Printers not printing. (unique to VL)

Claws-mail still hangs. (unique to VL)

/root folder applet on upper panel not asking for PW therefore useless.

Just installed vl7.1 64 bit beta 2.6 now, installer failed strangely.....

have to  copy isolinux directory in beta2.5  iso, to unetbootin usb disk, then install would go smoothly.

managed getting  beat 2.6 working now, but 3G modem still doesn't work yet.....

e1550 3G modem under vl7.0  64 bit it works fine

under vl 7.0 , it appears as following

lsusb
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 12d1:140c Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

under vl7.1 beta 2.6  64 bit ,it  still apppears  as :

lsusb
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 12d1:1446

on 2.6 you can just dd the iso to the usb drive

At this point I'd kinda like to see a change log prior to installing iso's

dd command does work well.

dd if=VL64-7.1-STD-B2.6.iso of=/dev/sdb  sync

now usb disk can install vl7.1 2.6 smoothly.

thanks....

Very nice to see usb drive installation made easier!

The URL above for the wiki page will get you there indirectly, but
here is the direct URL for reading the "create-bootable-usb-stick" wiki entry:

Installed cups-1.7.1

Still unable to print.  

Get the following errors:

CUPS server error
There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-document-format-not-supported'.

Unable to print test page:
Unsupported format "application/vnd.cups-banner".

Unable to open listen socket for address [v1.::1]:631 - Address family not supported by protocol.

[Client 9] Returning IPP client-error-document-format-not-supported for Print-Job (ipp://localhost/printers/Brother_DCP-385C) from localhost

Again cups did not detect my printers. I had to add them with system-control-printers.
This is only happening with VL. Not in other slackware or debian distros.

Just to note. had an issue with login text and session menu had no text

installed mate pkgs from gslapt to test and noticed that I had text in the session menu, etc

will install B2.2 again for better conformation. not a solution perhaps but still curious

@Masta...you had a thought but did not express due to time perhaps

Are you still having this text issue issue with issue with 2.7 iso?
