Hi gang.
Forum member Norgo builds Seamonkeys 2.49.x based on GTK2 as a
hobby, for fun! PM him? Sorry for leaking the secret out, Norgo!
He's offering a German version of SM-2.49.4 here,
and a French version of SM-2.49.3 here
All you guys have to do is get and install the English language pack for
one of the above,
from https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.49.4
or https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.49.3
and away you go!
BFN.

Good to know but is it fully operational and functional, I mean does EVERYTHING really work as it should? I guess one wouldn't know if you don't test it thoroughly. Just installing that GTK3 package (which seems small enough) is a safer option.

This is because guess_fstype reports ext4 as ext3 resulting in failure when trying to "mount -t ext3 /dev/sdxN" to generate the savefile. |
Oh, I'd been concerned about that; bigpup commented a few posts down.
But when I downloaded it today, and put it on the SSD (sda1, ext4) of this Latitude E6410, it made the save folder OK ??
I just looked, and see Code: |

I just got FireFox66 working. That's the good news. The bad news is I don't really understand how. But here goes anyway:
I downloaded firefox-official-66.0.tazpkg from https://mirror.clarkson.edu/slitaz/packages/cooking/. (There are other language versions in there as well) Why would I do that you ask? Because at it's core Slitaz cooking is basically about the same era as Precise and many of the packages will work in Precise. I then installed gtk+3-3.14.8.tazpkg. Then I installed Perdido's libgtk-3-0_3.4.2_i386_precise.pet from above. After all that it seems to be working very well. (Trial and Error)
The tools that I use to work with tazpkgs are already in my Precises, just right click on a tazpkg and you will see taz2pet and untaz2. I am attaching them here in case you want to use them somewhere else.
Edit: The process works just as well with the official download at www.mozilla.com

Do you need all of that? Not sure if I read the other posts on this thread.

Do not remember if this was also true for Precise original but on first shutdown will not save on ext4 partitions.

Thanks for trying it. I've had problems in the past with input/output errors with ext4 so all my drives are ext3. If you can suggest a fix I'll be happy to incorporate it. |
Just replace it with the one from more recent puppies |
Hi mavrothal.
Sorry for being so dumb... Euh... "just replace" what?
The kernel (aka vmlinuz)?
TIA for any pointers.

The libgtk-3-0_3.4.2_i386_precise.pet is 2MB, probably a misunderstanding about which package was being discussed.

Will the blkid utility of the newer Pup be compatible with the glibc version
of the Precise?

The question remains whether this small pet package of 2MB is the only requirement to get Seamonkey 2.49 to work with Precise? Norgo suggests you need the big GTK3 package with all the core/libraries concerned. Please clear the confusion, thanks.

@nic007
easy to answer
I need the gtk3 package not at all
I'm very sure that my SM version will not work in Precise.
What glibc version is installed ? Sorry for this question but I don't use Precise
or launch SM in a terminal to get to know what is missing or to old.

Yes, I understand you are not using GTK3 for your packages. Precise has glibc2.15. BTW This thread is about Precise and there are suggested "methods" to get Seamonkey 2.49 going, one was this small pet offering. I hope someone can give us a definite answer on a not too difficult question, I don't feel like downloading Seamonkey 2.49 just for testing. I'm currently using Seamonkey 2.48 with Precise.

The GTK3 PET allows seamonkey v2.49 to run as reported by jrb on page1 of this thread.
I originally put the pet together for precise 5.7.1 to run firefox 46+ that requires GTK3
