(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Just had to let you all know how well shinobar’s portable Firefox works with Jemimah’s outstanding Saluki.

Fantastic - running frugal on my old IBM T41 laptop, 512mb ram, no swap, Pentium M 1400Mhz processor.

This is the latest Firefox, quite amazing.

Can you help me how to enable FTP and samba on Thunar here in saluki? I install GVFS and GVFS-SMB. But still FTP and samba does not work on thunar. I prefer to use thunar on FTP and samba access rather than gftp and pnethood.

Xmenu entry maker fiil as screenshot shows.
Saluki 023 : what a nice distro !

Jemimah was an exceptional contributor.

It's a real shame we no longer see her here.

Agreed. This distro was clearly ahead of its time.

One can not find unconditional deserved recognition anywhere, except in a well paid job. Even as a Software Developer - and Developers like Jemimah as well needs to get paid for the work they do!

She is a Linux hero for the ages.

Jemimah's email is jemimah@gmx.com I haven't heard from her for a long time, not long after she left the forum.

Looks like she is still in the same job from around that time

That's good to hear - can you post a link to the topic please?

sorry to pop in on this but that's the fastest way to invite spammers to harvest an email address...could you obfusticate it in some way?

mike

ps she never looked like that in the chatroom

Mike, Jemimah's email address is on public record, along with her postal, residential address and her work history, I'm sure that any spam would be the lest of her worries.

Yeah, she looks a little different to this image http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... h&id=26294

ah ok.... seems a shame a smart person does not know how to guard their privacy but the email thing in particular is sooo common.

Well I shall worry not then..

sayonara multimedia needs QT 4.8.0
As i hold SFS Qt 4.8.2 , i wanted load it on the fly, but load on the fly does not work.
Linux 3.2.8 ski (i686)
Sayonara will not miss me a lot, but sfs load on the fly not working would.

this only works on old hardware? i wanted to try it cause i liked the looks from screenshots and on my intel 1150 socket it freezes during boot.

Yes, it could be possible that Saluki does not run on new hardware.
I Run It on a Medion P7624 Born 2012 but I believe I have Changed the Kernel.
after checking :
No, Saluki 23 runs with it's Own kernel 3.2.8 ski
Saluki with very few means makes prettier desktop than many. Saluki is a Must
PS : Saluki 013 runs My Laptop Too (Kernel 3.2.8)Wireless connected IWLwifi. Now i am on ACER Aspire 1640 2004 . Temperature Gets High 80° because of Cpu. I must shutdown.
for fun take a Ristretto (You Tube), in fact video is for people take a look at Saluki Puppy Linux.

I wonder if she submitted her set of woof build changes anywhere?. I think I remember a lot of it was in one of her threads. It could be a building challange for someone to update it to a (semi-)current puppy build, especially if she would be willing to mentor (, you can only ask).

The DOTconfig is available (and attached) if only the kernel is wanted to be updated (fake .gz) for the kernel-kit and that can of course be reused with a later kernel.

Hi all,

Perhaps not so much. See the relationship between Saluki and Carolina 1.3 and Carolina Vanguard: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 275#875275.

A little over a year ago, battleshooter compiled a new kernel for Carolina 1.2. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... bcd#802764. Shortly, thereafter, he compiled a glib upgrade for Carolina and Racy. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 989#806989. Saluki was a woof-build, based on Racy 5.2. From its inception, Saluki was a modular build, separating "the core" from "user applications" into different Sfses.

So it may be possible to to perform "kernel" and glib upgrades on Saluki by substituting Carolina's following the instructions beginning here, http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 643#836643 or from the beginning of that thread; or --worst case scenario-- those given by battleshooter for upgrading glibs &/or kernel.

MMMM reading those notes as long as you install the GCC update last it should work.

Thanks for the reminder, I'd forgotten it was from racy.

I've got a 'heap' of other package updates for racy (551) if they are wanted, as it's my prefered puppy still, and i've been updating it as I found the need. src2pkg v3 works well for building pet updates for wary/racy if you only want to do that, although there are a few gotchas like any build of lib6 will just 'kill' your savefile beyond redemption on install and the number of packages that need to be rebuilt twice after you have updated others is 'fascinating'.

On top of that i'm starting working at present towards a T2 racy6 > racy7, by building a minimal racy I've built before with woof called myz (pet based) on 4.3 I think it was. It's up here somewhere. It's just the basics, no x at all, or user packages and the like (consider a cutdown rescue system) but the new one will be with linux 4.3. The new one will be called myzt2 and be 'tighter' still.

I've a vague memory of looking at jemimah's work for allowing additional sfs's after she released it and considering adding parts of it into the origonal myz, but there were blockages as to the limit from available memory back then I think I found. myz was suppose to have only the basic puppys components/packages and each other wanted menu group was to have it's own sfs to make adding package groups and updating a lot easier. I shall have to find my build logs from back then and see what I did. Hmmmm..., maybe a revisit is worth ....

Opps, sorry for hijacking the thread, i'll get 'off the line'.
