is backward compatible with RPi (one). The Puppy originally packaged with the compendium of OSes should still work. Maybe BK can tweek that one a bit prior to a larger commitment of time for a complete update?RaspberryPi2B
Uh, maybe not - it was on an originally issued compendium for RPi of which the Puppy element was a secondary offering. BK must have it in his archives, though?Ally should have it archived.
Which recent LibreOffice? This one: http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky ... l-i686.pet ?rameshiyer wrote:I have installed recent Libre Office in Quirky Unicorn , however, it is not working ?
It was compiled in April 7.0.2, and that is what it needs.rameshiyer wrote:Libre Office is latest one only. It is not working Quirky Unicorn as well as Quirky April 7. As reported by you, It is just come up in the desktop and vanishes. My installation is full hard disk.
I am getting following output while trying to run through command line:-
# swriter# swriter
/opt/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If so, I find that it works perfectly on USB sticks. It is not the complete LibreOffice either, but only the Writer/word processor. And it did not work on either hard drive partition running Quirky 6.1.4. On both hard drives partitions, I was able to download and install with no problems, but when opening the program, it flashes the opening graphics and then it vanishes!
So, if you need to use the writer, it will install to USB stick, work like a million bucks--and away you go!
I rewrote guess_fstype and blkid as a combined single toy for toybox and used a much simplified detection mechanism. Rob Landley fixed it up to be able to read from stdin so you can do stuff like gunzip pupsave.2fs.gz | fstype (it only reads until the fs is detected). You can build fstype as a single "toy", but It wouldn't be that hard for me to make it standalone if there is a need for it.BarryK wrote:I never examined the source code, it may be that the first partition, with UEFI-bootable and legacy-bios flags both set, upsets guess_fstype.
Hi Barry, was this compiled under T2?BarryK wrote:OK, have compiled LibreOffice 4.4.1.2, for April i686 7.0.2:
Here is the PET (109.8MB):

Next, I will compile for April64.
fun is there a copy for us to play, want to see a lz4_HC kernel expand, also can we fatten it up a bit just never expected me to say that ( and its no longer April Fools Day ) it would not be much data there to show the speed improvements it offers.technosaurus wrote:Sorry for the spam Barry but I thought this gparted news would be more relevant to Quirky users than other pups due to the roots method and efi.
Gparted's recent release now supports unpartitioned disks and GPT partitioning (finally). This is a requirement for booting efi root partitions using the root=PARTUUID=... (which is the GPT/efi UUID)
This significantly reduces boot times (especially on systems with multiple drives) since device probing isn't needed. The only way I have been able to get a marginally faster desktop boot was with an uncompressed xvesa+jwm+netsurf-fb kiosk initramfs inside an lz4-HC compressed kernel, but that only brought it down from ~0.8s to ~0.6s.
I suspect you have already tried the following...don570 wrote:I still can't get pschedule to do the following

AHA! Your last two posts on LibreOffice in this thread explains quite a few things! Thanks, again!BarryK wrote:My PET is almost the full suite.

But all the other components are there: writer, draw, impress, calc.
-- they are scattered around the menu.
No. I had to do some awful hacks. Haven't been brave enough to try it in T2 yet.gcav wrote:Hi Barry, was this compiled under T2?BarryK wrote:OK, have compiled LibreOffice 4.4.1.2, for April i686 7.0.2:

Well, there is a project for you, if you would like to take it on!don570 wrote:To Barry some suggestions:
Is it possible to paint some green around the green check mark to avoid the
