tahrpup 6.0.5 CE

[sapt]

I heard that pidgin had new support in reconnecting to facebook chat (facebook purple, i suppose). Please tell me where i can get the plugin and how to assemble it into pidgin....

[Pelo]

A brand new user asked for a gnome version of Tahrpup. It seems that Puppy Linux don't have any gnome version since Jejy69 choose LXDE. Perhaps i am wrong..
In fact he miss Nautilus.

Thanks Phil for your Tahrpup, it works fine on my old EeePC 901.

Are you perhaps referring to this?

https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/wiki

I'm not sure how well it handles the latest Facebook changes, but it's supposed to be rolled into the next major version of Pidgin, whenever that is to be released.

If you can't wait, you can compile it yourself, but you'll need to compile it against the Pidgin source. I'm not aware of anyone having released compiled binaries.

Hi,
Tas doesn't work because ffmpeg and some libraries lack.
I put together ffmpeg_2.5.2, libass5, libfdk-aac, libx265 in a pet and a sfs and it works fine.
ffmpeg is needed by pmusic and it's ok also for pmusic and a lot of other things.
Pet (32 MB)
SFS

Some linnux experts tell me that you can choose ffmpeg as defaut when building the ISO. that will get our life easier, lot of applications need ffmpeg in Puppy Linux, the Linux small OS ready to use for the family entertainment. Only administrators now can use it ! To be root does not mean prevent newbies using Puppy applications

Is there a working youtube downloader for tahr?

I usually use savefromnet addon in firefox to download it. We can go to here:http://en.savefrom.net/user.php and goto very bottom of that page to install it. I also use downthemall too

[backi]

Hi !
"I usually use savefromnet addon in firefox to download it " .

Yes Lazy Puppy ...that`s true .......i do highly recommend this addon ...it even let you download content which is blocked in Germany because of GEMA.....
without the need of a Proxy .. .

[666philb]

[quote="u2tahr"]

there is a qt5-5.5.1.sfs in the repo ....uninstall the older one first.
then in a terminal type

Code: Select all

sfsget

this qt5 installs to /opt so you'll need to add to /etc/profile

Code: Select all

if [ -d "/opt/qt5" ];then
	LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/qt5/lib"
	[ -d /opt/qt5/bin ] && PATH="$PATH:/opt/qt5/bin" #if devx sfs.
	export QT5DIR="/opt/qt5"
	[ -d /opt/qt5/include ] && export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH="/opt/qt5/include" #devx

Hi all,

Just wanted to followup here on "scsijon" 's warning about Firefox 46 suddenly needing GTK-3 instead of python in order to make it work. See here:

www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=106656

Phil posted to just install GTK-3 from the PPM, and I did that and can confirm Firefox is all happy again & working correctly (posting this using Firefox 46.0 & Tahr64 after just updating it).


I just have two questions for Phil (or anyone who knows more about these things), when I typed "GTK-3" in PPM, it brought back these 5 choices:

1. libgtk-3-0_3.10.8

2. libgtk-3-bin_3.10.8

3. libgtk-3-common_3.10.8

4. liggtk-3-dev_3.10.8

5. libgtk-3-doc_3.10.8

Question 1:
Was I correct in installing #s 1-3? (when I did this, I was informed number 3 was already installed in Tahr64 6.0.5)?

Question2:
And, since I've never truly understood the description in Linux of when packages are "dev" or "doc" or "common" (I understand what "exe" ones are when I see them in the PPM), but are we supposed to install every package we see in PPM when we type in something like libgtk-3? What I mean is, should I have also installed the "dev" and "doc" packages, numbers 4 & 5 above, too?

Sorry for the dumb questions. Also, I just wanted to give thanks to you, Phil, (and anyone else responsible for the Tahrs). Tahr64 (along with all of Barry's iterations over the years of puppy & now his excellent Quirkys, and Micko's Slackos) is just a blast to use across the different machines we have around the house. To be able to walk up to any of our computers, toss in the Tahr & have them all bootup--in under a minute no less (this is true even on one of ancient rigs we still have) it is just sublime and wonderful. So, just wanted to thank you for making and upkeeping one of the top puppies out there.....even my kid & wife, over the past months, have started grabbing the Tahr USBs and/or SDs (and recently Barry's new Quirky) as they grown sick of Window's and Apple's hoop jumping one has to go through to just use those operating systems.

