I tried to install gtk3 from PPM today and all the website links are either not working or recursion is disabled. I tried updating PPM and even then the links would not work. Have the depositories moved?

I suspect so. I occasionally have success locating packages via the PPM but more often than not i have no joy.

I tend to look for suitable pets on this forum or else look for packages from other distros (particularly Arch or Debian). I have almost no experience with compiling from source so tend to look for prebuilt packages.

I don't have any GTK3 pets to offer unfortunately. It may be worth trying to boot temporarily from one of the varieties of Slacko 5.7 and try that PPM as those packages (Slackware 14.1) are often compatible with Slacko 5.6 (Slackware 14.0) and I know that Sailor Enceladus and others are reviving new flavours of Sacko 5.7 as it is a great little distro.

Earlier this week I tried to install PPM2 from Iguleder but encountered an issue I have not solved yet. I have posted a question on the PPM2 thread (re it's calculation of free space not working on banksy due to the way pup-event is used i think)

Hi Rick - I am out of my depth when it comes to stuff like GTK3 but I wonder if you actually need it? Is it definitely a requirement for what you are trialling?

I have recently been trying an mtp mounting tool from mistfire and it gave me some GTK error messages and there are some interesting posts following this one:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 06#1029406.

I don't pretend to know what a gtk template file is but it got me going ok.

Might be worth reading those comments in case it has something to offer. Clearly Slacko 5.6 (the base for b3) lacks some stuff.

(if you are interested in mistfire's mtp mounting tool for getting files off an Android phone I have made a pet for banksy here:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/dd2bv3xc ... gg-1.2.pet
It is early days for that utility but it seems to be working if you are patient with the occasional temporary "hang")

Hello.

I'd like to try Banksy, but it's confusing:

Hi karambol, I am sorry but I have no idea what the information suggests. As far as I know there are no viruses present.
