PeasyScan v2.16 updated here.

V2.16 has a slight regression to accommodate models (like Brother) that use multi-word scanner options. For example:

A standard MBR-structured drive has empty space between the MBR (sector 0) and the start of the first partition. Some bootloaders like Legacy GRUB's optional stage1.5 and Grub4Dos (see below) use this space for their own code. But the partition table of a GPT-structured drive starts at sector 1 and ...

I have PeasyPort v3.1 in PET form which removes pnscan. If anyone wants to participate in testing, I will post it.

For WiFi connections, look in the PeasyWiFi script around line 14.

Probably in /etc/pwf/rc.network, around line 20.

What will you gain by doing this?

Here is the latest version of the brlaser printer driver from here. This is a generic driver for various Brother laser printers that eliminates the complexity of the vendor driver.

It was compiled in the Buster64 Starter Kit but may work in other 64bit Dogs.

The current default behaviour of Gparted is to create new partitions starting on MiB boundaries. This makes it compatible with drives that work in 4K blocks. But even when the standard was to create partitions on cylinder boundaries, there was always free space between the MBR and the first partitio...

You can probably get the same result just by using a symlink.

The latest versions of PeasyPort have eliminated pnscan in favour of a different scanning tool.

My difficulty with testing it is that I do not have a 3G modem that works in linux, and I do not have a data option for my minimalist cell phone account. Neither do I. But it's my understanding that you can do this just with wvdial. 1. Run: wvdialconf 2. Edit /etc/wvdial and enter your connection d...

Here is a kernel module "driver" for the MOXA Uport 11x0 series Serial-USB adapter.

The device may NOT be auto-detected, in which case you must manually load the module with It may also require firmware. Run: Remove the fake .gz extension.

How to build a squashfs module for the KRITA drawing app

This is a standard repo2sfs build from the Debian repo.

As usual, you may want to stop at Pause B and remove usr/share/mime from the build.

At startup, the program throws some Qt-related messages, but it appears to be working OK.

For Buster users who want a kernel upgrade to k5.6.0, here are the instructions: 1.Get the package from Fred's repo here. 2. Drop the four files into the "live" folder of your frugal install, replacing the old versions. 3. Reboot. This setup will Porteus-boot an emmc drive without any spec...

You also sent me a PM. I took the time to find a solution and send you an answer.

You still have not shown the courtesy of a reply.

Attached below is an update to PeasyScan. 1. PeasyScan now recognizes SANE device names (URI's) that contain spaces. This is required by some next-generation SANE backends that use multi-word device names. 2. The OCR function has been removed in favour of the separate pic2txt app which has been upda...

The original version of img2pdf (from the Tahrpup era) used a Python2 app where the executable was named "img2pdf.py". It looks like you have installed a newer Python3 version where the executable is just "img2pdf". The original version is still available in Fred's repo as a .deb...

This is the old way to make a PDF. Use "Print to File" instead.
