slacko 5.3.3, final
camera fail
Need some pointers to get my camera configured. GTkam doesn't list my Fuji Finepix A-600 the list goes from A-320 to A-800 and above and none work, also tried the ptp usb one with no success. Similar results with Pupcamera. On other OS's I always used Digikam and it worked but I don't see it available anywhere for Slacko. I use camera alot in a side hobby so hope I can find a solution for Slacko. Thanks

digikam is available in the Slackware repos, you need to enable them in PPM configuration. However, it depends on many KDE libraries which are huge. I'll see if there is an update to libgphoto which supports your camera. Finepix are really good cameras in my opinion

01micko, thanks for the reply. I took a quick look but was unable to find Digikam in the Slackware repos... I checked the official,salix,slacko, and the slacko official but did not find it. I assume it requires the glib2 packages plus others. Also looked at gphoto and gphoto2 but couldn't find anything for my camera but not sure I was looking in the right place for it. Look forward to hearing if you turn something up.
On another note I created an ext4 partition on a 8gig flash drive and installed woof in it but when I tried to run 0setup it errors out after a couple of downloads saying I need to change the superblock in the previous download or something like that so I was unable yet to pursue that route till I can figure out what I need to do to fix it. I'm not real clear on the woof and woof2 thing... how many different woofs are there anyway and how do you specify which one you want?. The 0setup started wanting to download what appeared to be some very old puppy stuff and that threw me a curve ball cause I'm not sure if that stuff is even in Slacko. The info I find to use of woof seems outdated but maybe I just don't understand it yet. Anyway thanks for any help you can provide.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Try using Seamonkey menu bar->help->check for updates.gerry wrote:SeaMonkey Out of Date-
Every time I start Seamonkey I get a warning message that says that Seamonkey is out of date and I should "click here" to update it. That does not work- so what should I do? I suppose one can (somehow) update Seamonkey, or PERMANENTLY get rid of the message.
But how?
Try menu bar->Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Software Installation.
Uncheck everything about Seamonkey updating. (any time you want to check for an update, the help->check for updates should work)

Nope, none of that worked.

and Help has no check for updates option.
Hmmm..
The message appears on a red bar under the menu bar, and has a "check for updates" button, nothing happens there either.
Do we have Seamonkey in full, or are bits cut out to make it lighter?

Request for developers understanding users and SFSs, as well

I am very clear on the auguments of Pros and the Cons of SFS versus PET in Puppy Linux packaging, installation, and use.
I, personally, do NOT have any position in either direction; simply, that it just works.
But, this is an appeal for understanding by those who develop subsystems and packages for Puppy.. Please acknowledge the existence of Puppy Package Management and provide a PET as well as an SFS whereever possible for all community members. Some members do not have sufficient skill levels to understand SFS use in PUppy distros,
Hope this helps

What I have done is actually very simple. In fact the only renaming I did was as a precaution. I renamed (rather than deleting) the existing seamonkey directory in /usr/lib (which is the old version) to seemonkeyold in case there was any problem and I needed to restore back (which I didn't - it has worked OK on 2 machines running Slacko 5.3.3 so I have now deleted).gerry wrote:Oscar- there must be a simpler way!
I downloaded.
I unpacked (in /tmp).
Where does the renaming come in?
And do I have to go through /usr/lib/seamonkey/ and check each file against the unpacked one, and replace the old by the new one if they are different?
The downloaded tarball unpacks as a single directory named seamonkey (so does not need renaming). This can be done anywhere. After the rename just move the new directory into /usr/lib so it replaces the renamed one. No need to do anything with the files inside it.
I guess you could say all you need to do is download (to /mnt/home or /root), delete (seamonkey folder from /usr/lib), unpack (to /usr/lib).
You will find that features such as automatic and manual updates and the crash reporter are now included. Profile information such as bookmarks and settings are not lost because they are stored elsewhere.
