Sorry for the delayed reply.

Yes, I followed those excellent instructions to the letter

Pete...

Dear All, I have an issue with the above driver that I'm hoping that you can help me with. I often receive A3 & A2 architectural drawings as .PDF files and only having an A4 printer, I just 'shrink to fit' and the drawing should appear in full on A4. So, within CUPS (for the above printer), I ha...

After the embarrassing disaster of not pointing candi to the .deb file in /packages, :roll: I've managed to create the .pet file and install it correctly. However... No matter what I did, cups would not see the printer - but did give me a lovely error -: "Directory "/usr/lib/cups/filter&qu...

The .deb driver file is in a subfolder of the directory cnijfilter2-5.20-1-deb. Aha... :oops: Sorry :oops: Couldn't see the wood for the trees If you ran candi-pet-maker back in August, you would have a ready-to-go installer PET to use here in Xenial. Not sure if I did use candi-pet-maker, or the m...

Dear all, As you can see from above, I found Candi to be perfect under Tahrpup. But I've upgraded to xenial and either I'm missing something very obvious (quite possible), or canon have changed something that ran ok under Tahrpup. Following the excellent instructions above, this is what happens :- >...

Bigpup, you're absolutely right. (Why didnt i see this before?) I should have used the 'Empty Trash' from within XFE.

Matchpoint, Yes. Once i'd removed a reference within /root/.packages/user-installed-packages, Xenial Quickpet was ok to install Mydbox.

Thanks for your help


Pete...

No, I've not installed Thunar (what is it?)

At the Mydbox user choice dialogue box, I chose 'Run as Root'

Regards


Pete...

Hi Matchpoint, Thanks for the rapid reply. 1) Trash Yes. When I right click on my Trash icon, it shows me that the trash icon is (what appears to be) a simlink which is located in /usr/local/trash/apps/Trash. All the files that you display in your screen dump also appear in my area. 2) Mydbox - Drop...

Dear all, I had been running Tahr for some time and was very happy with it, except for the CD-Burning issue of PBurn. So, I've 'upgraded' to Xenial 7.5 - wonderful!! Thank you!! Except... 1) Missing trash. The trash icon shows no files at all - so emptying the trash has not effect. However, when I u...

Dear all, After searching this forum, I still cant find an answer to (what seems to be) a very simple bug when burning an audio CD under Tahrpup 6.0.6. It works fine under Slacko, but it is annoying having to reboot just to burn a few CDs. To answer the the first questions that will no doubt be aske...

Dear all,

Followed the instructions on page 1 & 14 for a Canon MG5750 over USB. Printing and scanning all work beautifully.

Excellent job - Thanks

PEte...

Dear all, Thanks for all your replies and ideas. In response to bigpup, err... it's not exactly solved... as yet... more of a 'work in progress' situation. In the short-term, I've loaded Slacko 6.3.2 as a dual boot and use whichever OS is required at the time. I would certainly like to get into comp...

Hi mostly_lurking,

yup, you're right
Shows that it's 32 bit

Oh dear, back to the drawing board.

Thanks for your help


PEte...

Hi rcrsn51 You are installing 32bit apps into a 64bit Puppy. Aha! That would be a very good reason for it failing But I thought that /xfe-1.42mod-i686.pet is a 64 bit app? At least that's what I thought when I read it on http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=982944856&t=109769...

Hi Wiak,

Thanks for the reply, but no joy
gives /usr/bin/xfe

I then did try
but that still gives /usr/bin/xfe No such file or directory.

I'll try reinstalling it and see what happens


PEte...

Dear all, I'm running Slacko64 6.3.2 and wanted to use xfe as a file manager. So I followed the instructions in http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=109769 and downloaded the .pet http://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linux_Forum_Pets/xfe-1.42mod-i686.pet downloaded the fox-1.6.37-i486.pet, ...
