Rockin my world playdayz, confirmed it works in 203. Huge setup time saver. The only reason I've had so far to update repos was Aqualung, all the other stuff in quickpet is more than I'll ever need. I wish there was an upvote feature in phpBB.playdayz wrote:You are going to like this, tubeguy. I am using luci-204pre, which has the same mplayer as luci-203, and I just built Aqualung and all it needed was 4MB and about 6 dependencies--I think that mplayer has provided almost all of what it must need. This one would not work with 5.0.1 as it is--is yours working with 5.0.1--only with luci-203 I think but here it is. I will test it with 203 just to make sure now. <Yes. It works with luci-203.>

but the extra weight is all the glx stuff, It should overwrite the old nvidia module just fine. Don't try it in Puppy 5 because it wont work. It works perfectly for me on a late model geforce card. Code: Select all

Thank you!01micko wrote:The Amarok saga
Well I've made an Amarok sfs that works.. after I had made several that didn't
The main problem is KDE 4.4 with Ubuntu is buggy! The internet is literally littered with bug reports about Ubuntu and KDE4, most of them unsolved. I was getting close, but to be honest the latest Amorok looks terrible, unintuitive, this old 1.4 version IMHO is much better, maybe it hasn't got the latest and greatest features, but it works!
I have made a KDE4 runtime sfs but it is subject to much testing before I dare upload it!
The sfs, is just the old sfs "remastered", that is, it has the updated Ubuntu libs and the Xine-libs added. I used the tool I posted above, it works to merge folders in old sfs too, if you name the old dir and the dir to create the sfs the exact same name.

Enjoy!

Thank you! You've repaired whatever changed from lucid 5.01 to the current luci. Your updated amarok-1.4-lucid.sfs works great with luci 203. One would think. I will look some more.CUPS+browser........ There HAS to be another way...............?

I get approximately the same behavior with Firefox. Now I'm wondering if the firewall is protecting me from contact with printers directly connected to localhost. Is there a simple, obvious way to disable the firewall temporarily, or is this a command line operation? I try to approach things the way a naive user would. When I start command line wizardry, my configuration quickly becomes idiosyncratic.The first step would be to use another browser--I think Firefox is safe. Then go to localhost:631 and hope for the best.
I was hoping against hope that Netsurf would work.... but I was paying more attention to other things in 203.
Sorry, I didn't say I had installed both the foomatic db and the hpijs-3.10.2-dynppd pets. The new entries do show up in the printer administration menus. I've also tried dropping a ppd file in the box saying to drop it here, but this produced no apparent result. I think that is broken. Generally, it seems every communication with a printer, after initially detecting the printer, fails.The second step would be to go to the first message in this thread and download and install the foomatic-db and see if more printers show up and even, it could happen, work! For the HP you should also download the extra HP ppd file; I think there is a good chance that will help.
Don't worry. You needn't tell me, I've been here before. Some time back, after some success with Stardust printing, I rashly decided I would help by testing at least one printer from each of several major manufacturers. One friend with a Canon machine promptly left town for a month. My test site with an Epson machine had a family crisis, which precluded experiments. Then, I became ill.Actually you are helping though I know it is frustrating. It is certain that the HP printer and scanner files help with HP's. What I am not sure of is whether foomatic-db helps with anything.
That is interesting. It should not be a browser problem with Firefox. The simple check is to reboot with pfix=ram and do not install the firewall and see what happens.I get approximately the same behavior with Firefox. Now I'm wondering if the firewall is protecting me from contact with printers directly connected to localhost. Is there a simple, obvious way to disable the firewall temporarily, or is this a command line operation?
It is good to know at least that I am not alone. Sometimes when I am frustrated with it I think, is this the best we can do? But sometimes things can be harder with Puppy because we do not have the standard Linux setup that most software assumes.I can't tell you how many utter that name like a curse.
