@belham2,

Yes, the Dpup-stretch background in my first post is not included in the iso because the image is relatively large. However, if you are interested, the wallpaper is now available above as a separate download. Thanks for your kind comments.

---

@Sailor Enceladus,

I don't use a chat utility, so that bug was undetected by me. I'll make the correction.

---

@Billtoo,

Your choice of wallpaper is always the best. :)

---

If there is sufficient interest, I'll wait a bit for additional bug reports and then upload an iso with all corrections included.

Thanks for testing!

If you think that the issue is important, you should find a better place to report it, like in the app's own thread.

Identify the app and the icon. Make sure that you are using the most recent version.
No reply after a week? I can't fix a problem if I don't know where to find it.

Built for my personal use, but possibly of interest to others who enjoy Dpup variants.
Did some testing of a frugal install in a Dell Vostro desktop.
Looking very nice and working well.
The InkscapeLite needs the ruler patch. I believe the source with this applied was uploaded to ibiblio here:-
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/sources/i/
Running checkdeps -system mentions the missing libspeexdsp which is part of the speex package. Debian has this thing of splitting packages and although libspeex is in there, the other component, libspeexdsp has been missing from Dpups past and present. Perhaps this can be included in the build recipe in woof-CE so that the headers are in the devx too ?? Some programs need it eg Linphone.
My Vivaldi stable 1.12.955.38 is based on Chromium 61 and runs nicely.

Obviously, I do not think that the issue is important.
Mentioned it to the builder so (s)he might check the pets used.

I would be happy to update them if you would identify the ones that you think need updating.

OscarTalks,

For the next release I will include the patched inkscapelite and add the missing libspeexdsp. I'm sure the Woof-CE devs monitor this thread, so maybe the build recipe will be updated.

Also, I downloaded your Vivaldi stable 1.12.955.38 sfs, and it runs very nicely in Dpup. Thank you!

Hello Radky,

Is there something not quite right with libdbus-1 ?
This is the same in the remaster I have been tinkering with so looks like it is at the woof-CE level. I came across it when experimenting with compiling sylpheed and claws-mail (even though I don't really use e-mail clients myself).
There is a libdbus-1.so.3 in /lib and another in /usr/lib
The latter is a link to an older version. Is this from the BK dbus package and the one in /lib is more recent and from the Debian package?
Can the older version be removed from /usr/lib or will this cause problems (eg with the dbus daemon) ?

The errors I was getting pointed initially to libdbus-glib so I tried compiling that from source. This failed until I installed the Debian libdbus and libdbus_DEV over the top.

By the way, there is a plugin in sylpheed (attachment tool) which has to be installed afterwards and is missing from most Puppies, not sure if it is useful for anything.

Hi OscarTalks,

Debian_stretch dbus packages in Woof-CE download:

1 - woof-out_x86_86_debian_stretch/packages-deb-stretch/libdbus-1-3_1.10.18-1_i386.deb contains the following libdbus files:

Code: Select all

-rw-r--r--      370116  2017-04-05  15:07  lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3.14.11                    
lrwxrwxrwx           0  2017-04-05  15:07  lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3 -> libdbus-1.so.3.14.11 
2 - woof-out_x86_86_debian_stretch/packages-deb-stretch/libdbus-1-3_1.10.22-0+deb9u1.deb contains the following libdbus files:

Code: Select all

-rw-r--r--      370116  2017-07-30  06:23  lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3.14.13                    
lrwxrwxrwx           0  2017-07-30  06:23  lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3 -> libdbus-1.so.3.14.13 
Of the two above packages, the latter is the one installed in my build.

---

Woof-CE dbus pet:

3 - woof-out_x86_86_debian_stretch/packages-pet/dbus-1.2.4.2permissive-q1.pet contains the following libdbus files:

Code: Select all

-rwxr-xr-x      274650  2010-01-23  03:45  dbus-1.2.4.2permissive-q1/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3.4.0                    
lrwxrwxrwx           0  2011-06-05  22:46  dbus-1.2.4.2permissive-q1/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 -> libdbus-1.so.3.4.0
This ancient pet package is almost eight year old but the package contains at least three bin files (dbus-monitor, dbus-send and dbus-uuidgen) which list libdbus-1.so.3 as a dependency.

The question remains, if the old libdbus-1.so.3 -> libdbus-1.so.3.4.0 files are removed, will the old bin fies work OK with the newer libdbus-1.so.3 -> libdbus-1.so.3.14.13 files. We should know after testing a bit, or is it time for an updated permissive package? :)

Thanks

Hi OscarTalks,

Re: duplication of libdbus-1.so.3 in Dpup Stretch

I removed the two old libdbus files from Dpup Stretch (/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3.4.0 and the symlink /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3).

After rebooting, dbus is working OK for me.

1 - /var/lib/dbus shows machine-id
2 - /var/run/dbus shows the two requisite entries -> pid and system_bus_socket
3 - The three requisite dbus processes are running

Code: Select all

# ps -aux | grep dbus | grep -v grep
message+  6196  0.0  0.0   2732   112 ? Ss   09:24   0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system
root     10993  0.0  0.0   4336   232 ? S     09:26   0:00 dbus-launch --autolaunch 4ea4c3482c74436056aeaafb59dec458 --binary-syntax --close-stderr
root     10994  0.0  0.0   2732  1688 ? Ss   09:26   0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session
Thanks :)

I compiled another woof-ce Slacko 5.7.1 last night here to mainly address the wifi exploit mentioned in this thread (changelog).

Thanks Sailor Enceladus! Working well here. I have upgraded the savefile from slacko 5.7. I did a pet package of the included firefox 28.0 in slacko 5.7.1. Firefox 28.0 works well in puppy4 with glibc upgrade to 2.7 version (from original 2.6...).

Hi Watchdog,

Yeah, Sailor's 5.7 is nice---it's my go to when any other pup starts messing up and I can't fix it. Can I ask, do you have a download link for your Firefox 28.0 with the glibc 2.7 upgrade? (forgive me if I overlooked it in the 'Browsers & Internet' section :oops: ).

Thanks!

Hi there,

I'd like to know how to:

Add the Slackware 14.2 patches repo to the list of available repos in PetGet ina Slacko build..
(this repo: ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/s ... /packages/)

Basically, I want to be able to easily perform security updates in puppy..
So I want the slackware 14.2 patches repo to be included and update-able..

But the patches repo isn't even listed in PetGet.. nor in the setup files like DISTRO_PET_REPOS etc...
In Woof, all I can find is pre-built Packages-puppy-slacko* repo files ..

Secondly (not so important) I want my new slacko build to also include the slacko-14 repo (not just slacko-14.1)...

How do I add new slackware repos?

EDIT 4:

Removed stuff it was suggestions to do the above, but is a bit buggy...

I've since worked out the patches/security stuff gets merged into the main *-official repos during a repo build (or repo update in petget)...

But the new pkgs which get added are not downloadable or installable for me using Petget (see next post)...

Does anyone have the same problem?
