Which console ?

until now I had no severe problems but ...C+A+F2 ...C+A+F4 seems to work too

Ahh ... terminal seems to been gone from the Menu .. let`s see at /usr/share/applications ... seems to be not there

Running 006 frugal from clean install, JWM desktop count can't be changed from the menu. This showed up in xerrs:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/jwmconfig2/virtualDesk: line 83: [: too many arguments
EXIT="abort"
[H[2JEXIT="ok"
I edited .jwm/jwmrc-personal and that worked.

Tried to play an avi file from my Star Trek collection, gnome mplayer starts but doesn't play, got this in xerrs:

Code: Select all

mrxvt with start problems at several locale settings

#326 Post by Karl Godt »

mrxvt
It disappears only if specific country localization is set (Desktop menu > chooselocale).
In my case, mrxvt became unavailable as soon as I set hu_HU. Fortunately, when I checked UTF-8 encoding, mrxvt returned.
Karl, maybe you selected de_DE@euro. In this case, mrxvt disappears, too. Tick UTF-8 or select de_DE.
Page 18
Until now I hadn't have much time to play with locales

Mrxvt desn't like de_DE@Money ... de_DE works both checked/unchecked UTF-8 ... Changing the keyboard to deadkeys works, too .... really might be that thing Béèm is complaining about ....
What about Sakura ? it is 1-1.5 MB (3pkgs from debian repo) because at /usr/bin/*rxvt* are 4x 300 KB *rxvt*

Mrxvt doesn't disconnect `pgprs-shell` at mrxvt by Control+c after a while - only another mrxvt with `kill -s HUP pppd`... but perhaps the Internet gets patched dead at the moment .....
[ PrtSc- SysRq ] - key is working here too ... that is very nice ..!

Fresh frugal install of 006 on the old P3 test box. Luckily for me, Mrxvt was working out of the box.Went ahead and fixed the menu entry, just because. :)
Most everything else is looking good so far.

NOTE: I didn't compile the plugins pet those are the ones that came with debian's abiword so I'm not sure if they are going to work with this pet but spellchecking works in main pet and I'm not really sure what those other plugins do anyway or if someone needs them. Main pet seems stable and working okay so please test.
Seems ok dejan but it loads weird, as if screen position etc is not saved between use. Functions properly though.
I wish I could get printing to work but find Karls instructions too obscure. Working on it........

geany at 005 is printing while abiword doesn`t prints : pdftoraster failed ..... perhaps a font thingy : abiword can adjust font but geany font and style ... and I had to use CUPS-PDF first today to get geany to print afterwards ... Epson is default and checked shared but the Headline says Not Shared :roll: :evil: :twisted: :roll:

Had a quick look at 006
seemed all right - fonts are not rendered properly (or is that my imagination?)

No Quickpet? (I hear from Igu he no like . . . )
I could not find Openshot or XaraLX or anything I might want to use in the
package manager so I am back in Quirky without any real Squeeze testing . . .

As an end user why would I use Debian
unless I can get some reliable progs?

Am I unreasonable? :?

You can keep the Owl
- will pop back for 007 :D

I think I'll make a 061, 006 with fixes :)

So ... in order to fix printing, all we need is ghostscript? I can turn the DEB into a PET to skip Woof's processing.

I want to add fam (I removed it, I guess we need it after all) and dejan555's Abiword. I think we should roll back to rxvt-unicode, mrxvt is too problematic, I wanted to do this in 005 already.

EDIT: Lobster, you can get them from the repo. I have some cool concept of a Quickpet-like thing that is customizable and can be used on any Puppy, I want to work on this and a new kernel for dpup once all issues are solved.

lpadmin lpdomatic lpmove lppasswd lpr lprshell

lpr -f /Path/to/File at terminal prints directly to the printer but

lp /Path/to/File not ...... I`am somewhat sure that this may be a problem perhaps, too .... :?:

[EDIT]
this is running, too from console :

# lp -d Epson_Stylus_SX410 -o cpi=12 -o lpi=8 -o page-left=72 /etc/group

Geany Printing options need to be in the definition range of

#340 Post by Karl Godt »

006 pix=ram now

Printer setup was again no problem

Only installed /mnt/+initrd+mnt+dev_ro2+dpup006+dpupsave-MAINdpup006.3fs/root/Downloads/ghostscript_8.71~dfsg2-6_i386.deb

still printing seems to be only possible from the epdfview previewer today ... I`m starting to believe in ghosts for the moment ....

I somehow believe its in the lpr commandline or a much too little timeout compiled inside the editors Leafpad, geany, Abiword, gnumeric I`ve tested today

[EDIT]

Playing with the many printing options at the Geany-Printing-Gui it seems that I found some settings to be sync`ed with the cups settings ... geany now prints directly to the printer

[EDIT]

printing today : gnumeric, leafpad, geany and mtpaint via epdfview ( adding .pdf to .png so it is .png.pdf . the default 006-abiword didn`t print

I also tested don570 mtpaint shortly today but many defaultsettings are the same as at 3.31 especially to uncheck fix aspect ratio at resize/scale canvas is still annoying .. otherwise seems to work o.k ....
