That one came up before, and I tested it and it worked.
you need to highlight the file first. | I knew that . It gives a warning that nothing is selected. But it gave nothing to me.
I installed 0.6 and it works alright. Bizar?
The wifi persistence problem is still there in pyro-0.6, for me. Am I the only one?
Could the output in console, running rc.network, be of any help to solve it? There is an error "ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132" which looks like a clue. When I google this error the solution is often something with rfkill.

Works for me. Use pfind to find the 'defaultfilemanager' file.

Samba not working |
|
Installed on 32 gb USB stick using 4install-quirky-to-drive-mbr.gz script
- IBM Thinkcentre desktop
I wasn't able to set up a Samba server with Pyro64 0.6
I am using Simple Samba Management. It appears to go smoothly.
The other computer can see the share but doesn't connect,
apparently because there isn't a user defined??
However I defined root (password = woofwoof)
Another interesting thing I discovered...
When I tried to define another samba user
Code: |
smbpasswd -a don570 |
It wouldn't accept this.
Code: |
# smbpasswd -a don570
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Failed to add entry for user don570. |

Cups |
|
If you haven't already found it, cups seems to be in "task-core-lsb-command-add", together with localedef, fontconfig-utils, mailx, msmtp, chkconfig, xdg-utils, foomatic-filters, and ghostscript. Makes me wonder about them also?
That's if i'm not having you "suck eggs".
EDIT1: Ok I apologise, looks like I really need to re-read OE and get my knowledgebase updated on this one.
from BLFS:
The CUPS Filters package contains backends, filters and other software that was once part of the core CUPS distribution but is no longer maintained by Apple Inc.
BLFS uses cups-filters 1.17.2, is it worth trying that rather than going backward.
I wonder if OE is using pdf-printing still https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/openprinting/pdf_as_standard_print_job_format.

I got printing working in Pyro64 0.6:
http://bkhome.org/news/201711/no-cups-support-in-gtk-in-openembedded.html
That was by manually compiling packages in Pyro64. Now the challenge is to apply the fixes in OE.
Not so good that I had to rollback cups-filters, fixing it, but I don't know why. But then, have had mysterious things like that before, with cups.

pclock 0.7.2 installed |
|
I was able to get pclock to work in pyro64 v0.6
by installing pclock 0.7.2
Then changing one line to recognize the music player from pmusic to 'defaultmediaplayer' (or xinewrapper)
Code: | pschedule -s -e "defaultmediaplayer '$ALARM'" "music Alarm" &
|
Code: | pschedule -s -e "xinewrapper '$ALARM'" "music Alarm" & |
There is a splash screen which I can't get rid of but that's okay with me.

The open file window...
has 'floppy' and another item 'pts'
The icon is missing beside floppy.
My computer does have a floppy drive but I never use it.
Could it be a line in fstab file???
Stretch linux has same problem

Here is quick solution to the cluttered open file window....
I commented out all the lines in fstab file and the puppy still booted fine
Code: | #none /proc proc defaults 0 0
#none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
#none /dev/pts devpts gid=2,mode=620 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,rw 0 0
|
This cleaned up my file open window.
However there was a complaint while booting that 'pts' wasn't defined.

Blender 2.7.8 worked.
That means that there is no problem with openGL 2.1

Open File Places in a 32-bit Frugal Subject description: Could not install a Full Pyro32 on this computer |
|
G'day,
Quote: | Here is quick solution to the cluttered open file window....
I commented out all the lines in fstab file and the puppy still booted fine
Code:
#none /proc proc defaults 0 0
#none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
#none /dev/pts devpts gid=2,mode=620 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,rw 0 0 |
In my Frugal Pup of Pyro32, I can confirm that by clearing the contents of the fstab file in /etc, I have a cleaner 'Places' panel when wanting to 'Open file' in, say, gimp.
This default listing of unwanted 'Places' (to look for files to open as a user) seems to be a problem (well, a minor iritation) only in recent StretchPups as well as Pyro, but not Ubuntu-Pups such as Xenial and Artful, nor in Slacko.
Re Pyro32-0.5:
I could not get a Pyro32 Full install to boot and run (blinking cursor on black screen) after installing from this Frugal or a Live-DVD (both of which do run). With just under 2GB RAM, maybe that's not enough for a Full? I tried an 8GB ext4 partition which ended up with well under 2GB of installed files for the Full (last screenshot).
As the Frugal Pyro32 seems not to utilise sfs as in normal Pups, the Frugal Pyro is at a big disadvantage when all my packages/applications are in sfs formats.
Waiting with interest to try Pyro32-0.6.
