I even fail to find the PNS. Where is that one?
You mean one have to go to PPM and isntall it first?
I looked and looked and could not find it.

SNS was there and the old Network manager too but no SNS.

Try Menu > Network > pns-tool connect from commandline

Don't let it scare you, it's very easy . Even works on my eee pc where sns fails every time. (my eee is wireless).
If yours is connected automatically at boot then there isn't a need to try pns-tool, but sure, if you want you can, unplug your connection first.

As for your screen issue, sure it is a jwm problem. Openbox is easily found in Puppy Package Manager.

The fact your printer isn't working is troublesome. I will investigate. I am in the process of compiling gutenprint-5.2.7, may help, I don't know.

Please do upload your fprot/xfprot compiles, I'll see if I can sort the icon issue.

Dave.. what happened? forgot to flip the switch?

There is already an extra app to get flashplayer in the internet menu if you decline at the first opportunity.


Keep testin' folks

[jim3630]

usual frugal pfix=ram install with spup broadcom pet. tried pns-tool then got doubles on my 2wire789 wifi connection. see pics below and report from pns-tool and sns report.

unable to connect using sns, connection wizard, nor with frisbee

rebooted to several diff distros with all showing the same situation with doubles of 2wire789 and unable to make connection regardless of tool used.

So,
I've been grumping over console fonts not being correctly displayed in some modern pups; Swedish letters åäöÅÄÖ are not shown correctly in a terminal (as in another tty, or after exit-to-prompt - in terminal emulators they're correct).

I boot with "pkeys=se" on the kernel line, which gives proper character rendering in X, but in slacko (and other modern pups, such as the lu[ci|pu]s), in a terminal (not a terminal emulator) I see
"sigma, SIGMA, ÷, à, ä, û"
instead of "åäöÅÄÖ" - only a half right there, small ä instead of capital Ä, at least the correct letter.

In wary (tested up until 5.1.3) these letters are represented correctly in a terminal.

In slacko these letters are correctly displayed in a terminal if booted with pfix=nox, and only then ....

I just discovered that in slacko, in another tty (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F3) if I run

Hi Mick,

Manual frugal installation on an NTFS partition. Everything appears to be working fine (including the wireless internet connection) except for the printer. It is a HP Officejet 6500 Wireless and it is not recognized by Slacko. Installed hpijs_print-3.11.3.pet and hplipd_scan-3.11.3.pet as reported for my main computer which also had a problem. Sys-info report is attached.

I have no idea why text isn't wrapped. It is on my monitor. Posting using Firefox 7.0 using a wireless connection.

Regards,
Jim

Didn't that printer work ok in earlier slacko? I'm thinking it's a usb issue.. Barry changed heaps of libs with his "no xcb" compile fest and I almost bet that's what has broken it.. every woof there is certainly something that gets broke in Slacko
FWIW, my canon-mp490 installed ok and prints from abiword. There is a bug with abiword, again from woof, .odt isn't working though the plugin is there

When pasting a long line please use the code tags for formatting, the forum doesn't handle it well, as everyone can see.

I am not sure if that firmware would work for you, as this kernel is 2.6.37.6, too early. Nothing changed with Frisbee or the driver, so again I'll blame the libs, I'll revert all the libs to B2 versions and bring out B4 soon.
