Fix for slow drop-down lists! (at least on my laptop).

See my blog post:
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02594

You might have to reboot after installing the PET, for the libraries to reload.

Added it.. fixed

Racy automatically loads "rt2800usb" for my Asus USB-N13
and shows "wlan0". However, when I "Scan", the exact
same error msg appears as DaveS captured.

I am new to wireless. My Verizon Casio Commando only tethers using 3G Hotspot.

Thank you,
Eddie Maddox

Frugal installation on an ext4 partition.

CUPS will not set up printing for usb printers. I've installed hplip_scan-3.11.7 and hplip_print-3.11.7 pets. Xsane does work.

CUPS will not set up printing for usb printers.

I have an USB printer epson stylus sx-415 and printing with this had never been a real problem with official builds of Puppy with CUPS-1.1.23 , 1.3.11 and 1.4.x .

Just tested the snipplets below , printing some parts of rc.sysinit from geany previewer : no problem here ,

#It is new to me , that the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf would be written new each boot ... :

SKIPLISTVARS="`echo "$SKIPLIST" | tr '\-' '_' | tr ' ' '\n' | sed -e 's/^/blacklist /' | grep -v ' $'`"
BLACKLISTVARS=`cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf 2>/dev/null | grep -v "$SKIPLISTVARS"
echo "$SKIPLISTVARS" > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
echo "$BLACKLISTVARS" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

#AND for bootmanager perhaps :

for i in $SKIPLIST ; do
j="${i//-/\\-}"
if [ -z "`grep "^blacklist $j" /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf`" ] ; then
echo "blacklist $i" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
fi
done

[ this i still have to observe ..]

Please provide details. I just used Racy 5.2.1.90 and hplip_print-3.11.7 to install an HP Deskjet F4280. It worked correctly.

A Photosmart C4680 also installed correctly.

Remember that if you are switching an HP unit between scanning and printing, it requires a restart.

You can see this glitch in action. When the unit is ready to print, go to the folder /dev/usb and you will see the device node lp0.

Start a scan operation. The device node disappears. You need to reboot the unit to get it back.

HP is the only make I have seen that does this. I don't know if it is their fault or something in the Puppy USB detection.

looks like something does a " rmmod usblp || modprobe -r lp " before scanning ... the sane backend perhaps ?
Maybe a manually " modprobe usblp " would recreate the /dev/usb/lp0 node ?

Thanks very much!

It's a Puppy feature. Doesn't happen with F15/16, Mint, etc. I only use HP printers.

It may actually be a CUPS feature. Some distros build CUPS so it uses libusb instead of /dev/usb/lp0 to connect to a USB printer. But when you build CUPS that way, you lose certain legacy capabilities.

please add -zoom in front of every place that -really-quiet appears

Code:
nohup gmplayer -really-quiet $MYVIDOUT "$@" &


change to:
Code:
nohup gmplayer -zoom -really-quiet $MYVIDOUT "$@" &


so that full screens will scale.
