Precise-light - 17March2019 - for older hardware
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.musher0 wrote:Hi gang.

Oh, I'd been concerned about that; bigpup commented a few posts down.mavrothal In part) wrote:.. on first shutdown will not save on ext4 partitions.
This is because guess_fstype reports ext4 as ext3 resulting in failure when trying to "mount -t ext3 /dev/sdxN" to generate the savefile.
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

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 http://www.mozilla.com

Do you need all of that? Not sure if I read the other posts on this thread.norgo wrote:gtk+3-3.18.9|gtk+3|3.18.9|1|BuildingBlock|70370K|nic007 wrote:... Just installing that GTK3 package (which seems small enough) is a safer option.

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.nic007 wrote:Do you need all of that?

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.perdido wrote:The libgtk-3-0_3.4.2_i386_precise.pet is 2MB, probably a misunderstanding about which package was being discussed.nic007 wrote:Do you need all of that?

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.nic007 wrote:Yes, I understand you are not using GTK3 for your packages. Precise has glibc2.15.

I originally put the pet together for precise 5.7.1 to run firefox 46+ that requires GTK3
.
The guess_fs in Precise is from Puppy4 2008. http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... static.pet seems to be the most up to date .pet available. Guess_fs is now included in WoofCE, don't know if its more current than the .pet.mavrothal wrote:Nice!

This is because guess_fstype reports ext4 as ext3 resulting in failure when trying to "mount -t ext3 /dev/sdxN" to generate the savefile.
If someone with ext4 drives wants to give it a try that would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance, J
Correction: http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... 6_s700.pet and others are available in the slacko 14.2 directory.

Oh, maybe I misunderstood when I replied at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 24#1024624 ? That said my ext4 partition was ext2.jrb (in part) wrote:The guess_fs in Precise is from Puppy4 2008. http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... static.pet seems to be the most up to date .pet available.

But there was (if I recall correctly) no problem msking a save folder on that partition.
Anyhow, I just downloaded the http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... static.pet. Its guess_fstype says that sda1 is ext4. This is being run under musher0's Xenial 7.06
I have since downloaded these two, and will try them later and report.
