What I do is boot from the live cd...

If only it were that simple.
Having now tried 2.14X, I can report that it fails to completely boot, just like all the other versions. I have now a swap partition via Deli Linux (Thanks, zenfunk), and things seem to be booting okay, "Loading kernel modules,... Looking for Puppy in hda1...Looking (further) for pup_save.2fs ..." .

All of a sudden it fails with:

" ERROR, cannot find Puppy on 'idecd' boot media.
PUPMODE=1 PDEV1=
Exited to initial-ramdisk (/dev/ram0) commandline...
(the linux-guru can now debug, 'e3' editor is available)

/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off"

Did I get a bad burn on the CD, or what is going on?

Yes Dave it is, Smile Pwidgets was the leader and 2.14X toppled it and stole the title as largest thread, Pwidgets stands at 193 pages, http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=35601 Smile

Subject description: Printer Config

Hi,
I was trying to set up a printer (HP deskjet d1460) and had some difficulty. Went thru the puppy forums and installed CUPS 1.3.11. It installed well and when I opened CUPS which got a menu entry now under System, clicked Administration/Find a printer, it automatically detected the printer and installed it. Yes, I did download the HPLS and install it too.
I restarted and have no problem with 214. The question I have is: Is there any downside to using CUPS 1.3.11 or any know issues with it? Why do we use an older version of CUPS? Pl throw some light on it.
Thanks in advance.


Hi
Cups is basically a gui or frontend to printing software. It uses ghostscript as the backend most of the time. I'm using a earlier version of cups because the later version had improved security that crippled printing on puppy, basically the newer packages you'll find on the forum have large security holes in it so that it executes properly. I would rather have better security. really most people would only need some newer updated drivers, I don't include them , because it would increase the base distro size, hmmmm I should compile the latest ghostscript.

hmmm I tried to patch VLC but I only had audio, hmmmm do I tempt to recompile VLC 0.8.6h again. What a risk, it took so long last line, but 2.14X does have a few extra libs so it might be quicker.

so, i gave it go... i tried to see if I could get chromium working on 214x. wow was that confusing. so the answer is no, personally i am not far enough along yet to be able to get it to work. i didn't even know what they were talking about on some of the stuff on the build page. oh well, its fun learning. I am WAY beyond what i knew a year ago.

Thank you tuuxxx for clarifying the CUPS aspect. I guess, leaving aside the security, I can continue using the newer version. 'Find Printer' makes things easier for a greenhorn like me. I agree that we need to keep the distro size small.

Hi,
I announced to a Japanese forum in January this year.

google-chrome-214X.pet 19mb https://sites.google.com/site/tomo37798/puppy/google-chrome-pup-214X.pet?attredirects=0&d=1

The version improves easily because this pet became old a little.

If--- Dev latest version of wolfe 's package is downloaded and defrosted.

Next, it copies it onto directory of opt/google/chrome that installs the following files.

chrome 　　chrome-sandbox 　chrome park 　libgflashplayer.so 　plagin.ivh　resorces.pak 　local

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

tomo, thank you very much. it does work fantastically. and i didn't look inside the pet to see what dependencies you fixed but i appreciate it. i went into opt and deleted chrome and downloaded the new version from their website and it works perfectly. it really flies on 214x. thank you again. i will sleep happily tonight Smile

ttuuxxx, one other thing. if you decide to come out with another updated release of 214X take a look at the netsurf program being used in the new puppies. it seems to work really well compared to dillo. i never used dillo but i enjoy netsurf. i'm just interested in your opinion on it. you usually understand size and workings of these things better than most of us Smile

I grabbed the Google Chrome pet and it works pretty well. Posting from it now.
FWIW, I personally prefer Dillo over NetSurf.Then again, I've used Dillo more............. Laughing
