PeasyPDF from Bionicpup64 forum does not work in FossaDog(SOLVED)

[soniabu]

Hi everyone. I am trying FossaDog - Ubuntu 20.04 'Focal Fossa' LTS 64-bit -updated 2020-09-19 - and I find a problem with the PeasyPDF v4.2 application downloaded and installed from the Bionicpup64 forum http://oldforum.puppylinux.com/puppy/vi ... 2a16dc5098.
As in the images it seems that it performs the extract but I cannot find anything in the PDFextect folder and I have the following info in the peasypdf.log.
Can anyone advise me on a way to the solution?
thank you
sonia


here from terminal, it looks like it extracts from these reports instead and pdfextract folder is empty.

Why are you using PeasyPDF from Bionicpup64? It should be available in Fred's repo with apt-get.

This will get all the missing dependencies, like gs.

OH ! i didn't know i searched in synaptic package mgr but i didn't find anything.
So now I will try to follow your advice: where is Fred's repo?
thx sonia

Fred may have to deal with this. In the mean time, try this:

Code: Select all

apt update
apt install peasypdf

You can try the v4.5 from here.

Remove the fake .gz extension and right-click install it.

But it is designed to use packages from Debian repos and might not work in FossaDog.

Excellent.

If other Peasy-apps are missing from Fred's repo. look for them in the Starter Kit.

fantastic, sonia

Are you running Fossapup or Fossadog?

as i cant get it to work.

Details please.

Can anyone give a step by step guide how to make it work

Have you done an "apt update" operation yet?

If so, open a terminal and run: peasypdf
Are there any error messages?

[ali9000]

Thanks for the reply
Is FOSSADOG the same as FOSSAPUP64?
apt-update doesn't work
command not found
Sorry just read the top of your post so that must answer the first question its Fossapup64

You should ask your question in the Fossapup64 section.
