I just downloaded the latest i386 build of Spotify for Linux (v0.9.4.183)
I can package it as a dotpet if anyone wants it.
To launch this under Slacko 5.7 you need to install -
i) the latest Qt, from the Sfs Manger utility.
ii) my Slacko-5.7-fix dotpet from the first post
iii) gstreamer. Download now available here -

Under Tahrpup 6.x most dependencies are already met, so all you should need is gstreamer.

Vanilla install.. I used a different Qt.
I installed Gconf.
Ribblle, you're setup no longer uses /usr/lib/firefox-17.0.11, which, in my opinion, is an utterly stupid naming convention.
And actually Tempestuous, the old libs didn't work for me. Spotify wants a later FF build.
No matter how you slice it, this folder should be named firefox.
Did I mention utterly stupid? Who in the hey would stay @ 17?
Menu launch? Doesn't work. From a shell? Fine.
I had the same damn problem with my SFS.
Here's the terminal:

I just did a test-install of the spotify dotpet in a clean boot to a Slacko 5.7.0. CD. Installs fine.ribblle wrote:spotify-client-i386-0.9.4.183.pet fails to install. Yet, i still have the yellow "please wait processing" popup.
It's a large dotpet at around 41MB, so your problem may be related to RAM or a small pupsave file?
I recommended Qt 4.8.2 only because that seems the most "standard" approach for Slacko users - via Menu > Setup > Sfs Manager.Semme wrote:Vanilla install.. I used a different Qt.
The old spotify version did require Gconf, but this version gave no error message at startup relating to missing Gconf.Semme wrote:I installed Gconf.
The error messages you see relate mainly to Puppy running as root user. These errors are trivial.
Menu launch works fine here after installing to a clean boot of the Tahrpup 6.0.1 CD.Semme wrote:Menu launch? Doesn't work.
So can you tell me which Firefox version works for Spotify in Slacko 5.7? The one from Puppy Package Manager - v27.0.1 ?Semme wrote:Ribblle, your setup no longer uses /usr/lib/firefox-17.0.11, which, in my opinion, is an utterly stupid naming convention.

Then I can fix the Slacko-Firefox-fix dotpet.
That's because..
What you wanna do now is rename the FF folder your using to reflect the directory these point to.

Stock Slacko_5.7.. Fresh save file.. NO programs updated.. These installed in order.. NO menu launch.
Terminal says:
GConf-3.2.5 installed via PPM >> polkit skipped as I know it's already installed.
NO menu launch. Fires from the shell and logs in without issue.
Terminal says:
Code: Select all
# spotify
spotify: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory
NO menu launch. Fires from the shell and logs in without issue.

Tempestuous, no such animal. In the meantime I'll look elsewhere..
PS - With a little folder renaming, Spotify continues to work with Slacko's FF 27 pet, sans menu launch.
It's gotta be an environment variable somewhere..

Odd.. After a reboot she launches.
If I kill it after initial launch and login, the second round doesn't open full-screen.
When attempting to go to full-screen, its window simply shifts down.
I've gotta stretch everything open then exit from the taskbar while holding down Ctrl in order to open full screen again.
A truly *bizarre* program.

What I didn't mention was that I don't have a Spotify account, so when I launch the application I only get as far as the login prompt. So I rely on Semme's information regarding necessary Firefox version, and requirement for GConf.
To this end I have updated the instructions in the first post, and modified my compatibility dotpet for Firefox libs in Slacko. (The symlinks now point to /usr/lib/firefox).

Big Guy, you may wanna make this #4. It's for anyone running the build Slacko shipped with.
Furthermore, a reboot's not only a good idea, it's *absolutely* essential for a menu launch.
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
mv /usr/lib/firefox-17.0.11 /usr/lib/firefox
rm -f /usr/bin/firefox
ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
exit
