Making progress . can now build a sane lo-4.0 sfs but need to fix .desktop files. Then I'll look at the RAM code to see where that breaks down.. maybe a new version later today.

I have also moved the "default" file code (eg: "defaultwordprocessor, defaultspreadsheet" etc) from the pinstall.sh (now not needed) which created files in /usr/local/bin, now the files exist in the sfs at /usr/bin. There are big advantages to this in that the pinstall.sh is gone now and when you unload the sfs you get your original defaults back, tested working fine.

LATER;

v 0.22 is out

see main post

I didn't check RAM based install but there was a bug, should be fixed. You would notice it if you had no swap.

Hmmm... I just tested on my laptop with 1G RAM, 1G swap USB install and it builds ok. It should do a check for over 2GB RAM and no swap and run, I simulated that (as I have swap on all machines) and the code stands up.

Try 0.23 I made minor adjustments, should work , if not, please post the output from commandline, it may be elsewhere that the code breaks.

You should see similar to this:

@micko,

023 is good,
did everything it was supposed to, and as a bonus, I didn't have to look at a horrible orange download window. Thanks for the greens.

Very pleased with LO4.

later:
I spoke too soon.
The SFS loads and runs fine in Precise,
Not in Lucids or Slackos.

Bummer.

[tlchost]

Yea!

.23 works fine with 5.4 and 5.4.02

Thanks!!

Thom, good

koolie, xz compressed? lupu will fail, but it might build in lupu (gz compressed). Slacko-531-4g versions are also gz compression compat only.

[majorfoo]

Built in Lupu-528-005 gz compressed sfs. Also converted to gz.pet
installed pet and working great

New libreoffice feature, uses firefox personas, you don't need firefox installed..

(no, I don't have too much time on my hands!)

[kooliepup]

Just got 5.4.1 beta.
Hey, you are really achieving something there.
Fastest booting Puppy in my kennel.

My LO4-xz works great in it.

Happy, happy, happy.


You just edited your previous post while I was doing this.
You DO have too much time on your hands.
You must be at work.

Great stuff, I managed to install LibreOffice 4 on Slacko 5.3.1

Which came just in time to help with an application form in MS .doc format. It included checkboxes / tickboxes that would save properly in Libre 3.5.3

Many thanks ; -)

I have been using the several latest versions of LibreOffice through 3.6.4. No problems.

I tried 4.0 several times without success using get LO 0.23. The help download (yellow), and program download (green) are successful but I get a red screen saying something like ”sorry, constructing LibreOffice failed.”

I am using PreciseNop-5.4.3, which works perfectly in every other known respect. Does this problem have something to do with the xz/gz compression mentioned above in this thread? Afraid that's beyond me to answer. I have 2G ram and 396 Mb free in the save file.

Thanks for any advice, although I'm sure I could live without LO 4.0 for quite a while

[vovchik]

Dear all,

01micko's downloader works great on Lucid - and LO 4.0 works just fine. Many thanks, Mick.

With kind regards,
vovchik

[01micko]

Thanks vovchik for report

-----------------------

Henry, I'm not sure why it would fail in precise-NOP. If you get the inclination and have the spare bandwidth could you please try to run get_libreoffice in a terminal please and report the error messages. TIA.

With the next version I think I'll have to add some logging for debugging.
