Symlink to head needed in /bin
libgoffice-0.so.4 needs to be installed.
Make sure busybox is 1.8.2-8

I copied one over from another distro, maybe renaming the symlink head-BB-NOTUSED to just head may do it.

OK, ppl the rumors are true, this pup really IS another one that runs ff 3.5 very fast :)
BTW, downloaded ntfs-3g and libntfs-3g from debian repo and solved ntfs rw issue.

Thanks for the feedback, will put up dpup-476b later today, with the items mentioned above addressed...do you think we should ditch pmusic or not...

Haven't gotten that far yet. Being addicted to compiling nowadays, I'm still stuck at...

Code: Select all

# gunzip linux_kernel-2.6.27.4-dpup.tar.gz

gunzip: linux_kernel-2.6.27.4-dpup.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--format violated
Putting the tarball through XArchiver shows (scroll down to bottom of error message box) "Unexpected EOF in archive", just after

/lib/modules/2.6.27.4/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.ko

is extracted.

G'day,
I tried a frugal install last night and got the red screen found by dejan555.
Kept going of course to a frugal install via the universal installer that presented me with quite a few oddities.
The choice for install my sda or sdb was incomplete - some details blank in dialog box. I clicked the upper line offered - it was in fact sda.
When I got to my partition for the sfs4-requiring Pups (it's sda7 for this computer) and selected this as the install partition, I could not find or mount the live CD to copy the files across (the latest Pups4 installer does let me locate the CD in one of the two optical drives I have). I had to use Pmount to mount the live CD.
Finally got an OK from the universal installer that it was done, so then I added the needed lines to the puppyfrugal.lst that I use for these in grub.
I re-booted - without saving as I do now for first-time frugals - and grub booted into dpup.
dpup started up OK (as a frugal from sda7), but without a Save file, I now needed to enter the keyboard and Xorg settings, plus set a time zone from a list which offers GMT+10 as Guam (but not Sydney or Brisbane???).
Got the drab grey woof display with the bunched up drive icons at the bottom right of the screen so this looked OK and normal, like all other recent woof Pups. Relocated the 30-odd drive icons into two rows and went to reboot.
When I got to set up the Save file section, I was not offered a choice of save file size (usually 512MB). When I looked at the options to proceed with the save file for dpup, the default save file size was -1024MB (yes, MINUS!). Hitting Enter did not create a Save file with this negatively sized Save file so restarting the dpup476 frugal was a repeat of entering keyboard, Guam and Xorg.
So I too have had tlchost's problems with no Save file, and oh yes, no turn-off after "System halted."

I hope my above gun and fames help you find the answers to these frugal install problems. Haven't tried a Full.

G'day,
Not being able to create a save file for the frugal dpup because of what seems like a universal installer problem (see earlier postings), I've copied into the dpup476 sub-directory a save file from the upup476 subdirectory, re-named it to dpup476save, and on re-booting to dpup, it sort of works. Need to go through the Xorg wizard but the keyboard and Guam setting are not recurring.
Copying the other save file brought some of the settings from the upup476 frugal. The boot-loadable sfs4 modules don't seem to have loaded in dpup**, but the network settings (wire and wireless) are up - I'm posting this from the dpup476 frugal.
Dual cores running OK.
Early days.
David S.

**because dpup uses sfs type 3.1!!! Now I'll have to re-install this frugal into my other frugal partition where they share 3.1 sfs files.

I did a manual frugal install which asked me to save session, also for loading sfs's you need to rename them to *_476.sfs that worked too, after first session save on reboot it fired up xorg wizard again though but not again after that.

By all means please ditch Pmusic and pcd, The latest Pburn has a Much improved GUI, and maybe use Bmp, Some might want aqualung with the trimmings, But I just like a simple good sounding player that most users won't have to read a manual to run :) Bmp would be my main choice, If you could find the first dpup release by tronkel, I had packaged/compiled gnome-Mplayer, and a few others. The Gnome-Mplayer played nice fullscreen etc in JWM.
