Once again, let me explain one prob already explained, I have RTL8111/8168B :
1/ /lib/firmware has 6 files, none seems needed.
2/ r8169 is loaded, but it should be r8168. See www.realtek.com LINUX driver for kernel 3.x and 2.6.x and 2.4.x is r8168-8.035.00.tar.bz2
So for this, r8168 should be compiled and r8169 blacklisted. (Note r8169 works too).

skype problem
Can someone help me?
I run racy 5.5 from usb stick.
I install skype 2.1 over install puppy package.
When I log in skype it won't work. Just freeze and keep skype logo (arrow which go in circle) running, but nothing else...

Can you click on "console" icon and type skype ? Tell what error messages are shown ?
(there is an alternative to skype if you have sip, it's linphone http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=79803 )

Racy 5.5. Another bug :
Save http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13579707/N9Y4AAAAMAAJ.pdf
Open that pdf file with epdfview from shell.
And takes 60% CPU to go to the next page.
See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15629
epdfview is not developped anymore ? http://trac.emma-soft.com/epdfview/ down.
Any better pdf reader ?

So why didnt you report it here ?rcrsn51 wrote:The problem isn't with epdfview - it's with the version of libpoppler that it uses.
I didn't check Racy, but Wary 5.5 uses the very old libpoppler-7 and shows the same symptoms as you reported.
However, Slacko 5.5 uses libpoppler-26 and handles your test PDF fine.
linuxcbon & rcrsn51,
I can confirm that: all the console pdfto* utilities are of no use because the libpoppler.so.19 library is not there.
Working on it now.

Ok, here's a freshly compiled drop-in replacement for whatever poppler-ish material exists in wary 5.5 (untried in racy 5.5). This means it should replace all the pdfto*, pdfinfo, etc., utilities and the corresponding libraries. This version, poppler-0.22.2 is dated March 11, 2013 (10 days ago). It contains the executables and the corresponding libraries.
Please download from : http://limelinx.com/c617i Should you wish to preview the contents, a directory and file listing of this *.pet archive is attached below in g'zipped text format.

Enjoy!

Re: skype problem
In wary 5.5 I use successfully skype 2.2.0.35. You can download the tar.bz2 archive from my shared link:EgyB wrote:Can someone help me?

Click on the archive, select all and extract to /usr/local. Then copy in /usr/bin the binary skype from the directory you extracted. From /usr/bin you can create a link to the desktop or launch "skype" in console. I have to say that I install from puppy3 repository qt 3.3.8 but I don't know if it is necessary.
I am not seeing a problem with libpoppler in Wary 5.5. All of the pdfto* tools work correctly.musher0 wrote:I can confirm that: all the console pdfto* utilities are of no use because the libpoppler.so.19 library is not there.
I believe that the only issue here is updating libpoppler to handle linuxcbon's particular PDF file. All you need are:
Code: Select all
libpoppler-glib.so.8 -> libpoppler-glib.so.8.6.0
libpoppler.so.35 -> libpoppler.so.35.0.0
Barry, for privacy, can you do this ? = avoiding cookies from flashplayer
Code: Select all
rm -r /root/.adobe/
rm -r /root/.macromedia/
ln -s /dev/null /root/.adobe
ln -s /dev/null /root/.macromedia
Doesn't load in zathura either, but in foxitreader, it's ok.rcrsn51 wrote:I am not seeing a problem with libpoppler in Wary 5.5. All of the pdfto* tools work correctly.musher0 wrote:I can confirm that: all the console pdfto* utilities are of no use because the libpoppler.so.19 library is not there.
