Thanks!

That is great news that Compiz-Fusion can be run under Puppy 4.0! Thanks Tombh for WNOP. It works perfectly. (Well, it does after I ditched the old ATI card.)

And thanks to Barry who made it all possible.

All the best to the most supportive and fun Linux community on the planet!

Schweizer-Uhr one hour fast

MU, I really like your widget. Thanks for making it available. After the US changed to daylight savings time, S-U is one hour ahead. The Puppy clock is correct. TZ is PUP6. Any help would be appreciated. I shrunk relog so it is about the size of the trash can. After it starts, I move it to the botto...

Icons in background

MU, Another masterful piece of work! I see you are using e17. I wonder why they didn't use the e16 iconbox in e17. You have filled the gap nicely. I really like enlightenment, but it is a little quirky for day-to-day use so I use icewm. If it is possible, is there a way for the thumbnails to be behi...

Firefox crash with Flash9

Thanks for the suggestion. That seemed to do the trick. I have been using Firefox for a while to see how it went: it only crashes when I close the browser. Every time. :shock: Seamonkey doesn't do this. I wound up reverting to Flash7 with Firefox - just in case. If I need Flash9, I use Seamonkey. Th...

Firefox crash with Flash9

WhoDo, For some strange reason, Seamonkey works ok for me with Flash9 on Puppy 2.12. Playing with E17, I tried Firefox and, no surprise, it crashed. But E17 was kind enough to show me the error: "Environment Variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8". It also gave an error code ...

e17

Very nice!

I apologize for not directly answering your question, but I use Tablaunch with the icons I want with the e16 dotpup. Or any WM for that matter.

Thanks, Mark.

This cleared up a problem I was having with KDEmini.

There were some broken symlinks in /usr/lib/qt/lib (to libqt-mt.so and libqt-mt.so.3 in /usr/lib/qt-3.3.6). I also added a symlink to libqt.so. Don't know if the last thing was needed but everything works now. :D

Best wishes!

KDE Mini with 2.12

I had the same results as David with 2.12. I renamed MU's _211.sfs to _212.sfs. Made sure it was in /mnt/home. Installed prereq's. Also started with a clean install (frugal, NTFS - I had tried unsuccessfully to hack 1.XX usr_more.) When I booted I noticed that it mounted the kde stuff on /initrd/pup...

Very nice. :D

And very snappy with the 2.6.11 kernel. As a stop-gap, tablaunch works with e17. Icons show up fine.

Thanks, Alex.

This is a promising thread. Looks like the way to fire up hplip first is to fiddle with the /etc/rc.d/rc.M script.

I am looking forward to getting back to this after I get 1.07 cooking. :wink:

Alex, Thanks to your input I found a helpful overview of how to setup HPLIP: http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/hplip_readme.html The overview had a very understandable schematic of how CUPS and the scanner backend are wired together. It looks like I would be ok having hpijs installed and then installi...
