Ummm... Are you using a shared browser cache with another Puppy? Because there is no way you should be seeing that.
Can you duplicate it with a fresh install? | You nailed it, I was using a shared cache. However, as you can see from the attached screens, I am still unable to install the printer (my HP 5280 does not show up), although your latest hplip pets are installed. I uninstalled them and reinstalled several times with a fresh download, didn't help. I have rebooted the computer and also shutdown and restarted the printer several times.
@jamesbond
Firefox problem apparently was caused by a bad download. New save file did not have a problem.

Your drivers are fine. Read back a bit for jamesbond's permissions fix. You need to run
Code: | chmod 0500 /usr/lib64/cups/backend/* |

Did a frugal usb install.
Internet connection established with ease.
Had to configure touchpad as usual.
Downloads from ppm and from the repro working well.
Installed all the apps I usually use and all working ok.
Encountered none of the problems that I had with alpha2.
Delighted with the result-great distro.

However, this link probably won't survive a reboot (I didn't check). The new 32-bit compatibility pack will need to contain it. |
I will try to remember this. The next 32-bit libs will probably comes from Slacko - it would (or at least should) make the entire 32-bit Slackware apps (at least those that works with Slacko) to be available for use with Fatdog.

Note: taking down ironware-sfs, 01micko has indicated incompatibility with beta1 and he has a fix. I will upload it once I've applied the fix.

Problems with starting the Puppy Package manager |
|
When starting the Puppy Package Manager I get the following error dialogue:
Quote: | GTK-server Error!
ERROR: No value entered where "gtk_tree_store_append" expects one! |
It happens when attempting to refresh the package lists. Anyone else seen this?

Yes, that means the package list doesn't conform to the standard package list format - some the the expected values are blank. Probably caused by foreign package (ie debs or tar.gz packages). Do you mind sending me your /root/.packages/user-installed-package and /root/.packages/Package-puppy-fd64-offical?

| I only have one machine with floppy drive and I have not formatted a floppy for years ... I'm not even sure whether the
drive is still working Thank you for the report though, I think devtmpfs doesn't automatically create this "special" floppy device
nodes. The floppy formatter program needs to be upgraded to create them on the fly.

Shinobar, do you mind testing this? Rename the fake .gz to floppy-format.sh, chmod +x and put it to /usr/sbin (replacing the original file) and see if you can format a floppy with it?
cheers!

On checking these files:
/root/.packages/user-installed-package is an empty file and
/root/.packages/Package-puppy-fd64-offical doesn't exist in the /root/.packages folder at all. Seems to have been deleted.
What I have locally installed is the DEBBI printer installer DEB as originally built by rcrsn51.
This may well be the cause of the problem?
This is causing the whole system to crash on shutdown as well

Probably. It was built with the old PET packaging system.
I will update it.

@rcrsn51
Sorry it was a PET package not a DEB you made - silly me!
Thanks for the prompt reply and the offer to rebuild it for FATDOG.
Best regards
Tronkel

Debbi is a PET package. In any case, I have repackaged it here with the newer PET packaging format.
Could you test it in FD600? I'm assuming that you are installing a 32-bit Brother driver.

Ooops so sorry I asked a Q in the other older thread for Alpha 1
and this is for Beta 1
I will move the text here and indicated this?
I Set it up as easy as I could so maybe
the grub4dos menu.lst is too simple?
title fatdog
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /fatdog/initrd
kernel /fatdog/vmlinuz PMEDIA=idehd PDEV1=sda2 psubdir=fatdog pfix=fsck
initrd /fatdog/initrd
It reported it could not find a certain file but it went by
too fast for me to read. Anyway I am using it now but it
fail to make use of simplfied html files. Could be the browser
being too picky and unrelated to fat dog as such.
But I found not way to install firefox on it. No ppm.
Am one supposed to do some apt-get or what?
that simplified html file that I use as my "home page"
lies on my sda2 file and have tested it on some 25 different
OS and many many puppies and only fatdog with this SM
failed to read it. So that where odd.
