Thanks for the replys guys. I have SM 2.4 with the bookmark manager so I exported to a thumb drive. I opened it and the file ended in "json" so maybe it will import to Firefox. So far I haven't been able to get the Ubuntu OS to install onto the intended Latitude D600. Have to work that out...

The console output indicated a Python problem, just like 666philb said.

It also won't work in Lucid 5.2.8.

Hmmm ..... The drivers listed below are my current attempt at merging some of the printer models defined from v2.50 - v2.70 into the v3.00 driver source. All drivers from v2.50 up-to v2.70 are gtk1 based and all drivers from v2.80 upwards are gtk2 based. Merging them should make our life simpler .....

Re: GIMP Printing

I've been using GIMP for years and have not experienced this issue. When you select "print" from the menu, do you get a pop up window which allows you to set up the parameters for printing? In this menu, you have under the General Settings, a place to select your printer, or to print to f...

What Puppy are you using? Where did you get the Gimp package? It may be less trouble to save your work as a JPG or PNG and print it with PeasyPrint. I am using slacko5.3.1 , got gimp from my desktop 'slickpet' I don't have peasyprint or can't find it. It loolks like a handy thing to have for camera...

LibreOffice depends on Java for specific features, as far as I remember it was some extension and Base. You can use it without JRE, with those features unavailable - you won't notice this unless you're a hardcore user :) By the way - this message shows several times on the first startup of LibreOff...

Abiword processor

I can open Abiword, start a new doc and type a few paragraphs and occasionally when I hit 'save as' The doc just disappears. Does the same thing if I open the desktop icon 'Write' which I assume is the same word processor. This happens when I try to 'save as' or just 'save'. Doesn't do it every time...
