Is the username/password on the bottom or back of the modem/router?

Thanks for the reply. I've tried escputil in the past with no success but I'll give it another whirl.

A rather large bump, but does anyone have an idea why libinklevel always reports over 100% for my Epson sx205? It needs one or more cartridges replacing at present (so I can't print) but the output is: EPSON Stylus SX200 Cyan: 105% Magenta: 105% Yellow: 119% Photoblack: 105% Thanks, Paul

With regard to Abiword (I imagine this has been discussed before!) what about Ted as a built-in alternative? http://www.nllgg.nl/Ted/ It's pretty light, reads .rtf, has optional plug-ins (eg spell-checking) and I've always found it reliable and responsive - for example it handles a 20mb document inc...

Bump:

Anyone?

Also, for anyone interested in DWM you need to set the termcmd constant in line 50 to be able to open a terminal like so:

Code: Select all

static const char *termcmd[] = { "urxvt", NULL };

Flsynclient doesn't remember tap settings

I just compiled dwm (tiling window manager) from source in the latest Slacko 6.0 beta (5.9.3). It works fine except the setting for single tap/left click that I made in JWM isn't remembered.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this please?

Cheers,

Paul

Alpha seems to work pretty well for me, just two things I noticed straight away... GIMP has two entries in the Graphic section of the menu and if I open a terminal and hit backspace when the command line is empty the window flashes - happens with xterm and urxvt. The brightness control on my laptop ...

The first dozen or so lines of this page should make things clearer (at least for Vala) with regard to properties:

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/PropertiesSample

My understanding is that 'fields' are just class variables.

Thanks for the replies... I think I've given up on this (for now at least) although I'm still using Vala on a Mint machine.

Vala gtk+ compiling problem

All the little apps I written so far compile no problem so I thought it was time to try a gui program. I installed gtk+3-3.4.4 but when I try: valac --pkg gtk+3-3.4.4 "gtk-app.vala" -o gtk-app I get this error: error: Package `gtk+3-3.4.4' not found in specified Vala API directories or GOb...

Re my savefile problem further up this thread: I've tried the second machine with the new USB stick and there are no problems so I conclude it is not a bug.

@bigpup: I had the same issue on two machines so I've just burned 5.7 to another USB stick. On the first machine I've tried it has loaded the previously created savefile ok (even though the line in syslinux.cfg reads 'append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=cd' ). I'll try the other machine later.

How was Slacko installed to the USB drive? Be specific with the details. What type drive? USB Flash drive, hard drive, etc...? In this instance it was burned with 'Imagewriter', a standard Mint 13 accessory but the same problem (on 5.6.x Slacko beta) was with an ISO burned from XP using unetbootin....

logout_gui - Rebuild Menu

Not sure whether this is only relevant to the latest Slacko RC or in other Puppys but the rebuild menus option only takes effect (or rather, only shows up immediately) if I restart jwm.

This replacement of line 74 in /usr/sbin/logout_gui fixes it:

refreshjwm)fixmenus; jwm -restart ;;

Modified the .desktop files (locally as an experiment) for items in the 'Documents' section of the menu. A simple hyphen rather than brackets, pipe or some other symbol looks the cleanest separator. Would anyone object to initial capitalization (as I've done with e3)? I think it would look more cons...

Just downloaded 5.6.8, booted off USB and the savefile is now being recognized and properly loaded! While downloading the iso on a Win 7 machine I tried to use GParted on a Linux Mint machine to erase the usb stick but it kept falling over.
