWM feature I find *particularly* useful in a laptop - but I can't find a simple setting switch for it like screensaver, trays, desktops etc etc. Could someone please post a solution - is there a line in the jwmconfig2 I need to include?

Many Thanks (esp to pemasu for this 'keeper')

Some weeks ago I compiled the latest NDISwrapper (1.59) in Dpup Wheezy.
Only recently I got round to testing it with my Netgear WNA3100 USB wireless adapter.
It's working very well.

Take note, it contains a kernel module so is only suitable for Dpup Wheezy with kernel 3.5.2 and will not work in other Puppies.

Yep ! using strip worked nice !

In Dpup Squeeze Exprimo, there is an application with the title "Desktop Setup". I can't find it in Dpup Wheezy, does anyone know where I can get hold of it?

It's a program that saves the current desktop, so it can be restored.
Very handy for anyone who changes the icons on the desktop and then changes the list of loaded sfs files in "Boot Manager".
(Which causes the "default" icons to be re-written onto the desktop.)

Hi gyro,
as what you are looking for is from a Pemasu's production, you might have a look to his repo:
http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu
and therein look for it browing among the pet_packages-xyz pets folders:
does this match what you would need? (dpup=debian pup pets repo)
http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_pack ... up-0.5.pet
This might also work on dpup-wheezy ...just get a try on it :)
have fun!

I have compiled the latest openssl-1.0.1h security fix release
For Dpup Wheezy only, not other Pups.
Also the latest curl-7.37.0
Not sure if the original included one is broken or doesn't like openssl upgrades.
This one seems fine so far though.
