If you restart 'cupsd' then it scans all ppd files in /usr/share/cups/model, I know, mine works. |
It looks like that this problem was related to a unionfs problem that i had in this moment.
Actually i can download and save every PPD file to the path and the
files are showed for selection in CUPS.

Is this a new bug, or have you had the ppd file working on older puppies? |
The LexmarkX125 has worked with no problems till yet.
Recognisation and Configuration of the Printer in Cups is very easy.
Still at the Moment i cant print something with Dingo Puppy 4 A3 on LexmarkX125
Everything looks in Cups correct. All settings are right and all paths are also right.
If i try to print the "Testpage" from Cups nothing happens.
Not even a Print Job is showed ?
It would be great if somebody could tell me some Cups Terminal Commands to proove the status of the printer so i can easy find out where the problem is !

Other than that great stuff guys.

You mean the Xine-UI? Does it handle full-screen ok?
I seem to recall, when I tested it awhile back, the GUI window had a crappy font -- have you been able to make that look nicer, with say the DejaVue font? -- I'm just going from memory, but I think that I didn't see any way to change the default font. |
Yes Barry last night I watch a movie with Xine-UI fullscreen and it ran perfectly, Not a flaw, It was a divx movie, also I used it to watch a dvd 2 days ago. I use puppy/FH tv-out on my video card to my tv all the time, I've also been able to use VLC and Mplayer full screen. But when I tried Puppy 3.01 with Gxine it didn't work full screen. Thats why I always change it to Xine-UI.
Tell you the truth I never really looked at the font size, but now that you mentioned it they are very small, I'll have to get back to you on it.

Plus On another note I ripped apart the latest Slackware Distro last night and uploaded all the "Lib's" to http://www.puppylinux.ca/ttuuxxx/Libs/ Very slow upload about 8hrs for 900MB. I did this because when I try to make pet packages, A lot of the time I'm missing Libs and I spend hours trying to find them, So this way we'll all have a place to find the ones missing. It should save tons of time. I still have about another 3hrs left until the upload is finished. around 2000 files.
Hope This helps, ttuuxxx

I can't seem to find where lsusb is now. It's always been in the menu, but in puppy 4 it's gone and you can't get it through the terminal(that hasn't changed).

HP Pavilion 600 MHz Celeron - 256M RAM - mobo video i810 feeding a very vanilla Dell CRT monitor
xvesa - maximum resolution 800x600, only two other choices, both lower resolution. Screen flicker is painful: epileptics beware.
xorg - distorted pincushion video. Am able to adjust to reasonably acceptable (but not perfect) deflection with xvidtune, however xvidtune, besides being torturously unintuitive with its poorly designed GUI, doesn't save the changed settings.
The predominant color used and the default background image are going to problematic for aging baby-boomers with any history of serious experimentation with lysergic acid diethylamide. Dabblers should fare better ...

This can easily be fixed using the wallpaper setter, theme setter, and icon setter to a different visual display. This will leave some yellow in the jwm tray. I think a good forum search will turn up something to change this.

Is it normal that in Cups the USB Printer is recognised verywell but in the "Puppy Hardware-Interface Information Wizard" nothing is showed about the connected Printer Device on USB?
http://s3.directupload.net/images/071216/23eg4ckv.png
My USB Mouse is also connected to USB but not showed as a device.
Is this related more to the Wizard or is this more a Puppy BUG ?

Gxine 0.4.xx Subject description: Time to dump - find something better ? |
|
I have just D/L'd the latest version I think, of Dingo 393 -- rc4-- full zdrv.
I have tried to use this prog (gxine) over a large number of versions of
Puppy, and they have all seem to have had something missing.
It just seems to be such a dud!
Can anyone offer something better or should I turn to MS for a solution?
This latest effort does produce a full screen but now has a new problem,
see my screenshot.
The rectangular block- What's that doing here ?

Just tried alpha3, seems quite fast. My dvd drive has DMA working without me having to boot with combined_mode=libata. Nice! Fonts look sharp.
The clock is wrong. To fix it I changed the symlink /etc/localtime to a link from /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT-0 to /etc/localtime. That's probably how it should be set if most people have their BIOS clock set to local time.
Quote: | But when I tried Puppy 3.01 with Gxine it didn't work full screen. |
For later versions of Gxine to get full screen you have to maximize the Gxine window and then hit ctrl-f. If you hit ctrl-f without having the window maximized it just flickers.
I haven't had problems with Gxine 0.5.11 in Puppy 3.01 so I tried compiling it in Alpha 4. It errors with:
Quote: | gtkvideo.o: In function `gtk_video_get_fullscreen_geometry':
gtkvideo.c .text+0x100b): undefined reference to `XineramaIsActive'
gtkvideo.c .text+0x1039): undefined reference to `XineramaQueryScreens'
noskin_window.o: In function `xevent_filter_cb':
noskin_window.c .text+0x1044): undefined reference to `XineramaIsActive'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [gxine] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/my-documents/gxine-0.5.11/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
#

I downloaded 0.4.9, it builds fine in alpha3. Maybe a problem with Gxine 0.5.11 and Xorg 7.3 ?
Also, the Desktop Icon switcher works nice. Used it to change to Stardust. The Stardust Icons look very sharp.
Looking forward to the T2-build-package for Dingo!
Thanks Barry.
EDIT: Installed the missing Xorg libs. But when Xorg would start radeon.ko and drm.ko wouldn't load. Tried modprobe radeon, but got module not found. So I copied the drm and radeon modules from the zdrv, restarted X and both modules loaded.
Still have problems with DRI. Logs look good. And games that need DRI run, but the video is scrambled. In alpha2 I installed the fglrx driver to fix it. (which includes it's own libGL) Maybe a problem with libGL or maybe my radeon X300 isn't supported anymore by the Xorg drivers? Anyone get DRI working in Dingo?

/etc/localtime should be a symlink to the appropriate file in /usr/share/zoneinfo, which is done by the "set timezone" entry in the "System" menu. The default is GMT+8 which is the timezone for Western Australia.

Module ath-pci appears to be missing, so can't get wireless networking going. Otherwise looks good so far on my Acer 2423WXMI laptop.

Well pretty much have all the latest slackware ones posted, I also installed every option when installing slackware on the hard drive then booted puppy up to rip'em out and peazip them, If you go to my page just right click then select "Save Link As" and then it downloads. http://www.puppylinux.ca/ttuuxxx/Libs/ <----Libs
Its already helped a few people out already:)

You should link /usr/X11R7/lib/libXinerama.so into /usr/lib

From Barry's release notes:

Might explain it.
