[SOLVED] .txz install files

Fixit7 · 06-10-2015, 08:07 PM

Puppy linux uses .pet and .txz files for program installation.

Even though Puppy Tahr is a close relative, .txz files will not install.

Is there a way to convert .txz -> .pet files ?

Hi:

When you right click on the .txz do you have an option to convert it to a .pet?

Maybe look around in the Puppy Forum and see if there's any threads related to converting a txz.

It offers an option to convert.

When run, it says

Quote:

Failed to execute child process root/.config/
rox.sourceforge.net/SendTo/.application_x-xz-compressed-tar/txz2pet/AppRun (No such file or directory)

When I searched for "txz" it gave me links that had nothing to do with it.

I think the search functions are rather limited. :-)

I'm wondering if:

Code:

Failed to execute child process root/.config/

is a python problem? (not sure)

If we can figure out which child process is failing than maybe it will lead us to as to why it's not working.
All processes, if I'm not mistaken have a id.

I think you can use Strace to find the process id #. (if that will help)

From what I read fatdog is supposed to have petget so that you can install .deb files

Maybe finding the pkg you want in .deb format will work:-

Are you able to install other packages that are not txz?

What pkg are you trying to install?

How would finding the process ID help ?

I have python installed and it runs fine.

Top shows PID.

Is that same as the process i.d. ?

I would like to install Sensors.

I like monitoring my hard drive and CPU temperatures.

Ok-

I looked up the error and wasn't able to find any solved threads; sorry.

Hopefully other Puppy Linux users will see your thread and chime in.

Your Welcome-

Yeah, the PID is the same as process id:-

Your link does not include an installer.

It opens a bunch of files. ??

The first link is from 2007.

They have changed the kernel quite a bit. :-(

Was the second link of any use?

Here's lm sensors from the Ubuntu repo.

Thanks for the links.

I have tested 3 Puppy distros.

1. Puppy Linux 5.9.3
2. Puppy Tahr
3. Puppex-Tahr

2 and 3 have issues installing some programs, so I uninstalled those distros.

Puppy Linux 5.9.3 has been trouble free.

I would like to program for Linux, but have not found any forums for programmers.

I would need to ask a lot of questions to get the programming tools and libraries set up.
