Hi Disciple,

Thanks for the suggestion. I had a go at the fc-cache command and read up on it and tried a few other things but still no luck.

I will probably use Open Office instead as it can print ok with the MS TTF fonts installed. Its a pity as SoftMaker Office is quite good.

Cheers,
Mark

Hello again, I have been toying around trying to get my printer to work with Softmaker. What I have found is that after installing the program it will print OK, but if I then import some new fonts (MS ttf) into /user/share/fonts/ttf it will then not print. I was wondering if anyone knew why this was...

Hi Disciple,

Thanks for the response. I tried your suggestion but unfortunately it didn't work. It works for CUPS-PDF, but when I try it on my Kyocera LM-250- all that happens is the printer will start up and make a noise- but wont actually spit anything out.

Do you have anymore suggestions?

Hello, I was wondering if someone could please help me out? I am using Puppy 4.31 with Softmaker Office (2006 for Linux) and am unable to print. I have correctly installed my printer (Kyocera LM-250) with the CUPS manager, and am able to print with Abiword- but when I go to print with Textmaker / Pl...

Hello again, I just tried to run Open Office using the SFS file- thinking my constant need to register everytime I opened an OO application may have been due to the fact that I was running it as a PET. But it keeps on asking me to register each time I open a app. Has anyone else experienced this pro...

ttuuxxx,

thanks for the 'zlibsCups.pet'- my epdfview works now

Hello, I was wondering if someone could please help me out. I have a FRUGAL install of Puppy 4.12 Barebones (new kernel) on my HDD and have the "openoffice_cutdown3-2.2.0" installed as a pet. Everytime I open one of the components ie writer or calc it goes through the reigistration procedu...

Thanks for this Aragon- I've been looking for a good music player that includes FLAC support and this works like a dream!

Hello, I can confirm Solxyz suggestion that if you have a Realtek ALC268 you need to quote the model number as "acer". I now have sound!

Thanks

Hi guys, Thanks for the tutorial Burn_IT. I was able to get Virtualbox up and running on a frugal install- well done! I was just wondering if anyone had been able to get it working on a full install? I have tried mounting the SFS files (which look to have mounted correctly- but they don't seem to be...

hi there jbrooks, the method you are using (ie placing the SFS file in the /mnt/home directory) is for the "frugal install" as you have done a "full install" (same as myself), you have to mount the SFS file, then copy its contents across to a suggested /mnt directory, and then un...

Good on you Burn_IT!

Yeah, if you could please give us a line by line explanation for us newbees that would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I installed Vuppy after I had 4.2 installed. Lucky enough I had a bit of room on my HDD, then created another partition and installed Vuppy (also had to update my grub). So when I boot the machine I now have an option to run one or another. I'd prefer it if I could get everything to run under the on...

Hi Shinzon, I had the same dilemma with respect to what to do about Virtualbox. In the end I had to install two versions of Puppy. If I want to use Virtualbox I boot up Vuppy. Although Vuppy doesn't support my sound card- so I also have installed Puppy 4.1.2 which I use if I want sound. I can execut...

Hi Shinzon, What version of puppy are you using? I have been able to install the "virtualbox-1.6.6_k2.6.21.7.pet" from the link you listed above on puppy version "puppy-4.00-k2.6.21.7-seamonkey.iso". As you suggest you have to also install SDL and QT to get it to get it going. I ...

Hello, I am a newb and am trying to get a Puppy 4x (pref. 4.1.2) version working with both sound and virtualbox. I have come across Vuppy which is fantastic, although I can't seem to get the sound working for it. My sound works on Puppy 4.1x with no problem. I also notice that I can't get sound to w...

Hello, I was wondering if you'd had any luck with installing Virtualbox with Puppy 4.12 (retro k2.6.21.7)? I am a new user of Puppy and have been trying to install the 3 pets found in http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=206671&search_id=352297069#206671 but even though Puppy 4.12 is...
