Slacko 5.7 Package Manager Missing?

#1 Post by John51 »

I just frugal installed 5.7 NO PAE on an older Compaq NC 4400. Everything seems to work fine except when try to start the package manager nothing happens? MD5sum is good. Suggestions?

type "ppm" in the terminal, see what errors it might spit.

I see... :roll:
Next puppy will have a "special secret app" that as soon as someone posts in the forum another 3-words-bug ("Is not working"), will connect to a "developer's computer" so the developer can monitor what is happening in your machine that is not happening in his/her.
So "magically" will figure out why something tested extensively by him/her and many other users, is not working in your specific case.
Till the next puppy version however will be helpful to provide some more info other than "is not working".
