How to get Jmule to work on FossaPup-64?

[MrAccident]

https://jmule.org/?page=download
Java from QuickPup - java-8u251-x64.sfs.
I tried to install it in the far past, on Slacko 5.7; and it didn't work. I have the same problem. I get the message -

It is the same version of Jmule ― but a different Puppy and Java version. But here's the thread for reference - http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=101597
I started to read it from the beginning, and got to the dependencies that Semme found (don't even know where); and I can't get them from the code he gave. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 207#872207

O-kay. Here we go.....again.

Referencing your old thread about it, it's hardly surprising you were getting nowhere fast. Yes, you extracted the tarball.....but instead of running the actual .jar file, you then tried to run the entire extracted directory as a Java executable..! It's no wonder it wasn't having it.

Now; I've just run the thing, correctly, in Slacko 5.7.1. The installer comes up for me, as good as gold.....

Would you like some simple instructions? ("Yes PLEASE", he says! )

Right then; pay attention.

------------------------------------------

For a start, you'll need the newest version of Java; you're at least 4 versions behind, there. We're on 8u291 currently; go HERE, please, and follow the link to download the 64-bit version. Also, download the Java Information Utility; this will allow you to check the version of Java you have installed, and more importantly, that's it's installed properly. You'll find this here:-

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y_2q5B ... sp=sharing

Now then:-

Unload any Java SFS you may currently have loaded. Get shot of it afterwards. Copy the new Java SFS to /mnt/home and load it in the normal way....OK?

Then, install the Java Information Utility .pet; this will show up under Menu->Utility. Having installed it, open it via the Menu; the first time, it will tell you a new version of Java is partly installed, and that a re-boot is required. So.....re-boot.

Okay. Having got back to a working desktop, go into Menu->Utility again, and click on the Java Info utility. After a few seconds, it'll open up, and the very first thing it shows at the top of the first tab is "Check your version of Java", or words to that effect. Click this, and confirm that version 8, update 291 is installed.

That should take care of Java.

---------------------------------

Now; use UExtract, or the Xarchiver thing, or whatever you use to extract the tarball. Move the resulting jmule-0.5.8 directory into /opt; this is the best place for it.

Once it's in /opt, click to open the jmule-0.5.8 directory. You should see something like this:-

DON'T click on "jmule.exe". DON'T click on "jmule.jar". Click on jmule.sh. All things being equal, the installer window should pop-up, ready to go.....because the shell-script will be telling the .jar file where to look to find its needed dependencies; these will be in the "lib" subdirectory, and this is WHY you must start it via this script.

From this point on, it's all yours.... Let us know if any of that helps, and please; DO read what I've written slowly & carefully, and take one step at a time. It's hardly rocket-science, y'know.....

-------------------------------

What you do with it once installed, I have NO idea......."eDonkey2000", huh? You're on your own from here on in, mate!

(Oh, BTW; just so you know, ThruHammer IS Semme from the old forum.)

@mikewalsh - the downloads don't work for me. Maybe it's a temporary problem in Google.Drive?

[Trapster]

The 64 bit JRE sfs downloads fine for me.

[mikewalsh]

@MrAccident :-

Try MediaFire :-

You're not the first with this issue.....some people seem to have problems with my Drive a/c, others have no trouble with it at all. It could be related to whether those individuals have a Google a/c themselves; I really wouldn't like to say..!

See if the above link works for you.

Mike.

[ThruHammer]

Nope! Try a different browser.

The downloads don't work for me. Maybe it's a temporary problem in Google.Drive?

And if you did try more than one browser, you left out -- WHICH browsers failed.

Details, Mr.A, mate.

Details.

MediaFire is, let's say, less "temperamental" than GD.

AISB4, NO one browser "does-it-all."

@mikewalsh:

No, I have an account. It didn't work in Pale Moon; I downloaded them with Chromium. J-:

it's hardly surprising you were getting nowhere fast.

I personally think it's the best way to get nowhere. + from there - you can start getting somewhere.

(Oh, BTW; just so you know, ThruHammer IS Semme from the old forum.)

Hah, good to know; hope I'll remember that.

Everything with Java worked. But clicking on /opt/jmule-0.5.8/jmule.sh - doesn't start anything. Am I suppose to download jmule-0.5.8.tar.gz, and extract it? Before asking here ― I already downloaded jmule-0.5.8.jar, and clicked on it; and also downloaded jmule-0.5.8.tar.gz, and clicked on .jar file; maybe that's why it didn't work now.

[mikewalsh]

We need to find out WHY it's not starting.

Go into /opt/jmule-0.5.8. Right-click in an empty space->Window->Terminal here. In the terminal, enter

Code: Select all

./jmule.sh

.....and please post back with the output, if you would.

Mike.

Oh, dear; here we go again...

You DID download & use the appropriate SFS, didn't you? The "amd64" one?

Do this. Open a terminal, and enter

Code: Select all

file /opt/jre/bin/java

You SHOULD get a result similar to the following:-

Code: Select all

/opt/jre/bin/java: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, not stripped

Let us have the output of that, please.

Mike.

[ThruHammer]

Mike! Nuthin works for "Mr. Go'in Nowhere Fast!"

We're gonna have to pull ALL his teef!

When Mr. A says he's a POWER USER, he ain't kid'n!

I certainly feel a bit used after an encounter...

[MrAccident]

Code: Select all

[ThruHammer]

Bro, you need to move up to BitTorrent -- current file sharing standards.

Fer schure it ain't the same animal, but you need to let go of these outdated web relics.

[MrAccident]

@ThruHammer - we already had this discussion. I know what I need. And it's not the issue; it's suppose to work; it's not like I'm trying to make something for Mac work in Puppy or something.

[ThruHammer]

Then I'm 100% IN with Mike!

What you do with it once installed, I have NO idea......."eDonkey2000", huh? You're on your own from here on out, Mate!

[MrAccident]

@ThruHammer - that's obvious. Same for other programs too, I think.

[ThruHammer]

No, it's only obvious if you can handle the ins and outs for YOURSELF.

How about Slimjet? Yet another failure or did my instructions actually pan out?

[MrAccident]

@ThruHammer:

No, it's only obvious if you can handle the ins and outs for YOURSELF.

No idea what that means, I'm afraid.

Slimjet - still didn't get to it.

BTW - so far - the only things which ultimately didn't work for me ― were related to anything called "*mule". /-:

My guess, is that the post where I've put the Terminal output - was missed by people; so here it is again:
