(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Semme, don't worry about me, you've been nice.
I try to solve it myself I don't want to disturb you further.

The maintainer of that PPA probably compiled everything to be used as a complete set. Like most programs, especially one Python based, well, updating bits and pieces is sketchy @ best. Good to see the updated version is there, but, getting the whole shebang to work again.... hmmmpf!

OK Semme, I understood you were very polite and I learned something new, thank you Semme.

Good Sonia. Anytime..

I am sorry that it is so complex to make it work onionshare 2.2 as I have read that it allows many additional functions compared to the release found in PPM which however works to transfer files to 'anonymous'. Sin.

Sonia, why not take a crack @ compiling it yourself?

Hey! Look >> https://github.com/micahflee/onionshare ... Onionshare

dear semme, I am ignorant and do not know Linux. Now I try to research how it is compiled; but I have doubts about my abilities.
however, I try to follow the suggestion.
wait i watch link.
tks Semme

If your OnionShare is still 2.2, install this and reload.

Installed but don't work

Yeah, didn't think it'd be THAT easy. But here Sonia, I want you to read these..

Puppy makes things harder with its half-assed, incomplete support for Python, but if you start with a standard commercial-grade Python package such as the free ones from ActiveState, you will have no problem adding on 3rd-party packages.

I agree BTW. It would be nice if Quickpet included an ActiveState script or SFS.

Still, it's not that complicated to get it set up for use with Pup.

Semme, I also found here: https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/20.04/ubuntu-mu ... l.deb.html
that I miss (two) of these pre-requisites for onionshare 2.2; now I read what you have indicated to me then I try to search in the PPM if I find the missing ones.
see you later
