rcrsn51,
Thank you, that worked! I note that the filter package is newer than the one in PPM, which must be a key to this working. You are a master of CUPS, which I wish wasn't necessary for Linux. A print system that "just worked" would be a godsend for Linux. The 2600n has always been somewhat problematic, but I will say that the Ubuntu 10.10 handled it well, although I don't like much else of it. Too big and fat.

Jerimiah,
Can you put those pets in the PPM for Fluppy 007? They would greatly simplify things.

Thanks again,

Jon



We can have our own PPM, but between supporting and developing both Puppeee and Fluppy, I don't have time to maintain it. I need dedicated help by someone familiar with packaging to make it happen.

I actually am new to this thread of Fluppy so if this has been noted before I did not know.
But I just did my first boot of Fluppy on a Compaq Presario PC with 3 gig ram, AMD Athalon X2 4800 Dual-Core Processor, and Nvidia GeForce 6150 SE Graphics.
My eth0 was automatically set up and using xorg for my video card worked too.
But the thing that amazed me was that when I ran Hardinfo and selected sensors, it showed my PC temperatures as running almost 10c cooler than with other Puppy versions.

This might be off thread, but with that kind of difference, I think that feature should be part of Puppy 6, currently under development.


I'm hoping this will mature enough to get Barry to put it into woof - but a lot of it is still at the duct tape and bailing wire stage. Wink Making it work on diverse hardware is a challenge.

Jemimah,
I understand. I wish I had the skills to help.

BTW, I just realized that I was reading and spelling your name wrong. My apologies!

I've got Fluppy 006 working pretty much the way I want it now. Printing works, suspend and lid switch works, it looks good, fast and responsive. The last thing that is bugging me is font rendering in Chrome. Take a look at this page in Chrome:

http://deals.woot.com/sellout

The fonts are all messed up, especially on the right hand side.
Is there a font package I can install, or setting I can change to fix this? I did some searching, but didn't find anything really relevant.

Thanks for all your help.

Jon

Do you know what changed in CUPS between Fluppy 005 and 006?

I tracked down a copy of 005 to see, and I don't think that anything changed. The various printing problems that were in 005 have continued into 006. You may have installed a patch in 005 that fixed something and have forgotten.

There are two issues:

1. The missing Ghostscript filters.

2. The foomatic-rip filter problem. This one has always been an issue when Puppy 4.3.1 is upgraded to CUPS 1.3.11, and there are a couple of fixes. The easiest one is to install the new binary version (as opposed to the current Perl scripts) as was recommended above. People using Gutenprint drivers won't see this problem, because Gutenprint doesn't depend on the foomatic-rip filter.

BTW, some acknowledgment from the lead developer about this situation would be appreciated. Wink

Thanks. I forgot that you have your own forum also.

BTW, the script for extra fonts has a mistake in it. An stray " is in it. I posted a correction on your forum.

The fixes you describe fixed the display issue. Can you suggest some default fonts and sizes to use in Chrome that display well on small screens?

Thanks again.

Jon

I actually think the included deja vu fonts look pretty nice.

I'm been meaning to remove the hard coded minimum font size (or set it much smaller), but I keep forgetting.

gnash in Seamonkey fails to render the video here:
http://www.syfy.com/rewind/warehouse13/1250146/

I get only a blank box. Anyone else seeing the same?

It works OK with Lucid 5.1.1, Seamonkey, and Flash.

Jemimah,
Any chance you can fix the Fluppy 006 iso and repost it? I've got an old laptop I'd like to try with it, and it can't boot from USB, only CD.

Thanks.

Jon

The problem is more subtle but exists in Seamonkey 2.0.8 as well.
