While trying to install the Printer, through CUPS menu, I am getting Internet Quickpet program. ( CUPS linked to Internet Browser quick pet program) How to solve this typical problem. Also I would like to know how to update the program and install quickpet (Internet Browser) through Proxy server. ( in my office, there is no direct INTERNET connection)

Pupluser,
the first thing I'd try is a "full" install, since you already have the partitions for it. BTW, your swap partition is way more than necessary. Good luck!

pupluser, be aware that the procedure to use extra sfs files in a full install isn't the same as in a frugal install.

Howdy All,
.PPS wont play for me either. I used Quickpet for JRE.
Went to the same site as BEEM to dl the USA .pet OO.
I select a pps from saved files. It comes up as usual.
Selecting 'slide show' or using F5, it seems to try to start
but 'hangs'. Can only exit by forcing close from task bar.
I havent installed 5.10, just running from live cd with an
ext3 save-area.

I often get .pps files sent to me full of pretty pictures so I thought I'd better check out this slideshow problem. Sure enough, OOTB I had the same problem with the simpress program hanging as soon as I hit "Slideshow." Go to Slide Show>Slide Show Settings in the menu, I changed two things: "type" from "default" to "window", and unchecked "change slides by clicking on background". I suspect the change in type is what fixed it but the slideshow worked. The changes are not persistent, though, but maybe there's a way to set it in "options" or "preferences." Good luck!

@ kevin bowers:
Hi kevin, thanx much for your reply. Your info has my .pps
displaying now, advancing frames ahead of 'auto' by using
mouse wheel.
1 problem remains. Sound doesnt play. This seems to be
a continuing 'malady' with puppy and others. Sound works
in Mint Linux.
Best regards,,jw

@Kevin Bowers, thank you for the tip, that works

@all
The tip of Kevin works, but the facility to run full screen is lost.
I suppose this is what is behind the default option.

After having changed the option and before running the slide show the pps can be saved and the new option is retained.

I had done a test in quirky 1.2 with the same sfs and there it oks with option default and in full screen.

So I conclude something is amiss in lucid 5.1 and hope it ill be looked upon as I prefer to run in full screen (and maybe others as well)

Wondering why or how to set locale so that programs like Rox and wxwidgets don't report unknown language error?

# rox

(process:16906): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.

What am I doing wrong or does everybody have this problem?

To replicate this error....
in terminal type Rox.

I'm almost thinking I should install the multi-lingual language support...

Is this possibly a Glibc problem?

Confused, and annoyed, specially since I'm already struggling with compiling wxPython (including wxwidgets).

Thanks

Ok...

Everyone having problems with .pps files in Open Office , please try using Icewm and report your results. I am reproducing the reported problems in Jwm but it works perfectly in Icewm. As I understand, it was ok in Lupu-507? Was that in Jwm or Icewm? Looking to me like a Jwm bug at this stage, will wait on reports before I come to this conclusion.

Cheers
