Kinda Lucid Puppy 006:

http://www.4shared.com/file/7sqsvU0p/klp-006.html

I am in the process of re-uploading this gem from Iguleder.
Done...use the link above.

I hope it works...my first time with 4 Shared.
It takes 20 seconds to start the download.....patience.
I gave it a quick test....seems OK.

glibc upgrade

#103 Post by sindi »

All the links to deb packages for glibc upgrades (to 2.11) that I found in puppy forums are broken. Is there any pet package for a glibc upgrade tested working with 4.2 and/or 4.31 puppy?

Opera 12.10 and later now require glibc 2.8. Opera 12.02 does not but it also does not work with Youtube. 11.52 does, but not very well.

I am using 4.2-based pulp linux with glibc 2.6 - don't recall what 4.31 has.

I like puppy 4 because it works with loadlin, and puppy 5 does not.

It might be worth searching google, or contacting the people who post the package you need.

There's more repositories here too-

I have been using regular 4.3.1, as well as Toutou 4.3.1 and the KDE Puppy 4.3.1 for a while now, and they are quite nice.

I don't think they need a new version or kernel, but there is a lack of software for them, people don't make .pets for 4.3.1 much anymore. And that is often what kills an o.s.

For example, there was at one time a .pet for lmms, and several for Audacity. The links are now gone.

On the other hand, surprisingly, I tried several Wine versions from the repository, and both 1.5.2 for Slacko and 1.5.0 for Lucid actually work fine on Puppy 4.3.1! :D

Software can become unable due to temporary storage. Its always worth asking the person providing it if they can make it available again. 8)

It's probably not worth it, they were pretty old versions.

Incidentally, I tried those Wines again and noticed there is a small bug that in certain places the cursor appears as a big black block. Overall though, they seem to run smoother than the latest 4.3.1 Wine I could find, which is 1.3.2.

This is even more of a reason why some new software should also be compiled for 4.3.1.

Why not use green_dome's Wine builds? The latest build is 1.5.17, and they've always worked great for me in Puppy 4.3.1. :)

Oh yeah, I just tried that, works really well. It doesn't even feel like 4.3.1, it's so fast.

Puppy Linux 5.X has been a great wifi troubleshooting tool for faulty Windows 7 OS issues at the office, but I prefer 431 to any other version as it's been stable. I've also been able to run this over several machines with no issue.


Bring 431 dev back!

Yeah, I've had to go fishing myself for working .pet and .sfs files. I want to put together a special website dedicated to puppy linux 431.

Somebody was running one of those, but I can't remember the address.

Are you referring to this?
(for the most part compatible with 431)

You guys have definitely inspired me to bring something to the front, while I'm still juicing up all the needed stuff for puppy431, I'll definitely bring something up soon with JUST 431 only. That's all I'm using and wish to stick with since I've been able to troubleshoot that pretty well. Just wish there was a dedicated site for ONLY users of my version, it's listed as the most common version used, but no real anything out there. It's the wild west of Linux!

ttuuxx's 4.32 should probably be included, too. It's 4.31 with updated packages, including Seamonkey 2.0 (which gives users many more options for extensions).

Awesome guys!

Get ready!!

http://www.puppylinux431.com


This site will host the files and i'll get an area setup where we can post stuff to help others. I'm going to host all the 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 stuff since they are like alike. I'm just a heavy 4.3.1 user and figured I'd like to store the files for myself and others, plus put some how to's visually I've made up and what others have based of this forum, and inet.

Anyways, I'm excited to at least be able to clear up the hardship of trying to get a nice fast way to learn puppy 4.3.1 without the confusion or long hours of internet searching. I just want to centralize a learning area/ storage files area with nothing but working tested .pets and .sfs files

Check it out, it should be ready and up soon! Then I'll start hosting the files and putting up stuff.

Well done! I subscribe to this thread so let me know if you're missing something, and I'll check my pets, sfs's, etc.
