For those (like me) who may just wind up using 9.0.3 for a long time and want it to be complete .... it's available via PPM ... and it ap...

Re: md5sum of 9.0.3 iso

That is: 607841fad7308c4b4b1fcf619ace4369 The md5sum I get on the re-uploaded isos is consistently : 9626d24fbe32fa4711a3575773f8...

@Sailor Your r8060 looks good! CNN news videos often suffer lack of sound/video sync when apulse firefox is used, but your compilation clears up that problem. To help avoid confusion, I copy the url for r8060 here: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/04k8b8812ccoh/x86_64 No problems found so far. Edit:...

Just a idea.

A small size png (192X139) was used as a icon for pupsysinfo. It automatically is
resized down to a max icon side dimension of 48

@TiredPup
Concerning your sound problem, I wonder if you can get into Setup-Sound-Sound Card
Wizard and make sure only one so-called sound card is checked?

Simply rename fdrv and reboot.

Only niggle so far is CUPS pdf-writer - seems to be missing from the backend directory so CUPS PDF is not right yet.
I see the same error message but ignored it and never tested pdf-writer.

Have you installed cups-filters and printer-driver-gutenprint? I had to install many extra packages and deps to get working my brother laser printer.
No, I didn't have to do anything except what Phil posted (and use a different kernel
of course).

cups is missing a few things and will be fixed in the next build. in the mean while you need to create these folders if they don't exist Code: /var/run/cups /var/cups/log /var/cups/ppd /var/cups/rss /var/cache/cups/ppd /var/cache/cups/rss and install libgutenprint-common from the ppm possibly a reb...

canon printers

I used kernel 4.9.58 to get into CUPS and no Canon printers are listed: http://home.ptd.net/~artnpeg/canon.png This sort of thing probably originates in the fact that Canon no longer supports Linux. With josejp2424 DpupBuster64 8.0 I see something siimilar where just a small handfull of Canon printe...

Quick look:

1. Clockset does not do 12 hour, only 24 hour settings
2. CUPS gives Internal Server Error message
3. gatotray temperature is stuck at 28 degrees

I like your modular approach :) Thanks for the new toy to play with.

scpup64 tests

A rather belated evaluation of scpup64. The only problem I encountered was a attempted install of qpdfview via ppm. It's available on slackware64-14.2-extra. The install really bombed. qpdfview complained, in effect, that it didn't know what a pdf file is :) The Save folder swelled a large amount, s...
