Gtk-Gnutella 0.96.3 Stable

[Gekko]

This is basically straight from the tarball, except I had to modify the source code and comment out about 5 lines to allow root to run it, stupid people deciding that root isn't allowed to run anything any more, but I digress.

EDIT: Now a .pet and a tar.gz :O
Untar into / for the tar.
Click me for dotpet.
Click me for tarball.

Doesnt work with 2.02, after untarring it to the root / . Is this the correct way to install?

2.02 uses Gtk 2.6, while since 2.10 Gtk 2.8 is used.
Many new programs do not work with Gtk 2.6, as they use new functions like tree-views and such.

To say more, you had to run it from a console, and post the errors here.
If you have luck, just an additional library is missing.

If the problem really is Gtk, you also could upgrade Puppy 2.02 with Gtk 2.8, but backup your personal savefile first, as this is a deep change of your system-libraries.

I get this with the petpkg:

There was an error expanding package gtk-gnutella-0.96.3.tar.gz.
Either the file is corrupted, or has not expanded into its own directory with
name of gtk-gnutella-0.96.3/ (which is how most packages expand).
You will have to go into /root/.packages/ directory and manually clean it up.

This script will now exit...

I tried other versions too no luck. Will try it from the tarball.

Same thing with the tarball. Gnutella worked on simple pup for me now I have 2.15 installed on my hard drive and no clue.

Code: Select all

gksu -u spot 'gtk-gnutella --daemonize'

and

Code: Select all

su - spot -c 'gtk-gnutella --minimized'

works with unmodified binary packages; freely after http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-32 ... 4cf696d14e and https://www.google.com/search?q=kdesu+gtk+equivalent

just su-ing doesnt, even after xhost +localhost and lol xhost +0.0.0.0; and it starts but spinlocks if i gksu it w.o. any arguments. necroposting because this is one of the top results on the web...

tho another problem might affect usage, is that it now complains that its old but 0.98.2 (2011) is the latest in the repo for precise and ppm, with upstream being 1.0.1 (2013 or 4), nominally for ubuntu trusty. nevertheless, i tried grabbing it from launchpad web directly, it seems to be running all right ^^ any1 wants sfs?

any1 wants sfs?

YES!
