(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

fm1st during the remaster when it tells you that it has made /tmp/root and ask if you want to edit anything. Go over to /tmp in rox and delete the root folder in there. Leave that rox open and open another rox then COPY your root folder into /tmp and continue with the remaster.

lwill for me when i tried the .pet it reset everything and I had to start over.I suggest changing the .pet into a .tgz using pet2tgz and then copy the new scripts over the old ones.But I didnt change the gtk2 stuff. That is what i did and everything worked fine.

Thanks, that was what I was thinking.

Here's a fix I made for 2.14X for printing with Firefox, I just had to make a couple system links to make this package work for 4 series

Hmm, see the pup-430.sfs is used in a 431.1 version.
Australian or Canadian logic?

My experience:
Using the Lin'N'Win method.
First boot pfix=ram.
Could configure the network and go on the net.
Was presented to create a save file.
At next boot, no network devices any more.
After a while I realized that I might had to put the zpxxxxx.sfs file in the same place as the pup-430.sfs.
Did so and could configure the network devices again.

Is this zpxxxx.sfs a new concept?

naaa its a older and better concept, after you do a install you can delete it, puppy 2.14 had zdrv_214 included which is basically the same.

@ttuuxxx
Thanks for an excellent retro puplet with ff ,now my laptop is frisky
i missed this puplet ,as i was always searching in the derivative section

thanks once again

OK IC. Same principle as the zdrv thingie in the past.

I downloaded puppy from the link on the first page a few weeks ago and Firefox was built in. I then gave the CD to a friend.

The other day I downloaded Puppy 431 from a link on Barry's site and there was no FF - just Seamonkey. Are there two different 431's?

Where can I download the one with FF?

Thanks,

Don

I believe the old one that I downloaded had a 430sfs in it

Page 1 of this thread has the links to the 2 firefox versions.
One with the older Xorg, and one with 4 series default xorg.

Thanks ttuuxxx. I take it this is basically a puplet based on the official release.

Good work and thanks for your help,

Don

bye!

What does any of that have to do with ttuuxxx's Puppies 4.31.1 ?

I think, buried in the post at the end is a bit about Dial up. But I can't be sure due to the breathless nature of the post. Maybe they want a classic dial-up acoustic coupler? Or maybe they just want to go TA DA!!! And leave it at that.

@ttuuxxx:
Hello! had some trouble of getting my CanonS300 (connected to Fritzbox-USB interface) to work, but after installing CUPS1.3.11-pet from Patriot, all things went well but my Firefox ( firefox-3.6b1-i686.pet): he showed up only
"print to file", when asked to print.
After several effortless trials with "about:config" and some discussions on the german Firefox-forum, I deinstalled and fetched the german version of FF3.5.5tar.bz2 and installed.
Did it like that:http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 30&t=46390
First thing I noticed was the broken entry in menu>internet>FirefoxBrowser: no reaction after click-on.
Secondly I noticed the impossibility of installing a desktop-starter for FF by right-clicking in the desktop and filing in the popup form (same thing: no reaction by clicking the starter).
I made a link on desktop from "file:///root/.mozilla/firefox/firefox
/firefox", this works.
To reach the toppic, when I'm now commanding "print", there shows up the printing-dialog window, with the only possibility to print to file(as usual.. )
Now I installed your above posted
gtklp-1.2.7-i386.pet hoping it would turn it all towards the good end -no, it didn't. (
So, what can be wrong - where can it be wrong?
(Tried out an new Firefox-profile with no better fortune!)

you may like to join in here...I get the same...you probably find leafpad does not print...its a gnomeprint problem I believe.

Toss out all that Patriot Cups stuff and anything else you added and revert back to the default printer setup, and then install this updated version gtklp, which I added a new file that should help.

tricky...the canon ink monitors only work with cups 1.3 or newer.
Where does gtklp come into the picture...is that the frontend to gnome print?

gtklp the way I built it up replaces lpr with gtklp and then I added /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc which forces
gtk-print-backends = "lpr,file" which is gtklp
and gtklp is http://gtklp.sourceforge.net/

ok (I think) ....cause some apps (abiword, epdfview) seem to call lpr and a simple interface and print...firefox calls the full multitabbed gnome dialog which does not see (later) cups.....permissions maybe of the cups socket....a general problem with later cups versions as they do not like the running as root setup. I will have a play with gtklp

thanks for the info

mike

ps you need a thread compressor

@bjoenn
Found it....
you probably have the fixed gtk2 for firefox stability so you need
to put this attached library from nimblex into

/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/printbackends/
relaunch firefox and see....

for the inkmonitor this miniscript is needed... see duct tape works
