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.

References : http://poppler.freedesktop.org/ (author's web site); http://poppler.freedesktop.org/poppler-0.22.2.tar.gz (source code)

Enjoy!

Did you try it at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=52534
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.)

Re: skype problem

EgyB wrote:Can someone help me?

I run racy 5.5 from usb stick.
I install skype 2.1 over install puppy package.

When I log in skype it won't work. Just freeze and keep skype logo (arrow which go in circle) running, but nothing else...
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.

linuxcbon,
to be on the safe side, should I run these commands before remastering *any* puppy? No side effects?

Concerning the pdf issue, I informed Pemasu that his precise
3.8.3.1 and his wheezy 3.5.2.5 also have problems. I thought his
reply was interesting:

To get a working reference that handles the graphical illustrations
ok he used Google chrome browser instead of slacko.

sfs and desktop icons

#106 Post by broomdodger »

sfs and desktop icons

If I re-arrange desktop icons, then add an sfs like devx_racy_5.5.sfs, and reboot... the desktop icons are messed up.

Is there a way to prevent that, to keep my desktop icons order?

Wary and Racy 5.5, released March 3, 2013

#107 Post by Monsie »

Hi Barry,

The Service Pack for Wary 5.5 does not show the version update to 5.5.1 in DISTRO_SPECS and therefore HardInfo does not report the update either. While I can edit DISTRO_SPECS to reflect the version update, the change is not permanent, but session specific only. I am wondering if there is a bug in the pinstall.sh script?

Also, while running Pupmode 13 I am noticing that sometimes my mounted flash drive is reported as: sdb1 and following a re-boot it is reported as: sdc1 Note that I have two flash drives plugged in all the time and at same location, but I am not sure why the drive labels are changing intermittently... maybe a timing issue with hardware detection?

Thanks,
Monsie

I'm reporting what I guess is a bug. It seems the HP 210-1010NR touchpad just doesn't want to allow right click. I have tried many things to get it working and still doesn't work on Precise and Racy 5.5

See this thread for what I have personally tried (maybe something I tried could end up working if someone with more knowledge in this could try it):

Barry can you please compile all kernels for 486 ? Because many computers won't boot on racy, like the amd k6, k6-2, k6-3, geode lx, geode gx1. Is it easy and possible ? Thanks in advance.
