(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I did a frugal install of racy 5390 to the hard drive using the puppy universal installer.

I updated some apps and added openbox + lxpanel.
It's working well so far.

a few new backgrounds.

Firefox 18.0 released. Not working in wary 5.3 and 5.3.92. "Undefined symbol" in libxpcom which come with firefox directory: "Coldn't load XPCOM". The previous version Firefox 17.0.1 works fine in Wary 5.3 and Wary 5.3.92. I made some attempts to solve the problem with no success. Any ideas?

UPDATE: I have found the way of using Firefox 18.0 in wary 5.3 (probably wary 5.3.92, too). See:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=66373

Install in your wary libc6_2.11.3-4_i386.deb from Debian packages repository. It will work to get a working Firefox 18.0 in Wary. Google-talkplugin always working with old version 2.1.7.0.

see here after topicss; Merci everybody.

Racy resize savefile malfunction probably caused by missing gxmessage which BK forgot to include in some builds. See http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02695

No point in requesting fixes to Racy because sadly BK has abandoned it.

I believe I included gxmessage in my right click menu additions package

You can install in Racy and check by typing in terminal
Note: Package should work in Racy since it is checked in Wary

.

You can download the gxmessage pet from:

Wary 5.5 Release Candidate is out, see my blog:

http://bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00148

There is a new Forum thread for 5.5RC:

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=84618

To have GnomeMplayer and XVIDCAP running with Racy, libdbus-1.so.3 is missing in usr/lib. Use instead -1.3.5.8 and 1.3.4.0 with a symbolic link (Precise config)

symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libX11.so.6: undefined symbol: xcb_take_socket
K-Office-1.6.3.sfs: 47 M works well on quite all puppies excepted my Racy 5.3 ! does any body know what the error message mean ?
/usr/lib/libX11.so.6 well here...
Racy 5.3 remains one of the major puppies, in my opinion, with its kernel 3.0.25.

I can find Wary and Racy 5.3 Barebones but does anyone know why full size versions have disappeared. No sign of them on the ibiblio and nlugg or anywhere else for that matter. Why?

Google Ibiblio wary puppy and Wary 5.5 is there. Didn't check for the others.

Am I missing something? I also went looking for Wary 5.3 at BK's site and couldn't find it.

If I remember correctly, a while back Ibiblio ran out of space and some older files needed to be removed to make room for newer projects.Not heard if it's been resolved or if there is still a space concern.

Cheers ally, I found Wary and Racy-5.3 at archive.org.

Wary-5.3.iso https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linu ... ry-5.3.iso

Racy-5.3.iso https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linu ... cy-5.3.iso

Racy 5.3 is as 'the must' as Slacko 5.3.3 thin.
Racy 5.3 is used to run older puppies at pelo's home.
Not 5.5 (black screen) , but 5.3
AOC puppy (AOC is used for Wines with great pedigree in France)
Fourth year without a bug.. since Beijing Olympic games, still qualified for Rio de Janeiro 2016.

tuxtoo, installed in my Racy 5.3 BitMeter OS from 412 collection
Works nice. As i am on a new pupsave, statistics are only about to-day. I shall try on older racysaves.
