DaveS,
I also responded to your post on my blog. Here is that response:
Actually, /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops is a symlink that I put in after discussion with rcrsn51.
Could you try two things:
1. delete that symlink. Then try printing.
2. replace the symlink with the actual file, that is, copy it from /usr/bin/pdftops. Then try printing again.
I think that the first one will fix it, but I am interested to know if number 2 also works.

Guys,
Regarding reports of slow video with Xorg 7.3, could you try this:
In the Puppy Package Manager, with "puppy-wary5" repo selected, type this into the search box:
"mesa"
That will find "mesa-6.5.2-w5c" -- install it.
You will have to restart X, then do speed tests again.

Is anyone else finding that using a savefile from an earlier version of Wary breaks Wary 5.2?

Bonjour à tous,
Live CD Wary 5.20.
lauching "remove_builtin" my pc crashes.
Only the Ctrl+Alt+Return then xwin allows me to return to desktop.
Cordialement

Managed to upgrade 5.1.4.1 to 5.2 but the following needed to be run manually from cli to fix breakage:
rm /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders >/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
This is now fully functional and fast

Tried both solutions. Neither worked. Deleting the symlink gives a file not found error, replacing the symlink with the lib gives the exact same error as before.

WOW!
That really got the gears running smooth on the Intel
laptop.
Went from 220fps to 4400fps .
Thanks
edit:
The 4400fps was with the spinning gear window minimized;
regular size window gives 660fps.

I'm using it now, and although it's still new on my machine it looks excellent (great themes too).
Thanks for all your hard work,
CP .

Well, I don't know what to suggest. Many earlier puppies, included early Wary's, did not have 'pdftops', yet printing worked.
I just did a simple test of pdftops, in /usr/share/examples:
# pdftops Acrobat.pdf out.ps
...and it worked.

G'day,
Two issues on my desktop system:
1) as installed, both Full & Frugal tried, the /tmp directory write permissions being set by default to "off" prevent Cups from letting my fujixerox colour laser print. Changing the permissions to "write" for Group and World lets me use the printer. Thanks to rcrsn51 for his help in sorting this out for me. So this is sort-of a "Solved" or "Soluble" bug.
2) I cannot get xorgwizard to run any radeon or ATI driver on my graphics card (reported as ATI Cedar Pro [Radeon HD 5450], oem=ATI ATOMBIOS product=Cedar 01.00) so I can best use my 1600x900 monitor.
Wary defaults to vesa and 1280x1080 which is poor quality graphics compared to virtually all other current Pups that have very usable radeon drivers, and/or I can install one of the ATI-catalyst pets. Trying a few (wrong-kernel) ATI-Catalyst pets wreck the Wary install.
Perhaps I need to wait for Racy?
Any helpful advice appreciated.
David S.

barry, got some error messages about no libgl, so I found the pet and installed it, ok now, fps rate has just about quadrupled.

I have re-downloaded both Wary and Racy twice, re-installed each several times, always with a new save file, and always the result is the same... unable to print from Gnumeric or Geany. Printing test page direct from CUPS interface is fine.

Thanks upnorth. That fixed it for me too.

Yesterday I set about installing Wary 5.2 to a USB stick as a full install using the Puppy Universal Installer.
The system installed and booted OK but recognised neither alsa sound nor the ETH0 interface.
Also would not execute an orderly shutdown or reboot from the menu. Power-off was not possible because the computer was locked into a continuous reboot loop.
I then reinstalled onto the stick in a similar fashion, but this time as a frugal install that uses a pup_save on the stick
Everything back to normal! - sound, ethernet as well as shutdown.
This seems to be some sortof legacy problem with installing Puppy Linux as a full installation. It seems to work sometimes and not others.
It can't be described as a show-stopper in any sense, but it would be nice if this got sorted out one of these days.

Installed printer direct via USB. Same problem. Could somebody else just try to print something simple from Geany please. Does it work?

Please explain what you mean by "usb stick full install".
Puppy doesn't allow "full" installs to usb media.

What I meant by a full install to USB stick is having the linux image initrd and the pup_*.sfs etc. all installed to the root partition '/' of the USB stick. In the same partition resides a /root folder, but there is no pup_save loop-back device.
Any persistent changes also get saved to this top-level partition.
I wasn't aware that this is not supported.
My brother in London seems to have managed to do such installs to USB - has done for some time.
Whether it is actually fully functional though is another story. I think he mentioned that he was using Puppy 525 in this way. My test was done using this latest Wary 5.2

Wary 5.2 frugal install on Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop (Brookdale graphics) using i810 driver. Working well.
PupCamera recognized a Canon PowerShot A610 immediately and permitted viewing of photos. A usb reader using the camera's card also allowed viewing of photos.
Wary 514 boots reliably, but the two beta versions of this wary occasionally booted to a black screen with a small off-white square ~ 2cm on a side slightly off-center (sorry, wasn't able to report in a timely fashion). I have not noticed this behavior in 5.2, but will let you know.
glxgears gives about 340 FPS.

The difference between a frugal and full (normal Linux)
install on Puppy usb:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=34263
I tried a usb install using the live cd with bootflash and
universal installer; both failed to find the iso.
Then used a previous Wary with the 5.2 iso file and it worked
fine.
