Pithos installed from package manger doesn't work in Puppy 8

I downloaded pithos with the package manager on a new install of puppy 8. When I select it to run nothing happens. Any ideas?

Thanks, I did not realize how to add/ save bookmarks in pupradio. Pmusic stops sometimes when I press stop and other times not. I have been trying various media players so maybe some other program is creating a conflict. This will work for me. Thanks

I thought 5.7.1 was the latest

I'm not sure Puplayer works but only seems to handle 8 preset channels. Pmusic works but the stop function does not stop the player. Music even continues after closing Pmusic. Putting the PC to sleep does stop it. I started to load clementine but it has 35 or more dependencies to load and that seems...

"For those m3u's on Sky, rt-clk and "save as" to your newly created "radio" folder. From here, rt-clk one and choose to set the run action. With this window open, take ROX to /usr/bin and drag gnome-mplayer into your window." You lost me on this part. I have a "sky...

That seems to work.

In Mplayer I get to go to the text file, it steps through each url doing something. But, when clicked, it shows loading for a second and then goes right to idle.

Is there another "channel" like sky that does work maybe with Pupradio? I can't get anything to work with that or Pmusic. When I try Pmusic, it appears to load a radio station list but nothing appears.

I have Precise 5.7.1. SkyFM is one I would like to use. I can logon but get lost at "hit the gear". I'm really more of a beginner so maybe should have posted there. Can you dumb down the procedure? Thanks!!

Thanks for the response but can you dumb down the instructions a little? I assumed I could see a \root folder in the ROX file manager but I don't. I also don't see a desktop folder. I did show the hidden folders.

Icon for Script File?

I want to create an icon driven sleep command. I found the script needed but how do I make this a function driven by an icon? http://208.109.22.214/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=74878&sid=10841ef25465f46287510d98fd2acce8 It would also be nice to have a "time inactive" driven sleep function too...

Suspend function or other for noisy fan?

I'm trying Wary 5.5 on an old HP lap top. The lap top has a really noisy cooling fan. (At least, I believe it is a fan.) The fan stays on even when the screen saver is on and the system is idle. Does Puppy have any kind of timed suspend function or something else that I could activate to get rid of ...

It is 2.6.2 and it can jut be at google or any other spot. I have not activated a firewall. I can just close it but it would be nice if I did not have to.

Seamonkey locks up when not attended

When I leave Seamonkey opened on my unattended computer, the system locks up requiring a physical power down to restart. I'm not sure how long it has to sit before this occurs but guess 12 hours to 2 days. This has happened with 4.3.1, Wary 5.0 and 5.3. I'm running with no hard drive and the save fi...

I gave Wary 5.3 a try. As soon as it gets a network connection, it prompts to load Flash Player.
