Raring puppy prints

March 30, 2013 — BarryK
We were discussing inability to print from Raring Puppy:
http://bkhome.org/archive/blog2/201303/raring-puppy-debut.html

I fixed it by using the official DEB cups and ghostscript packages, rather than my Wary PETs. It does bump up the live-CD by about 2MB.

modesetting_drv.so in woof
Username: pemasu
Now that there is solution to provide oob modesetting_drv.so for intel gma graphics users, it would be nice if woof automatically would move that driver to the alternate location, just like 3builddistro do for nv_drv.so atm. Just samekind detection and location transfer would be nice as there is for nv_drv.so atm. I think that me and 01micko already provide modesetting driver support in builds. And we have got reports that it works providing proper resolution, with this unaccelarated driver.

"[b]wjaguar[/b] ( - mtpaint maintainer) has rewritten /usr/sbin/background_reshape He's a programmer so I guess can say what he wants about code! (please take with a grain of salt) http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=695028#695028 I believe there may have been some "user error" in that thread... wjaguar's script checks for that... FWIW
