racy522
acer travelmate 4670, 1.6GHz dual core, 1GB ram
startup: video ok, wifi ok, flash ok, shiny!

only one problem:
compiling Vim does not find gtk,
so compiles the X11-Athena GUI
rather than the gtk GUI.
It is ok, but not as good.

All other compiled apps ok.

It won't run on my 700M Dell because the Pent.M cpu is for
400mhz FSB and doesn't support PAE.

On a Dell D610 the Pent. M cpu is 533mhz FSB and works great.

It failed to see a driver for the internal wireless card.
Loaded the b43-pcmcia module and it worked fine.

Hard info didn't show any temperature info in sensors;
Installed "rcrsn51's" cpu-temp.pet, works good.

edit;

Full install can't see usb wireless dongle (zd 1211rw).
Live cd and frugal did.

flsynclient

Selecting any 'calibrate' trackpad crashes racy to the cli.

Typing 'xwin' will restart racy.


wary flsynclient NO crash

'calibrate' does NOT crash wary to the cli.
but just like racy522, two finger or side scrolling do not work.

Using Racy 5.2.2 from DVD. Everything seems OK. Very happy with how easy the set up was.

I used the package manager to download 'fullerscreen' and it is not compatible with the Seamonkey version.

Also in Seamonkey have in preferences used the mouse wheel setting as a zoom and it is not as smooth as say in Slacko (it may need ATI crystal graphics - not sure)

Ah yes - there is a data manager in Seamonkey - that looks interesting (under tools)

Hopefully will be testing on at least one 64bit laptop later, running from USB

Many thanks

I have tried Mplayer to view back files and find that it does not do display the content fullscreen, tried xvid, x264 etc - however this is not a problem with Wary 5.2.2.

[aarf]

racy fixed no more disappearing windows
starts ok when pupsave is there.
lupufy (may be superfluous by adds may good things)

of course you also need /mnt/sdb3/opera-next-11.50-1040.i386.linux with latest libflashplayer.so parked on that same (sdb3) partition.

at prompt

Code: Select all

#startx openbox

may have to start

Code: Select all

#fbpanel

only once.

Hi,

I tried installing (german) language file for Seamonkey 2.3.1 in Racy, but on mozila-project the links are broken. Knows anybody a running source to get the *.xpi file(s)?

cmus is an amazing music player.
http://cmus.sourceforge.net/

Note: current version is:
cmus-v2.4.2.tar.bz2, released 24.07.2011
Tried to compile, but pulse audio missing and
I do not know how to install it.

So... installed cmus-2.3.3-w5.pet from PPM.

Starting cmus:
cmus: Error: libavformat.so.52: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is installed:
/usr/lib/libavformat.so.53
/usr/lib/libavformat.so.53.13.0

Checked wary514 and it has libavformat.so.52
cmus runs with NO error.

[broomdodger]

I found cmus 2.4.2 pet:
http://www.smokey01.com/coolpup/
cmus-2.4.2-w-20111002.pet

It installs without errors.
More later.

Thanks for all this Puppy work! I enjoy using it on my old computer (which I work with daily).

Claws-Mail is an essential piece of software for me. I tried to get the latest version work. So far, no success. Before I will describe the installation steps I tried, isn't is easy for someone who compiles the Puppy if there is a T2 package available of claws-mail ( http://www.t2-project.org/packages/claws-mail.html )?

How can this be achieved to have an update Claws-Mail working with Puppy? If there would be easy steps to follow (mentioning really all the steps including any tiny command, I would be happy to learn to do it as well. )

With Lucy based Puppies I installed the debs and the libraries to make claws-mail work. With Racy I get the error message:

claws-mail: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by claws-mail)

Before that, I installed claws-mail_3.7.10-1ubuntu1~ppalucid0ubuntu1_i386.deb and
libetpan15_1.0-1lucidubuntu4_i386.deb. In racy all the following additional packages where requested on startup of claws-mail (here ordered alphabetically, not in order of request):

libbluetooth3_4.60-0ubuntu8_i386.deb
libcompfaceg1_1.5.2-5_i386.deb
libdb4.8_4.8.24-1ubuntu1_i386.deb

libsasl2-2_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu1_i386.deb
libtasn1-3_2.4-1_i386.deb

However, the last error message was the one mentioned above (claws-mail: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by claws-mail)).

Just installed tonight on 4 gig pendrive. Runs fast. Runs good.

Learned Something. Don't install user agent switcher and flash downloader for seamonkey in Racy puppy package manager. It breaks the symlink ,(at least for me), in /usr/bin/seamonkey which in turn breaks the /usr/bin/mozzila symlink also.

Took me a few to hunt down and see why browser icon and menu icons quit.

Code: Select all

#which seamonkey

Did not return anything, like /usr/bin/seamonkey.

Fixed it by uninstalling both installed ppm installs first. Then deleted /usr/bin/seamonkey symlink and created new symlink from /usr/lib/seamonkey 2.3.2/seamonkey ,(made it absolute), which fixed the broken /usr/bin/mozilla symlink also.

Browser Desktop Icon works again after that. Menu internet entries work again also.

Turned off Tap because I haven't figured out yet how to edit sensitivity good enough yet either. All my functions like 2 finger tap=middle click worked OK. My mouse though had a mind of it's own though like a mexican jumping bean.

