Is there a kernel update for dummies file somewhere? Tahrpup 64 6.0.6

I do appreciate everyone's input and suggestions, and will try to work with the ideas you have provided to come up with a solution. Given that the behaviour of most things Puppy is rarely in line with expectation, and it is unlikely I shall need 64 bit apps, I shall give serious consideration to rev...

Hi Mike, I have logged the further efforts to get Wine running at this thread. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=961210#961210 Note that the font prob lem appears to be resolved, but Wine is still not finding some resources, probably due to the fact that 32_bit is not installing correctly...

The list could not be attached.

Thanks for the suggestions Mike. I have just uninstalled Wine so I could start with a clean slate. The version installed was 2.11v3.1, as I was instructed to do in the initial thread on the subject. Libfreetype6_2.5.2 is indeed present. I have reinstalled Wine from the pet (not PPM) and can now loca...

Wine cannot start due to absence of libraries. Winecfg returns the following error m.essages root# winecfg err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"winebus.sys": libudev.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 err:winedevice:async_create_driver failed to create driver L&q...

Wine will not run on the above installation due to a problem with Truetype fonts. I believe that the Freetype engine is already installed, but winecfg returns the following error message. Wine cannot find the FreeType font library. To enable Wine to use TrueType fonts please install a version of Fre...

I have now loaded 32-bit comptability as per your instructions. However, Wine config does not run. It seems every time I try to install it there is a different problem. I had it running a few days ago, but now, we're back to square one. Gremlins? Here's what winecfg says: root# winecfg Wine cannot f...

Brilliant. Installed without a hitch.

The odd thing is that I was able to install the tahr version before, but this time it failed.

Thanks for your help,

Do you know if FFADO works with Audacity on Puppy?

The file

Thanks Bigdog, the first thing I did with the fresh Tahrpup was install 32-bit compatibility. However, I don't think the installation was complete, or so the list of skipped files would suggest. Why do you suppose files are being skipped? I encountered the same issue when installing a new Audacity (...

Thanks watch. I suspect there may be more than a few missing items. See the files that failed to copy in the attached.

Error message returned as follows

audacity: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Try that again. root# winecfg Wine cannot find the ncurses library (libncurses.so.5). Wine cannot find the FreeType font library. To enable Wine to use TrueType fonts please install a version of FreeType greater than or equal to 2.0.5. http://www.freetype.org err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to lo...

Still not out of the dogrun. Here is the result when I try to run winecfg with Wine 2.11 on a new installation of Tahrpup64 6.0.6.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

The Nvidia driver can be installed via Quickpet. However, after making a fresh pup in order to resolve other issues I am unable to launch Lightworks, even with the Nvidia driver installed.

Many thanks to bigpup and others who ventured suggestions to resolve my issue. In the end, I decided to close the coffin lid and give this puppy a new life. This message is coming to you from a freshly installed Tahrbaby. I'll be in touch if any problems arise in the course of configuration,

I regret to report that this does not help either. Files Xwin is trying to access in /etc and /root seem to be either missing or read only, or so the error messages purport.

Before leaving I started the upgrade process. Puppy Installer returns an error "Failed to copy files."

Thanks for your assistance. I have to run out for a while but will return to the problem later. Meanwhile note that I have an old wireless keyboard by the same manufacturer and the same problem occurs with it. Both use the same model of dongle but I switched them without noting any difference.
