Slacko-6.0 alpha frugal install on ext4 partition.
save-to-direcory works fine.

Encountered same CUPS problem as Tahr pup.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=782576#782576
# /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
direct usb://EPSON/EP-704A "EPSON EP-704A" "EPSON EP-704A" "MFG:EPSON;CMD:ESCPL2,BDC,D4,D4PX,ESCPR2;MDL:EP-704A;CLS:PRINTER;DES:EPSON EP-704A;CID:EpsonRGB;FID:FXN,DPN,WFN,ETN,AFN,DAN;" ""

But the CUPS web interface does not show my USB printer on the list of the Local Prnters

With the same hardware, Slacko 5.7 and Precise Puppy 571JP is fine.
But the Slacko-6.0 alpha and Tahr Puppy 5.8.0.8 shows same problem.

/usr/sbin/mksquashfs in slacko-6.0 alpha is a link to mksquashfs3.
It is to be a link to mksquashfs4.

Billtoo. I think the problem is that flash is running with the wrong permissions. I think that flash can be installed on a per user basis so it would install to /spot/.mozilla/firefox/$YOUR_PROFILE/plugins/

If you can move it there, run

My GeForce GTX660ti shows odd with nouveau driver. The label of the pinboard on the desktop cannot see. (EDIT: "nouveau.modeset=0" boot option saved this.)

I go the xorgwizard and chose vesa. The xorgwizard require reboot PC. But the shutdownconfig is not invoked. Therefore, reboots without saving session.

@shinobar: From the Tahr discussion, here is my only suggestion to fix this.

1. Apply the 55-cups.rules patch.
2. Reboot the printer.
3. Confirm that the device node /dev/usb/lp0 has a full set of write permissions.
4. Install in CUPS with the URI: parallel:/dev/usb/lp0
5. Look for error messages.

Testing Slacko 5.9.1

I posted about the Advert Blocker during the RC phase of 5.7 and I know that really it needs to be addressed at the Woof CE level and/or maybe is not important so apologies if I am speaking out of turn by mentioning it again, but I did have a stab at adding some fixes and updates to it. (mvps still doesn't work and technobeta is still dead).

There seems to be some debate over whether 0.0.0.0 is better than 127.0.0.1 and if so then it will need amending for that.

Also, do we need all those grub4dos menu entries?

@Mick: Some updated stuff you may want to consider...

I dropped you this one via PM a couple of months ago, but perhaps you missed it; updated jwmconfig, with two fixes:
- in 'keyboard' script, 'Edit' and 'Delete' buttons might be disabled (happens in ToOpPy, based on Precise-5.4.3 - Argolance spotted it), unless any item in the <tree> is selected and app's window unfocused and focused back again.
- horizontal distribution of radiobuttons ("Snap mode" frame) in "window" script has been corrected.

/usr/sbin/run-pureftpd: tiny, tiny fix for a bug in gettext that prevents final window with some useful info from being displayed

Hugely reworked Kirk's pcurlftp_file_sharing app.
Details: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=768235#768235
Recently, I also added lazy unmount (fusermount -z -u ...), so if a user is in the middle of copying from/to a share and close ROX-Filer's window, we can be sure that the share will be unmounted right after copying finished.

Oh, there's still that broken symlink in devx.sfs (I wonder how it got there?? ):

RE: Firefox as spot + Flash = crash

Aaa, it's an old problem that resurfaced again:

Works fine with corrected permissions.
