backi , look inside the /root/working folder. If there is a folder in there called pkgtemp delete it. Then try to install the .deb . I tried installing xvidcap.deb from ubuntu repos. The first angelic theme .pet was packaged wrong and left a hidden folder in /root/working/pkgtemp which caused /pkgtemp to not get deleted after a package installation like it's suppose to. After I deleted that the .deb installed and ran fine. Don't delete /root/working .

Hey runtt 21 !

Your advice worked fine .I did what you adviced.

Now it works fine.

Thanks Man!

With Macpup you did a real good Job.
.

I just installed it to and it ran fine but (don't take this the wrong way) swiftfox is ff3.6 . I am running ff7 pre alpha and it smokes swift. If you really want a cutting edge fox, 7 is the way to go IMO. Now it isn't prefect but DUDE......

How to install Firefox 7 in Macpup 525 and still keep Firefox 4.........

This is how I have it set up if you would like to try ff7....

First go here and download the firefox-7.0a1.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/ ... est-trunk/

Then move it into /root/working and unpack the .tar.bz2 there. It will create a firefox folder. In there look in the icons folder. Copy or move the mozicon128.png into /root/icons . Then download my FF7desktopfile.tar.gz . Unpack that and move the firefox 7 .desktop file into /usr/share/applications. And you're good to go. FF7 will now be in the menu under internet. You can use either 7 or 4 and they will share bookmarks but when you switch they will show the first run window. Enjoy!!

Congrats on continuing on a sweet line of MacPup releases!! Great work!

High runtt21!

Followed your instruction for installing FF 7

Replaced Swiftfox.

It's a Rocket.
Thanks

Keep on Rocking!

Hello omskates , Good to see you. I hope the rest of the regulars take this one for a spin.

In a few days i will post a how to for engage. Its an updated version of itask-ng. It's included in the extra-mods .pet.

Day 2 was a good!!!

Congratulations, runtt!

Day 3 is even better for you...

Looking very good so far.Thank you runtt21.

One thing.
I've so far been unable to get vlc player to run.Used version 1.1.10 from Quickpet?

*Edit
Same with Songbird also.

I did a frugal install of macpup525 by mounting the iso and copying
the files to a macpup525 folder then running grub4dos + editing the
macpup525 entry in the menu.lst file to pfix=nox,ram
Rebooting in macpup and choosing vesa 1024x768 + xwin then changing
the timezone and restart x.
Then ctrl-alt-backspace + reboot and create savefile in the process.
Rebooted into another pup and edited the macpup entry to pfix=fsck
Reboot again into macpup and loaded devx + kernel source sfs then
downloaded the xorg_high driver in quickpet.
Another reboot and then ctrl-alt-backspace to get to the prompt.
Installed the ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run proprietary
driver and entered aticonfig --initial and then xwin to get back to
the desktop.

Yeah I tried running vlc from a terminal earlier and it didn't say anything.
I then installed vlc 1.1.7 and that seems to work ok.
If I run Songbird from a terminal I get nothing.

I'll look into it later brown mouse but I am no expert on song bird or vlc, I have heard that newer builds of vlc wont run as root.Could be that.....

Soon the wood-7 theme.

I downloaded songbird directly from ibiblio ( not quickpet) cause I wanted to test it in lucid and macpup. I used 1.9.3 . It installed and loaded.I haven't rebooted yet..... But it came up... Did you try to install the first angelic theme .pet before you tried these?

Hi runtt21

No I had not tried angelic theme prior to installing vlc/Songbird.
Anyway,I also downloaded the Songbird .pet 1.9.3 from Ibiblio and it works fine now.Must be some kind of problems using quickpet?

I'll now install the angelic theme

Thanks for you help

We tested Quickpet a lot. Without issue. It just downloads the .pets. The install script is the same for PPM or just clicking on a .pet.

Good day again... Saturday should be great.

Still moving up........

The mp525-wood-7.pet is now in the macpup525 folder. Enjoy!!!
