racy fixed no more disappearing windows
starts ok when pupsave is there.
lupufy (may be superfluous by adds may good things)

of course you also need /mnt/sdb3/opera-next-11.50-1040.i386.linux with latest libflashplayer.so parked on that same (sdb3) partition.

Hi,

I tried installing (german) language file for Seamonkey 2.3.1 in Racy, but on mozila-project the links are broken. Knows anybody a running source to get the *.xpi file(s)?

cmus is an amazing music player.
http://cmus.sourceforge.net/

Note: current version is:
cmus-v2.4.2.tar.bz2, released 24.07.2011
Tried to compile, but pulse audio missing and
I do not know how to install it.

So... installed cmus-2.3.3-w5.pet from PPM.

Starting cmus:
cmus: Error: libavformat.so.52: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is installed:
/usr/lib/libavformat.so.53
/usr/lib/libavformat.so.53.13.0

Checked wary514 and it has libavformat.so.52
cmus runs with NO error.

I found cmus 2.4.2 pet:
http://www.smokey01.com/coolpup/
cmus-2.4.2-w-20111002.pet

It installs without errors.
More later.

Thanks for all this Puppy work! I enjoy using it on my old computer (which I work with daily).

Claws-Mail is an essential piece of software for me. I tried to get the latest version work. So far, no success. Before I will describe the installation steps I tried, isn't is easy for someone who compiles the Puppy if there is a T2 package available of claws-mail ( http://www.t2-project.org/packages/claws-mail.html )?

How can this be achieved to have an update Claws-Mail working with Puppy? If there would be easy steps to follow (mentioning really all the steps including any tiny command, I would be happy to learn to do it as well. )

With Lucy based Puppies I installed the debs and the libraries to make claws-mail work. With Racy I get the error message:

claws-mail: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by claws-mail)

Before that, I installed claws-mail_3.7.10-1ubuntu1~ppalucid0ubuntu1_i386.deb and
libetpan15_1.0-1lucidubuntu4_i386.deb. In racy all the following additional packages where requested on startup of claws-mail (here ordered alphabetically, not in order of request):

libbluetooth3_4.60-0ubuntu8_i386.deb
libcompfaceg1_1.5.2-5_i386.deb
libdb4.8_4.8.24-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
libdbus-1-3_1.2.16-2ubuntu4.3_i386.deb
libdbus-glib-1-2_0.84-1ubuntu0.2_i386.deb
libgcrypt11_1.4.4-5ubuntu2_i386.deb
libgnutls26_2.8.5-2_i386.deb
libgpg-error0_1.6-1ubuntu2_i386.deb
libgssapi-krb5-2_1.8.1+dfsg-2ubuntu0.10_i386.deb
libk5crypto3_1.8.1+dfsg-2ubuntu0.10_i386.deb
libkeyutils1_1.2-12_i386.deb
libkrb5-3_1.8.1+dfsg-2ubuntu0.10_i386.deb
libkrb5support0_1.8.1+dfsg-2ubuntu0.10_i386.deb
libldap-2.4-2_2.4.21-0ubuntu5.6_i386.deb
liblockfile1_1.08-3ubuntu1_i386.deb
libpisock9_0.12.4-7ubuntu1_i386.deb
libsasl2-2_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu1_i386.deb
libtasn1-3_2.4-1_i386.deb

However, the last error message was the one mentioned above (claws-mail: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by claws-mail)).

Ha! Been asking for Claws for a while. One kind soul tried to help me with Claws but it didn't work. Only use Claws & EudoraOSE. There's .pet s for the latter (just sent my copies to 01micko for smokey01 website). Otherwise use Claws in Mint!

I did post this on Barry's blog but maybe he missed it,
I tried compiling metacity, libcanberra, and even lxtask, And nothing would compile, I had hundreds of lines of Gseal errors in each, Here's the link to the sources that failed to compile.

http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/libcanberra/libcanberra-0.28.tar.gz

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/metacity/2.34/metacity-2.34.1.tar.bz2

http://sourceforge.net/projects/lxde/files/LXTask%20%28task%20manager%29/LXTask%200.1.4/lxtask-0.1.4.tar.gz/download

I think gtk2 needs to be patch and recompiled for the Gseal errors,

I've made Right-click compatible to Slacko and Racy so the menu
options should all work.

@Sage: Thanks for your comment.

Actually, I have claws-mail working in lucid based puppy ( nowadays Puppy 5.28 and macpup 5.28 ) after having downloaded claws-mail packages from the Ubuntu ppa one by one and adding in one or the other library from the package manager in puppy. Someday earlier, I also went through the process of compiling it in Puppy itself. Both steps are rather lengthy. Thus, I hoped that the T2 package is more straight forward to get it going.

I do like the look and feel of racy though. And in racy wireless internet worked out of the box, which was not the case for me in Wary.

Thank your for your hint.

I successfully installed a very basic (without any plugins) claws-mail 3.7.10 with the debian packages:

claws-mail_3.7.10-2_i386.deb, libbluetooth2_3.36-1_i386.deb, libcompfaceg1_1.5.2-4_i386.deb, libcurl3-gnutls_7.18.2-8lenny5_i386.deb, libdbus-1-3_1.2.1-5+lenny2_i386.deb, libdbus-glib-1-2_0.76-1_i386.deb, libetpan15_1.0-5_i386.deb, libgcrypt11_1.4.1-1_i386.deb, libgnutls26_2.12.14-3_i386.deb, libgnutls26_2.8.5-2_i386.deb, libgpg-error0_1.4-2_i386.deb, libldap-2.4-2_2.4.11-1+lenny2.1_i386.deb, libpisock9_0.12.3-5_i386.deb, libsasl2-2_2.1.22.dfsg1-23+lenny1_i386.deb

When claws-mail requested the missing libdb-5.1.so, I found
libdb5.1_5.1.25-11_i386.deb. There a link was required: ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdb-5.1.so /usr/lib/libdb-5.1.so

liblockfile1_1.08-3_i386.deb, libtasn1-3_1.4-1_i386.deb, libkrb53_1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-5lenny6_i386.deb, libkeyutils1_1.2-9_i386.deb

So, if somebody would like to join in getting claws going I am more than happy to provide a head start sending over all the individual deb files (5.6MB). They should also be free to distribute I assume being based on Debian, so I could also upload them somewhere.

Regarding the glibc error with the ubuntu files. I used Lucid files from the ppa. These claws-mail files work fine in 5.28. In racy I also got the same error message when installing umplayer with qt4 from pemasu's polarpup.

I made a pet of Seamonkey 2.5 and tested it in wary 5.2.2 and racy 5.2.2
