Nice, but I won't host these on ibiblio nor can they be added to PPM, as they need to be split into EXE, DEV, DOC and NLS pets.
I'll attach what I can to this post and a link to the vlc nls pet, qt-482 is too big to upload to datafilehost, there is a 100mb file size limit and the qt-482_doc pet is over that.

The download link to vlc-2.0.3_NLS is:

I do not think it is issue per se. Pmount works just fine without mut. Barry Kauler has posted in his blog several times that ancient mut feature is not in Puppies anymore. I think this "issue" just confirms it.
Mut2 is also very old, and I don't know if it even works properly anymore. It was developed years ago by Forum member Jesse, who also developed our 'elspci' and 'puppyinputdetect'. We do have the sources for those last two and still use them.

I don't have Mut2 in any of my Puppy builds.

bigpup wrote:/tmp/.nouveau_modeset_0 file is present.

/etc/modeprobe.d/nouveau.conf
At present has this:

Code: Select all

install nouveau \
 [ -e /tmp/.nouveau_modeset_0 ] \
  && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install nouveau modeset=0 $CMDLINE_OPTS \
  || ( [ -e /tmp/.nouveau_nomodeset ] \
        && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install nouveau $CMDLINE_OPTS \
        || /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install nouveau modeset=1 $CMDLINE_OPTS )
What should I change in this code?
I am using the Vesa driver, after booting pfix=nox and using Xorgwizard to select Vesa. Did it make the changes you are talking about to this file?
That is my code that replaces the existing nouveau.conf file, to make it "smart". It is unrelated to Xorgwizard. It intercepts the loading of nouveau to choose the mode to set. But I think all of it is moot!

I have been experimenting on my PC that uses nouveau, adjusting the mode in both the boot parameter and in that config file -- but in "reverse". I verified that the auto_modeset package performs as expected, so can be trusted. My PC gets the black screen if the mode is 0 in the config file. If I leave the config file's mode at "1" but use boot parameter nouveau.modeset=0, all is well. I arrived at a conclusion about how this works.

Apparently, the boot parameter is in effect when nouveau is used initially, but the config-file modeset overrides that for the continuation of the use of nouveau. For my PC, I infer that the initial usage (whatever that actually is) works no matter how the mode is set, or not set at all. After that, it works only if the mode is "1".

I imagine that your PC is not so tolerant for the inital usage of nouveau, but once the mode is set to "1" by the (existing) config file, it works just fine. So, I think you are forced to use the nouveau.modeset parameter to get past the initial use of nouveau.

As I have no idea what is being done in the setup of the graphics drivers, this is about as far as I can go. Obviously, my auto_modeset package is useless, since it affects only what happens after the initial usage of nouveau. I hope this helps 01micko to focus on that initial phase to determine what it is that is affected by the boot argument, before the config file supercedes it.

Thank you, again, for reporting and working this issue.

gimp-2.8.2-1-precise.sfs is available.
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/precise/
Based on the gimp
how do you know if one doesn't follow the forum???

General and easier for all puppies:
the ability to search & install applications. Why not centralize search on applications' name, its version and finally possible sources & install mode.

A CSV file can do that; for instance:
GIMP;2.8.2;pet; i686;URL1;URL2;URL3; ....
GIMP;2.6.12;sfs; i386;URL1;URL2;URL3; ....

1. What is the full model name of your printer?

2. What driver are you using when you install the printer in CUPS? The built-in Gutenprint driver? An HPLIP package?

3. What is the exact nature of the problem? Does CUPS not detect the printer? Does it print garbage? From a CUPS test page? From an application?

4. Does it work when connected directly by USB?

Finding applications

#469 Post by mikeslr »

@ feelsub,

Devs, having spent long hours developing applications and discussing them on active Puplet threads, are too exhausted to note their existence on the "Additional Applications" sub-forum, http://murga-linux.com/puppy/index.php?f=63. Fortunately, the Puppy Forum is a do-acracy. A users, who finds something useful not cataloged on the Additional Applications Sub-Forum can, him-or-herself, write a short, descriptive post with a link to the post(s) containing the application's discussion and download link. If the user thinks about it. Or he or she can do what the rest of us do: complain about the lack of organization and fall back to a well-minded, http://www.wellminded.com/puppy/pupsearch.html, search to find something.

BarryK can you remove transmisson or include the last of the gtk2 series transmission-2.60-i686-percise.pet, This pet has libevent-2.0.20-stable-i686.pet included. this transmission-2.60-i686.pet dose not include libevent-2.0.20-stable-i686.pet.DEV,DOC and NLS for transmission and libevent are all in my repo http://www.mediafire.com/?mpv88jj3bp0m3.

the reason i ask is because i like to creates one big sfs with all the apps i want in it.sfs's that have the same app as the main sfs will not use the app from the custom sfs and will use the one in the main sfs, so it is like it is not present in my custom sfs.

You should NOT have installed your 5200 as a RAW printer. That's why you are getting garbage.

Under Make, select HP. Under Model, select Laserjet 5200.

I notice that you have the printer working in Slacko. Did you install it the same way? It may work there because this printer is Postscript-capable. But I don't know why Precise would behave differently.

In any case, RAW printing is intended for situations where the target printer is connected to another computer that will be responsible for formatting the print job. Your situation requires a driver or at least a PPD file.

I installed the HP5200n driver,but not selected it.
In Slacko,I install it the same way,both wary530 and racy530.
thanks, I will test it again.

Precise already has a Gutenprint driver for the 5200 built-in. Are you installing some other package?

Excellent.

I don't know. Like I said, this is not the standard way to use RAW.

If you want to set up your 5200n as an "official" HP Postscript printer, use the PET below. Delete your current printer and let CUPS discover it again.

As I understand it, you should use RAW in situations where another computer is responsible for formatting the print job to be compatible with the target printer. For example:

You are sending a print job from a Linux client to another Linux machine running a Samba server. The client will set up its printer as RAW because the server machine will do the formatting.
