Hi all

bcrypt does not seem to be working with 006.
Any other encryption programs??

Hi all

It seems just to be working on the local partition and not on the others, seems very sensitive to filename length as well

If someone suggests a bcrypt replacement that's better and reasonably sized, I'll swap it out.

Added the files, it fixed sound and wireless, but still has gxine

The full install still seems good.
It seems this happens in Xvesa. I'm working on an Xvesa replacement that will hopefully work.

For me bcrypt seems to work OK
Test file bcrypt.txt:

I actually am new to this thread of Fluppy so if this has been noted before I did not know.
But I just did my first boot of Fluppy on a Compaq Presario PC with 3 gig ram, AMD Athalon X2 4800 Dual-Core Processor, and Nvidia GeForce 6150 SE Graphics.
My eth0 was automatically set up and using xorg for my video card worked too.
But the thing that amazed me was that when I ran Hardinfo and selected sensors, it showed my PC temperatures as running almost 10c cooler than with other Puppy versions.

This might be off thread, but with that kind of difference, I think that feature should be part of Puppy 6, currently under development.

Try as I might, I cannot get printing to work with CUPS and my HP 2600n printer in Fluppy 006. I could get it to work in Fluppy 005, and it works in Puppy 5.1.1, by installing several pets, including foo2zjs-hp-cp1215-i486.pet, foo2xxx_r220909-0.0-i486.pet, and foomatic from the PPM in Fluppy. The foomatic drivers are the only ones that work with the 2600, because the others require an unobtainable proprietary plugin from HP. I've tried the various patches in this thread to CUPS, but nothing works. I REALLYwant Fluppy to work, because it has a later kernel than either 005 or Puppy 5.1.1, and it allows the lid switch and the sleep function keys to work on my netbook, which the earlier kernels don't. Fluppy 005 and 006 both share the same CUPS version, and Puppy 5.1.1 uses a later one, so I know it is something in 006 that doesn't allow it to work.

I always get the warning that the foomatic driver failed. I tried finding the print logs, butI can't find them.

Any ideas?

Jon

@jonlowe:

First, you will need a clean install to fix this up.

1. Install the cups-fluppy-patch as described here. Don't forget the two commands. Do NOT reinstall CUPS!

2. Install the foomatic-filters-4.0.4-i486.pet from here.. This is another key part of the CUPS printing chain that is missing.

3. Install the foo2xxx_r220909-0.0.pet from here.. This is the most up-to-date package for the foo2xxx drivers. Get Item #13.

Don't confuse the "foo" in #2 with the "foo" in #3. They are different things.

I did a simulated install of your printer using the above steps and it worked.

Ok, got it. I'm away from that computer at the moment, but it looks like the filter package is later than the one in PPM. Everything seems to install ok, and I can set the printer properties, but it always gives me the foomatic error. I will give it a try later and report back.

Do you know what changed in CUPS between Fluppy 005 and 006?

Thanks for your help!

rcrsn51,
Thank you, that worked! I note that the filter package is newer than the one in PPM, which must be a key to this working. You are a master of CUPS, which I wish wasn't necessary for Linux. A print system that "just worked" would be a godsend for Linux. The 2600n has always been somewhat problematic, but I will say that the Ubuntu 10.10 handled it well, although I don't like much else of it. Too big and fat.

Jerimiah,
Can you put those pets in the PPM for Fluppy 007? They would greatly simplify things.

Thanks again,

Jon

We can have our own PPM, but between supporting and developing both Puppeee and Fluppy, I don't have time to maintain it. I need dedicated help by someone familiar with packaging to make it happen.

I'm hoping this will mature enough to get Barry to put it into woof - but a lot of it is still at the duct tape and bailing wire stage. ;) Making it work on diverse hardware is a challenge.

Jemimah,
I understand. I wish I had the skills to help.

BTW, I just realized that I was reading and spelling your name wrong. My apologies!

Chrome Fonts

#576 Post by jonlowe »

I've got Fluppy 006 working pretty much the way I want it now. Printing works, suspend and lid switch works, it looks good, fast and responsive. The last thing that is bugging me is font rendering in Chrome. Take a look at this page in Chrome:

http://deals.woot.com/sellout

The fonts are all messed up, especially on the right hand side.
Is there a font package I can install, or setting I can change to fix this? I did some searching, but didn't find anything really relevant.

Thanks for all your help.

Jon

I tracked down a copy of 005 to see, and I don't think that anything changed. The various printing problems that were in 005 have continued into 006. You may have installed a patch in 005 that fixed something and have forgotten.

There are two issues:

1. The missing Ghostscript filters.

2. The foomatic-rip filter problem. This one has always been an issue when Puppy 4.3.1 is upgraded to CUPS 1.3.11, and there are a couple of fixes. The easiest one is to install the new binary version (as opposed to the current Perl scripts) as was recommended above. People using Gutenprint drivers won't see this problem, because Gutenprint doesn't depend on the foomatic-rip filter.

BTW, some acknowledgment from the lead developer about this situation would be appreciated. :wink:

Thanks. I forgot that you have your own forum also.

BTW, the script for extra fonts has a mistake in it. An stray " is in it. I posted a correction on your forum.

The fixes you describe fixed the display issue. Can you suggest some default fonts and sizes to use in Chrome that display well on small screens?

Thanks again.

Jon
