backi:

If you read through the files in the tread, you will see where rcrsn51 provided the 'FIX' for my hp 1050 All-in-One, if you install the files he suggests it should take care of your printer too!

Did Dpup: Squeezed Puppy 4.99.2 get abandoned?

It sounded so promising ...

I need a replacement for dpup 009 and Fluppy 013.

To have 499.2 run umplayer and get all that nice stuff from Youtube. go get stu90's new umplayer.sfs and replace the old umplayer.pet. Get the new one at:

http://www.smokey01.com/stu90/lucid.pup ... _5.0.8.sfs

Works great!

If you don't know how to install a .sfs go here to learn:

PS:
No one seems to be working on this puppy but it is still a fantastic program for what it does!

To have 499.2 run umplayer and get all that nice stuff from Youtube. go get stu90's new umplayer.sfs and replace the old umplayer.pet.

OK, let's be sure I understand the steps:

1. I have downloaded the new umplayer.sfs

2. Next I move it into the correct folder (I have used SFS's before)

3. Then I open 499.1 and add umplayer.sfs to the boot menu

4. When 499 reboots I will have 499.2 instead of 499.1

QUESTION: I recall that in some Puplets running a Pet that has been loaded will cause it to completely uninstall itself, but I have not observed that behavior in some recent Puplets. Is that a) necessary, b) the way to remove the old umplayer.pet -- or do you recommend a different method?

Thanks!

Try sfs load on the fly - that way you can load and use .sfs packages straight away with out rebooting.

Sounds dangerous for a guy who always finds a way to break things ...

I will give it a try ... on the other computer ...

A NEW feature for Abiword, ' AbiCollab.net ' Wow... what a nice program: This should make it much easier for dev's to work on a certain program without all the email's and PM's involved?? (Hope they make use of it) Looks like a little 'Cloud' has slipped into Abiword huh!

https://abicollab.net/

AbiWord allows you to collaborate with multiple people on one document at the same time. It is tightly integrated with the AbiCollab.net web service, which lets you store documents online, allows easy document sharing with your friends, and performs format conversions on the fly and guess what... It's All FREE and works nice with one of the latest versions of Abiword here in Squeeze 499 !!!!!

Having a tough time getting a Xscreensaver to install in 499.2

Tried:

Creating an 'ssconfig' script that 'gospel' recommended in another tread for Dpups and placing it in usr/sbin/

Quote:
#!/bin/bash
cd /
chmod 777 root
su nobody -c xscreensaver-demo
#exit
cd /
chmod 755 root

That only starts the tiny demo window (Screensaver Preferences where the various patterns run very well) when you click on the ssconfig script itself, it doesn't run if you click on Screensaver from the Desktop Menu . Then a small window pops up stating that the -

The XScreenSaver daemon doesn't seem to be running on display ":0.0". Launch it now?

When I click OK, another small window pops up and says-

Error: The xscreensaver daemon did not start up properly. Please check your $PATH and permissions.

I tried all the permissions, no dice... not sure about the $PATH thingy!

Can anyone take this further or make any suggestions?

'Thanks'

In the past, trying to install Google-Earth direct from the Debian repo has always given me problems in a Puppy so I tried an 'Already-Made.Pet' from the lucid repo at ibibilo and guess what, installed without problems and run the very first time without a hitch! Now, if you go back through this thread and install what I have advised in Squeeze-499-2, Especially the 2.26.39-3 Kernel it's possible that that's what makes this program run so well, at least it does it for me!

Go to:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... ges-lucid/

Download the .pet:
Google_Earth-6.0.3.2197-lucid525.pet

'Enjoy Google Earth'

>>>---Indian------>

PS: Possibly many of the lucid .pets there will work in Squeeze-499-2, if you have luck with any others, please post them here as it seem this version of Puppy once created by BK doesn't seem to interest any of the devs.... What a shame, it has so much potential!!!!! But if us users keep plugging away at it, we may just end up with the KING of Puppy's in time.

Thanks Barry for this great Pup I have been test driving it. I didn't think I'd like a woof based Pup but this is nice with some Debian packages added to build it.
