Precise Puppy RC2, October 20, 2012

[BarryK]

A bit of searching, and found a little pet called Multiple Sound Wizard Pet.

http://smokey01.com/Tman/apps/Multiple_ ... Wizard.pet

Might do the trick.

The official PET is:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_pa ... mscw-2.pet

Now added to pkg list for Precise Puppy build.

Resize personal storage file does not work:


# /usr/sbin/resizepfile.sh
/usr/sbin/resizepfile.sh: line 96: xmessage: command not found

Fixed.

bcrypt
bug ????????:roll:

Bcrypt works for me too. But maybe that's because I am running a later Precise Puppy with many bug fixes.

Thanks, fixed.

There is no doubt, there are serious 'Cups' issues?

I am reluctant to spend much time on these proof-of-concept Pupplets. Like Drake before it, I don't expect that Precise is going anywhere.

However, here are some quick fixes.

1. Install the PET below.

2. Open the file /usr/share/cups/mime/mime.convs.

3. UNcomment line 41 - "application/pdf ....."

4. Restart CUPS.

Thanks for the temporary fix. I found that another DEB package is needed, 'cups-filters'. This has the missing 'pdftops', it also has a mime.convs with appropriate lines uncommented.

The next precise, alpha3, should hopefully have fixed this problem.

Xsane scanner from graphics in Precise is just a ‘no go’ period, it is not even recognized?

You may well be right and Precise may never get going and I'm not really sure if BK wants it to get going, I believe it's more of a personal build he wanted... but I figure if BK took the time to create it, and make it available, someone may be able to use it, so... I'll give some time testing for him. I will say, what does work works very nice in Precise!

Xsane is working now, for me anyway. Expect it ok on alpha3 release.

Yeah, I want it for the ARM port, as binaries are compiled for armv7 CPUs.

There is quite a high level of interest, also see pemasu's Upup thread.

So, I am moving ahead with debugging it.

epdfview needs liblcms2 available from liblcms2-2_2.2+git20110628-2ubuntu3_i386.deb which you can also get from the Puppy Package Manager.

epdfview now working.

while trying to test print and also many other function, it asks the password for printing. I would like to install Canon Network Printer cum Photostat IR6055 on Puppy. However, due to problem, I was not able to print.

Precise Puppy alpha 3 is out! This is version 5.2.55.

See blog announcement and download link:

Hi Barry, thanks for the precise alpha3.

Small request.
1. /etc/profile
Please remove the LC_COLLATE setting. We have never seen any problem without this.

Code: Select all

#v426 recommended by MU, avoid crashing for non-English locales on some apps...
export LC_COLLATE=en_US

2. mtpaint
We hope the mtpaint upgraded to the version 3.40.

I did a manual frugal install to a 4gb flash drive.

Pemasu's build of Precise Puppy had the Broadcom wl wifi driver built-in to the iso....

I have compiled the driver under this version and uploaded:
See here for pet and background

Cheers

Note to Barry:

one thing I miss in your builds that seems to be common now in everybody else's builds is "sfs load on the fly" - is there a reason why you don't include this facility??

Thanks

It is the first time I have got a "black screen" after rebooting.
It is easily fixed by restarting the X server. (easy if one knows it )

[sszindian]

Precise Alpha-3:

(1) Loaded via pfx=ram
(2) Configured and Saved to 'CD'

(A) Programs installed without any problems
(B) eth0 self-configured and worked OTB
(C) wlan0: was able to configure for-
rt2800usb
AE1000 Linksys usb-stick
Belkin 300 Router
on: Dell Pentium 4

It tried and tried but... would NOT connect to Internet.

(D) Downloaded and installed 'peebee's patch'
Precise 5.2.55 k3.2.17 Upload 2405121315 [wlan0]

wlano working perfect... connect automatically upon CD reboot and am posting from it now.

Overall: Looks like Precise is coming together finally, at least at my end!
