Classic Pup 2.14X -- Updated 2 series

[clarf]

Thanks for that Earthray. I deleted my 214x directory and save file and started again. However ,I still have the problem of saving to the save file. I believe that only the stuff that was saved when I set it up ie wifi, xorg etc. After that nothing seems to be saved properly. There are odd things though. This time i went for xorg. This let me move icons about on the desktop. these changes are saved when I reboot. I can install pwidgets. This works fine to the next reboot. It does not appear on the screen. It cannot be opened but it can be uninstalled. Unless there is a grub command that I can use to tell 214x the save file to save too I seem to be stuck.

Regards,

Ken.

Hi,

Your problem saving stuff to the pupsave file could be resolved checking this solution:

you can also use:

Code: Select all

tail -n +2 

instead of awk.

Regarding Opera 12...

I redid the .Desktop file, I changed the icons, added a home button, added the bookmarks bar, added bookmarks, added duckduckgo and Ad Block Plus, and removed the locales, removed the kdelibs, removed the gstreamer plugins, added links to gxine plugin and flash plugin. here's the link http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/2.14X/S ... 60-386.pet its 13mb :) ttuuxxx

This works great on my newer machines, but on the old Pentium 166 it has the same issue: because it was compiled with the newer GlibC version that uses cmov, it won't run.

I know it's a big ask, but is there any chance you could recompile this under the 2.14X Top 9 environment, if you still have it? Or an environment with the older GlibC?

The older Opera 11 was compiled that way and it works. Opera 12 is pretty stable and secure, so it would be nice to have it running on a 1996 Pentium 166!

Hi ac2011,

While you're waiting for someone to compile an opera 11, you might want to try running one from a "program folder". I always run opera in that manner. Although this post is about SWIron, this is the same technique I use to set up opera as a program folder. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 532#507532. Essentially, you just download the opera tar.gz and decompress it on you're home partition.

Works with either Full or Frugal install Puppies.

You can find old versions of opera here: http://www.opera.com/download/guide/?os ... 6&list=all

At the top level of the decompressed opera folder you'll find a script named "opera:. Left-clicking it should open it. The rest of the "SWIron" thread deals with how to obtain easy access via desktop icon or menu entry.

Hope this helps.

Thanks both. I have Opera 11 working on the P166, it's the final Opera 12 that won't run because it was compiled under a later GlibC. That's the one I'm after.

Thanks! The first one definitely doesn't work on the Pentium because it was compiled with the later GlibC that has instructions the P166 doesn't understand, but I'll give the second one a try. Much obliged.

Still using on a couple of old P3's.......

hi all

to continue the conversation about ttuuxxx's own puppy

its really all the work and creativity that ttuuxxx put into it
that made TOP such a masterpiece
that is why we are hoping he will continue his efforts

like i said on another thread
i have made many morphs of TOP
but i didnt have the expertise to to isolate everything
tinycore has worked these issues out
and this can be applied to TOP
so it can save ttuuxxx some work
and make TOP even better

its not disparaging woof-ce
just avoiding the bottlenecks

TOP forever
its history man

Hi James, Nice to see you around still
Boy your quick on downloads , Hope you weren't waiting for 4+yrs
I wanted to release this version before I go all crazy on 2.14X again.
Last time I updated GlibC, we had lots of things to fix.
Hope this time around it goes smoothly, I might have to add GTK3 to 2.14X again, due to Firefox using it, or I might go down the Seamonkey path, I do like the the Seamonkey layout better after a few tweaks.

Tested on Thinkpad T42 which normally runs 4.31 AnitaOS version and keyboard works correctly with this version of 214X keyboard mapping is screwed up pressing keys produces wrong results eg. o key will produce a 6 tried changing same result. Apart from that booted to desktop after setting with xorg wizard and sound worked. didn't try wireless.

I think that numlock is on by default, which is why you are getting numbers instead of letters for some keys.

[Robert123]

thanks Keef will try that.
