I think this is my new favorite Pup. Everything works on my Core2 HP NC6400. It's installed on the harddrive as full-install, and also on a USB thumbdrive. Saving changes works fine on the USB. Only thing I noticed was that it won't mount my other ext4 partitions, but it looks like that's already be...

Great job, I love this desktop manager. Running it on TahrPup 6.0.5 32bit, and found a nice advantage. Using Guvcview was a problem in TahrPup with JWM because the mouse cursor would jump off the edge of Guvcview's video window when trying to resize it. Fbbox fixed that problem... a whole lot easier...

Ah well, no luck; fresh install TahrPup, installed BibleTime 2.9, uninstalled it (wouldn't let me unless I uninstalled everything else with it), but get the same error. Thanks for going to the trouble. Just one last question, which distro are you using? I'm using Tahr 6.0.5, kernel 3.14.56 on an HP ...

OK, well, you jumped ahead of me, so, I doubt I'll be able to help you any further. Ran fine on my 605. Weird... I must have installed the wrong things and maybe out of order. You're running Tahr 6.0.5? I'll reinstall Tahr and try the linked downloads and PPM package you already posted, in the same...

Aboard Pup, forget PPA's and install what you want . If it fails to open, run it from a terminal and forward the message. Hi Semme, thanks for the reply. I ran the downloaded .deb, then installed QT4 and libclucene-core.so.1 libraries after Terminal said those were missing. After that, libsword.so....

How to add specific ppa to TahrPup's package manager?

I'd like to install a newer version of BibleTime in my full-install TahrPup 6.0.5. The 2.9 version available in the package manager has a serious bug, but I know the newer version (2.10) works fine. I was able to install it in Linux Mint by adding a ppa using: "add-apt-repository ppa:unit193/cr...

guvcview crashes in XenialPup

Installed guvcview in Xenial 7.0.4 from the package manager, but it crashes every time I change a setting. This is also reported by others in Ubuntu Xenial's bugtracker, apparently without a fix yet. I thought to try editing the guvcview config file, but it doesn't exist because the crash prevents t...

Try this link:

http://minipc.org/ipup/download/vnc-4.1.3.pet

Let us know if that helps as that's from tempestuous pets site.

[PS - Loaded in Puppy Linux 4.3.1 and it's working under CLI]

I had it once upon a time, and it worked great in Lucid. I have a new install of Lucid, but the vnc-4.1.3-Puppy5.pet file is no longer available. I went through the forums and also Googled it, but no luck. The reference forum post is here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=63122 Does ...

Lucid distro using older Xorg?

Want to try Lucid and other newer distros on an older Dell c400. They won't boot because they use a newer Xorg which doesn't support the video hardware in the Dell. Older distros work great on the Dell, but I'm looking for newer distros. Is it possible to make a newer distro which uses an older Xorg...
