Looks like Dapper was a Ubuntu release (6.06). What package are you looking for? (and what Puppy are you using?)

https://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+dapper

Perhaps try the search link in my sig line -- see if it exists as a .pet, or if there is a discussion about it.

The dapper link is in the second post of this thread. I would like to work through this as well; maybe someone can give another program that would work in the same way as the O.P. intended in his example?

Edit:

To Agnishom,

I'm going to try to work through the first example from this:


Edit: Removed link; see next post.

Obviously, click on save file. :wink:

After trying the ia64 deb, I found it did not work. I am using Fatdog64.

Code: Select all

# ls
zynaddsubfx_2.4.0-1+b1_ia64.deb
# 
# for i in `ls *.deb`; do undeb $i; shift; done
# usr/bin/zynaddsubfx:
sh: usr/bin/zynaddsubfx:: No such file or directory
# usr/bin/zynaddsubfx 
sh: usr/bin/zynaddsubfx: cannot execute binary file


So then I downloaded the AMD deb from here:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/zynaddsubfx

I would guess that most puppies would use the i386 deb. Anyway I got this to work so far.

Code: Select all

# ls
zynaddsubfx_2.4.0-1+b1_amd64.deb
# for i in `ls *.deb`; do undeb $i; shift; done
# usr/bin/zynaddsubfx
usr/bin/zynaddsubfx: error while loading shared libraries: libmxml.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've got to get some sleep. It seems that I am able to do what the OP intended for his lesson. I'll work on it another day.

Is there anything I need to install to change the volume by the terminal? Tried with retrovol and alsactl but couldn't find anything. Thanks a lot in advance :)

'alsamixer' may be what you want.

or try

Code: Select all

amixer --help
syntax in terminal would be:

Code: Select all

amixer sset Master toggle
to toggle mute on/off or

Code: Select all

amixer sset Master 85%
to set volume to specified level

when done, you can save setting with

Code: Select all

alsactl -f /etc/asound.state store
and save to your savefile/folder
