The best workaround is to export all Libre Office documents to PDF first so I can print in Qpdf.
Or use Abiword.
Not a very big problem.
New question:
How can I backup the savefile? gadmin Rsync gave an error because the savefile is used during the backup. Pupsave backup also no luck because no frugal.
print to file is the same as print to pdf. i'll have a look at the backup pupsave.
Alt key to raise window ?

G'day DuMar,
If the program's window extends off/below the monitor screen hiding, say, the "OK" or "Enter" button you're trying to click on, have you tried holding down the <Alt> key then dragging (with the mouse or equivalent) the program window up the screen?

G'day 666philb,
Is it something I've done (again
), but I cannot get 'Open As Text' to work in Fossa64+1 (screenshot example [- going off-topic- I'm trying to open the script that runs a Portable Browser which is incorrectly using a lib file from Fossa when I thought it was only to use its own libs in its own lib sub-directory; the Fossa version of libpangoft2 stops the script and when I switch the libpangoft2 file from the browser Portable to Fossa, Fossa gets upset
]).
"Open with Geany" does work but I'm too old to learn a new right-click Menu trick
.
Thanks for your time and trouble.
David S.

Hello 666philb
I need to modprobe lp to use my printer. If I do this from a terminal it works and the printer prints OK.
If I put modprobe lp into /etc/rc.d/rc.local it doesn't work. I can't think what I can have done wrong!

@lateadopter - a dirty hack would be to put modprobe lp in /usr/sbin/delayedrun as the second last line & restart

hi davids45
check geany is set as the default editor and viewer in menu>>setup>>default application chooser
if that fails right click on a text file and choose 'set run action'
it should be

Hi,
I have spent hours improving an old PC just to test fossapup64, and I cannot perform a full installation.
Is it my mistake or is it still not possible?.
Personal space stays only 3.5 Gb. A current HD video normaly has 5GB and not fits.

To do a full install the partition on the drive has to be formatted in a Linux format ext2, 3, or 4.
Personal space stays only 3.5 Gb.
If you have a frugal install of Fossapup64 on a partition formatted fat32.
The save file size max limit is around 4GB.
This is a max file size limit of fat32.
Forget doing full installs.
Some features only work on frugal installs.
If you do the frugal install on a drive partition formatted ext2 ,3 or 4.
The save can be a save folder.
Save folder size is automatically adjusted as needed.
Only size limit is how much free space is in the partition.

Thanks for reply.
From the old times on Tahrpup I always managed ext4 format and full install over some 1Tb HDs, I'm very satisfied this kind of use, so I will not 'forget' the full install, that's why never used FatDog as stable OS.
Matter of operating modes you know...
4 Gb, I insist, is not enough for me.
Going back to Bionic for now.

Hello 666philb
There's a file /etc/modprobe.d/cdrecord.conf that triggers some abuse, when I run modprobe, but doesn't normally matter.
However I have just installed VirtualBox on fossapup64 and the modprobe error prevented the rcvboxdrv script from running properly until I disabled the .conf.

My system is freezing:
I use Lick, frugal install with 25 Gig 3fs savefile on a ntfs 1TB HDD.
About 2 times an hour the system got stuck.
I have to switch the machine of by using the power button.
At startup I notice a scrolling list with something as:
clearing up orphined bla bla bla can't read so fast.

Hi DuMar,
are you trying to create a 25gb savefile or am i reading this wrong?
before installing to an ntfs partition you should defrag the HD in windows.
but even then a 25gb savefile will be problematic

fossapup64-9.0.1.iso
Menu --> Document --> Geany text editor --> (type any text...)

Is there a way to uninstall Geany 1.36 and then install Geany 1.33 by myself? TKS.

Hmm, sounds "theme" related. No issues here. Which GTK, Icon, JWM themes are you running melon688?
