Re: How to play a CD in Xenial Puppy64?

I agree Mike just thought an ex Windows guy may have found it easier coming to Puppy to find what was in the menu. Personally I use Audacious. Always these days strip Pups down and then add things that I want. Flmusic is another simple app for playing mp3. Comes from Tinycore/ slitaz an fltk app. De...

Re: choosing a debian compatible pup or dog?

From memory pkg by Scottman is also there in Dpup Buster. I think Peebee's builds do too.

Re: choosing a debian compatible pup or dog?

For Dogs I love Jessie Dog and Stretch and Devuandog Beowulf. You can make your own with Build scripts.

Try Dpup Buster by Joseph2424 it has apt.

Re: Booting Debiandogs with Puppy kernels is it possible?

Well it is working on this setup so I am happy. I'll leave it to others to try out. I tried it not expecting it to work - I just thought what the hell - give it ago - so whether it is true porteous boot is up to to judge - I am just happy to try out using one of my favourite dogs with one of Peebee'...

89 Under YakketyDog Dog Linux

Your version 89 Chrooted Iron is working well on a Xenial Dog - Not what you'd be expecting it to run on but with a little bit of work I got it running with menu entry. Thanks again Mike for doing these keeping older Puppies and Dogs alive.

Wanderer/William,

Why not have a shortcut script that says apulse /usr/bin/firefox

Or wherever firefox is installed replacing /usr/bin

Re: Puppy Package Manager gets stuck in a loop if my internet connection goes down

This is normal if your connection goes down as packages can't be downloaded if there is no connection.

Question is why the connection went down??? Do you need to ping the connection so that is not dropped ?

Is there an issue with your Router???

With the reliance on other distros causing a few issues with installing packages that overwrites Puppy files ie. Audacious in Slackware Puppies - should we look at a Puppy built from source?....

Re: Latest Firefox for Precise?

Nic,

I have a version I am running in Stretch that may run and updates to the latest.

It is converted from a Slitaz version. Uses older glibc it is called Firefox-Official - worth a shot.

Re: Latest Firefox for Precise?

You will need to add libatomic which is not available for Precise but you can grab one from a later Ubuntu distro such as Trusty Tahr and use it in Precise. Okay, sounds like something is at least trying to start up but no go. Lots of GTK3 errors so maybe the package I have installed is not quite u...

Re: Installing Audacious breaks sound in Slackware Pups

Yes it did.

Installed Audacious 3.72 and audacious plugins.
Deps..
fftw, json-c, libasyncns, libproxy,
mpg123, neon, pulseaudio, sbc, speexdsp, and wavpack.

Initially audacious works complaining the mozjs185.so.1.0 is missing then reboot and no sound.

Re: Slackware Pups and audacious

Yep exactly as you described Oscar. Much better to make a version from source without pulse etc which causes the issue.

Not willing to repeat the exercise as I had to reset up SCPup. Just a heads up warning not to install from ppm for Slackware Pups. Ubuntu Pups not affected.
