Pet Get download outside of Puppy.

[purple_ghost]

Where are the Pet Gets hiding if I need to download one outside of Puppy.

I have some problems with the dialer and my ISP. I can get on using kppp with Adios and Mini-Knoppix. My ISP people told me last week they were having problems. They were going to give up the Windows system and start using... Linux.

I found the kppp as a dot pup on the .de site. It requires a library file. libqt-3.3.x. I found one on the .de site that is for local use... ??? I am not sure it is going to work like that.

Thanks for the info.

PetGet will be available integrated in Febuary 2007 aprox in Puppy 2.14

Use these Dotpups for now

You are suggesting that I can not use the kppp I got from .de site. What I would have needed to use that would be the Pet Get libqt. Libqt would be, I think, easy to get if I had puppy running online.

Anyway. This brings up another mistake of mine. Lobster please correct my post on: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=14576

I am not sure what to say about that one now. I am guessing it is a matter that I was looking at Dot Pups that are not correct for Puppy 2.13.

Thank you for your correction.

What until now were known as "pupgets" are here:
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributio ... packages-1

If you download one of them, you can run Pupget (or PETget now, I guess) and choose the "install local package" option when that comes up. Point it at the package you downloaded, and it should install.

If you download a file named .pet, you can just click it and it will install. The PETget system is still being implemented though, so there aren't many yet.

Sorry I can't be more specific. I'm still in 2.12, and haven't had time to sort out in my head what Barry has and hasn't done with PETget yet.

I made the kppp dotpup for people who use a small KDE that does not contain it already.

A minimum of KDE libraries is required:

MU. I had seen the (above mentioned) post before made my first post on this subject. Good you mentioned it though.

In the last few days I have been seeking to figure out what my problem is with kppp.

AFter I could not get kppp to install with Puppy 2.13.

I downloaded Muppy007-212

When I go for the install of kppp I get a red background box that says:

Error Not enough free diskspace .
You have- MB but needed are !

I think this is the same error message I get from Puppy 2.13.

I guess I should learn how to build a Dot Pup anyway. This would be a good place to start. Perhaps I should actually start by building a Dot Pup of all of KDE. If I am to use the Dot Pup for KDE, I must download go the University Library and download it on an XP computer. Does not show up to be available that way. Wow. are the University computers fast. I Downloaded the six CDs of Open Suse 10.2 and burned them onto CDs in less than two hours.

I still have not found another copy of libqt.

Would be easier for me to get a new ISP. Ha ha ha ha ha. Then I could simply go back to using the Puppy Gkdial.

I wonder about the error - but kppp anyway should be part of Muppy007.
Also libQT.

Start - KDE menu - internet - kppp

Ahh no, does not run... I must have a closer look at the menu-import, some KDE-programs do not run from it.
Workaround: drag
/opt/kde/bin/kppp to your desktop.

Dragged the kppp icon onto the desktop as Mu recommended. Immediately dials in, the first time I entered the correct user names. Which was the second time I tried. Ha ha ha ha.

If I have not been clear. Gkdial has always worked for me in the past. What has changed is something with my ISP. I know they are trying to get more numbers to allow log in, as well as they are going to install Linux on their server in place of the Windows product.

I wonder if it is a timing thing with Gkdial I could adjust. I am not willing to spend a lot of time worrying about it,

The question which remains. How to find/ download Pet Gets / Dot pups when one is not able to log in with Puppy Linux..

I would guess that I should not try to get unleashed through a dial up account. I do not think the University would allow me to boot Puppy onto their computer in order to get Puppy Unleashed. In my case I should simply send Barry a few dollars for unleashed. After so much use. I surely owe him. For newcomers...????

Anyway. My sending Barry a few dollars for Puppy Unleashed will have to wait a few more days. I have eleven days until disability is paid and I have about eleven dollars left.

Mu. Thanks for Muppy and the advice.

Today. Jan. 23, 2007 I just finished getting Kppp working with Muppy007-212.

As Mu advised me as to get Kppp working:
Workaround: drag
/opt/kde/bin/kppp to your desktop.

I spent another four hours trying to find out why Kppp connected at such a slow speed.

I did a manual configure for Kppp. Where it asked for a connection speed I let Kppp set a default speed. Which was a very fast speed. Kppp was also smart enough to know that was too great a speed for my external serial, U.S Robotics 56K Modem. So it connected at 9600. Dead slow.

I changed the speed to be something that my Modem should do. 44000.

The next connection was ran much faster. I am still not sure exactly what the speed I should choose.

The notes I saw on other Linux forums suggested that if the speed I chose was too fast. Then the connection would be unstable. The computer would spend a lot of its resources handling error codes. Someone else suggested that the speed was in a code that was passed back to my modem from my ISP. ?????

I am not a documentation person. I am not sure where this little hint about how to set up Kppp ought to be.

I do know it took me hours on a slow crawling connection to find out the answer. I hope no one else has to do that.
