Thanks for the feedback. Wary 5.1 already has the 'zzz' package installed. What was missing was the 'jimtcl' package that 'zzz' needs, as reported in an above post.Shep wrote:I've been using Wary 104 with a few added packages plus Barry's zzz .pet to endow it with 3G modem capability. It operated nicely indeed on my veteran 560MHz PIII desktop. But I decided to try the upgrade, so burnt the CD for Wary 5.1, and rebooted. Horror!
I didn't even know I had any puppy 2 packages installed. Which were they?Code: Select all
You will either have to uninstall the Puppy 2 packages or install missing dependencies gtk+12 gtkxft gtk_pixbuf10 glib12 tk tcl tix uri tktable tablelist tile trf combobox gnocl img qt imlib libx aw95_DEP4 speex libosp[2 cdr dao SOX libidn fig2dev pstoedit mtools
And I think there was a further alert came up, but it disappeared while I was busy writing down that first list of things I'd have to fix.
Then when the desktop came up, it had no volume control. Music player pmusic did play, but at zero volume. And worst of all, my 3G modem was not recognized. I switched off, and went to the pub.
Next day when I switched it on, fearing what else could be awry, there were no messages about missing dependencies, and the volume control had returned. See, there are good elves like the shoemaker said!!
But still no go with the modem, so I ran the zzz_scripts_simple_bk-201011.pet which I'd kept a copy of, and now the modem was all go. I notice that after unplugging and reinserting the usb modem I no longer get the green overlay message saying "modem is now ready for use" or words to that effect. The main thing is that it does work. I found PPM listed zzz TWICE in the installed packages. I uninstalled one of them and they both uninstalled. So I reinstalled it, and again it's listed twice. No big deal.
The upshot: all seems well and good. I particularly like the new pmusic which can be accessed via an icon on the tray beside the volume control; it sure beats having to do to rxvt to kill the player. And now, each mouse click adds a music file to a playlist.
Wary 5.1 -- I like it!
Hmmm, the upgrade is still not working properly. It looks like the old /etc/rc.d/rc.update script is running instead of the new one (I don't know why). You can ignore all those messages.
Anyway, the next time that you upgrade it should be ok.
