Were you talking about escputil? It is actually part of the Gutenprint package, not CUPS.

Useful Configuration |
|
@Ray MK and @Rickkk, welcome to 64bit world of Puppyland; nmely FATDOG.
I am not the official greeter, but I have been using FATDOG on an 8GB and a 4GB system without incidents. The help I have received and the understanding that these Puppy owners provided me is extremely good, clear, and consistent.
I run a LiveDVD environment, as such, I have NEVER installed anything on a HDD/USB ever in running FATDOG! My HDD/USB are ONLY used as storage devices; never for running the OS (This is a personal preference for I have outstanding performance running as I do from the LiveCDs/LiveDVDs/PXE.)
Most everything I need is in FATDOG so I may NOT be a good example, but let me share what I have in my 8GB PC. It has 2 services added via PPM and 1 service that Kirk has made available, almost exclusively, to me for Sharing files from FATDOG with all of my LAN PCs (including all windows and all Linux distros) Those services are the latest nVidia PET, the SAMBA PET (that I referenced) and 2 PETs which allow FATDOG to be a boot server to various other machines I test with on the LAN (this was provided, Thanks to JamesBond). That's it. (I think I may have flash installed, but its been so long ago, I can't remember if I did or not.)
That PC is a main system that is used everyday for internet, multimedia playback, NAS storage, adjustments of test cases used on other PCs. The PC has only been down 3 times in the year I have run V5 FATDOGs:
1. changed to new 5.10 ISO
2. change to new 5.11 ISO
3. Test a feature for comparison
Thus, the system is stable, Stable, STABLE!
The 2 systems have DVD writers, so, I write my ISOs to DVD in "multi-session mode" so that FATDOG can save all of my work whenever I need to reboot the system. This has worked flawlessly over time.
One thing that you MAY want to do is to setup a SWAP partition that is the size of your RAM. As, I have found that from time to time the system has used it, although those have been rare occasions. (Right now for example, my browser has 5 windows open with about 5-6 tabs open within each window.
Should you want to use the services I mentioned for your FATDOGI am expecting that the SAMBA PET will be made available via PPM in the upcoming June upgrade to FATDOG.
Hope this helps

new AMD cpu/gpu Subject description: gpu is in the cpu |
|
I have a new AMD E 350 fusion cpu that has the graphics inside the cpu. Could the drivers for it be included in the next Fatdog. The dash hound in ones face looks more like a sauuuuuusage dog and looks like Fatdog sat on the Firefox icon. Others on my wish list, auto line wrapping in Geany and Nicoedit and a delete to rubbish bin instead of delete to the never never. 3G modem support would be great also but that a hard one so not pushing for it.

Syslogd |
|
I need to run a syslog server. In FATDOG, I see Code: | # ps waux | grep sysl
root 9906 0.0 0.0 7208 316 ? Ss May28 0:00 syslogd -m 0
root 21309 0.0 0.0 4176 512 pts/3 S+ 18:37 0:00 grep sysl
| But, I cannot find a syslog log file or a syslog conf file. - Could someone help by directing me to where these may be hiding in the system?
- Does anyone know if syslogd logs from the "standard" port when LAN connected machines direct to it?
- Has anyone ever used syslog on a PUP (If so, could you share your experiences)?
Thanks in advance

VirtualBox in FatDog ? |
|
Hey all,
Please point me in the right direction if the answer to this question is already somewhere in the topic ...
Is there a way to get 64-bit VirtualBox working on FatDog ? The installer from the Oracle site seems to install the app, but it just won't start when selected from the menu (nothing happens ...).
Thanks again for any guidance ...
Cheers,
Rick

I wanted to see if Firefox was faster on Fatdog 64 than on Lucid 5.2.5, and the answer is Yes. This is a special Firefox 5.0b5, compiled for my AMD Phenom cpu in Fatdog 64 and I compared it to a version likewise compiled for Phenom (amdfam10) in Lucid 5.2.5. This one is 64-bits and the Lucid build is 32 bits. The Lucid build scores 4900 on the Peacekeeper benchmark and this one scores 5431, which makes it a solid 10% faster. The score for unknown: unknown is for the version of Firefox (Namaroka) 3.6.13 that is included with Fatdog 511.
If you have a Phenom or an Athlon 2 (I am not sure about Athlon 64) this build should work for you in Fatdog 64 only of course.
Firefox 64 5.0b5 for amdfam10/Phenom -> http://diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/firefox64-5.0b5-amdfam10.pet
It is possible to compile it on and for your own cpu. There are some instructions for Lucid. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=67756
The version currently linked is recompiled with kirk's options, from the message below.

playdayz,
I build Firefox like this:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-dbus --disable-hal --disable-crashreporter --enable-strip --enable-application=browser --disable-libnotify
You shouldn't need any other dependencies that way. Fatdog64-520 has Firefox 4.0.1. I'll be posting a beta soon hopefully.

Thanks, Tazoc (and JamesBond). The script did the job most painlessly ...
Once again, kudos to the FatDog/Puppy community for excellent support !
Cheers from warm, sunny (yay !) Montreal,

I couldn't use Fatdog without my trusty audio player, so here is Audacious 2.5.1 for Fatdog. The main thing I like is that it is easy to choose whichever audio device, without changing the default. It plays everything. I just like it.

Yes, except --enable-application=browser would be something like --enable-application=suite. Not sure if that's exactly it. Type ./configure --help and check for the exact option.
playdayz,
I repackaged your Audacious pet and put it in the repo. Please check it out and make sure I didn't break anything. I guess I need to find the source as well. Your pet was really big, due to it being unstripped mainly. Here some things to check if making a pet package:
1) Strip all binaries and libraries like this:
# strip --strip-unneeded *
2) Is anyone likely to compile another package that depends on this one? For almost all applications the answer is no, so delete all include files and static libraries (blabla.la or blabla.a) and macros /use/share/aclocal.
3) Delete unneeded or excessive localization files or documentation. Localization files are usually in /usr/share/local. Keep in mind this is an english only distro, so having tons of localization files for your app is probably not useful. If these files may be needed and they're large consider making another pet package with the SameName-dev-version or the SameName-doc-version. Look at the repo for examples.
4) Boot up pfix=ram and test your package to make sure needed dependencies are in the base iso. If not, they need to packaged If they're already in the repo, the dependencies need to specified when running dir2pet.
Actually before doing all of that make sure things are configured right when you compile it. Generally when we compiling something:
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
make
new2dir make install
We want to do ./configure --help and check for options we want or want to disable and add those options to the ./configure line above. When you run ./configure and it errors with a missing dependency, check ./configure --help and see if you can disable that dependency.
I'm planning on uploading Fatdog64-520 beta1 tonight. I'll make an announcement when it's there.
