how to get asunder to work on bookwormpup64 10.0.7 ??

[splashgarden]

i've only been using puppy for a maybe a month or so now, so i'm still getting used to how to work all this. i don't get new cds that often, so my memory when it comes to using audio software in puppy is a bit rocky. i know i've used asunder on this os before but i cannot, for the life of me, remember how i did it!

when i download the pet package i found on this forum, it's unusable because i'm met with a popup saying that i need cd paranoia installed (no, installing cdparanoia did not fix this issue). when i try to download the flatpak, it won't install because i don't have enough free memory spce. when i try to download asunder straight off the official website, i can't download it because some more updated software for the installation (no, installing older versions does not work :/)

where am i going wrong? thanks in advance for your help and patience with my lack of puppy knowledge ^_^

You can try installing directly from the Debian repos:

Code: Select all

# apt install asunder

Or use Synaptic.

This will install other packages as well, but when you're done you can restart without saving or run

Code: Select all

# apt purge asunder
# apt autoremove

and be close to where you started.

Or maybe try the appimage here:

ah! i think i used the debian repo to install it last time i ripped some cds! i can't believe i forgot that that existed... i've been using my computer for just basic tasks these past fews months since switching to linux, so i was just used to using flatpak before i switched to puppy and didn't really mess with the distro-specific repos much, so i'm still getting used to that ㅠㅠ

i'll try that tomorrow and see if it works or if i still run into storage issues. thank you again!!!

when i download the pet package

Uninstall this pet package by using the Package Manager (legacy) uninstall.
So you are starting clean.

Using apt package manager in BookwormPup64

In a terminal.

First run

Code: Select all

apt update

to get the repository info updated on what is in the repositories.

To install run:

Code: Select all

apt install asunder

It installed and is working for me.

Hi llovegate,

Just to be certain you understand. For about twenty years Puppy's native packages were pets, and all Puppys include tools not only to deploy them (Puppy Package Manager), but also to create them; e.g. dir2pet on the drop-down menu. They do not (yet) have an application to create the 'deb' package format. Puppians still publish applications as pets and there are many such pets created specifically for Puppys. Puppy Package Manager has access to the repositories of it's 'binary-compatible' distro. In the case of Bookwormpup those are the debian Bookworm repos, and can install 'debs'. But PPM isn't as thorough as apt/synaptic in identifying an application's dependencies. Which is why apt/synaptic was built into BookwormPup.
So the 'Rule of Thumb' is only use PPM to install pet packages. For anything else, use apt/synaptic.

Many Puppies have dpkg-deb.
