I looked in my puppy_slacko_4.99.5.sfs and couldn't see it.

If you installed the Canon scanner driver, you would have given it to yourself.

Since Slacko now has libusb-1.0, the better package to add is libusb-0.1-compat.
praytell a version? link?
Here. My Canon pixma scanner backend is built this way - with libusb-compat-0.1 and libusb-1.0. However they claim that you can stick with the original libusb-0.1.

ah I see what happened, Barry's package took out the older usb lib, I wonder if wary/racy has usb problems? woof issue

Code: Select all

yes|libtiff|libtiff|exe,dev,doc,nls
yes|libtool|libtool|exe>dev,dev,doc,nls
yes|libusb||exe,dev,doc,nls
yes|libusb1|libusb|exe,dev,doc,nls
yes|libvorbis|libvorbis|exe,dev,doc,nls
no|libvpx|libvpx|exe,dev,doc,nls
That is supposed to get the different versions.. but Barry's overwrote the slackware version

I just received a PM from a user suggesting that Puppy should include drivers for EVERY printer.

Erm, wouldn't that double the size of the iso.. and then some? I don't think an OS that exists can ship with EVERY driver

Maybe Ubuntu has spoiled people.

In any case, I run Quirky constantly with the libusb-compat-0.1 and libusb-1.0 combo from the source above and have never had a problem with USB devices. But the only devices that ever seem to need it are the Canon scanners. So I don't know why BK is now making the change.

Yes, that's the same version the Canon scanner backend has. And it saves you 8K by using it instead of the full libusb-0.1!

Racy has the same problem. It does not recognize my HP c4280 Photosmart.

Jim, try that libusb-compat I compiled, might work in racy, I don't think it linked to anything externally

EDIT: I'm telling fibs! It links to libusb-1.0 but that is a wary version since the slackware version got clobbered! (hehe.. only this once :wink: )

Makes sense. However, your Lighthouse 64 problem is an entirely different issue. I don't know what it would be.I have posted the newer hplip_print_fd64-3.11.7.pet here. But I can't see how it would make any difference.

I installed your libusb-0.1.12-w5.pet which allowed me to install the printer in Racy, however, it would not print, sorta like the problem rcrsn51 mentioned that I had in LHP. Although installed, it will not print. I also installed your libusb-compat, it still will not print in Racy which I'm posting from now. I'll report this on the Racy thread.

Everyone knows that we don't have proper moderation on this Board, but jim3630 - you need to truncate your script on page 2 according to the rules so that we can not only read your contribution, but everyone elses' on that page.

Don't know the cause but attempts to d/l B3 yesterday were showing over 8hrs? Just got it this morning in 4mins!

Good man, Jim lad!

This massively good distro would be immensely improved if it adopted the browser choice at the outset like Luci, instead of foisting Hobson's Choice upon unsuspecting punters! Might also save some space?
OR: make netsurf/dillo the default gateway to mainline browsers?

The board lies: it claims one editorial change: there were two.

Don't get too attached to B3, B4 is cooking, with all those libs mostly going to slackware versions. Probably should have been from the start.

Sage, I do agree about having browser choice, just there is I believe also a necessity to have a decent browser on the iso. I am trying to stick to the woof formula too, so when I come up with the answer (which is an sfs auto loaded on the iso, just the implementation part of the answer is lacking), then it will be done! Just too late for this version.

Thanks for your consideration, mick. I suppose it all comes down to the definition and use of 'decent'. Perhaps one could argue 'adequate'? Not sure how the guys over at Luci came to their strategy or how they implemented it, but it's nice to see choice pop up at an early stage. Politicians like to talk about choice, but they usually mean their choice! No need to parrot their behaviour?!

Guess my behavior is not typical then... download the iso, remove included browser, boot up, symlink Seamonkey (latest beta), Firefox (latest beta),symlink Opera, and sfs Chromium. :)
Maybe there is something wrong with me...............
