Fast-forward to this evening, and I was re-visting the 'AppImages, Snaps & Flatpaks' section for the first time in a while. I've had this a wee while, now, and when I first got it found the same as everybody else did here in Puppyland it wouldn't run-as-spot, it wouldn't run as root.and none of the usual 'voodoo' incantations & 'switches' seemed to work. AJSlye, the packager of this particular AppImage, has included just about everything you can possibly think of, and then some.including the kitchen sink, I reckon! However, since it works 'as-is', and I don't know what half of these deps do, I've leaving well alone. (I tried re-packing it, but for some reason this particular one just wasn't having it, in any way, shape or form).Īt ~320 MB, it's quite large when unzipped, but you must remember, it would normally be occupying this much space in RAM while unpacked in /tmp for the duration of the session. So, I've 'unpacked' it with the "-appimage-extract" switch, so's I could point it at its own stuff with an LD_LIBRARY_PATH clause.and left it unpacked. In Bionic64 and Fossa64, I was getting the usual complaint about not "seeing" its own Qt5 libs, and not being able to initialize "xcb", despite it being present & correct. However the only Puppy where the 3-series would actually run AS an AppImage was Xenialpup64.
#Portable vlc for linux portable
Plus, a portable 32-bit build of v2.16 'Rincewind' for older 32-bit Pups. Not the absolute newest, bleeding-edge release, but plenty new enough for most of us. A long-standing, do-everything favourite for many people.Īs with many of the other 'portables', these, too, are based around an AppImage.in this case, the newest 3-series packed as an AppImage that's in general circulation ATM - v3.0.11.1 'Vetinari'. Despite that SMPlayer is my personal 'go-to' media player, VLC also sees plenty of use.and is arguably one of the Linux world's premium media players. I'm pleased to be able to make these available.