For what it's worth, I've been installing the same 3 GTK-3 packages in all my Tahr installs, no need for the development or documentation packages. Or, at least I haven't ran into any problems yet.

@LazY Puppy,
There is still old code in the "init" script that is not aware that with a "huge" kernel, the contents of "/lib/modules" is in the zdrv and hence simply not available.

[LazY Puppy]

My cause to make this post was not the issue of /lib/modules/3.14.20.

The reason for my post is the sh: -d: unknown operand and the sh: 1: unknown operand. That's why I marked them in red colour.

The sh means: it is a shell script that seems to use an unknown operand.

I wonder if this may have any negative effect to the shell script that is using this unknown operand?

However: I think it would be hard to find out what scripts are using these unknown operands. Probably a Woof-CE issue/problem?

[gyro]

@LazY Puppy,

Sorry, I realise it's a while since you posted, but I've just had a similar error "sh: 5: unknown operand".
It was result of the following script code:

Code: Select all

if [ $PUPMODE -eq 5 ];then

The $PUPMODE variable was empty, resulting in the code becoming

Code: Select all

if [  -eq 5 ];then

hence producing the error.
The "-d" one is probably due to a test for a directory where the unquoted variable that was supposed to contain the directory name was empty.

There is a problem with how palemoon is called in tahrpup 6.0.5.

if I use the command defaultbrowser the following script is executed:

/usr/bin/palemoon

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
   APP='/usr/bin/palemoon.bin'
#script to run $APP as spot...
ARGS=""
[ "$1" ] && while [ "$1" ]; do ARGS="$ARGS \"$1\""; shift; done
if [ $(id -u) -eq 0 ]; then
 [ $XAUTHORITY ] && cp $XAUTHORITY /root/spot/.Xauthority 2>/dev/null
 touch /root/spot/.Xauthority
 #following line is mostly there to catch any root:root files that may have got copied in...
 find /root/spot \( -not -user spot -or -not -group spot \) -exec chown -h spot:spot {} \; &
 export XAUTHORITY=/root/spot/.Xauthority  
 export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/root/spot/.config
 export XDG_CACHE_HOME=/root/spot/.cache
 export XDG_DATA_HOME=/root/spot/.local/share
 exec su spot -s /bin/sh -c "\"$APP\" $ARGS"
else #precaution
 exec "$APP" "$ARGS"
fi

Which then executes:

/usr/bin/palemoon.bin

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
/opt/palemoon/palemoon /usr/share/doc/home.htm &
palemoon2

which then executes:
/usr/bin/palemoon2

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
rm /usr/bin/palemoon
ln -s /opt/palemoon/palemoon /usr/bin/palemoon

There are a few problems here. First the script palemoon2 tries to delete
/usr/bin/palemoon
and replace it with the "non-run-as-spot" version.

This seems to be prevented because
/usr/bin/palemoon
is right protected. Also the script
/usr/bin/palemoon.bin
does not use the input arguments that were passed to it by /usr/bin/palemoon and instead just opens the puppy linux home page. This prevents one for instance from opening a specific link as a new tab with the default browser from the command line.

I'm going to patch my installation as follows:

In:
/usr/bin/palemoon

I'm going to replace

Code: Select all

APP='/usr/bin/palemoon.bin'

with

Code: Select all

APP='/opt/palemoon/palemoon'

This is just a hack since I don't know the intent of these scripts.

How do I unque sfs files.

The issue is that I boot from a USB drive and I want to keep the sfs files on a seperate external hard drive because I want to minimize what is on the usb drive which I formated as ext2 whereas the seperate external hard drive where I want to keep the sfs is formated as ntfs.

Mounting the drive is not enough to unque the sfs files in sfs load.
