Yes and there is a mini review in Distrowatch.BTW, luci is brilliant!
http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue ... 30#feature part of 3
Larry (Playdayz) wants to keep the name Lucid 'brand name' right into 5.2.
Even if we start using Maverick Meerkat binaries with 5.2.
Seems fine to me - so Luci can be the developer name
with a number based on the development version number
Luci 220 is the latest or just 220
but when the testing is done it will be released as Lucid 5.1.1
. . . and then later Lucid 5.2 work will begin
The Puppy News updates t(currently at 003)
are primarily for 5.1 users and are not the same as the Luci ISO which
contain more testing features for the release of 5.1.1
Ah one thing whilst I remember
I have two sound cards (internal and PCI board)
and I have to set this twice for it to take
Not sure why but just to mention.
We are Puppy.
Kats will be assimilated

Stripe, My usb wireless connection shows up in Simple Network Setup (SNS). It is wlan at the bottom right of the first screen. Does yours not?Any tips on setting a usb wireless conection up with it??
P4 2500mhz 2048mb ram, our lass wants puppy on her computer and after reading back in this thread it seems like pwireless2 is the way to do it. I think the encription is wep (well it needs a password). any advice would be greatfully accepted.
For two sound cards, even if one is usb, I have been using Audacious.Ah one thing whilst I remember

Audacious with multiple sound cards.
Boot fresh without doing anything special to sound config.
Open a terminal and enter 'alsamixer'.
In alsamixer press F6.
For me, both (actually all 3) sound cards show up on the alsamixer list.
I have found that if they show up on this list then Audacious will play through them.
Then I hit ESC to close alsamixer without doing anything else.
Install Audacious.
In Audacious, Menu, Preferences, Audio and the button Output plugin preferences
There is a long list. I have been picking the first listing for each card, called default and the name of the card.
Then I have to go back to alsamixer F6, choose the bottom card and then raise the volume,
Ping Playdayz
Playdayz......... I just downloaded the latest, being a glutton for punishment, and read your comments about mistakes etc. Do you mind if I disagree? Linux is all about throwing something out there and expecting the community to help perfect it, EXACTLY the way it is with Lucid. Lucid is already far and away the most competent Puppy ever. If I wanted 'finished' I would use Mint (actually just deleted it, screw passwords).
Thanks for everything to all of you. Remember, its the Bazaar, NOT the Cathedral.

Based on shinobar's work, here is a patch file that should fix the problem with printing PDF files. Please test it and report.

Now a minor fault at luci-220+CUPS-1.4.3+geany
somehow geany wouldn`t print page 1-9 , 10-19 and so on.
saying in the header being page 10 it was page 1
had to resize the lucisave-file because /var/spool/cups occupied 2 MB for each page !
cups at luci-219 and 220 seem to be equal.
also tried the epson simple printer driver
is there a link for the CUPS driver path ?
It has changed since 4.3 : /usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.2 isn`t it anymore

Are you saying that the wrong pages were printed or that they were numbered incorrectly? Try printing the document with NicoEdit to see what happens.Karl Godt wrote:somehow geany wouldn`t print page 1-9 , 10-19 and so on.saying in the header being page 10 it was page 1
Go to the CUPS web interface and see if there are some print jobs queued up. CUPS does like to leave some stuff in /var/spool/cups. You can make it auto-delete by adding these lines to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.had to resize the lucisave-file because /var/spool/cups occupied 2 MB for each page !
Code: Select all
PreserveJobHistory No
PreserveJobFiles No
Does this mean that it worked or did not work?also tried the epson simple printer driver
The old CUPS 1.1.23 in Puppy 4.3 used that folder to create its collection of PPD files. New versions of CUPS do this on-the-fly and don't need a folder.It has changed since 4.3 : /usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.2 isn`t it anymore

Worked for me.

IIRC, this was only a problem when running syslinux (ie a USB install) from the Live CD. Once Puppy is installed, /tmp has the right permissions.chmod 1777 /tmp
[Edit] I stand corrected. This is also a problem with full installs.

number was o.k. page unofortonotolo noto !Are you saying that the wrong pages were printed or that they were numbered incorrectly?
never used them much (vim,pico etcetera)Try printing the document with NicoEdit to see what happens.
Bookmarked !You can make it auto-delete by adding these lines to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.
works but visibility not usable I think ....Does this mean that it worked or did not work?
thought about the required space
cups wizard at 4.3 wanted to free some 19 MB of space
2 versions of drivers == double space ?
I wasn`t connected to internet while setting up the printer so the drivers must be somewhere ....
the setup ask to create a PPD file but I really don`t know the differece between pppd and ppdThe old CUPS 1.1.23 in Puppy 4.3 used that folder to create its collection of PPD files. New versions of CUPS do this on-the-fly and don't need a folder.
I also printed 30 pages of .pdf now 155 MB pers.st.sp 81 MB free ... without any additional .pets : no problem at all
the only problem was to feed the printer because it was so fast
.pdf file about boot parameters
I think you're referring to the connection icon in tray that has a redrcrsn51 wrote:Do you mean as opposed to the discreet little ball with the X through it that's being used now?Now we need the shiny little ball back on the partition we're running from.
I agree.
And I suspect that some newcomers will be confused by this, since an X usually indicates something negative.
X until connection is made.
I'm talking about the drive icons.
