Been testing for a few days and its looking very promising
Had a few weird minor things going on during desktop setup but they all seemed to be corrected once I made a save file.
One oddity.
The cpu temp tray icon which I've never had working in any Puppy previously loads up at boot and then vanishes around 30 seconds later.
Cheers Phil.You're doing a great job for Puppy once again

Have you considered focuswriter? haven't tested it much but it's very lightweight and capable, and it appears to be reliable.666philb wrote:Xenialpup nearly BETA

CUPS - no Admin
G'day 666philb,
After a whole "5 mins" of running a Frugal Xenial, a couple of things.
CUPS - 'fires up' as you said back on p1, but fails for me at the next step - when trying to add a printer via the Admin page (see screenshot)
Having more partitions than sense , I can have issues displaying the drive icons across the bottom of my monitor with overlaps making clicking tricky on many Pups (not just xenial).
Fiddling with the Icons set-up (your 'Icon manager' or in /etc/eventmanager), I can re-space them out a bit from the startup but only the second row (my sdb series) while the sda set remains unchanged. Also the sorting is not quite numerical. (See screenshot again)
I guess this is a Woof problem but thought I'd mention it as there may be an easy fix from someone knowing what he's doing .

@David: I cannot replicate your problem. Try a clean setup with no installed packages.
@Phil: There are indeed numerous missing files. I have pulled them out of Tahrpup605 and assembled them in a PET here.
1. /etc/cups/snmp.conf is needed to detect network printers. It also needs a CUPS restart.
2. /usr/share/cups is missing a bunch of stuff. The most crucial file is mime.convs.
3. The CUPS filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops is broken. The version from Tahrpup works.
4. The SANE config file /etc/sane.d/dll.conf is missing.
I have run a full suite of print/scan tests and everything now works.
However, I cannot get dir2pet to work with xz compression.
BTW, I have posted a new PeasyScan v2.9 here.
[Edit] PeasyPort needs an upgrade to v2.1 and YASSM needs an upgrade to v2.9.

I was trying earlier today to activate my canon printer/scanner, with no success.
Installed your cups patch.pet and the other printer pets you recommended.
Having already installed your candi.pet and the canon driver.debs both printer and scanner are working well.
Would have no chance of doing any of this without your help.
Thanks as always.

Excellent. Now that you have all the Canon Debian packages downloaded, you should use candi-pet-maker to build your own print/scan driver PET. Read here.

I got it to work in Slacko 6.3.0.6, but it wasn't easy (example pet of the spot dir):rcrsn51 wrote:However, I cannot get dir2pet to work with xz compression.
cd /root
mkdir -p new/spot_xz/root
mkdir -p new/spot_gz
cp -r spot new/spot_xz/root
cp -r new/spot_xz/root new/spot_gz
cd new
dir2pet spot_xz -x -s -w="spot gets xzed"
dir2pet spot_gz -g -s -w="spot gets gzed"
mv *.pet ..
cd ..
rm -rf new
ls *.pet -l
Not sure if root permissions need to be changed first. But if typing "which xz" shows nothing in Xenial, dir2pet won't work.
so nonody complains about the kernel ! that is fine.

Why, that prooves that people need a kernel which fit their computeur, no more. Let the Puppy as is, please.

Hi.
Since Ubuntu Xenial Xerus seems to be a LTS version:
- any plans to build a Xenial Puppy in 64bit?

"you only wanted to work your Puppies in German", "you are a separatist in that you want Germany to secede from Europe" (musher0) :lol:
No, but I gave my old drum kit away for free to a music store collecting instruments for refugees! :wink:

Fresh install and CUPS works
G'day rcrsn51,
Thanks for your reply to my Xenial CUPS problem.
Finally I got around to running CUPS in a clean Xenial frugal install (deleted the Save file and used an 'empty' Boot manager).
CUPS ran with no added sfs and then with four out of five of my standard-frugal 'home-made' sfs .
I'd just recently made an sfs of the Epson printer and scanner pets and when I loaded this, CUPS gave the problem .
Installing the printer .pet and I could run CUPS so I need to re-visit my printer+scanner .sfs to check what it's/they're doing.
All good fun .

666philb -- I can report, finally, that there is a working OpenChrome version that supports the VIA VX855 chipset. I have the *.so and *.la as compiled in the TahrPup 6.0.2-based X-Tahr 1b3. (I assume that they will work in TahrPup 6.0.5 as well...? Kernel 3.14.20 is what I have right now.)
The current Git version of OpenChrome (as of this post) is the one I've compiled. I don't have XenialPup at the moment, but I'm happy to try and compile it.
If XenialPup still uses (as I suspect it does) OpenChrome v.0.3.3 -- that is a known BAD configuration that will not function on systems using the VX855 and similar chipsets, which means that anyone with that hardware is stuck in text mode.
I don't have a complete list of systems, of course, that use the affected chipsets -- but it's going to include, at least, a number of oddball thin clients and perhaps other systems as well.
Again, I have a compiled openchrome_drv.so and openchrome_drv.la for TahrPup 6.0.2, and I can compile it again for any other Pup you might need or want it in -- and I'm more than happy to do that, as well.
