Cups packages

I've just uploaded: cups_all_32-1.7.5.pet md5sum 1df7cc5184edb1c37b736f5fd662d4c4 and cups_all_64-1.7.5.pet md5sum 4e28dae6e2613348ec7939d00e348b8b These contain (I hope) everything needed to print in the Q7's. They do not contain gutenprint since it is not necessary to print and only contains PPD's...

/usr/local/pfind/func and /usr/local/pfilesearch/func are missing in latest isos. Pfind is broken. Another good catch watchdog! It looks like my program removal script needs a rebuild, it took out every "func" in the OS. I've gone back to Q7D and rebuilt new Q7F's. I hope I get it right s...

However; I find that neither of my two portables will upload or download anything without crashing. Seems to be just the Blink-based browsers (Opera & Vivaldi), because Palemoon-portable functions fine in this respect. Even adding the wee 'glib-schemas' .pet I put together (and which usually fi...

I know now why I like JWMDesk so much. I've been using it for long enough now that I'd forgotten how fiddly some of the operations were with the older set-up.....especially adding launchers; specifying path-to-executable, path-to-icon, etc. JWMDesk still uses all that, but does it behind the scenes...

One last point before I turn in. I've got the same issue as TiredPup had; the Menu only shows 'Help' and 'Exit'. I used to get this same problem in Racy 5.5, but running 'fixmenus' and re-starting 'X' always fixed it for me. Here, though? Doesn't matter how many times I run those 2 commands, the Me...

Right, kiddiwinks. Now; it appears that Tahr64 606's pMount script will run OK in Quirky64 (and the 32-bit versions will probably swap over just the same, all things being equal), though I won't be testing the latter. Should please some of you. A .pet would simply overwrite and 'lose' the original,...

Re: easy automount partition on boot?

Most other pups, usually there is an easy way to automount on boot with pmount, but does not seem to have the same functionality in Quarky64(april iso.) am I missing something? I didn't know you could do that with pmount. I'll have to investigate that. Here's how I mount sda3 with script /root/Star...

Although Conky is required, the version included in pwidgets, http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=249211#249211 sufficed under several Puppies from Slacko 5.7 thru Bionicpup64.

"Is Dogradio significantly better than Yradio?" I don't know what 'better' means. Dogradio certainly has a nicer GUI. Dogradio appears to be a well-thought-out and complete application. Whether it can do anything which Yradio can't; or is easier to flesh-out, no idea. Although Conky is re...

Re: Precise works best on Thinkpad T41 from 2003 (noPAE)

Tahr works on this laptop but SNS and Frisbee did not. Youtube-viewer at 720p was out of sync, with 90% CPU. Precise SNS worked and Youtube was in sync at 720p with 80% CPU.
