Hi radky,

I have just downloaded and installed this. You sure do know how to keep a guy busy trying to keep up with all of your great work that you do. I will try in a couple of days to get all of your apps in my repos.

Thanks :D :D for all of your work

Cheers

- Recommendation: If an older version of PupControl is already installed, please uninstall and remove the old folder (/usr/local/PupControl) before installing the new packages.
Under rerwin's Super Lucid Puppy 2, I uninstalled 'built-in packages' the existing PupControl, and removed the folder as you said.

When I clicked on the new pet, it failed to install.

What can be done to restore PupControl?

Thank you,
Sheldon

The Puppy 'Remove builtin packages' script does not remove all components of the original pet installation. Specifically, residual resource files from old versions of PupControl (prior to version 2.5) will interfere with the new PupControl.

1 - In ROX-Filer (or your current filemanager) please manually delete the /usr/local/PupControl folder.

2 - Deleting the PupControl folder will remove the old resource files, and the new PupControl-2.5 pet should install correctly.

3 - At this point, if the pet does not install correctly, you could download a fresh copy with Pwget or similar utility. In my experience with firefox, direct browser downloads are sometimes unreliable.

Thanks Sheldon! :)

Whew!
Finally it works.
I did all your steps. Had never before used Pwget.

I booted another Puppy to remove the "inode/unknown" PupControl in /usr/local/
After I mounted /mnt/home/SuLu/sulusave-Dec28.2fs

Many thanks.

PupControl-3.0 running in Xenialpup 7.0.1.

Nice improvements.
Seems to be working OK.

Thanks for this program and keeping it updated!!!
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:

Just to be clear, YASSM is a Samba CLIENT tool. It detects and mounts remote Samba shares. The word Manager is usually applied to Samba SERVER tools.

Although PupControl is approaching middle age (in dog years) it supports both old and new Pups, including Xenialpup. :)

Thanks for the clarification rcrsn51, and thanks for your Puppy utilities.

radky,
I am of the impression that you are maintaining PupControl for older pups such as Lucid pup. Is that correct? If so, I am reporting what I see in xerrs.log when I install it in lupu and sulu2:

Code: Select all

/pinstall.sh: line 32: [-d: command not found
grep: /usr/share/applications /usr/local/share/applications/abiword.desktop: No such file or directory
grep: /usr/share/applications /usr/local/share/applications/ALSA-sound-Wizard.desktop: No such file or directory
 . . .  [208 lines]
grep: /usr/share/applications /usr/local/share/applications/yassm-search.desktop: No such file or directory
grep: /usr/share/applications /usr/local/share/applications/yassm-select.desktop: No such file or directory
I don't see in the code where the /usr/local/share/applications directory is referenced. Only the "/pinstall.sh: line 32: [-d: command not found" line might cause a problem. But the others flood the log.

Do I need to fix line 32 of the pinstall script? Or does it fail in a way that has no impact? The "flooding" will not affect Lucid Pup users because they will not need to install PupControl themselves.

rerwin,

I'll prepare a general update and upload in a few hours.

The update will support both old and new Pups, including fixes for the pinstall issues you noted in lupu/sulu.

Thanks

@sheldonisaac,

Most applications, including PupControl, will add content to xerrs.log over time, so the log will grow larger even when all is well in Puppy. The added content often represents simple messages about the status of a given application, with no true error state.

In the case of PupControl, rerwin noted additional content in xerrs.log when running the pinstall script. The excess messaging was secondary to the initial search for .desktop files in the /usrs/local/share/applications directory. This is now fixed (quiet) in PupControl-3.1.

Thanks
