Hi musher0! Guess I'm using gzip compression as I just hit enter after the questions. The lib file I'm compressing is surely not compressed ahead of time, that's for sure. That must have slipped out of my mind when I asked the question about the pet file size afterwards. Greetings, Feodor edit: Yes,...

Hi dancytron,

my pet file includes a ppd file(36K), one filter file(89K) and a huge single lib file(2.539K). In total 2664K compared to a 968K pet file.

The tool I used was `dir2pet` from Barry's EasyOS to be used for `amd64`.

Hi all, I have a question about pet files. I have created a pet file for my Samsung printer. The biggest file inside the pet is around 2400 K. The total size of the pet itself is 1000 K. Yes, the pet file works! Is the difference in between just compression? If so I'm really surprised in a positive ...

@BarryK @Caneri Hi Eric, I did some testing with LibreOffice and my system froze too, as soon as I opened Calc and Writer within the same window/panel. Using all three of the panels/windows EasyOS offers like 1 used for Seamonkey 2 used for the LibreOffice Writer 3 used for the LibreOffice Calc cure...

Hi Caneri,

are you using a nvidia card with the failing LibreOffice?

Older GS/GT 9xxx series cards don't like 'buster', but work
great with 'pyro'.

Newer nvidia cards with GeForce GT 710B work well with LibreOffice Writer.

Found this bug while working with EasyOS 2.3:

'/usr/bin/mtpaintsnapshot.sh' is missing.

I copied the missing script from EasyOS 2.2.11 to make it work.
On the copy below just take the .gz ending of and set the 'Exec'-Flags.

Great job Barry!

I have so a lot of usb sticks on my desktop with labels like:
1.0.14 , 1.0.8 , 0.9.14 , 1.2.8 , 2.19.1 , 0.9.10 2.2 , 2.1.11 , 2.2.5 time to update those to EasyOS 2.3 now.

Barry, I would call this the greatest 'one man show' I know that you are doing with EasyOS.

Hi Flash!

Guess you'll have no luck with your scanner.

http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.h ... ENQ--ACER-

Technical data:

36-bit
600dpi x 1200dpi
It uses a 600dpi ccd system

With win-98 it was Twain-driver compatible.

Sometimes ARM Linux images come with 7-zip compression. - "No, not ours."

As I was looking for '7-zip' forum member 'mikeslr' had a solution for my problem. You can look it up over there:

Hi mikeslr, Hi musher0!

Great, it works.
Thank's a lot!

I needed 7-zip for my arm project.
Miko's ARM Buster 8.2.0 was short of it - now it's not.

I have added 'p7zip-full_16.02+dfsg-6_armhf.deb' from your link to it as well as 'packit' and 'uextract'.

Greetings to you,
Feodor

Hi All!

Do we have a puppy version with '7-zip' support?

Prior ordering my pi 4 I watched some/many yt videos comparing different ARM boards. I was thinking about using one of them as a desktop replacement. You guessed it by now a 'VIM3' would be the one to pick. But how many people would come up with further software for this kind of hardware? I decided ...

I'm using an old usb adapter to bring up sound. It works great. It's a LogiLink UA0053. The only problem is that it always comes up muted after the reboot. I tried those steps to bring up sound on usb - right click on the tray icon 'speaker muted' and select 'Full Window' - click on 'File' in the 'R...

Hi All!

If you buy a raspberry pi4 make sure you'll get a Rev. 1.2

Big thanks to our friends in the Netherlands!

ibiblio.org is down to 64 kbits/s

https://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/eas ... er/2.2.11/

They offer 1189 Mbits/s - md5 looks good!

Edit: Thu 20 Feb 2020, 19:04 All times are UTC - 4
ibiblio.org looks good now.

My BIOS boxes with HDMI nvidia and intel look good.
Booting from usb-2.0 into usb-3.0 looks good too.
Used easydd to write the image onto the usb flash stick.
