Oscar- Stiginge runs Luci, or 3HD. To note >> pet files *may be* manually extracted.

Looks like the ffmpegs in the puppy-lucid repo are all too old.

It would be very nice if someone can point us to a ffmpeg 0.11.x that works with Lucid 5.2.8-005

Thanks,
Sheldon

Semme, thanks for the clarification. I have never looked at 3HD but it is based on Lupu 528 but with a different kernel and ffmpeg is not kernel-specific.

I was experimenting with Lucid Plus 528-005 yesterday and was able to compile ffmpeg 0.11.3 in it. If I then boot pfix=ram and install it along with gtkdialog4-0.8.3-i486.pet I can then install and run Pmusic 3.3.0 except for the problem of no Hoovers or other jamendo music. As I reported in the other thread I also get this in a virgin Slacko 5.5 though so it may be that it is not a problem with my ffmpeg.

So for Sheldon and anyone else I don't mind posting the ffmpeg on the basis that it is strictly for testing purposes with no warranty. Install at your own risk. The build insisted that I upgrade x264 so that is included. These versions of ffmpeg are not always upgradable or downgradable without problems. Gnome Mplayer still seems to work but without testing all multimedia apps it is not possible to know if something is broken by the upgrade.

OscarTalks, may I say very good work!

I'm going to take the liberty of telling about this in the main Pmusic thread.

I simply downloaded the pet and installed in an existing frugal Lucid Plus 528-005.

Pmusic works.

Thanks a lot,
Sheldon

Stiginge- are you able to remove pkgs with PPM?

yes

Just not install?

correct

Then unload <aka extract> this pkg to /usr/local. Retrieved via Micks`method..

This may or may not work. I kinda suspect the holdup's in your users $HOME.

Failing the above, we could probably add a 'cleanup' line to your boot code.

em...i'm using luci-529 as previously stated

Which is built on 528. It's the kernel that's different.

ok so this is what i got at /usr/local:[/img]

Is this after extraction? The size in bytes?

after extraction

I gather there was no change? Did you ever remove those other pkgs?

I'm sure you still have this. Extract it inside ~/ and take a look..

Does it make sense as to where things would go?

look

Something's obviously broken. Does: ldd /usr/local/bin/xarchive reveal any 'not founds?'

Try this for a broken system >> On the end of the first kernel line here: Add pfix=clean: .. and reboot. See whether Oscars`pet will install.

If it's a nogo, swap 'clean' with 'purge' & reboot.

==

PS- Not sure if this requires the install disk?
<Which I know you no longer have..>

Still, I'd try..

No

I'm not going to jeopardise my entire system with this kind of fidgeting, and I don't think I really should need to do a purge of my system just because I cant get one application to work. Everything else has worked without issue up til now and I've been using this system everyday for the past year.

Yeah- that one app being PPM. Your decision should be fine as long as you don't want to install anything.

every other app that i've used ppm for has worked ok as far
