Hi, snayak.
We'll try and get your Chrome sorted out a bit later on (I haven't forgotten!), but for now, I'll try and answer these:-
1) Java: Use rerwin's Get-Java package, here:-
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=101592
2) Python: Use the PPM.
3) Virtualbox: Should be in the PPM, but I'm really not certain whether the Precise repositories are still working, since 12.04 Precise Pangolin went EOL in April. If not, give this thread a look:-
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=63332
4) Kernel sources: Ally (our unofficial 'archivist') has mirrored every single Puppy kernel, dev_x and kernel_sources package here:-
http://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linux_Kernels
The one you want is there; I've checked. Just scroll down till you find it. Be warned; it's a huge list! It's well worth bookmarking, too.
[Shortcut:-] http://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linux_Kernels/kernel_src-3.2.48-patched.sfs
Hope those help.
Mike.

Dear All,
I went to:
Right Click->Desktop->pupX set properties of X
I set:
Screen saver Enable
Delay 5
Cycle 2
Blank screen rather than displaying a pattern
But I saw screen saver not working!
I changed time, yet no difference.
Is this screen saver setting working?
What is "Allow exposures"?
Sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak

Hello snayak,
Delay = how long before screen saver starts with no mouse / keyboard activity (mine is set to 5 seconds)
Cycle= how many seconds before screen saver changes to new pattern, (mine is set to 600 seconds)
Allow Exposures = Have that ticked (I don't know what it does but screensaver does not run if not ticked)
Click Apply button
Screen saver should now have blank screen after 5 seconds of no activity.
.This I verified in Precise 5.7.1 just now
.

Dear perdido,
Thanks for your time.
I did as you said. But no luck.
I think, on my Athlon machine it is not working.
I have done frugal installation of precise on it.
Sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak

Dear All,
I compiled a C program and it failed.
# gcc -lm a.c
/tmp/ccxAJOXM.o: In function `length':
a.c .text+0x5a): undefined reference to `sqrt'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
#
I have
precise-5.7.1-retro.iso
devx_precise_5.7.1.sfs
kernel_src-3.2.48-patched.sfs
Surprised that C math library is absent.
How to remedy?
Sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak

Dear rcrsn51,
Yes, I included <math.h>.
But surprised to see linking error for math lib.
First time in my life seeing such a tragedy! Sad
In case you have Precise 571, kindly try this:
a.c
------
#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
int main()
{
int i=16;
printf("%f\n",sqrt(i));
return 0;
}
----------
#gcc -lm a.c
Sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak

Dear rcrsn51,
Obliged for your help.
Your suggestion works.
gcc -lm a.c worked in fatdog611.
g++ -lm a.c even worked in precise571.
but
gcc -lm a.c didn't work in precise571.
where as
gcc a.c -lm worked in precise571!
I am not able to believe this!
Sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak

Try pressing the power switch when you open it.
If a box appears press cancel.
If it boots up, thats another problem (usually apci).

Not sure if this is the correct thread to post, but looks 'somewhat related' to my query. Refer link below please.
