Puppies 4.31.1 Puppy linux 4.30 Plus fixes and FireFox 3.5.3
I downloaded puppy from the link on the first page a few weeks ago and Firefox was built in. I then gave the CD to a friend.
The other day I downloaded Puppy 431 from a link on Barry's site and there was no FF - just Seamonkey. Are there two different 431's?
Where can I download the one with FF?
Thanks,
Don
I believe the old one that I downloaded had a 430sfs in it

One with the older Xorg, and one with 4 series default xorg.

I think, buried in the post at the end is a bit about Dial up. But I can't be sure due to the breathless nature of the post. Maybe they want a classic dial-up acoustic coupler? Or maybe they just want to go TA DA!!! And leave it at that.runtt21 wrote:What does any of that have to do with ttuuxxx's Puppies 4.31.1 ?

Firefox 3.5.5_de not printing with CUPS
@ttuuxxx:
Hello! had some trouble of getting my CanonS300 (connected to Fritzbox-USB interface) to work, but after installing CUPS1.3.11-pet from Patriot, all things went well but my Firefox ( firefox-3.6b1-i686.pet): he showed up only
"print to file", when asked to print.
After several effortless trials with "about:config" and some discussions on the german Firefox-forum, I deinstalled and fetched the german version of FF3.5.5tar.bz2 and installed.
Did it like that:http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 30&t=46390
First thing I noticed was the broken entry in menu>internet>FirefoxBrowser: no reaction after click-on.
Secondly I noticed the impossibility of installing a desktop-starter for FF by right-clicking in the desktop and filing in the popup form (same thing: no reaction by clicking the starter).
I made a link on desktop from "file:///root/.mozilla/firefox/firefox
/firefox", this works.
To reach the toppic, when I'm now commanding "print", there shows up the printing-dialog window, with the only possibility to print to file(as usual.. )
Now I installed your above posted
gtklp-1.2.7-i386.pet hoping it would turn it all towards the good end -no, it didn't. (
So, what can be wrong - where can it be wrong?
(Tried out an new Firefox-profile with no better fortune!)

Re: Firefox 3.5.5_de not printing with CUPS
Toss out all that Patriot Cups stuff and anything else you added and revert back to the default printer setup, and then install this updated version gtklp, which I added a new file that should help.bjoenn wrote:@ttuuxxx:

gtklp the way I built it up replaces lpr with gtklp and then I added /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc which forcesmikeb wrote:tricky...the canon ink monitors only work with cups 1.3 or newer.Toss out all that Patriot Cups stuff and anything else you added and revert back to the default printer setup,
Where does gtklp come into the picture...is that the frontend to gnome print?
mike
gtk-print-backends = "lpr,file" which is gtklp
and gtklp is http://gtklp.sourceforge.net/

ok (I think) ....cause some apps (abiword, epdfview) seem to call lpr and a simple interface and print...firefox calls the full multitabbed gnome dialog which does not see (later) cups.....permissions maybe of the cups socket....a general problem with later cups versions as they do not like the running as root setup. I will have a play with gtklpgtklp the way I built it up replaces lpr with gtklp and then I added /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc which forces

thanks for the info

ps you need a thread compressor
@bjoenn
Found it....
you probably have the fixed gtk2 for firefox stability so you need
to put this attached library from nimblex into
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/printbackends/
relaunch firefox and see....
for the inkmonitor this miniscript is needed...
see duct tape works

Hi Ttuuxxx.
I've been using your puplets and following your progress since Fire Hydrant 3.01. Need I add "keep up the good work!"javascript:emoticon(':D')
So, please take this as a suggestion from an admirer of your technical expertise and aesthetic inclinations; from someone whose expertise, as an attorney, is in the field of communication: how to create clarity, or when required, confusion. javascript:emoticon(':twisted:')
Placing the link(s) to the latest/revised ISO, sfs, and pets on the first post of the thread is a great idea. However, for those who come to the thread after, as yours are inclined to do, it's grown --I'm was tempted to spell that as "groan"--javascript:emoticon(':roll:') trying to figure out whether 'patches' you developed were included in your latest release can be a difficult. javascript:emoticon(':(') This is because the "subtitle" of the first post gives the date when it was first posted. Sometimes the release notes are self-explanatory.
But it would help if you would include in the text the date of the release. That way, a newcomer can quickly scan through the thread for discussions following that release.
Thanks,
MikesLr

Can't find network on reboot
My wife was using Windows on her computer -- it died. I loaded Ttuuxxx's wonderful puplet and everthing was great, but only for the first boot. After that, it can't find the network.
I'm booting from the cd. On first boot, it seems to be copying the sfs file to the hard drive but not including the network drivers. The machine uses the forcedeth driver for nvidia. When I search the file system for the proper driver, it can't find it. As a matter of fact is doesn't seem to find any network drivers. I'm assuming it uses the sfs on the cd for the first boot up and then the copied sfs for subsequent boots.
I know the driver is on the cd because I can set it up on the first boot. I'm telling it to save the network settings. Can I manually copy the right driver to some place in the layered file system? Can I mount pfix=ram and somehow add the proper driver to the .sfs? Any advice?
Sorry if this has been dealt with already. I've scanned through the pages, but there are a lot of them. Now I'm off to work for the day.
