2nd update (3rd ISO)
I've just uploaded the 2nd updates (3rd ISO's) containing all the fixes to date:
april-7.0.1C-uefi.iso md5sum 50ecc0c791b796a6816493bcab4fde72
april64-7.0.1C-uefi.iso md5sum 73e8e6bfa88423df329c5c769ab64253
Here are deltas (much smaller downloads) if you just want to upgrade the 2nd ISO. If you only have the 1st ISO upgrade it to the 2nd ISO with the .deltas in the 3rd post on page 1:
april64-7.0.1B-uefi.iso___april64-7.0.1C-uefi.iso.delta md5sum e72bdfa4a0c106634d3bf504aabea00c
I think its pretty solid (where's the fingers crossed icon?), will give it a week and get rid of the RC designation. Will now be focusing on making some additional packages, Taking requests but no guarantees.

Only one little bug probably depending on my particular usage. I have installed sfs_load and I use to load Libreoffice.sfs. I have to load it at every boot in both A32 and A64 because at every boot /etc/rc.d/BOOTCONFIG is resetted and EXTRASFSLIST is blanked. I have solved putting a script in /root/Startup:
In my situation I have a frugal install in ext4 partition.
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
sfs_load -c +LibreOffice-6.0.6_64_it_xz.sfs

Well that lasted about 3 hours.jrb wrote:I think its pretty solid
Gtklp and Peasyprint aren't working for me, just spits out reams of paper with gobbledygook at the top. It may be because of my minimal cups install, only the cups-1.7.5.pet. Has anybody got them working? I tried the earlier gtklp for wary5 but same story.
I'll check that out. I use a system like yours to load all my extra sfs's. I was going to post it once the base system is bug free.watchdog wrote:Only one little bug probably depending on my particular usage. I have installed sfs_load and I use to load Libreoffice.sfs.

Re: 2nd update (3rd ISO)
Good, thanks. I'll do a full cups install and see if that fixes it.watchdog wrote:They work for me in A64.jrb wrote: Gtklp and Peasyprint aren't working for me, just spits out reams of paper with gobbledygook at the top.

BTW: its not just /etc/rc.d/BOOTCONFIG that isn't saving. I don't think anything is saving after the initial save. Haven't looked too deep yet. Won't be able to get on it until tonight.
Thanks again, J
Another foolish error on my part has resulted in pmedia=ataflash and perhaps other pmedia settings not saving after the initial creation of a save file/folder. I am attaching a temporary fix until the next updated ISO. You will have to reboot to get it to take affect.watchdog wrote:Only one little bug probably depending on my particular usage.

@jrb,
I have a suggestion but dont know if workable. As most of us frequently need to capture a screen when surfing, it would be much convinient to add an icon in a "very easily accessible place". I've download the xscreenshot utility(that one within the xannotate ) but dont know how to do that. xscreenshot utility is only 16k size.
Thanks

Excellent idea Quirk. Will be in all my Puppies from now on. Updates for A32, A64 and Precise-light will be posted sometime today.quirkian2new wrote:@jrb,

I used MtPaint-Snapshot because its already in all Puppies and I like it.
Thanks for the idea, J

Quick testing
Wow, are you ever observant!watchdog wrote:april-7.0.1D 32 bit: /usr/bin/dir2pet malfunctioning. I copied it from tahr. Print menu of evince broken again. I copied /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/printbackends/libprintbackend-cups.so from tahr.
I reverted back to dir2pet from Racy because I like the GUI. I find if the folder is named correctly and contents are good it goes directly to the GUI. If not, hit Enter 5 times and it will go to the GUI and create the .pet. If you prefer the more modern dir2pet I'm glad you were able to copy it from Tahr.
I booted with no SaveFile and yes the Evince print menu only showed "Print to file". However, after I installed my printer (I have an .sfs for that) the menu showed my printer as well. I quickly checked and libprintbackend-cups.so is there in the ISO. Did you have a printer installed when you checked?
Thanks for testing, J

Yes, I had. There was an error in console about libprintbackend-cups.so when opening print menu.jrb wrote: I booted with no SaveFile and yes the Evince print menu only showed "Print to file".

Re: Quick testing
As always i come by to watch your updates.
I guess i can suggest some ideas.
Try "icon=evince" if that icon truly exist.

If you do not need it, or just what to save that memory space, what I do is to place a fake config some where in /usr/share/dbus-1.

I think this one have to do with missing gvfs backends.jrb wrote:...GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications....
Re: Quick testing
Gracias Enrique. I never knew what avahi was until now, thanks wikipedia. Its not in the Q7 repos but I'll have a look at the Tahr package and see if I can use your suggestion. Now to figure out gvfs.enrique wrote:As always i come by to watch your updates.
