Hi rcrsn51,
OK, fair enough, I just thought it would be ok because I didn't change the peasywifi code itself, sorry, shouldn't have done that, so removed from repos (latest is 4.5-1 again now)

Hi !
I have some (maybe naive ) Questions.
Created a Openbox/Jwm Full with mklive-stretch a while ago .Placed the content of Isodata live Folder to Usb Stick to make a frugal install.
If i now create this same Openbox/jwm Full NOW again with mklive-stretch ........replace the old 01-filesystem.squashfs on my USB Stick with the now NEW created 1-filesystem.squashfs (and of course the zz_openbox_lx-jwm_firefox.squashfs too),
would this cause some kind of (alternative) update/upgrade ,instead of updating/upgrading via Synaptic-PPM?
Thanks in Advance .

Hi backi,
When you do a new build, all the latest package versions will be installed, if older build is a while back, probably there are updates available, so: yes, as you say, it would indeed cause some kind of (alternative) update/upgrade.

Here is the lastest version of apulse needed to play Youtube audio in some browsers. The package contains a menu entry that runs: Code: | apulse /opt/firefox/firefox |
You can customize this for your own setup by editing the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications.
However, the new Firefoxes require a patch:
Quote: | For example, Firefox now have a sandbox, that blocks file access. It has
predefined list of allowed paths, but ALSA devices are not included by
default. Fortunately, it's possible to add those path by hand. Add "/dev/snd/"
to "security.sandbox.content.write_path_whitelist" parameter in
`about:config`. Note that trailing slash in "/dev/snd/" is required. |
Update: OscarTalks has found a simpler solution. Set security.sandbox.content.level to 0.
These packages are now available in the repo under the name "apulse".

Regarding updating/upgrading Deb Dog via creating a new build and replacing old live Folder content with new live Folder content .
Quote: | When you do a new build, all the latest package versions will be installed, if older build is a while back, probably there are updates available, so: yes, as you say, it would indeed cause some kind of (alternative) update/upgrade.

But when then looking into Synaptic Packet-Manager ........they are not shown as updated .Still shown as up-datable and upgradable .
What about this ?what does it mean ?

Did you delete the /stretch folder before you ran mklive-stretch or did you let the script delete it? If you didn't delete it before you ran the script, maybe try that.
I know in an effort to save download that the downloaded packages don't get deleted. I wonder if they get checked to see if they are up to date?
The script tells you that when it says:
Quote: | Working directory 'stretch' already exists \n To be able to continue, contents need to be removed first\n All files inside will be deleted, except the apt cache in chroot
"Are you sure to delete contents of directory stretch ? (Enter=yes) (Y/n)?" |
Fred said he had the flu, I'm sure when he feels better he'll chime in.

Hi backi, dancytron,
...slowly feeling better now, short reply for now, will investigate more later if needed.
Quote: | But when then looking into Synaptic Packet-Manager ........they are not shown as updated .Still shown as up-datable and upgradable .

When I make new build, the only upgradable version I see in Synaptic is "firefox-esr=45.9.0esr-1" which is on purpose, to have the latest in the build, change to just "firefox-esr" in the config (see pic).
@backi, which packages you see more than firefox as upgradable?
Quote: | I know in an effort to save download that the downloaded packages don't get deleted. I wonder if they get checked to see if they are up to date? |
The older packages are kept in the local cache, but if newer available, they will be chosen to be installed.
Fred

Hi backi, thanks for the info.
Aah, using old save folder, I think that explains it.
You see, the config files that are part of the package management (in your save folder) still contain the older versions info, so it *thinks* they need upgraded, but in fact they are already.
You can check that by booting without the changes=... parameter, and you'll see that there are no upgrades available then.
I would love if there's a possible way to keep using old save, but I'm afraid there isn't, sorry.
(we can call that a downside of the very strict Debian package management maybe)
One thing you may want to do is to boot without changes, go into your save folder and delete everything except /root, and reboot with changes enabled, then at least you have kept your personal changes, e.g. palemoon settings in ~/.moonchild productions or firefox settings in ~/.mozilla.

Hi Fred !
I did the following (instead of deleting everything except /root) .......
Deleted in my changes Folder..-- /etc/apt and /var
Mounted 01-filesystem.squash.fs of the new created build .....and
copied over> apt and var > to my changes Folder -----
After replacing these folders ....i booted to System ....immediately reloaded Synaptic and found it almost completely updated/upgraded .
...Except .....:
libcurl3-gnutls (version 7.52.1-5) will be upgraded to version 7.52.1-5+deb9u1
porteusbootscripts (version 0.0.4) will be installed
Summary
1 new package will be installed
1 package will be upgraded
57,3 kB of extra space will be used
362 kB have to be downloaded
Conclusion (or not ):
Seems to work ( almost ) as a kind of alternate method for updating/upgrading .
If there is any usefulness in it ?
Maybe ......or maybe not......who knows ...
But i was anyway not in a sentimental.... but in an experimental mood....so i just did it .
So thanks Fred... for lending me your ear .......and get well

Hi backi, maybe it should be written in the documentation that "using old save file/folder is not supported, unless you are very creative like backi"
Looks good how you did!

Yes, but all together I'd recommend to just remaster with all upgraded packages and personal changes, instead of making new build and doing all the tricks you did, anyway if you're just basically using the same type of build.

This definitely works, thanks!
(with the change in about:config)
However I have my doubts about the menu entry that runs "apulse /usr/lib/firefox/firefox"
As far as I know there's no Stretch firefox that installs to /usr/lib/firefox
I tested with the "firefox-mozilla-build" version 56 from repository:
Code: | deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main |
Above repo is included when making newer build with mklive-stretch, so I installed and ran firefox:
Code: | apulse /opt/firefox/firefox |
EDIT: rcrsn51 has modified the packages to use "apulse /opt/firefox/firefox" in menu entry:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=971420#971420
Added apulse packages to repos now.
So, installing "firefox-mozilla-build" combined with the change in about:config that menu entry should work for audio on YouTube.

[Edit] /opt would probably be a better choice.
[Edit] I made this change and re-posted the packages above with more instructions.
