Fresh frugal install on Compaq Presario desktop, installed base dpup5, then patch then synaptic. Tried installing Kompozer, see attachments.

On the plus side, Google Chrome for Linux is here and it installed fine through petget, although I had to go find the exe, no menu entry.

I also had major problems with Synaptic, I installed Kazehakase and Netsurf and they worked (well, Kazehakase was experiencing segmentation faults). However, when I tried to reboot X restated.......when I tried to shutdown X restarted. Ctrl/Alt/Backspace to the prompt and entered "reboot" and X restarted, entered "poweroff" at the prompt and, you guessed it, X restarted.Did a hard reset, could not get X to work so I reinstalled Dpup again.

On the good side, I also have Google Chrome running in Dpup, posting with it now.See screenie.However, I made a menu entry for mine. :)

More later.

I won't try anything else with Synaptic for now. I'm loving the big-screen puppy tho....

Ok the Synaptic problems that are still occurring are not actually synaptic problems, they are the broken Python implementation in Puppy and Dpup, I will fix that, and we should be right...getting there...

Wiped previous installation and reinstalled full hd installation of dpup482b5 including service patch on an ext4 partition. The only added software is synaptic and sfs installer which was used to install dpup_devx_482.

It works on some packages, but gives error messages on all packages.

Tried Gramps first which downloaded 35 packages and then failed on installation due to python2.4, then I tried python2.4, gcalculator, dolphin, dirdiff, 3dchess, and alexandria. All appeared to download properly and partially installed but failed to complete installation.

Later, I discovered that although 3dchess, gcalculator, and alexandria had error messages that they do appear to work, but don't show up properly on the menu.

Also, I installed Gnomesword and Bibletime 1.6.5.1 which do work although they had error messages and do not show up in the menu.

I'll be happy to wipe the full hd installation again and try installing only packages that you suggest that may help in solving the installation problems.

Cheers,
Jim :)

Some success I guess. :)

Fresh full install with only the service pack, Synaptic pet and Google Chrome added. I've only installed two small packages....one of which was NetSurf browser.

It does work, but I also got an error message and had to make my own menu entry.Haven't attempted a reboot yet....... :)

Will install some larger packages later and report back.

I've sucessfully installed Streamtuner thru Synaptic, didn't get a picture but had several python errors upon installation. Streamtuner does work though.......after I made a menu entry and made it default to Beep Media Player instead of xmms.

Have a couple of errors when it launches too.....

More later. :)

I am uploading a new apt, it will not be ready till later today...I have tested it with netsurf and few others, the only problem I can see at this stage is the curious debian/ubuntu practice of including %u in the .desktop file under exec...I have written a script to fix that and will get that together for upload tonight...

For the best results with the new apt, would you recommend trying on a fresh install?

Luckily I can reinstall in about 10 minutes so it's no problem. Just looking for the best results. :)

Yes, I use a fresh install each test....I know it's a pain, but we might as well get it right.... :)

Sounds like a great idea to me.

A little word of caution to anyone attempting to do an upgrade......check the packages!
One of the upgrades offered to me included a new 2.6.26.2 Lenny kernel.....not to sure how that would work out.... :)

My first try with dpup just to try apt.
Fresh frugal install. 1.5G ram 512M save.
Added dpupbeta-patch.pet and dpup_devx_482.sfs

Try to install apt_synaptic-dpup.pet and get:

"Error, package apt_synaptic-dpup.pet failed to install."

Any guesses/directions?

(re-down-loaded from above link and same thing)

Sorry, I jumped the gun. I didn't look close enough at the time.
Even I forget not everyone has a fast connection. I though it was done.
Will try again latter, thank you.

Installed Synaptic pet on fresh full install of Dpup 4.82 Beta 5 with only service pack and Google Chrome added. Synaptic pet installed fine.

Checked repositories and reloaded. Installed Kazehakase browser thru Synaptic and still getting error messages. Kazehakase works but still no menu entry, so I added one again by modifying existing entry.

Will attempt to install more apps later this afternoon.

Fresh frugal install with patch, everything worked except can't get program to actually run. Not a big deal for me, just testing.

nopubkey.png is an error I always get after apt-get update.

changes.png, download.png and applied.png are self-explanatory.

Last screen is all the python stuff I found where the hydrogen executable was, I guess python and puppy don't get along, as would be IRL. :-)
