PPM happily finds cinelerra in Puppy5 official.

Test URLs gives a string of 200s but Download comes back 'Not available'

Updating and restarting doesn't fix it.

Can someone please verify?

Tia, Cheerio.

If you need cinelerra download it from:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-5/

Have you updated packages in PPM? The above link works.

Thanks Watchdog,

I can download directly OK, that copy is a couple of versions stale but will be fine for my purposes.

But PPM still won't play ball - that's what I meant by 'Updating and restarting doesn't fix it.'

Can someone try fetching Cinelerra via PPM in case it's a general problem and not just me?

Cheerio,

I see that precise 5.7.1 is using kernel 3.9.11. Why ? Research curiosity only; absolutely nothing confrontational or demanding. I appreciate all the efforts that have gone into Puppy Linux !

I have a project in mind and want stability so I'm making a tool chain with Ubuntu 12.04.x LTS in mind. Looking over Puppy I was happy to see a release for Precise which is the Ubuntu label for 12.04.x LTS. This looked great so I can do some things in both distributions under the the theory if I make a .deb in the Ubuntu environment with the same kernel and gnu tool chain I should be able to just install it in puppy precise 5.7.1. When confirming versions for my tool chain I notice the Ubuntu kernel is 3.8.x

Further digging sees that kernel 3.9.11 is an end of life release and for Ubuntu "Saucy" 13.10 though the Ubuntu Saucy release I looked over is using kernel 3.12 ?

What was involved in the decisions to not use the regular Precise kernel version ? I plan on using OpenCL and restricted video drivers that build off the kernel sources so am concerned about getting my tool chain right for that. I've also posted a question in the beginner board about not being able to complete a woof2 5.7.1 build out-of-the-box.

Thanks all for the opportunity to work with this neat distribution. Appreciate any thoughts and pointers !

Hello !

OCI (one click installer) is a simplified method to install the operating system on first hard drive http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=89050

To help you discover the application, I created a few video tutorials: three are devoted to Precise Puppy 5.7.1 => https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVJPHAS24wYa5E83IGXLvVi5g5yL6ozRQ

Can anyone here tell me how to get precise to sleep, suspend and hibernate?

Cheers

Hello Shinobar,

I tried to run your acpid-busibox-2.pet package in a French Racy Puppy 5.5, but the process after pressing the "Suspend" button stops during the process.
Do you know why?

Cordialement, Wink
