CUPS in Quirky 1.1
I have tried to install printer through CUPS, I am getting following message.
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://localhost:631/
The following error was encountered:
* Connection to 127.0.0.1 Failed
The system returned:
(111) Connection refused
The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.
How to install the printer in Quirky 1.1 ?.
Congratulates !
Please note that the wall paper of Quirky 1.1 is very good and IMAP in Sea monkey 2.0.4 is working fine. No problem in accessing LADP . In SM 1.8, this is not possible. SM2.0.4 mail is accessing my Office IMAP very nicely. So please make SM 2.0.4 is permanent browser cum mail client.
your attention is requested in Universal Installer because, in Quirky installation, other previous versions of Quirky Installation as Puppy. It is not distinguishing between Quirky & Puppy version. All of the installation as Puppy. Wrong installation ( overwrite) is happening due to this. Please correct. it. Also note that many places Puppy is mentioned in place of Quirky OS. I agree, both are cousins. You may also note that Google chrome is working very nicely. !! Once again I congratulate Shri. Barry for providing a wonderful OS.
Please provide work around for my printer setup.

So downgrading the XServer to 1.7.1 improved the experience for users with ATI (Radeon) cards too. That's nice to seebroomdodger wrote:""-----=-------=-------=-------=

And why would you want to use 16-bit color depth anyway?

CUPS in Quirky 1.1
Open a terminal and type:
Code:
/etc/init.d/cups status
Is the CUPS scheduler running?
What browser are you using to open the CUPS web interface?
Dear Sir
I have both SeaMonkey and Google chrome. While launching CUPS, the SM is starting. As per your advise, I have typed commands, and I am getting "scheduler is running".
What next Sir

From Barry's blog:
I suggest that the MOVE and REMOVE options of the JWM panel are replaced by redirecting the EDIT option to /usr/local/bin/defaulttexteditor. Try the attached pet. to see if you like the idea.

After a minor cleanup of the /usr/local/jwmconfig2/panel-buttons file, mainly consisting of replacing constructs of type begin=`echo "(("$low" + 1))" | bc -l` by begin=`expr $low + 1` things seem to be in order again.Posted on 17 May 2010, 2:04 by broomdodger
JWM configuration bug

Menu
> Desktop JWM configuration
> Application launch buttons in tray
> Edit: Edit your existing Panel Buttons
- does not select buttons
- will not quit
- even selecting "kill" in the dock will not end
similarly with:
> Remove: Remove a panel button
- does not select buttons
- will not quit
- even selecting "kill" in the dock will not end

A bit quirky...
(Solved) I found a freememapplet reference in /root/Startup. Said good-bye to it.

I cannot reproduce this error. Are you running a firewall? Maybe Chrome has done something.rameshiyer wrote:Connection to 127.0.0.1 Failed
Boot off the Live CD using the boot code "puppy pfix=ram" and see what happens.
Booting with pfix=ram is useful if you already have a .2fs file on the hard disk and you don't want to use/update/harm it.Minnesota wrote: Isn't the pfix=ram boot parameter redundant? Or have I missed something all this time?
For example, you or your friend uses puppy 4.2 on a daily base. You/he saved a carefully configured set of applications in a pupsave.2fs file. Then you want to show him puppy 4.3 using a live CD without pfix=ram. This can accidentally overwrite this file.
If you are sure there is no such file, on the hard disk, you don't need to boot with pfix=ram.
The cd searches for existing save files and boots one unless pfix=ramMinnesota wrote:Technical question: Bit of confusion.Boot off the Live CD using the boot code "puppy pfix=ram" and see what happens.
My understanding is if you boot from CD, default is automatically puppy pfix=ram?
So isn't the boot parameter redundant? Or have I missed something all this time?
is used.
With full install or no save files, it's not necessary.

both open Partview
In the dock on the left there is "Free space in drives" icon and on the right is the "freememapplet" icon.
Clicking on either does the same thing, opens Partview free space in drive.
I have seen xfce4-taskmanager in Ubuntu, can this be added and linked to the freememapplet icon?
Or something else to give more functionality?

Did you see Firefox aleady installed? I did not and installed it from a pet....but oddly, it does not appear in the package manager.

- BarryK, how about implementing a new feature in Quirky - 'puppy pfix=temp' ?
When this 'cheatcode' is enabled, Quirky searches for an existing Quirky savefile on the hard drive, and if it finds one,it loads the savefile COMPLETELY in RAM as well and then unmounts the drive. Then Quirky continues to work in a similar fashion as if started with 'pfix=ram'.
This mode would be great for live testing/troubleshooting and for high-security browsing. With this mode there would no longer be a need to burn a separate machine-specific Quirky remaster for live use. Now we can have all our network, firewall, browser settings etc. stored in a savefile and still use Quirky as a *true* live CD.
- Another feature I would also like to see in Quirky is an additional option in Pmount to mount drives as read-only. This is really important when you want to access files in drives/partitions without touching/altering them. Good for rescuing data from failing hard drives, accessing files from 'flaky' DVD-RAM, DVD-RW and USB Flash drives.

Hi Barry,
Another recommendation for quirky1.2,
The xterm script file as used in the puppy4 series is gone from /usr/X11R7/bin/ replaced by a symlink in /usr/bin/ to /usr/bin/urxvt. This means the "xterm -hold -e" function no longer works.
I copied it from puppy431 into /usr/bin/ and my script files work again. Maybe you could put it into quirky1.2?
Thanks, J
