(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello
Did anybody make it work for newest precise puppy 5.7.1 ? I have loaded two sfs packages from http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages-upup/ (spotify client and gt4.8.2) but it doesn't work at all. When I press spotify in menu nothing happens! Plz help

I have now found that libplc4.so.0d and libnspr4.s0.0d are missing - how to install them on puppy ?

Bonjour,
You can try this:
Install first qt-4.8.0-libs-essentials and qt-4.8.0-webkit-phonon-gstreamer-opengl from this page
... then Spotify from this page

Cordialement.

Install first qt-4.8.0-libs-essentials and qt-4.8.0-webkit-phonon-gstreamer-opengl

I have installed it and there is the same problem - when I press at spotify in menu, nothing happens. I have tried run it from console and I get such a error:
"error while loading shared libraries: libgstapp-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I have also tried in console command "ldd /usr/bin/spotify" and I get that few libraries are missing:
libgstapp-0.10.so.0
libgstpbutils-0.10.so.0
libgstvideo-0.10.so.0
libgstbase-0.10.so.0
libgstreamer-0.10.so.0
and also;
libplc4.so.0d
libnspr4.so.0d

When I was using those gt and spotify sfs files from forum only libplc4.so.0d and libnspr4.so.0d were missing.

I think you should install libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0_0.10.36 and libgstreamer0.10-0_0.10.36 from PPM.

[EDIT]: As attached file one of the 2 missing libs.
libnspr4.so.0d is not present on my system and Spotify works well.

Cordialement.

I have installed all of it, including libplc4, but still there is one missing (libnspr4.so.0d) and it will not start with out it. Where can I find libnspr4.so.0d?
By the way what puppy linux version do you have ?

These libs seem to come with Libreoffice and Seamonkey.
Missing lib as attached file: I think Spotifiy should work now.

By the way what puppy linux version do you have ?

Hello guys,

I'm working with Slacko 5.7

I've installed:
qt_all-4.7.3.sfs 43MB (SFS loaded on the fly)
spotify-0.8.4.103.pet 28MB
GConf-ORBit-libs-Slacko.pet 2.1MB
gstreamer-audio-0.10.35.pet 5.4MB

Got NO errors during installation.

I see Spotify's icon in Menu->Multimedia, but when I click nothing happens.

Below a snapshot to proof that everything is installed.

Please help me

The Spotify package I contributed in the first post of this thread depends on several shared libraries. In Slacko 5.3.x the shared libraries are under /usr/lib/seamonkey/
but I see that Slacko 5.7 now has Firefox, not Seamonkey.

I have now attached a hotfix to the first post, which corrects the library links for the Firefox version in Slacko 5.7.
Beware, these corrections apply only to Firefox 17.0.11, so is suitable ONLY for Slacko 5.7.

Thanks, I will try it ASAP.

One question:
Firefox is still insalled but I've installed and set Chromium as default browser, I find it faster in loading pages.

Can it be a problem in order to get Spotify working?

No problem. Spotify will use the libraries from Firefox, regardless of whatever other web browsers you may have installed.

It works now...amazing! thanks!!!

All the pets in OP are dead links for me. What can i use for Slacko 5.7.0?

If you've updated PPM.. Nevermind.. Slacko doesn't pick up Slacky's repo.

There are however, Spotify pkgs to be found.

Beyond this, the fourth post above yours may be an issue.

Had to pull a few strings to get here.

What utter masturbation!

I can even log in. Boy I surprise myself sometimes..

You want it? I'll try'n package it but, I need a guinea pig.

Certainly

I just downloaded the latest i386 build of Spotify for Linux (v0.9.4.183)
I can package it as a dotpet if anyone wants it.

To launch this under Slacko 5.7 you need to install -

i) the latest Qt, from the Sfs Manger utility.
ii) my Slacko-5.7-fix dotpet from the first post
iii) gstreamer. Download now available here -
http://www.smokey01.com/tempestuous/gst ... .10.35.pet

Under Tahrpup 6.x most dependencies are already met, so all you should need is gstreamer.

I accidentally opened that gstreamer pet with a text editor instead of the default application for running pets. What should i run it with?

Nevermind, this does it.

Way too complicated.

dotpets are installed with Puppy's file manager, ROX. Navigate to where the dotpet resides in the filesystem, then click once on the dotpet.
It's been that way since the Puppy 2.x days in 2006.

I just packaged the latest Spotify version for Tahrpup 6.x and Slacko 5.7.x.
Download and installation details in the first post.
