[Edit] What is it with Opera and printing? I bring up my newspaper, ask to print Page 1 and get Pages 1-12.

I do it in Firefox and get exactly the page I asked for.

Bummer!

I am going to try and get this fixed. Using opera allows flashplayer and the iso is still 2 meg smaller than the previous beta.

I had to do some gymnastics to get .pet mimetypes to work ootb in opera too. Last I looked Puppy was a top 10 distro, but Opera only supports deb, rpm and tgz/txz.

I will contact the Opera devs and see how far I can get.

For what it's worth. immediately after completing above post , Rox froze up and wouldn't respond..... upon killing the process I lost the entire desktop (wallpaper,icons and drive icons)........ restarting X brought things back to normal though.

On to more testing. :)

Installed Firefox from the Slackware repo. No menu entry.
Desktup file is in /usr/share/applications but "fixmenus" doesn't work. Good news though, Firefox 15.0.1 appears to work fine....... just put an icon on the desktop.

James, can you post the contents of Firefox.desktop please? Should be able to work around that one. EDIT: nevermind I d'loaded it

Turns out to be a woof bug. (PPM). The category (stock) is Network, PPM replaces that with X-Internet-browser :? . Why on earth it doesn't just replace it with WebBrowser is beyond me, Seamonkey will be the same. One thing can be said about Slackware, consistent!

Slacko - beta [5.4]

#211 Post by Billtoo »

I installed kdegames with ppm, it was missing one lib which I found and added but there are no menu entries.I ran fixmenus and restarted x but still no menu entries.
Also tried compiling and get an error:

# ./configure --prefix=/usr
./configure: line 727: strings: command not found
./configure: line 729: strings: command not found
endian test failed
#

I'm starting the kde games using gexec or clicking on the app in usr/bin

I just replaced /usr/sbin/fixmenus with the file from 533 and it's working here now too. File from 533 was larger for whatever it's worth.

533 file on the left ....older than the file directly off the beta iso..... but it's working now. :)

I would be very thankfull if this gets resolved. I have reported double printing errors with Opera many times, and no fix was ever offered. I like Opera (although many of it's nice features are now offered also in other browsers .. long live the browser war !!), but cannot use it on systems that need to use the printer.

Thanks for trying to solve this ....

@Billtoo

Code: Select all

(cd /usr/bin; ln -sf strings-GNU strings)
@James C.. bad idea. It will break the menus as they are meant to be. I really don't know why it failed. Worked first go here.

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=firefox
Icon=firefox.png
Type=Application
Categories=WebBrowser;
Name=Firefox
..dont need the "jwm -reload"

Tested on a couple of slow machines, still working :? . Maybe try on a new install.

Billtoo.. funny, I d'loaded kde games and PPM says that the dep (libdbusmenus-qt) is installed, I couldn't find it though, another PPM bug.

Meanwhile, I patched jwm-menu_create to recognise the kde4 desktop dir.
