This is just an educated(ish) guess and I could be wrong, but since "gst" is in the error message I wonder if it is worth looking for a possible mismatch involving gstreamer libraries? Are these to be found in system or within the pre-compiled package or both?

How to compile xapp 2.6.1?

At a glance it looks like you would compile it with meson and ninja
When asking questions like that it would be helpful if you could post a link to source code and any other information so that we don't have to go searching for it.

Trying to duplicate the problem with FF+no sound. Below - you mention QuickPet on the desktop . I'm using S15Pup64. I can't see QuickPet . Gotta hint? Do you mean you are trying to duplicate the problem (of no sound) which you yourself don't have (why would you try to do that??) Or do you mean you ...

I also just tried Mike's portable versions, both mainline and ESR, and they have no sound either. What should I look for next? How do I check the library is given prority, or that it's overriding what it needs to override? I am a bit concerned that Mike's portables did not work for you. If you are ...

bob93, Most of the recent Puppies have apulse built-in. If not, you can install it as a .pet package but don't do that if your Puppy already has it. We need to know what Puppy you are talking about (FossaPup and Xenial64 are mentioned in your signature) Then we need to know what Firefox you are usin...

The plugin for VLC to work with libmicrodns should be:- /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/vlc/plugins/services_discovery/libmicrodns_plugin.so If this is not present I suspect it may not work, unless the casting is using some other library instead. However I will post .PET packages of libmicrodns-0.2.0 comp...

OscarTalks

Following on from what bigpup posted a link to, I think in Debian the protobuf needed for VLC may be named libprotobuf-lite32 rather than just protobuf. It is listed as a dependency of vlc-plugin-base. I do recall this being one of the libraries that I had to add in the VLC which had casting working...

OscarTalks

The version 3.0.18 I tried was installed using Synaptics package manager from the Debian repo, so no go for casting with it. OK, thanks for the clarification. All I can tell you is that VLC functionality mostly comes from plugins so casting would need all the libraries plus all the relevant plugins...

OscarTalks

Installed VLC 3.0.18 from the repo and is working except for the casting function (as usual). Scanning is greyed out and never finds anything, if you get a chance, please take a look and see if it's fixable. I know I experimented with building a VLC with casting working in DpupStretch, but in later...

YouTube change their system fairly frequently. The developers of the Download Helper plugin will need to change the plugin accordingly otherwise it will stop working. Also you will need to ensure that you have updated the plugin whenever a change has been made. Folks here will maybe offer suggestion...

OscarTalks

I'm afraid I don't know, sorry

OscarTalks

I can only offer a bit of general comment here. Be aware first of all that some packages are dropping support for 32bit these days, but if it shows up in PPM there should be a chance that you will be able to install it and dependencies should get installed as part of the process. That is not always ...

OscarTalks

Interestingly, libcryptsetup12 (package name) shows as "Already Installed" in FossaPup PPM, but in fact I don't think it is. Anyway searching for that package by name in PPM and installing it will install that library plus the libargon dependency as fredx181 has said. libcryptsetup.so.12 s...

What I did was this:- Download the zuluCrypt-6.2.0-ubuntu-20.04-Focal_Fossa.tar.xz file Do not convert it into a .pet Extract it using UExtract (via right-click) or you can just click on it to extract it. Extracted directory has a sub-directory named amd64 containing 4 .deb packages Click on each of...

To create a new symlink you just need to do a couple of steps in ROX-filer file manager. If you are using a different file manager it might be a bit different but the principle should still be the same. Everything is done from within the /etc/vpn-onoff directory. If you want to use an extra .ovpn co...

You may wish to try this little .pet package, download and then click on it to install, use Puppy Package Manager if you wish to uninstall it later:- http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks/vpn-onoff-0.4.1-x86_64-fossa.pet This CONTAINS a version of OpenVPN so if you have a subscription with NordVPN and they...

Just comparing the /usr/bin/input-wizard in BWP64 with the one in S15Pup64 In BWP64 it seems the script is failing to detect that the libinput xorg driver module is the one in use and therefore offers up the wrong buttons and dialogs. How about if we edit the section starting at line 615 so it now l...

In Slacko 7.0 try this:- Open /usr/sbin/input-wizard in geany Edit line 203 so it now reads:- MOUSEACCX10=`LANG=C dc -e "${MOUSEACCEL} 10 * 1 / p"` #130209 (previously was MOUSEACCX10=`LANG=C dc ${MOUSEACCEL} 10 \* p` #130209) Save changes and close Now try changing mouse acceleration agai...

OscarTalks

There is an issue which has been around for a while, mouse acceleration via xset stopped working because the input-wizard script calls the " dc " utility which is a busybox symlink in /bin and the syntax which was understood by the dc utility got changed. I recall (only partially) that som...

the volume control on the taskbar has no effect at all. Any suggestions? The only suggestion that springs to mind is that if you right-click the volume icon and open "Settings" that gives you the Retrovol Configuration window. In the "Tray" tab you can change the slider which th...

JWM is really great but icewm is more stable on my hardware. Also i know hiw to theme icewm better. I would like to replace jwm with icewm. I believe that some years ago Puppy did have built-in the facility to run icewm alongside (or alternative to) JWM, but support for this in Puppy development ha...

I compiled libcanberra in xenial 64bit with optional dependency on libtdb disabled.
XenialPup64 users may wish to try installing the .pet to see if it stops the event-sound-cache files from being created.

OscarTalks

event-sound-cache.tdb......i686-pc-linux-gnu (total 585) Yes, they can accumulate sometimes. As I said above, I am confident that those can be deleted. If you look in the other thread (link in the first post of this thread) you will see there is a version of libcanberra which I compiled for Bionic3...

OscarTalks

I am confident that they don't serve any useful function in Puppy and that they can be deleted. They arise as part of a process designed to produce audible (sound) notifications when certain system events happen, but this is not implemented in Puppy at all. This involves libcanberra. The Ubuntu (and...

openssl3 builds of Sylpheed are needed to fully complete the update to openssl3 (@OscarTalks ?)

It does appear to link to the openssl3 libraries OK, but others will need to report...

Could anyone who uses S15Pup tell me if Transmission works on their setup? I'm not sure if it's a firewall issue or something.

Just wanted to report that I tested transmission in fresh boots of 64bit and 32bit S15Pup and both worked for me, even with firewall enabled with default settings.

Hello mow, I have a frugal of the latest F96_2 with no save (set up on a different machine from the one I am using now) and when I open Login and Security Manager it is the same as yours.

Open the Puppy Package Manager from Menu > Setup
Search for transmission-3.00-x86_64-fossa
Install that and see if it works better for you.
