Checksums are checked.

Code: Select all

# md5sum qt-4.8.2-stripped.sfs

I have all the files located on the hard courts in a special section.
The system itself is on a flash drive.
Is that improper placement?

Code: Select all

When you run the mouse pops up a message
they have been loaded: is arleady loaded. Do you want to unload? :?

Hello

I booted up a pristine frugal install of LxPup 13.01 and then installed the 2 sfs's (using sfs-load-on-the-fly). The 2 sfs's were located in the same sub-directory as the LxPup files - i.e
# cd /mnt/home/test1
# ls
initrd.gz
puppy_lxpup_13.01.sfs
qt-4.8.2-stripped.sfs
skype-4.1.0.20.sfs
vmlinuz
Works fine from a terminal - see the screenie - so I think your problems are to do with how you have your system configured.

If your puppy files are on a flash drive then I suggest that the sfs's should be there as well.

The reason skype does not show up in the menu is that LxPup has a different menu structure to ordinary puppies - but this can easily be fixed by a small edit to the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications

Cheers

Hello

Thank, peebee,
Yes, you have convinced me that my configuration is not suitable for Skype. Apparently the files are loaded later than necessary.
It is set up in the Boot manager.
Without carry files to a USB flash drive can not be without?
Can prescribe them to a file "fsckme.flg"?
I see it: sda8,ext3,/lxpupsave-2013.05.08.3fs

It did not work.
Files transferred to a USB flash drive.
When installing the system offered their copy to the section where they were with me.
And when you start Skype, it just flashes and closes.

Well the common thing between you both seems to be LxPup 13.01 - but I've tried that on my laptop and do not have the problem...

So I am at a loss what to advise - maybe you could try a frugal install of vanilla Slacko 5.5 to see if that gives the same error for you?

From Googling your error message - other people with the same error are listed - and it looks like its a library problem of some sort - are you both running absolutely pristine versions of LxPup or have you installed other things as well as Skype? There may be another common factor.

Anyway please both try if possible:

1. a pristine frugal install of LxPup with the Skype sfs in the same directory as the lxpup sfs

2. if that doesn't work - the same but with Slacko 5.5

Thanks

I'm confused by these versions of Skype already. :)
I messed around with 4.1.0.20, and for the first time post 4.2.0.11.
That is, is obtained while I tormented with the previous version, there's a new, and you update the first post? :o
Bravo, the software writers Puppy! :D
Puppy is most suitable for me now Linux!

Skype 4.2

#40 Post by TIW »

Hi peebee.
I am running Slacko 5.6 and Skype works great.
I do have however a question in regard to the tiny Desktop Tray Icon. How can I increase the size of that Icon ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi TIW

Only way I know would be:

JWM Configuration Manager
Tray Management
Tray Height Option

but this would change all tray icons I think

Have a go.

For using Microsoft Account in skype4.2 in puppy I have found you need a connection's speed up 3 Mbs. With a 3G internet key at gprs speed it did not work for me but it worked at home at up 3 Mbs connection's speed.

There is a problem with skype using a proxy to connect to microsft. http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/sig ... -p/1375467 I installed the latest deb files and all dependencies successfully, but I couldn't log in with my microsoft account, showing the same error from the link.

Kind of mad at myself. I installed latest skype deb file and all dependencies individually and it worked the first time, but since I couldn't sign in with my microsoft account I uninstall it to try the sfs files, I could've just created a skype account an then link it to my microsoft acount. Anyways, now skype doesn't show in the menu, when I run it in the terminal, it keeps saying it needs libqtgui4.so I think, and it shouldn't because both sfs are loaded, I installed the lib from the package manager, and it still shows the same error message. I uninstall everything, then I install it again from scratch like the first time, it keeps the same error and I'm out of ideas, Can someone with more knowledge help me out here?

The latest deb from where? Sounds like a lib mismatch. What happens when you run: ldd /usr/bin/skype?

From the skype website, I picked the ubuntu deb file. I have everything uninstalled now, I can try sfs again an try your command.

That you're using the official build, unload that stripped lib and instead load the devx.

Menu >> setup >> sfs manager. Once dwnldd, right click and choose sfs_load.

See if running it this way makes any difference..

It's weird, I installed sfs files again today and they worked this time. Maybe it's because I upgraded the sfs side loader today, or the order in which you install them, who knows? Anyways, I was able to login and everything it's working great, One thing, I had to reboot, but the sfs were not loaded anymore, do you know what could be the reason? I loaded them again, and skype worked again.
