Sage, as I said to Linuxcbon, I no longer have a problem after
updating SM.

Can you anyway do the test with old SM from shell ? It's good to know what happens and what it is...

Linuxcbon, no, I have no interest in the outdated SM at all.

linuxbon: I think he's trying to say 'thank you for taking the time' , but maybe he wasn't brought up well with good manners?

How about building Wary with only a light browser like Dillo, plus Uget for those on dial-up?
Then anyone can get whatever full-featured browser they want.
And BarryK won't have to deal with any SM-related problems.
Aren't they already doing something like that with Lucid?

Dillo is fast but not complete, no javascript and no css float.
Did you try it at

Once again, let me explain one prob already explained, I have RTL8111/8168B :
1/ /lib/firmware has 6 files, none seems needed.
2/ r8169 is loaded, but it should be r8168. See
www.realtek.com LINUX driver for kernel 3.x and 2.6.x and 2.4.x is r8168-8.035.00.tar.bz2
So for this, r8168 should be compiled and r8169 blacklisted. (Note r8169 works too).

( I guess you installed this : skype_static-2.1.0.81 )
Can you click on "console" icon and type skype ? Tell what error messages are shown ?
(there is an alternative to skype if you have sip, it's linphone

Racy 5.5. Another bug :
Save
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13579707/N9Y4AAAAMAAJ.pdf
Open that pdf file with epdfview from shell.
Code: Select all
Error (74600): Error in JPX stream
And takes 60% CPU to go to the next page.
See
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15629
epdfview is not developped anymore ?
http://trac.emma-soft.com/epdfview/ down.
Any better pdf reader ?

The problem isn't with epdfview - it's with the version of libpoppler that it uses.
I didn't check Racy, but Wary 5.5 uses the very old libpoppler-7 and shows the same symptoms as you reported.
However, Slacko 5.5 uses libpoppler-26 and handles your test PDF fine.

So why didnt you report it here ?

linuxcbon & rcrsn51,
I can confirm that: all the console pdfto* utilities are of no use because the libpoppler.so.19 library is not there.
Working on it now.

Ok, here's a freshly compiled drop-in replacement for whatever poppler-ish material exists in wary 5.5 (untried in racy 5.5). This means it should replace all the pdfto*, pdfinfo, etc., utilities and the corresponding libraries. This version, poppler-0.22.2 is dated March 11, 2013 (10 days ago). It contains the executables and the corresponding libraries.
Please download from :
http://limelinx.com/c617i Should you wish to preview the contents, a directory and file listing of this *.pet archive is attached below in g'zipped text format.

Enjoy!

Yes, I use it all the time.
Dillo's limitations won't prevent you from visiting either
here or
here and downloading the full browser of your choice.
(either with Dillo or a download manager such as Uget or Wget)
This also works with Mozilla's official builds.
(Haven't tried any of the others.)

In wary 5.5 I use successfully skype 2.2.0.35. You can download the tar.bz2 archive from my shared link:
http://www.4shared.com/file/StyW-ofz/sk ... 35tar.html
Click on the archive, select all and extract to /usr/local. Then copy in /usr/bin the binary skype from the directory you extracted. From /usr/bin you can create a link to the desktop or launch "skype" in console. I have to say that I install from puppy3 repository qt 3.3.8 but I don't know if it is necessary.

I am not seeing a problem with libpoppler in Wary 5.5. All of the pdfto* tools work correctly.
I believe that the only issue here is updating libpoppler to handle linuxcbon's particular PDF file. All you need are:
Code: Select all
libpoppler-glib.so.8 -> libpoppler-glib.so.8.6.0
libpoppler.so.35 -> libpoppler.so.35.0.0
Then epdfview can be compiled against them to make a version that reads his PDF.

Barry, for privacy, can you do this ?
Code: Select all
rm -r /root/.adobe/
rm -r /root/.macromedia/
ln -s /dev/null /root/.adobe
ln -s /dev/null /root/.macromedia

Doesn't load in zathura either, but in foxitreader, it's ok.
