Re: How to install Python 3 on Quirky7 lite?

export OPENSSLDIR=/etc/ssl
export SSL_CERT_DIR=/etc/ssl/certs"

These have to be run before starting python in order to access data on websites. However their effect is not permanent.

Where should i place the lines?

OPENSSLDIR=/etc/ssl
SSL_CERT_DIR=/etc/ssl/certs"

Re: Installing Python 3 on Quirky7 lite

IMHO the AS site is a bit of a mess! Eventually came across this https://docs.activestate.com/activepython/3.8/get/linux/ Which implies glibc2.17 is needed! Anyway, followed the tarball recipe and did everything on sda3, the windows 7 partition. The tarball is ~500mb and took ages to unzip. 2gb of ...

Re: Installing Python 3 on Quirky7 lite

Did you manage to intall AS python using glibc 2.2? AS say that it needs glibc 2.3. AFAIAA there isnt a glibc2.3 available for puppy.

How to install Python 3 on Quirky7 lite?

AFAICS there are 2 possibilities 1) Install Miniconda followed by a few additional packages using the conda tool. They don't list any dependencies. https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/linux.html 2) Install Activestate python followed by any additional packages using pip ...

Re: Can't install Palemoon with portabrowser in April7

Thanks for that Mike; your suggestion worked. Unfortunately that isnt the solution. Each time a scrippt is run it generates a new url to pass to the browser. I need to pass the url to palemoon inside bash. Presumably if the bash script were to edit LAUNCH and then call LAUNCH (and then remove the ...

Re: I want a modern puppy that boots fast from DVD

I've decided to try
april64-7.0.1F-uefi.iso
It is faster than Fatdog but not as fast as Wary.
I'm now having problems installing Palemoon, will continue this on new thread
Thanks to all who replied

Re: I want a modern puppy that boots fast from DVD

Thanks for the replies

1) I readup on speeding up fatdog. It all looks too dificult for me.

2) Using Wary5 on cd, the bootup time is about 10s from switchon. I would like something similar.

3) Currently thinking of another pupy - pupstrech64 or fossapup perhaps?