Copying personal save file on ntfs partition throws this error

Code: Select all

Copying /mnt/home/racysave-racy1st.2fs as /mnt/sda3/Users/harry/Pupsave/racysave-racy1st.2fs
cp: preserving permissions for

/mnt/sda3/Users/harry/Pupsave/racysave-racy1st.2fs': Operation not supported
Failed to copy '/mnt/home/racysave-racy1st.2fs'

Done
There was one error. 

Tried a fix suggested from 01micko that he uses in slack0 in line 52 in /bin/mount.

Code: Select all

ntfs-3g $CMDPRMS -o umask=0 2>/tmp/ntfsmnterr${MYPID}.txt #hacked for spup

But did not work and threw a different error

Code: Select all

The ntfs-3g driver was unable to mount the NTFS
partition and returned this error message:
Failed to write lock '/dev/sda3': Resource temporarily unavailable
Error opening '/dev/sda3': Resource temporarily unavailable
Failed to mount '/dev/sda3': Resource temporarily unavailable

So, the inbuilt kernel NTFS driver has been used
to mount the partition read-only.

I brought /bin/mount back to stock and just copied the save file (192MB) to a fat32 external pendrive instead for now.

This post mostly copied , but edited from :

http://puppylinux.info/topic.php?id=32

Since I have posted there I have installed Gnome-Mplayer and GogglesMM.sfs (thanks Billtoo). Useragent Switcher,FlashDownloader,WOT,Adblock, addons in Seamonkey 2.3.1 also.

[Sage]

Ha! Been asking for Claws for a while. One kind soul tried to help me with Claws but it didn't work. Only use Claws & EudoraOSE. There's .pet s for the latter (just sent my copies to 01micko for smokey01 website). Otherwise use Claws in Mint!

[ttuuxxx]

I did post this on Barry's blog but maybe he missed it,
I tried compiling metacity, libcanberra, and even lxtask, And nothing would compile, I had hundreds of lines of Gseal errors in each, Here's the link to the sources that failed to compile.

http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/lib ... .28.tar.gz

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/ ... .1.tar.bz2

http://sourceforge.net/projects/lxde/fi ... z/download

I think gtk2 needs to be patch and recompiled for the Gseal errors,

I've made Right-click compatible to Slacko and Racy so the menu
options should all work.

@Sage: Thanks for your comment.

Actually, I have claws-mail working in lucid based puppy ( nowadays Puppy 5.28 and macpup 5.28 ) after having downloaded claws-mail packages from the Ubuntu ppa one by one and adding in one or the other library from the package manager in puppy. Someday earlier, I also went through the process of compiling it in Puppy itself. Both steps are rather lengthy. Thus, I hoped that the T2 package is more straight forward to get it going.

I do like the look and feel of racy though. And in racy wireless internet worked out of the box, which was not the case for me in Wary.

Thanks for all this Puppy work! I enjoy using it on my old computer (which I work with daily).

However, the last error message was the one mentioned above (claws-mail: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by claws-mail)).

If you want to install .deb packages from Ubuntu, get them from an older release of Ubuntu.
Or, Debian Squeeze should be ok.

You are trying to install packages compiled for a later version of glibc.

[seacyd]

Thank your for your hint.

I successfully installed a very basic (without any plugins) claws-mail 3.7.10 with the debian packages:

claws-mail_3.7.10-2_i386.deb, libbluetooth2_3.36-1_i386.deb, libcompfaceg1_1.5.2-4_i386.deb, libcurl3-gnutls_7.18.2-8lenny5_i386.deb, libdbus-1-3_1.2.1-5+lenny2_i386.deb, libdbus-glib-1-2_0.76-1_i386.deb, libetpan15_1.0-5_i386.deb, libgcrypt11_1.4.1-1_i386.deb, libgnutls26_2.12.14-3_i386.deb, libgnutls26_2.8.5-2_i386.deb, libgpg-error0_1.4-2_i386.deb, libldap-2.4-2_2.4.11-1+lenny2.1_i386.deb, libpisock9_0.12.3-5_i386.deb, libsasl2-2_2.1.22.dfsg1-23+lenny1_i386.deb

When claws-mail requested the missing libdb-5.1.so, I found
libdb5.1_5.1.25-11_i386.deb. There a link was required: ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdb-5.1.so /usr/lib/libdb-5.1.so

liblockfile1_1.08-3_i386.deb, libtasn1-3_1.4-1_i386.deb, libkrb53_1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-5lenny6_i386.deb, libkeyutils1_1.2-9_i386.deb

So, if somebody would like to join in getting claws going I am more than happy to provide a head start sending over all the individual deb files (5.6MB). They should also be free to distribute I assume being based on Debian, so I could also upload them somewhere.
---

Regarding the glibc error with the ubuntu files. I used Lucid files from the ppa. These claws-mail files work fine in 5.28. In racy I also got the same error message when installing umplayer with qt4 from pemasu's polarpup.

I made a pet of Seamonkey 2.5 and tested it in wary 5.2.2 and racy 5.2.2

Thanks again Billtoo. What was nice is it kept the launchers stock like browse ,and menu internet seamonkey lauchers also, without having to edit anything.

Just install and go.

Same thanks for don570

I've made Right-click compatible to Slacko and Racy so the menu
options should all work.

Works just fine in Racy 5.2.2.
