Hello Jasper, Thanks for the report. I was able to compile celluloid-0.26 in BookwormPup64 with my GTK4 package This latest release of celluloid does now depend on libadwaita which I added using extracted .debs There are some GTK warnings in terminal, not sure what the cause of those is, but it play...

I think the GTK4 package I compiled in BookwormPup64 is working. I have uploaded it for testing and for anyone curious here:- http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks/gtk-4.8.3-x86_64-bkwm.pet Main runtime package http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks/gtk_DEV-4.8.3-x86_64-bkwm.pet Dev files needed for compiling http...

Just as a bit of information, (sorry it doesn't help with Bionic or Fossa but..) I was able to compile GTK4 from the source tarball in BookwormPup64 This is version 4.8.3 which is the same as the official Debian Bookworm package. I did make a few tweaks to the meson options file such as disabling in...

Either way I would like to stay with the official fossapup64 version as it its easier to trouble shoot any problems in the future. If you want a Pup that uses Focal Fossa packages, there is FossaPup 9.6 (as opposed to 9.5) otherwise known as F96-CE (as suggested above) which is an "official&qu...

The original post and the other post lower down shows that the .desktop file has the line:- NoDisplay=true This will cause the program to not show up in the Menu If you want a Menu entry to be there, either remove the line completely, or change it to:- NoDisplay=false Seems unusual for a GUI program...

pmcputemp 0.63g (issue - small memory leak).

I believe the memory leak was fixed with some assistance from jamesbond. Check out the latest source from 01micko's github and see the latest commits (3 years ago).
The ones I compiled now show as version 0.90

Check to see if the firefox process is called something else such as firefox-esr and if so edit the script accordingly. I'm not in F96 right now but I take it by "since ESR" you mean you have changed from regular firefox to firefox ESR ? EDIT:- Looking in F96 now, there is firefox_esr (wit...

My immediate problem is the black desktop. The taskbar is still there, and a right click on the desktop still brings up the menu. I can still use the computer with a black desktop, but it slows me down a lot and is a major annoyance. [So my question is: Is there a setting somewhere that turns the d...

Hello Rappel25, Well, /opt/MullvadVPN/resources is actually a path to a directory rather than a file (if the symlink is in place to resolve the issue of the space in the name). This directory needs to be set as an environment variable I think. The systemd file is installed at:- /usr/lib/systemd/syst...

OscarTalks

I can help a bit but don't have the full solution Linux does not like the space in the directory name "Mullvad VPN" So in /opt I also created a symlink without the space in the name so it is "MullvadVPN" Then the path you want to launch the GUI becomes /opt/MullvadVPN/mullvad-vpn...

Maybe I am not understanding the question. If you want maximum flexibility to save or not to save at any time, leave the interval time at zero and also tick the box so that you are asked at shutdown if you want to save the session or not. If by "skip the save session" you mean not saving a...

Installed on brand new 10.0.6 frugal install and it worked paired with my phone with Android 10. Would you share what you ran to get it into a .pet file? I'd like to know how to do that. Thanks for the report, glad it works on later androids. If you are compiling it yourself it would be "new&q...

Scrcpy (share android phone screen with your pc screen, keyboard and mouse) didn't make it into Debian Bookworm. The Sid version is ancient. I wrote a quick explanation of how to install it in Bookworm 64 Puppy, which requires compiling it, but it's easy. https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?...

I believe the file will be found under /etc/simple_network_setup But with SNS you should also be able to delete profiles from within the GUI. There is a "Profiles" tab which lists profiles with a number for each one and then you have a small button with a number corresponding to each profi...

Always a good tip is to copy and paste your post somewhere before attempting to submit it. Especially true if you have spent a long time composing it, which of course makes it all the more annoying if your work gets lost. If you have made a copy you can log in again and paste and then send it after ...

In my dpup builds, I intentionally don't provide devx, so users can specifically install the package they want, without having to download a 100 MB+ SFS. For every use case of devx, a subset of the packages in devx is enough, and this subset is smaller to download and easier to install through the ...

Problem: So me pets while successfully installing do not work. BleachBit and Audacious specifically. Both install without missing libraries or messages. However when clicking on menu item for each, nothing happens. Don't know why the pets do not work. Any ideas? This version of Audacious was compil...

When you select settings, a window opens that appears to have no close button. If you then click on the main window, the settings window closes, but simple-scan freezes and can only be ended with kill. The other settings windows have a close button and work as expected. I believe this is a "kn...

I have been experimenting with compiling VLC-3.0.20 from source in BookwormPup64 Generally all seems to build OK and work well. Some optional dependencies are included, a few are left out. In the case of many of these dependencies, the shared library is built-in to the Pup, but the corresponding DEV...

BookwormPup64-10.0.4 I see that multimedia playlist files with the suffix .m3u and also .m3u8 show up in ROX as plain text files when really they should usually be set to be opened by a media player (although you should be able to right-click and open as text if you want to). There may be a better w...

Compiled from source with --disable-tdb these small libcanberra .pet packages should prevent creation and accumulation of /root/.cache/event-sound-cache.tdb cache files.
A bit more information in the 64bit discussion thread here:-
viewtopic.php?p=110516#p110516

OscarTalks

As with other Debian/Ubuntu pups, if you look in hidden directory /root/.cache you may see that event-sound-cache.tdb* files are created and these accumulate over time. Not the end of the world, but they don't serve any useful purpose. As I understand it, event sounds are not working in Puppy becaus...

OscarTalks

The way I would approach it is to compare the files in the original Puppy with the new files in the corresponding positions (hopefully) in the directory tree of the package. If that all looks OK the next step for me if I were testing would be to extract or copy out the main puppy .sfs as a directory...

OscarTalks

sonny, I think you need to check all your configure options first of all to make sure everything is as we would want it. Some of those paths look wrong to me, there should be a lot of those files and directories under --prefix=/usr and not directly under "/". Also the executable and librar...

OscarTalks

The error's gone, but is it the right solution? I think the right solution is to avoid installing incompatible or mismatched files or packages in the first place. Are there any files installed in /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu ? if so I believe they will be user-installed Removing that line will (...

OscarTalks

sonny, Probably you have installed a version of this executable which was compiled against the later glibc (libc6) version. When installing libraries and executable binaries you do always have to be aware of compaibility issues. I sometimes see people installing packages from other distros thinking ...

Posting the libdvdcss library with conventional split-off DEV package which is only needed if you are going to be compiling anything which depends on it. I presume Woof-CE people will decide how best to approach this, does a petbuild need to be set up or should a manually built package be uploaded t...
