M12 11.9.92

[beckwith]

 
Sorry if this has been brought up already, but has anyone mentioned this?

http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libwine-print

That fixed the problem. Strange though that I never had to load this
library before. Thanks.

- - - Spoke too soon! After a few minutes using a Wine app the system
now "hangs" - dead! I have to reboot.

"glabels" comes close to what I've been using under Wine, but it doesn't
have the capabilties of even a ancient Windoze app (PDG)

- - - Spoke even much too soon! The Wine app will actually crash the
system and return to the login screen - which fails! Reboot!

Sigh!

For labels I now just use LO, pulling data from a LO db I keep updated.

M12 is a long time coming, but I am now set up with. 11.9.92 as my production system, so no waiting for me.

Is the beta now supported with the necessary repositories and updates?

Warren's M12 repo, the M12 CRs, and the Debian Wheezy repos have all been up and running for some time now. See: http://www.mepis.org/docs/en/index.php? ... t_MEPIS_12

As far as updates are concerned, what updates do you consider to be "necessary" ? [just about every user will have a different answer for that]

Had another crash today but different than the previous and only the browser crashed not a full system lockup like before. This time I was logged in to ebay with 2 tabs open... 1st tab was "my ebay" 2nd tab was viewing search results... at one point when clicking to view an item the browser crashed me back to my desktop. ... This is starting to look like an issue with iceweasel but I want to be sure it's not drivers or kernel related or other unknown. Iceweasel is 19.0.2

I'd suggest upgrading IceWeasel no matter what.

You might also update the flash plugin because M11.9.92 comes with the 11.2.202.275 version, the current version is 11.2.202.310.

Code: Select all

su -c 'update-flashplugin-nonfree --install --verbose'

I saw your other thread (in the 64-bit section) about the Wine printing problem. Several years ago I installed the 64-bit version of SM 8.0 (upgrading from SM 6.5) and immediately ran into several problems with Wine I couldn't resolve. I quickly ditched the 64-bit version of MEPIS and installed 32-bit as my production OS. If Wine is one of your mission-critical applications, you might want to consider using 32-bit instead. I know there many proponents of 64-bit in these forums, but I've always found 32-bit to be rock solid in every aspect. The main downside is that it's slower when running heavy number-crunching applications, such as DVD authoring. But for day-to-day use, its speed is certainly adequate, and I think you'll find it has fewer software issues overall.

upgraded to the .310 flash plugin and upgraded to the cr Firefox 23.0 Will see if that solves the problems. Thanks again

Do you by chance have an nVidia card? I have that happen constantly on my openSUSE machine with an nVidia card, but no issues at all on my Mepis 12 machine with a Radeon card...
