does it have gcalctool, calculator? did you get rid of a window manager?

Yes and no

We thought about it--it's only 1MB or less though, and we might have gotten there without removing a wm.

It is a static package aragon made. I was using yours but I had a problem with the "navigation" area, back and forward arrows, url bar, etc, disappearing. when it loaded a page. We also used your p7zipxz combo along with an unrar pet so we have good coverage in pupzip. Linux people have a lot of use for compression and it irritates me to have to download a new decompression program to deal with one file. So we should be in good shape.

Thanks.

Needed a break from the fun of reinstalling Windows 7 so........ downloading 244.

At the time of typing, the newest version of Pidgin in PPM is 2.76 whereas the version that comes with Luci 243 is 2.77.

ahhh the one he compiled using 4.31 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 13&t=52534
that makes sense fltk did have some issues in 5.2 when compiling it statically. good to see 5.2 can still use some 4 series compiled apps

The partview pet I uploaded was originally the wrong one! I fixed that but apparently too late. This one has the splash at the top showing the version info. The name is different, it will run ok in any Puppy so I dropped the lucid suffix, and added '-1' to distinguish it from Ecube's original. BTW, his original is untouched except for the few lines at the top calling the version info.

Cheers

Yes. It will be 2.7.7. Here's the deal. I could have built luci-244 *one more time* and included 2.7.7 in the Packages-puppy-lucid-official file, or I could have shipped it like it was--I shipped it like it was

Tell you what, I'll do it now, and if you update databases in PPM after about an hour and then download from ibiblio you can get it. Or, duh, I could just post a link, eh?

Something I did probably. I kind of remember the splash at the top. I have got it now though.

Right decision, you'd probably have found something else you've forgotten after doing that.

I won't be burning the disc until tomorrow anyway so there's no rush.

Speaking of package databases, processing the Ubuntu ones takes a while on my K6 2 500 even having done a full install of Lupu 511. Is it possibly to copy the ones that I download and process on the Pentium D to the other machine?

Thanks for again a great OS, I've enjoyed testing it even with the problems I've been having with the new apps on the K6.

Downloaded and installed 244 FRUGAL (Lin'N'Win)
I still have the copy problem, but I discovered it happens only when copying to a ntfs partition. Copying to a vfat doesn't show those errors.
But in any case, in spite of the error indications, the files are ok to use.

I personally be the K6 is not going to run Lucid 5.2--I would love to be proved wrong. I bet Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick won't run either. I would bet on a big library that quite a few programs need is now i686. But that's just a guess. I'd say Wary and Lucid 5.1.1 for that old guy. I had one myself--bought it in Fall '99.

Did you give a command in the terminal like cp -a /mnt/sda1/ blah blah blah? And the disk you were copying to was ntfs and you saw those errors?

1.40 in the morning, I should be sleeping, but couldn't resist downloading and having a quick look at 244..

First impression: wonderful! Everything seems to work and work well!
Mp3, MP4, DVD-movie:, Flash, all perfect.

I think I've seen that mystery browser before

Dillo doesn't like going out on the internet? I didn't really try hard..

Writing from the Chromium 7 in PPM.

This puppy feels fast again.

Playdayz and MIck, Thank you very much! Great work

Bugs tomorrow

I suspect that some of the developers for Ubuntu Maverick have taken the opportunity of the new OS version to abandon the K6 series. Not to worry, I've done a full install of Lupu 5.1.1 on it and it's running beautifully. I have also installed some of the newer pets from Luci that do work on it.

The main thing is that the latest Opera does work which is a damned sight better than browsing on the Win98 side - where it's only got IE6!

That's more or less when I think mine was built. It's a Time 300 series I got from a colleague who was scrapping it. Finding Win98 drivers was a complete pain as few manufacturers (the ones still trading, anyway) had Win98 drivers available from their sites. By contrast, Lupu 5.0 booted straight up from the Live CD.

Thanks to both of you, that'll save a lot of time!

Yes, but now someone would have to really work to do any browsing with it.

Jades · #2380 Post by **Jades** » Fri 10 Dec 2010, 01:19

Pidgin 2.7.7 seemed to install OK on the K6 and it loaded up. Looks promising. I'll know if it works for sure in the afternoon when I carry the machine to the internet connection!

Thanks again.
