I wish /someone/ were sure why...would help to understand what's going on under the hood. But I assure you: the association w/*.torrent did /not/ take effect until after I rebooted the system. I did /not/ first try, however, logging in and logging out. Be that as it may, yes, it sure is strange for any Linux distro to behave in that manner.666philb wrote:hi PupPupAndAway
not sure why you needed a reboot, as seamonkey associated with torrents straight away with me......
Okay, I just found the "magnet" option, so I just associated w/Tixati. And this time I didn't need to reboot, or even reload.not sure about magnet links in wary though, they associate fine in lucid puppy.
Thanks, I've just begun to figure out the ip blocking setup.as for ip blocking there's this but i'm not sure if if works on wary http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=47654
Yes, I've already found that option...but there was no indication if I still need to download, say, nipfilter.dat.gz or similar commonly distributed file. Just because the program didn't alert me ("hey, you may have ip filtering turned on, but you still need to download the appropriate file")...doesn't mean everything's A-OK, eh?however transmission has a blocklist setting in it's preferences.
So I had to be sure by asking...does the ip filter list come built into Tixati, so I'm good to go?
Are you sure about that? Why would an application "break" simply because I installed it?and transmission is already installed and working in wary!! installing a different transmission must have broken the original.
My bad, though, I don't recall ever installing it. My wording was improper, in my haste to report this error. I meant that it was installed already in Puppy...but it would never run. But Tixati is an improvement, no?
Anywayz, I search Puppy Package Manager for "transmission"...and installed it. Whaddya know: Transmission now /does/ load as it should! So I can definitely confirm that installing it /over/ the original does /not/ "break" the application...in fact, it makes it /work/, finally.l
Another issue: Tixati keeps asking me if I want it to be the default magnet link handler, as well as the default decentralize sharing channel link handler. I click on "yes" every time, but it still forces me to go through these two questions each time I load the program. I've also checked "always check on startup"...so I guess this setting doesn't register in whatever configuration file is required, to make this setting permanent?
Thanks, but that latest version /is/ already in the Package Manager.wary's original transmission is here http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_pa ... 1-i386.pet
I originally installed Puppy to the tc4400, so I could run the internal dialup. But since having one miserable experience after another, installing Mint and Ubuntu distros, I now must rely on Puppy as my backup OS. Very nice.
I'd prefer to run Puppy as my /only/ OS on the tc4400...but I do need tablet features. Is there a pet module for that? AFAIK, there isn't...and only a few of the most recent distros (Mint, Ubuntu, OpenSuse) now include tablet abilities and applications. Trying Kubuntu now, as Mint 12 seems to crash on ext4 installs...Kubuntu does not.
