Tiny detail: the screenshot manager only saves as png. In most cases a (smaller) jpg is good enough.

Dromeno .... Thanks for the screen shot .... that explains a lot as none of the JWM or ICEwm (except config.) items show anywhere in my control panel. I upgraded my save-file from 019 thru 022 and this morning I have ICEwm menus showing up in both ICEwm and XFCE4. Bad save-file I guess.

Time to start fresh ... but hope to wait for 023.

Thanks again to both Jemimah (for Saluki work + screenshot) and Dromeno (for the screenshot). KJ

Just a reminder if possible - I would love to see a "shutdown without modifying savefile" option added if possible. Or is there already some function to enable this that I have missed?

Hello all, I have not used Puppy much over the past few years, but decided to see what has been going on in the community lately. I must say that I am glad that I did. I am really liking the Saluki project. I was able to get most things working pretty quickly.
I am however, a little stumped on getting my Brother MFC-J410W to work over the network. I have this working in both on WinSuck and it is also working on my wifes Mac OSX 10.6.
So far I installed the sfs, but the printer was not supported with a driver, so I downloaded the LPR driver and the CUPS wrapper (RPM format) from the Brother website. By simply double clicking the RPMs they installed and I can see the associated PPD file in the /opt/brother/Printers/mfcwj410w/cupswrapper directory. Then I tried adding the printer using the CUPS web interface and it was able to detect the printer and provided the correct IP address using SNMP. I continued the install by selecting the printer and the PPD file that was installed from the RPM. CUPS reported that the printer installed successfully.
When I tried to send a test page nothing happens and I don't even see the print job on the "Jobs" tab of the CUPS web interface. It basically looks like it printed only the printer does nothing.
I apologize if this is beyond the scope of the Saluki thread, If an admin would like to propose a more appropriate thread or move this post, I would be just as happy with that.

Kerry Blue,

Did you try the answers you were given by jrb in the Slacko bug thread to Saluki?
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=628999#628999

Remember - his first answer was for Lucid and his second for Slacko. Not sure which, if any, is applicable to Saluki. Maybe Saluki will need xorg.conf to be stuck in another folder.

JRB solution was:
Lucid 5.2.8
copy xorg.conf to /etc/X11/Xsession.d folder

Slacko
copy xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

Saluki
???

Maybe Jemimah could say if I could try something like this and what would be the best option to try?
