The program will install successfully, but unable to create diary, or open any text file.

In terminal, the error code is as below:





# lifeograph
ERROR: Failed to create the entry view

(lifeograph:26143): glibmm-ERROR **: 22:54:28.172:
unhandled exception (type unknown) in signal handler

Trace/breakpoint trap





From the error code, it said there is a problem with glibmm. However, i had installed all the dependencies. In bionicpup32, i think the glibmm is already installed.

Will try for another few days, is there any puppies that can install and run the latest lifeograph?

I looked at this in BionicPup32 and tried a few things but always got the same error as you.

I don't know if this is of any use to you, but in Dpup Stretch I installed Lifeograph from PPM and it seems to work. Version is slightly earlier at 1.4.0

I just tested it in BionicPup64. It passed dependency check, but when I tried to run it, it failed because it was looking for glibmm 3.x. Once I updated to glibmm to 3.0-1v5_3.22.2-2 (in PPM), it ran perfectly. Maybe worth checking in BionicPup32?

Nice application, by the way! Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Thanks OscarTalks and RedQuine!

I updated bionicpup32 ppm repo, however, I can't find libglibmm-3.0. The most recent in the PPM is libglibmm-2.4.

Tried to search libglibmm-3.0 online, however, all i found is the libglibmm-2.4. Can share the libglibmm-3.0 here?

p/s: Btw, heard that Dpup stretch is among the most established puppies. Sure will try it some day. When i test a puppy/dog, 2 most important task for me is (1) succesful cups connection to my office network printer, (2) import/export note in lifeograph; Tahrpup is one of my favourite, however, I cant get it to connect to Toshiba e-Studio printer (filter-failed); Bionicpup32 is a huge improvement for puppy that it can connect to my network printer without difficulty.

Lifeograph is GTK3 which is not really fully supported in Puppy.
The version 1.4.0 in Stretch PPM works, but seems to have been compiled with debugging enabled so you get lots of DBG messages if running from terminal.

I was able to compile the later version 1.4.2 from source in Dpup Stretch with debugging disabled so it is the same as the Bionic32 version and runs silently and sweetly in terminal. If you decide to try running Dpup Stretch I can upload this version for you to test.

Many thanks in advance OscarTalks!

I am now trying my frugally installed Dpup. Indeed a very well build puppy! All my network printers detected and run strainght away.

Can you upload it to the forum? This way others will have the chance to use this excellent programs as well.

It is too big to upload directly to the forum, but senior Puppy community member smokey01 kindly provides me with some storage space for this kind of thing, so I have uploaded it here:-
http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks
Strictly for testing with no warranty of course.
This package is designed to install and work in Dpup Stretch in one go, so the gtkmm-3.0 libraries are included, meaning you don't need to install them as an extra dependency.
Note that there are no DBG debugging messages in terminal, unlike the official Debian version 1.4.0 which produces volumes of them.
Menu entry is in the Personal section.

Installed and run perfectly on Dpup Stretch 4.1.48.

Thank you so much for your time and help, and also the recommendation too. You have my salute man.

Nice! How we get these updates? Dowloading again the sfs with the link in the menu?

@ morochos:-

Do be aware that the Chromium-based 'clones' under Linux (and this includes Chrome; Google themselves made the conscious decision to quit supporting 32-bit on this side of the fence) don't auto-update in the same way as they do under Windoze.

The 'cron' folder is there in the Chrome builds I produce, but it doesn't appear to be used.....and even for the mainline distros, the procedure is usually to download the entire new build from Google's own repos, and over-write the existing one. For Chromium, most distros tend to re-compile their own versions, and, as peebee says, accepted procedure is to update by re-installing with the 'correct', distro-specific version.

At least Linux Chrome does keep PepperFlash updated (although I'll be darn glad when the web finally goes all-HTML5!!)

Hi Peebee,

Is it just me or is the right-click->Copy menu missing in bionicpup32-8.0+3-uefi.iso? I solved the problem by copying in the /usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer folder from upupbb-18.05+28.iso and restarting X.

Well tried this out on a Vaio VGN-FE15GP Laptop unlike Cuttlefish and Disco Dingo this actually ran without problems including PPM. The biggest difference was being able to play mp4s without having to re-install mplayer.

Very disappointing on those other 2 releases.

Internet wise connected first up on wireless and online streaming works.

Good release but with regards to the latest stuff please check your work.

Hello.
Bionicpup32 is working fine on my thinkpad X121e.

By the way, bionicpup32-8.0-uefi.iso from ibiblio does not seem to be the latest iso.
Its md5sum is that of +2 iso and the file is dated April 7, 2019.

I downloaded the latest iso from sourceforge.
However, those visiting puppylinux.com do not seem to be able to download the latest iso.

Edit:
Things seem to have been corrected now. Thank those related.

Hi all,

I want to use this bionic iso without extracting it in my multiboot flashdisk, so I used this code in Menu.lst (GRUB) file like this, I put the bionic.iso file in the root of my usb disk:


title Bionic32
map /bionic.iso (0xff) || map --mem /bionic.iso (0xff)
map --hook
root (0xff)
kernel /vmlinuz from=/bionic.iso ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw
initrd /initrd.gz


I tested this flashdisk with virtualbox soft and its started decompressing but stopped after few seconds and said that its couldnt found "puppy_upupbb_19.03.sfs".

Thank you to help and show how to boot with this iso file

thanx for reply, will try.

Going back to the problem of lifeograph refusing to run,
While experimenting a bit with Gnome MPV which is also GTK3, I discovered that the issue seems to be that icon resources are missing.

The default icon theme for GTK3 is adwaita-icon-theme
If I install this in Bionic32 via PPM, lifeograph from PPM will then run.
There is a cut-down version of this icon theme in Ubuntu, but it drags in other icon theme stuff as "dependencies" and ends up quite large.

We seem to get away with just having libgtk-3 on board to get the browsers running, but if we want Puppy to be able to run other GTK3 stuff in future I think someone will need to take a look at the issue of themes and icons for it. Even with the browsers there are missing icons in the chooser dialogs. Maybe I will start another thread about this, but it will be in the hope that others with better understanding than me can suggest what could be included without adding too much unnecessary bloat.

G'day,

I'm now having to manually run the wizard in this Pup and some other Pups that I felt sure I did not have to do not long ago.

I am changing from an ethernet connection on the home network to wifi.

This does slow down the connecting process a bit so could it be a timing issue - the wizard gives up too soon.

The Simple Network Setup (SNS) wizard is definitely affected, and I'm now trying Frisbee (haven't restarted yet). I think Dougals wizard is also in the 'now won't start at boot-up' camp.

SOLUTION (Cause): I had made links of the wizard config files residing in /etc to my data partition to share the profiles between Pups.
Alas, I now see that the wifi connection process starts up before the data partition is mounted by the script in /root/Startup .
So there is effectively no profile for the wizard to use during booting.
I have to find a way to do this perhaps in one of the Pup's sfs drv files, or create just one for these links to include with each Pup - a l-drv (links drive)
maybe?

David, try putting your data partition mounting script in /etc/init.d instead of /root/Startup. It will start earlier. You can put it to the head of the queue by naming it with a 0 at the beginning, eg: 0_mntmydrv.
