Anything else you want to test?
-----------------------------------------
My no-print problem may be my fault, and maybe not my fault... If reports aren't done by someone... right or wrong... who's going to find things. Yes, I will continue to test things on new puppy builds just because developers like peebee and others don't have the time to do it.

Just for the fun of it... I uninstalled printer, hplip, all dependencies on the UPupBB that won't print.

Then reinstalled everything again and guess what! NO PRINT (same as before) and... just wondering why there isn't any "path" listed in the dialogue box? for both peasy and mtpaint???

Hmmm must be everything is working as it should huh? I think not!

Hey, thanks for giving your time and getting involved!

Confirming jrb’s finding that mtPaint will print a gif via PeasyPrint 3.0

[rcrsn51]

And here is a GIF printing to a Deskjet 1112 via mtPaint > Actions > peasyprint

[peebee]

18.05+8

mtpaint now uses peasyprint-3.0
+ some ubuntu updates

[rcrsn51]

Peasyprint 3 won't print anything even .jpg .png and yet any text in leafpad will print right out, so, not the printer.

Then reinstalled everything again and guess what! NO PRINT (same as before) ... for both peasy and mtpaint???

There still is not a resolution to this problem.

I printed it via Actions > Print Image > gtklp

It printed successfully to both the CUPS-PDF printer and an HP laser printer.

The filename did NOT appear in the gtklp input box, but it printed anyway.

Transferred my clipart file from another puppy (Vivid6.5 401 Kernel- fantastic puppy) Loaded a graphic in the original mtpaint 3.49.12 (it gave a gtkpl %f as print function but like rcrsn's, NO PATH WAS IN THE DIALOGUE BOX) proceded to print... IT PRINTED without a hitch.

So,So,So... someplace along the line something went haywire and did a number on my previous/regular UPupBB savefile and it STUCK in there.

Confirming jrb’s finding that mtPaint will print a gif via PeasyPrint 3.0

Seems pretty resolved to me. Everyone has gotten printing to work.

sszindian's original problem appears to have been a flawed save file which certainly happened to me often enough before I quit using them.

BTW, Thanks once again peebee. IMO upupbb is an excellent Puppy.

@peebee i have the wifi working with "LxPup-Sc - 18.06" with a recent
kernel "Linux 4.16.13-lxpup64" and the drivers from github.

More nice work M. peebee,thanks.
Can someone else using wacom with easystroke installed from ppm confirm strange x freezing(if its a x problem...or libinput) behaviour with stock upupbb kernel ?
Here using wacom ISDv4 E3 pen or touch after few easystroke actions are used it goes to black screen with red dots on left screen then poweroff without saving.
When using any other huge kernel in upupbb,now lxpup64 4.17 everything is fine,no freezing. Only tested 64bits kernels but that should not be the source of the solution..
Artfulpup has the same problem.

This report only has value if you identify the wifi adapter and driver.

This is the thing no puppy recognize the hardware except one with the most recent kernel !

[peebee]

Puppy has "traditionally" used a kernel patched to include AUFS to provide its union filesystem....

The standard kernel comes with a simpler union filesystem called overlayfs (which doesn't require external patches...)

@gyro has been developing a version of the puppy infrastructure using overlayfs and has provided a delta to convert UpupBB-18.05+8 to overlayfs working.

Try it from:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 776#998776

There are changes** to how puppy behaves when using overlayfs as opposed to aufs which are summarised at:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 777#989777

** e.g. menu.lst boot commands, sfs handling, no saveFILES - saveFOLDERS are OK

I'm sure @gyro would welcome testing and feedback.
Cheers
peebee

e.g. menu.lst entry=

Code: Select all

title OverlayFS (sda4/overlayfs)
  uuid 9bb32631-a1f9-425f-81bb-9f816347e8fc
  kernel /overlayfs/vmlinuz  pmedia=atahd pdrv=sda4 psubdir=overlayfs
  initrd /overlayfs/initrd.gz

@peebee, thanks for the mention.

I would particularly appreciate answers to the question;
which of the "bright" ideas implemented (differences from "normal" Puppy), might be considered a step forward?

But please do not post answers in this topic, use this one http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=110636.

I have a problem about additional monitor.
I choose systems, monitor settings, then i choose advanced, and i choose external vga monitor position on left. I got like this.
The tray is not on bottom my external vga monitor, but flying like this:


Another thing is, Network Connection Wizard says that No interfaces are active, But actually it is actve. The tray can say that.


Edit:
I fix my first problem by manually editing file /root/.jwm/jwmrc-tray2

Code: Select all

<Tray x="0" y="-1" autohide="off" insert="right" layer="above" height="28" layout="horizontal" >

i’m a bad tester with good intentions...
Did a upupbb+8 test on another tabletpc with exact same wacom device, stock kernel,fresh frugal install,easystroke ,no problem...then taught it could be hardware specific and l have tested on the problematic tablet with a fresh savefolder of +8...
ok too...think i was still using an 'upgraded' artfulpup savefolder in upupbb...oups...

of topic but,search forum for rights problem using microphone in chromium run as spot,did not find the way yet ,someone got a mic working?

LTS (Long Term Support) does not mean no updates.....

[Revolverve]

peebee, is there changelog somewhat of +9.
My easystroke saga got finally nothing to do with upupbb or my bad testing...
Its a know bug...it was gone with kernel switching (!!!%°?)but back with +9 , now with all kernel .Whore there gtk related update?Just trying to point to the problem..
Thanks

I managed to get 2.92 but need 2.93 or 2.94 for my book site. The Tahr pet that I have doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Transmission 2.94 is in the repo of ubuntu cosmic: https://packages.ubuntu.com/cosmic/transmission
Or you could try compiling the source in upupBB.
