event-sound-cache.tdb......i686-pc-linux-gnu (total 585) Yes, they can accumulate sometimes. As I said above, I am confident that those can be deleted. If you look in the other thread (link in the first post of this thread) you will see there is a version of libcanberra which I compiled for ...

I am confident that they don't serve any useful function in Puppy and that they can be deleted. They arise as part of a process designed to produce audible (sound) notifications when certain system events happen, but this is not implemented in Puppy at all. This involves libcanberra. The Ubuntu (and ...

openssl3 builds of Sylpheed are needed to fully complete the update to openssl3 (@OscarTalks ?) I tried compiling sylpheed-3.7.0 in ScPup after upgrading openssl to version 3.1.0 (which I also compiled from source). It does appear to link to the openssl3 libraries OK, but others will need to report ...

Could anyone who uses S15Pup tell me if Transmission works on their setup? I'm not sure if it's a firewall issue or something.

Just wanted to report that I tested transmission in fresh boots of 64bit and 32bit S15Pup and both worked for me, even with firewall enabled with default settings.

Hello mow, I have a frugal of the latest F96_2 with no save (set up on a different machine from the one I am using now) and when I open Login and Security Manager it is the same as yours. It does not not offer me anything to tick to run-as-spot. I believe that in this version, there is no palemoon ...

OscarTalks

OK, first thing, in tixati, to select download location there is a "settings" button near top right corner (2 gear wheels). That opens the settings window, under the "Transfers" section, click the "Locations" item and you should be able to set something like /mnt/home as the location (outside of pup ...

Open the Puppy Package Manager from Menu > Setup
Search for transmission-3.00-x86_64-fossa
Install that and see if it works better for you.

OscarTalks

Hello again PFO, In the post I made above I gave you a complete package of OpenOffice which has been set up for everything including the Puppy menu entries. All you have to do is download the one file (package) and use the SFS-Load program to "Install" it. This will confirm whether or not OpenOffice ...

Hello dcung, I have some experience with compiling VLC, but unfortunately I tend to forget details after a while. I can tell you that VLC needs to be compiled with live555 libraries installed so that the live555 plugin gets created and included at build time. It is an optional dependency, but ...

I'm on BP64 I see that the Ubuntu repository has Python 3.7. Would I just add that, or would I have to remove 3.6 first, and would that bother other programs which may be running 3.6 presently? To be honest I am not really sure and would not want to steer you in the wrong direction. As a general ...

OscarTalks

Will the Fossa version run on Bionic64? I'm not sure if it will. No-one seems to have reported either way (EDIT - I think it does work if you install libwebpdemux via PPM as indicated) I didn't have a frugal of Bionic64 to hand the other day, but I dug one out and had a go at compiling. As ...

Compiled from source in S15Pup, the small .pet packages below add an extra loader library for the webp image format to the gdk-pixbuf program. This enables displaying of .webp image files in viewnior S15Pup does ship with the vwebp exectuable as a viewer, but being able to use viewnior is better ...

OscarTalks

Hello vtpup It would be quite a simple case of installing a .pet of this little library which is an extra loader for gdk-pixbuf. Viewnior uses gdk-pixbuf to display the images so it is not a case of patching viewnior. Thanks to norgo for confirming that it works. The developer does seem to be ...

OscarTalks

I'm afraid vwebp is a small viewer only for webp files so will not open other formats. What you can do (as I have done on my system) is have all the other image formats set to open with "defaultimageviewer", but the left click MIME association in ROX is set to open .webp files with vwebp viewer ...

OscarTalks

If you just want a viewer, this is vwebp which is a viewer utility which comes with the libwebp source.

For yt-dlp I just compile a later version of python3
I have 3.8.16 in my StretchPup at present and ran yt-dlp with it yesterday.
On BarryK's blog there is a post about continued development of youtube-dl which I believe still works with python2.7 so that may give an alternative option.

OscarTalks

Hello PFO, Your previous post suggests you are running BionicPup 32bit If you are happy to run a slightly earlier version of OpenOffice I do have a package which I believe all works OK including all the menu entries. Otherwise unless someone has made a more recent package you would have to quite a ...

Apologies if I am misunderstanding, not sure if there are other tasks relating to midi which the OP requires, from reading the thread I am a little unclear. The mention of "from within programs" and "doesn't have to be timidity" made me want to ask for clarification.

OscarTalks

Does anyone know how I can set up midi in S15Pup64 so I can get it to work from within programs? In Slacko 5.7 all I did was install the 2 pets from this old post and that was it. I'm looking for something that just works so it doesn't have to be specifically Timidity. Are you just looking for ...

OscarTalks

Hello PFO You really need to tell us what version of Puppy you are running. I would not normally expect to see a "program files" directory in the root of the linux filesystem as your post suggests, so that looks a little strange. The file at the end of that string is a .deb package which you would ...

OscarTalks

Compiles without much difficulty. Requires libxcb-ewmh which I have included in the package. Menu entries are in the Utility section. I don't really know how useful it is or if it is working as intended. I have not studied the usage details. Uploaded as .pet for testing, but obviously with no ...

OscarTalks

Sounds like the devx is not loaded properly. You need to place the downloaded devx.sfs in a suitable location and then load it with the SFS-Load program. You don't "install" it. Try the command which gcc in terminal. Does it return /usr/bin/gcc ? EDIT:- Did a test build, see here:- https://forum ...

Before I reboot I pick the card 2 (last one Saiyin USB) as the default card and .retrovolrc is also set correctly, but when I reboot it reverts back to card0 This is not so easy to advise about without having your hardware in front of me, but I can offer a couple of possible pointers. In the file ...

This is one I compiled from source in S15Pup64 some time ago.
Doing this should mean that it is "install and go" with all libraries matched and linked, making it much smaller than the total size if using PPM as well.

The title describes the question, What determines the menu options available when you right click over a File or Directory? Where did mpv Media Player and pMediainfo come from? I could be wrong about this, but I think those extra right-click options appear via another mechanism (besides the ...

I use 3.10 on Windows 10. While ppm has Python-3.6 (which I installed), It doesn't have pip3. Why not compile from the source? First PL doesn't come with GCC installed. Second, it seems to build a program from the source defeats the purpose of using PL in the first place. I might as well do a full ...

OscarTalks

What I want to do is install 3.10 without using the source code. I am curious to know:- Why you need version 3.10 ? Why do you not want to use the source code? The official Ubuntu Bionic version of Python3 is 3.6 as you have already observed. I would expect the Package Manager to offer you this if ...

This is the official version downloaded from mozilla and made into a .pet Puppy package which does seem to work in S15Pup64 Version is firefoxESR-102.6.0 If you wish to try it:- Uninstall any other versions of firefox Download this one and click on it to install it http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks ...

I found that Psip in 64 bit does not regularly connect to Diamondcard (Ex Ekiga Call Out to telephone to PSTN numbers) but it properly works with an IPTEL account and virtual accounts. Maybe I was someway deactivated the service with Diamondcard even though I was able to connect in random cases ...

Hello and welcome back to Puppy Forum Land There is a known issue involving "not cleanly unmounted" messages after shutdown, but I am not sure if that is what you are experiencing here. It happens only in ext2 partitions (and maybe ext2 save-files) so I would ask if the partition in which the save ...
