bigpup , I should mention that I didn't come here by searching for topics on the PPM. I searched for the error message. This page came up and I started reading the pages trying to learn what I could of the things that might be behind the error. I agree with your point that great care must be used w...

Semme , interesting idea. Thanks. I'll try that. slavvo67 , I didn't realise that. It's a pity, because it mostly worked well in previous incarnations. bigpup , I have to say, I never understood the desire to lock topics. I sometimes comment on other sites where I have a solution to a problem someo...

Bigpup, thank you for your reply, but it has me a little puzzled. I know you are trying to be helpful and not rude, but did you notice that your comment essentially tells me to go away? :) I have been helped by new posts to ancient threads before, and have helped others who have posted to very old t...

GreenGeek , I have exactly the same problem you have with the PuppyPackageManager not letting me install anything because it keeps giving that bogus free space error. Mike Walsh , I'm using BionicPup with a savefile (save directory, actually). I normally do a full install, and have never had a prob...

Wow! Thanks wiak. I really appreciate the feedback. :D It is incredibly rare that anybody comments about my stories. I'd started to think it may be because my writing sucks. So I'm very grateful for the unsolicited positive comment. Thank you. If there is any topic you'd like a story written on, ple...

Great to revisit Studio. I installed Puppy Studio on a few machines. It was impressive. I still have it on one of my machines. (I get given old dead computers which I resurrect and install Puppy Linux on.) Always wanted to buy Studio, but could never really spare the money -- always more pressing de...

works in Puppy lupu 528
Thank you Aragon, for compiling and posting this. I tried and failed to compile it. I'm not sure why. I'm pleased to report that your pet still works in Puppy Lupu 528 (though I had to extract the files from the pet after renaming it as a tgz file and copy the files by hand to their intended places)...

Bruce B, you probably no longer have any need of this, but just in case you or someone else is interested... I think copying over the X font is not enough. I think you have to open a terminal in the directory where the font now is and type these two commands: mkfontdir mkfontscale I believe that set...

The commands in the ImageMagick suite are listed at: https://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-tools.php In version 6 and earlier: animate - animate an image sequence on any X server. compare - mathematically and visually annotate the difference between an image and its reconstruction. composi...

slavvo67, I wanted to thank you for your suggestion about loading a PDF document into LibreOffice in order to convert it to something more useful. I was sent a PDF document by a friend yesterday who was desperate to get it converted (it was an application form for a local group). Using your advice I...

musher0, yes. The netpbm suite is a great old mainstay. It can do some things that nothing else I've found can do, such as converting Amiga icon .info files into .png images. Netpbm is wonderful. Another nice use of netpbm is the very simple text format of some of its old image formats, such as .ppm...

Hmmm... I just checked my version of ImageMagick. It is an older one, 6.6.8-1 (2016-10-29) but it mentions that it features HDRI, so perhaps ImageMagick contained the libIlmImf.so file after all. Maybe you could get it from one of the Ubuntu or Debian archives: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/...

Oh! Just occurred to me, my machine is 32-bit, not 64-bit, so that might be a problem... try it and see. Alternatively you could download the OpenEXR code from their website ( http://www.openexr.com/downloads.html ) and compile it if you have your Puppy devx file installed. It's usually pretty easy....

libIlmImf.so.7 comes from OpenEXR http://www.openexr.com/ OpenEXR is a high dynamic range (HDR) raster file format, released as an open standard along with a set of software tools created by Industrial Light and Magic, under a free software license similar to the BSD license. High dynamic range refe...

slavvo67, thanks for the pets. Also thanks for the information. I'd never heard of Xournal. I'll try LibreOffice for pdfs too. Currently I use Calibre to convert them to something more usable, or as a last resort I extract the text with pdftotext and any images with pdfimages. If the pdf has any vec...
