No. Remastering is just a way of removing the 'white space' left by removing original built in programs, plus combing the changes you have made. The advantage of remastering is that once done, you can start with a fresh 'save' file (compulsory), and then if you bork it, just delete your save file and you are back to your clean re-master again. Its a great way to perform radical changes, because you can always go back.

Thanks!

I had printed the instructions the other day and forgot to print the link to the PET or to download the PET.

Sigh ... need more sleep ... or more coffee! :-)

Wireless printing using Apple Airport Express works with Hp1020.

I used rcrsn51 great advice. Still valid :) http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 662#263662

Minolta magicolor 2200/2300/2430 DL,HP LaserJet 1018/1020/1022/P35,
HP LaserJet Pro P1102/P1102w/P1566/P1606dn > all these printers needs foo2xxx printer driver package because of firmware hotplugin.

foo2xxx_r220909-0.0 (zjs/xqx/slx/oak/hp/xxx) package (11MB): http://www.datafilehost.com/download-bf13c069.html

I havent tested latest hpijs package if it handles hotplugin though, I dont wanna play with CUPS. If it aint broken dont even think about fixing it :)
But above foo2xxx works fine with Lupu.

minor annoyance with set timezone.

#230 Post by mdisaster2 »

When I set my timezone to GMT+1 and hover on the clock applet in the tray the tip says GMT-1. If I choose GMT-1 the tip says GMT+1.Not sure whether this is only a cosmetic issue or if it can actually cause wrong time display, for example if the hw clock is set to UTC.

Workaround: instead of GMT+1 I choose Europe/Rome, which seems to be ok.

Patriot's foo2xxx package is still the best choice for these printers.

If I'm remembering correctly, POSIX compliant systems (like Linux) represent time offsets in reverse (-5GMT is +5POSIX). Barry labeled them the way we expect to see them (offset from GMT), but the clock likely shows the POSIX offset. Nothing was actually wrong, just highly confusing. It's probably best to choose the timezone name, as you have done, to avoid that confusion.

Startmount doesn't work now

#233 Post by weffy »

Startmount isn't working for me in 510. Tried uninstalling and reinstall. It shows drives being probed, but no gui opens up after that.

Yes, that's the case. I tried with other offsets and the sign of the offset is always reversed on the clock tip, so it's definitely consistent. Sorry for the wrong report and thx for the explanation Image

I am using that package somewhat successfully with a HP Laserjet P1006.

I say somewhat because it handles text files but it won't print PDF files, it causes a blank page to come out and then generates an error in the Print Jobs area.

Hmmmm... I can't reproduce that, works fine for me.

How many drives do you have and what filesystems?

Best way to let me know is by running probepart in a terminal.

mdisaster2,

If you set your timezone as you have done it will follow the Summer Time settings and should alter your clock whenever there's a change.

If you set UTC it will not follow this.

I've always found it more convenient to be on correct 'local' time. :D

In fact when I wrote Psync I insisted on it for the servers to sync correctly and set your time correctly, else they will set your clock to the region you select.

01micko,

Here's results of probepart.

/dev/sda1|ext3|10233342
/dev/sda3|ext2|61432560
/dev/sda4|none|2
/dev/sda5|ext2|10233342
/dev/sda6|ext3|60018776
/dev/sda7|ext2|10281536

I probably have created the last one since installing my last OS, lupu-500.

Thanks, Jeff

Thanks weffy,

Did you always have that tiny partition with 'none'? I gather not formatted?

That could potentially bork Startmount, I'll look further into the issue when you respond.

Perhaps partition extended ?

Maybe look at what does fdisk -l ( start and end of blocks and cylinders...) ?

I have the same :

# probepart
/dev/sda1|ext3|26282276
/dev/sda2|swap|2972024
/dev/sda3|none|2
/dev/sda5|ext3|42813162

.............

# fdisk -l

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 1636 13141138+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 1637 1821 1486012+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 1822 24792 184514527 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 1822 4486 21406581 83 Linux




my tiny...

Ok, but I'm running live in a fresh luci-218 dev test.

Will make a save and see if Startmount will work,

__________________________________________

Have tested in 5.1 and it works just fine, I have the small partition reported too, not the problem

Tried in the Luci dev version and it works fine too.

I wonder, :? , just try this..

Code: Select all

/usr/local/Startmount/Startmount
. Must be a gtkdialog error.

Cheers

#242 Post by 8-bit »

When I start Lucid 5.1, right after loading drivers to access drives is displayed, I see a file system check of the partition I am booting from as well as a file system check of the pupsave file.
I do not have e2fsck as an option on my kernel line in menu.lst and it seems that Lucid 510 is the only version I have installed frugally that does this check on starting.
So is it built in or can it be disabled?

Also, am I the only one seeing this file system check on booting to Lucid 510?

netsurf is ending suddenly

#243 Post by norman »

Code: Select all

Aug 23 09:53:05 puppypc user.info kernel: netsurf[10308]: segfault at cc ip 080d1512 sp bfdc6060 error 4 in netsurf[8048000+10a000]

It's Puppy lucid 5.10 (uname -r says '2.6.33.2'), NetSurf 2.5 (18th April 2010), Toshiba Satellite 4090XCDT, 192 MB RAM.

And: I can't mark s.th. by using netsurf. so i can't copy&paste with netsurf.

With the Arora-Browser I don't have that problem.

Available RAM become low

#244 Post by inoxidabile »

Dear All,
I'm a not skilled Puppy user … I apologize for the question, maybe due to my low know-how and please pardon if this is not the right place for the following topic.

I use Puppy since its 3.01 version and thanks to it, I'm still able to work on an old pc (notebook Dell Latitude - 650MHz - 512M RAM).

After some test with the Lucid 5.1 / Live CD , I decided to install it on HD as fresh install (delete all the previous things) as frugal type.

The problem is this: in a simple Live mode I had (of course) a lot of available RAM, but after the install it becomes about 430M.
Moreover, with just few more packet added (Firefox, Dia, AisleRiot game) and no other activities, it dropped down to 343M.

The version I used before was ChoicePup, with a lot of sfs loaded (Koffice, Opera, FoxitReader and so on), but the amout of available RAM was about 385M.

Could anyone kindly tell me some more info about? Maybe there are some tricks to do or some particular actions.

Oh, an other thing: the chrome browser doesn't run at all, it's not a problem for me because I use Firefox and surely it's yet known, but...

Thanks in advance to everyone for any suggestion (and patience!)

Best Regards,

Inoxidabile

starmount and drives

#245 Post by Tasgarth »

hi,
startmount and 'free space on drives' :
It's strange, they show non-identical numbers (luci 217)
