hi mikeslr Thanks for posting the extralibs info. The advantage of portable browsers is that you can delete the portable directory and profile with a mouse click. However there is another method which I sometimes use to enable sound in ff and sm. No credit to me but you need a copy of the apulse pet ...

amethyst , mikewalsh , rockedge Not sure if this is the correct place for this but here goes. I think we all use different combinations of hardware and puppy versions.. I am trying to keep 32 bit going as best I can. I find xenial very problematic so i do not use it. Bionic has issues 8.0+10 being ...

Hi @mikewalsh and everyone else. I had been tinkering with mike's palemoon portable. I came across this post when I searched for the version numbers for the files used in the portable version. To start wuth; I booted up just the palemoon directory in safe mode in tahr 6.0.6. Only 3 files were needed ...

waxman

oops to run 91esr not 81esr typo.

waxman

amethyst That is how I ran ff110 in safe mode from the termin al. The error messages are non specific. ff110 is the start of a new series. ff100 series will not boot at all on my updated precise even in safe mode. Note also that ff100 series freezes laptop using tahr6.0.6. Much earlier post in this ...

waxman

amethyst Just to clarify ff110 works perfectly well on tahr6.0.6 so far. But as firefox needs a minimum of gtk 3.14 to even load I am surprised it runs at all in tahr6.0.6 or my precise updated which are both gtk 3.10.8. This leads me to think that the gtk3 version is not as critical as some of the ...

waxman

mikewalsh amethyst Very interesting that ff110 will run in tahr6.0.6. So I downloaded ff110 tarball extracted the firefox directory clicked on firefox and it works. Not mikes portable version, just the extracted tarball, even though tahr6.0.6 has gtk3.10.8. Now it is the standard tahr6.0.6 not the ...

i find with some websites, using firefox, I can view the image online. The url says it is a .jpg but when I download the file it has mysteriously turned itself into a .webp. My solution if I want to view the image offline is to convert the image using xnconvert. The .deb file is availabke here ...

@forthuser

Thanks for the info.
Tells me that mnt is full but that does not appear quite right.
I will let you know how I get on.

@amethyst

Yes the experimental version in the post above was ff102.4esr, But in order to do that some features become disabled. So more work to do.

Trying to get FF99esr to work requires GTK3-3.10,8.

I will try to sort out a cleaned up sfs.

regards

waxman

@amethyst

Thank you for the above I will tinker away some more. Precise does not cause the issue.

regards.

waxman

Sorry typo in post above.

The glibc updates are 2.22, then 2.23/2.27 and then 2.30.

regards

waxman

Just checking out the bionic forums. amethyst said Is there a glibc upgrade for this Puppy (glibc2.30+)? If so a request to someone. Please extract it from the distribution and upload it somewhere, I want to try it with older Puppys. Depending on what you need it for there is a glibc2.3 pet. It is ...

waxman

amethyst Hi, The iso for precise571gtk3-3.10.8ff91.9esr.iso is 454mb including 3 extracted browser tarballs. There are probably some redundant files in there but I have not felt the need to clear them out. The reason I am persisting with precise is because of how snappy it is on my older hardware ...

amethyst PipzDex Hi all Taken some time this. Experimental update to my precise running ff91.9.13 See attached screenshot of ff102.5.0esr running in precise. There are a few issues and work arounds to do to look at. amethyst if the forum allows pm me an address or just postcode and house number and ...

Hi one and all. PipzDex rockedge amethyst Not been logged in for a while - family issues have got in the way for a few months. I will try and catch up with this thread. I am posting this from my precuse 5.7.1 updated using firefox 91.9,1 esr.. Just jappens to be what is burnt into the cd. I only run ...

Hi @amethyst

Just double checked precise 5.7.1 (updated) on my dell c640 p4 with firefox 91.9.1esr.
Stoppit and Tidyup on youtube working just fine with audio. In fact the audio is better quality and louder on this setup.
All hail progress.

hi @amethst

Bit of a typo above.

The reference to the series of updates refers to my rebuilds not yours. Typed on the wrong line.

regards

waxman

hi @amethyst Thanks for your post and the two links to your updated puppies. I will look at those in due course but they are a series of updates. This is chimaera pup with firefox 98.0.2 running on a core2duo. I will have to see what i can do about making the upgrades available. Yes audio works - i ...

Hi guys and girls. Not been logged in on the forum for quite a while. Lots of folks here who do tremendous work to keep linux puppy relevant. Many thanks to everyone. There is so much information in this forum it can be difficult to keep track of it all. Already I am drifting off topic. I am posting ...

waxman

Hi,

Slightly off topic but as of yesterday Startpage is blocking Palemoon browser in exactly the same way.
Have used Startpage and Palemoon for many years but Startpage now useless.

Will try

Quant.com

and

Swisscows.com

Just to confirm that sound is now working in ff89.0.2.
After adding the apulse pet by oscar talks - apulse-0.1.10-i686-wz.pet.
This is using the extracted tarball from firefox and opening the folder and running firefox.

waxman

Just to clarify my simplified version post. It was updated from a remastered iso set up to run ff78esr but would also run ff79. That already had been updated to gtk3-3.4.2 using mikewalsh pet. Also updated; to glibc2.22 and added glib-2.0_schemas.pet and libdbus-precise.pet I download the tarball ...

waxman

to mmmrr I think there is an issue with firefox 80. I have read other posts in other forums about ff80 not loading in other linux distros. I did not get ff80 to run but that may be due to minor differences in my updated precise. Try ff87 it worked for me. mikewalsh is correct, do not use versions ...

waxman

The simplified version After much trial and error this is what appears to work. From messing about with palemoon I knew that slackware packages installed and ran. So I used slackware 14.1 Note that Glib also needs updating due to to changed requirements for function calls after version 2,35, newer ...

OK brief first post. I have used the forum for a few years now as a guest. I use precise 5.7.1 on a Dell P4 laptop as my everyday device, Many thanks to all of the contributors who have helped keep my precise online.
