Proton VPN have a good reputation as far as I know. Their free service is popular so servers are often busy or under heavy load, but they have always worked OK whenever I have tried them. I don't know seed4me VPN. Do they have a client for Linux which they want you to use, is it CLI or a GUI? If ...

OscarTalks

Okay, sounds like something is at least trying to start up but no go. Lots of GTK3 errors so maybe the package I have installed is not quite up to it. Do you have a GTK3 package that will work? I should clarify that I have NOT been able to get latest firefox to run in Precise, but I have not tried ...

OscarTalks

You will need to add libatomic which is not available for Precise but you can grab one from a later Ubuntu distro such as Trusty Tahr and use it in Precise.

OscarTalks

Treat as experimental and use at your own risk, but I have been using it regularly for a long time without any observed problems in my everyday Pups. I have assembled a version of my Simple VPN implementation which I named "vpn-onoff". It is based around openvpn-2.4.10 compiled from source in ...

Not an urgent issue, but I have been looking at Slacko 7.0 and ScPup and the package "neon" which is really just a library (libneon) is listed as devx-only and is present in the devx, but it has a missing dependency libproxy and even if you add libproxy there is a missing libmozjs185 which is not ...

As I understand it, the official position regarding Simple Network Setup is that it is intended to be "simple", which means it works for establishing a connection with the minimum need for user input. Because of this, it lacks certain features such as the facility to set static LAN IP and manual ...

Hello peebee,
Thanks for the response, glad to hear the problem has been identified and resolved.

OscarTalks

I believe I have found the fix. Execute the script /etc/file/recompile_magic.mgc.sh This creates the compiled data file /etc/file/magic.mgc Descriptions of file contents in ROX then appear as they should Compiling output then looks as normal Step 5 Processing /usr/include/libmms/mms_config.h ...

Hello @01micko I don't mind at all, always happy to help. Feel free to tweak or improve as you see fit.

OscarTalks

I have done some test builds in ScPup and also 01Micko's Slacko 7.0 in both 32bit and 64bit I have added the links to my post in the Multimedia section, but will put them here as well since we were discussing it here. ScPup32:- http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks/audacious-4.1-i686-scpup.pet Slacko 7.0 ...

I am getting some very strange output when compiling. I just upgraded my frugal of ScPup64 to 21.04+0 Also the descriptions in ROX "Properties" look peculiar This seems to be coming from the package named "file" When running new2dir make install on anything there are lots of lines like this:- Step 5 ...

OscarTalks

I think this is one of those examples of where installing via PPM in Puppy is not the ideal way. I took a look at ScPup32 (which I had easily to hand) and PPM offers audacious version 3.7.2 but it ends up missing a few things eg neon which is needed for network streaming and stuff. Also we don't ...

OscarTalks

Just wanted to mention that the ScPups (32 and 64) are a bit different from most others in that they have a small kernel_headers .SFS available from the standard download location. You can load this along with the devx if it is required and then often the kernel_sources .SFS is not needed. For some ...

OscarTalks

The problem may be arising from the fact that Ubuntu and Debian have a policy of splitting up packages into smaller packages of different names. The convert executable is included in a package named graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat so you should try installing that via PPM. I have never tried to ...

NetSurf-3.10 very small and very light web browser with some javascript handling.
It is nice and worth having on board, but don't expect it to do all the things that the big browsers do.
Compiled from source in FossaPup

OscarTalks

Thanks for the additional information. I am not familiar with the BullseyePup64 of which you speak. Must take a look at it when I get the chance. I think those control button icons are derived from the GTK theme icon set. I remember reporting to BarryK that some were missing in EasyOS which were ...

OscarTalks

What is the Puppy you are running in which you have observed this? I have never known it to happen and it should not, unless somehow the icons in the package are named so that they overwrite the palemoon icons. Also, can you specify exactly which icons (or where) have been changed. If it is the ...

This is latest firefox 87.0 official package from mozilla. It does start and run in Tahr 6.0.5 32bit if you install libgtk-3 via Puppy Package manager first. There are a lot of warning messages if running in terminal, suggesting it is not fully happy, but it seems to work OK in a brief test here ...

Audacious audio player https://audacious-media-player.org/ Version 4.1 was released in February 2021 This can be compiled for GTK2 or Qt5 or both (if libraries are installed) with switching between the 2 in Preferences. It plays most file formats and network stream formats including parsing of .pls ...

OscarTalks

Thanks for the reply and for testing. Actually I had compiled it in FossaPup a few days earlier and posted in the Contributed Packages thread (no 32bit compatibility SFS needed). You may wish to compare the 2 different builds. There are a few differences between the 2 distros in terms of what ...

OscarTalks

My favourite audio player nowadays. I compiled Audacious 4.1 in BionicPup32. GTK2, no jack, no pulse I have added some important libraries such as mpg123 and neon by compiling from source. These are in /usr/local/lib There is one package which I had to add as a build-time dependency libglib2.0-dev ...

Is the objective to have a Tor Browser that works or is it about being able to get it to work yourself? Would you prefer it to run as spot or as root? As I mentioned earlier in the thread, my packages which I have tweaked for Puppy are available here:- https://yadi.sk/d/7AkxbX4NqJUah I tested 10.0 ...

No jack, no pulse Support for MIDI is enabled via libfluidsynth newest version (2.1.8) compiled from source with no frills and included in package, but as always you have ...

Puppy's core system is unique to Puppy and it is possible that there are some elements of it which are not fully compliant with the standards and conventions of freedesktop.org Now you mention it, I recall that in the past I did also find I had to remove some lines from freedesktop.org.xml (by ...

OscarTalks

Are you sure about that last bit, as i get the opposite behaviour in Fatdog64-811 here. Hello CatDude, It was my understanding of how the priorities are set up in Puppy. Certainly in the older ones (and slightly older ones) which I use the most. I believe PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are set in /etc ...

OscarTalks

The prefix /usr/local is set as default within the source code, but the idea is that the builder (person compiling) should configure the prefix in accordance with the objectives. It is fairly common (certainly in Puppy) for original system files to be under /usr and for packages installed from ...

OscarTalks

althought this thread addresses VLC with Chromecast use in FossaPUP64, I tired to PET on Slacko64 v8.01. This experimental build was configured with the default LIBDIR=/usr/lib which works OK in Fossa it seems. Maybe I should have configured LIBDIR=/usr/lib/x86_64-lixux-gnu as this seems to be ...

OscarTalks

In some of my remasters of Puppies (eg Wheezy and Stretch) I have added MIME types for a few specific file extensions such as .opus (audio files) and .webp (image files). All you have to do is add a few lines of code to the file /usr/share/mime/packages/puppy.xml Define the mime types like this ...

OscarTalks

Without a chromecast device it is impossible to test, but as an experiment I have compiled VLC-3.0.12 in FossaPup. I compiled microdns-0.2.0 from source. The library is included in the package. The needed libprotobuf-lite17 is included in FossaPup Some other protobuf stuff was added at build time ...

OscarTalks

I don't really know what empty is, but I just wanted to let you know that I tried the 0.6.21b source bundle and it compiled without errors in Dpup Wheezy by just running the make command
