everything installed... Dependencies OK, but when click on MegaSync icon nothing happens. By terminal:
# megasync
megasync: /lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.17' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcares.so.2)
...thanks for the help!!
you installed all the files from megasync-precise.tar.gz and it didn't work for you? these three were all i needed on three of three 571/571 derivative installations.
here's an sfs consisting of the same three files (megasync-xUbuntu_12.04_i386.deb, libc-ares2_1.10.0-2_i386.deb, libicu48_4.8.1.1-3ubuntu0.1_i386.deb).
anyway, i'd try the gz or the sfs first, and if those fail, maybe try
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite ... =libc.so.6
or an rpm version. sometimes you luck out and one is all it takes, sometimes it takes the one lib and just keeps asking for more.

(post wouldn't show without me cutting apart and repasting it--never seen this particular forum glitch before, but doing the same thing twice didn't help it any.)
fwiw to anyone, syncing between machines (but not the cloud) has stopped with my precise 5.5. installation. it's still working well on the three precise 571/571 derivatives.

Kim Dotcom's name and image has been smeared a lot, but he is an innocent man for sure and he has done nothing wrong.slavvo67 wrote:The creator of this thing is reflected as an international data thief.
He saved Christmas 2014, you know. Well at least he saved Christmas for the people who got 8th gen video game consoles. How? He convinced The Lizard Squad to stop the DDoS attacks on PSN and Xbox Live.
....
He has been convicted of fraud and embezzlement and that was before he started megaupload etc. I'm not saying the big multinationals are any more trustworthy though. The only way to be sure is to encrypt anything before storing it.

Hi Puppus, thanks for the help and sorry for the delay of my answer.
I spent a time to try all your suggestions, but without success... I tried a fresh Puppy Precise install with all update... installed your packages, checked and satisfied all dependencies... nothing. Still the same error:
# megasync
megasync: /lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.17' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcares.so.2)
so I googled GLIBC_2.17... and I find this link:
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/searc ... tem=&arch=
but I don't know what to do/use...
sorry but I'm still in trouble with it

battleshooter outlines a method of upgrading that whole mess--not sure if it'll help or if it's something you'd want to get involved with, but short of trying another distro, it's the only suggestion i have. i'm trying to remember what i may have added to my precise 571/572s that may explain the different results from what you are seeing, but...

Hello @Puppus Dogfellow. I think I understand why you chose the link in the prior thread, but someone may know the answer to my question.
Questions to anyone regarding "Mega.nz" services
Questions to anyone regarding "Mega.nz" services
- For large files, is there a way to use wget for downloads from them?
- For picture/images such as .png/.jpg/etc. is there a way to directly link them in a document or as an image in a Puppy forum page?

so far i've just used it for storage but stemsee made a pet of a suite of (at least largely, if i'm remembering the post/announcement correctly) preexisting utilities for it (there's also some python stuff for dropbox i can remember being mentioned along these lines). i'm pretty sure wget would be able to grab a file it had permission to grab--i think that's how stemsee's been releasing his iso's lately--you could test it with one of those.gcmartin wrote:Hello @Puppus Dogfellow.

without looking into the documentation on the website, i'd say if it can act like a photobucket it's not as readily apparent as its spideroak/adrive/googledrive/dropbox side. it's quick, it appears to be as reliable as dropbox (though i don't rely on it as much as i do dropbox--habit more than anything), and it's 50 free gigs that sync without a hassle (unlike ADrive) or being illusory (google's syncing i think was mostly links--i could never get the hacks to work right in any case). google's not bad for cloud storage--it's fast and 95 gigs for 20 bucks a year is still better than most. chrome in april is working well, they apparently now have lifetime photo storage or something, and i think soon browsers will get a little more seamless in how they link and drag pics. anyway, solid so far in april, didn't work out in precise 5.5., works well in precise 5.7.1, though some apparently weren't able to get it to run. once it runs, it's fine.
check it out, gc.
ADrive is also fifty free gigs, but the desktop syncing isn't as integrated/appears to be more command line. you can check out that one as well, maybe make a few how tos for it.

anything beyond that seems in bad faith and unenforceable. i think it's more or less a standard legalese let's-cover-our-asses disclaimer, but they do seem to be an embroiled lot--maybe keep precious data away from them for that reason alone.
for my part, it's working well, and 50 gigs is almost problematically generous--i got careless and i think i dumped my copy account into my mega account--went from 2 to nine gig and deleting five gig from the folder didn't delete it on all machines--kind of annoying....
so that's my product review and two cents. nothing seems to work as well as dropbox, this seems quicker than copy, spideroak has improved but i haven't done much testing--first impressions, it's faster and more versatile than it was--still seems more resource hungry and slower than dropbox or mega. quicker than copy, though (which, for its part, has been reliable on every machine i've used it on--slacko64, precise5.5, precise 571, 561...)
they all seem worth having.
sorry for the late response.

megasync-Debian_7.0_amd64.deb works in Slacko64 6.3.0

megasync-Debian_7.0_i386.deb
megasync-Debian_7.0_amd64.deb works in in Slacko64 6.3.0. i'm not sure if it needs any dependencies as i'm not on a vanilla install, but i uploaded the slackware-listed deps (c-ares and cryptopp) i didn't need.
the 32 bit package for slackware is apparently based on the above i386.deb.

with the two dependencies, the above also works in unicorn pup (the 14.10/unicorn.deb from mega didn't).Puppus Dogfellow wrote:megasync-precise.tar.gz

package also works in Xenialpup (the 16/Xenial version didn't), but i think i may have included it two or three times in the original (as compressed, unpacked, and possibly also as a pet), so here's a version that's more streamlined (it's also an unpack and click (aside from the three okays you need to click) install).Puppus Dogfellow wrote:with the two dependencies, the above also works in unicorn pup (the 14.10/unicorn.deb from mega didn't).Puppus Dogfellow wrote:megasync-precise.tar.gz
