I played with teamviewer and wine and skype and found some incompatibilities.

1. Incompatibility between different wine versions:

The official TeamViewer package contains wine 1.6 modules that are incompatible with newer wine versions. I promise a fix or at least a workaround. So, I updated the wine version from 1.6 to 1.7.21 in my Teamviewer package. Downloadable from my storage site as http://smokey01.com/gjuhasz/packages/teamviewer-10w17.pet Now its wine version aligns with http://smokey01.com/gjuhasz/packages/wine_puli_wdt-1.7.21.pet. Now you can use them together.
I also created a "bare" TeamViewer package that does not work in standalone mode but co-operates the wine package without unnecessary duplicates installed. Will share it after a few days of testing.

2. Incompatibility between different TeamViewer versions:

There is a king size Chrome extension available, it is practically TeamViewer 1.8 and does not need wine. I ran a quick test but did not find voice connection feature there. Same for earlier TeamViewers. Some of them allow the connection with another version but cannot control the remote desktop. Others simply say that "Old Version, please update". Others are OK but no voice connection allowed or even crash when tried.

3. Skype (in)compatibility:

I learnt that Skype compatibility (better saying: pulseaudio capability) is available in Teamviewer 1.7.55 and later versions only.
I think I can have a fix for this in a few days.


Have fun!

I got a PM from a friend.

[gjuhasz]

Another package does not contain Wine at all.

http://smokey01.com/gjuhasz/packages/teamviewer-11bare.pet

Works, however, if you have wine 1.7.21 co-installed, e.g., wine_puli_wdt-1.7.21.pet - also from http://www.smokey01.com/gjuhasz/packages/)

Tested in Puli

Have fun!

1. I have both of these in my /mnt/sdb1/packages folder with the necessary settings in the /mnt/sdb1/profiles/Common/smartload file, so they auto-load during Startup.
I sent you a PM quoting the "failure to load" warning displayed during Startup.
WINE is working OK.

2. I started a Puli session, and ran TeamViewer-11, noted my ID & Password [rebooted into Slacko because I didn't have an email client set up in Puli but had Thunderbird set up in Slacko] and sent you my ID & Password from Slacko.

3. Discovered that once I rebooted back into Puli, the ID & Password had changed [I need to find out in detail how TeamViewer works], so your attempt to connect to my PC failed.
Is it necessary or not to set up a TeamViewer account, and log in at the beginning of a session?

4. I had Skype running, was logged in, mic and headphones worked OK, and I could see your text being typed on my screen, but it seemed that you couldn't see the text I was typing in reply.
So I need to get some practise [not practice] on Skype also, to learn in detail how it works.

5. Which info to post here, and which to send in PM's, or emails?

Hi,

For those cannot get powerapplet_tray working, I referenced it in xbatalarm.
Among other changes, I applied new icons and forced the right one to appear in the tray.
Changed the default alarm level to 10%.
Tested in Puli, probably works for other puppies, too.

As powerapplet_tray is a built-in feature in Puli, it is excluded from the attached pet package.
The full version is uploaded with my other post, see http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=100492&start=12

Have fun!

Edit on Jan 28: xbat-p.pet uploaded again after some bugfix

Hi,

A new vulnerability in the OpenSSH client was detected yesterday. It affects all versions of the program, from 5.4 to 7.1. The detected bug (CVE-2016-0777) allows an attack leading to a leakage of the private key.

While patches and updates are being rolled out for affected distributions, the feature causing this security issue can be disabled manually in order to resolve the issue. This can be done by adding a line to your SSH configuration. Edit your /etc/ssh/ssh_config file as follows:

1. Find the line that contains Host * (in the default ssh.config, this is Line 19)

2. Just after this line, create a new one with the following content:

Completed steps 1 to 6 in the post immediately above.

Any way to test that it's working?
Or is this a silly question?

As it is written in the bug description, this vulnerability is related to a non-public feature of the OpenSSH client.

So, there there should be some lines

Dear Puli users,

Just FYI...

the newly discovered Linux kernel vulnerability (CVE-2016-0728) is unable to impact (any version of) Puli operated either in the Crazy or the Lazy security profiles.

I compiled netsurf 3.4

Download link:

http://smokey01.com/gjuhasz/packages/netsurf-3.4.pet

Runs fine in Puli. Probably works with most of 32-bit puplets, too.


Have fun!

PROBLEM
1. Used a 2nd Puppy to copy the Netsurf pet file into the Puli Packages folder, and added a "netsurf" entry in the .../profiles/Common/smartload file.
Then rebooted to Puli.

2. During the loadup...
I could see that netsurf was being loaded ok.
But then...

3. A warning was given in red that additional packages were failing to load.

4. Once into Puli there was no sign of Netsurf being available.

OK...
The new pet file works OK.
