Re: The Debian-Live Daedalus Starter Kit

For anyone who has recently acquired a bleeding-edge HP printer, here are the separate print and scan drivers built from HPLIP v3.24.4.

They are two years ahead of the versions in the Bookworm repo.

Re: gtkdialog GTK3 question setting window size

I agree that gtkdialog-gtk3 sometimes has a mind of its own when it comes to geometry.

Try "--geometry=700x0".

I have found that setting the vertical size to "0" sometimes helps.

A Smaller Version of SANE

As the SANE scanner driver system evolves, it keeps getting bigger. But many of the supported models are legacy units that no longer exist. All you really need is support for a few modern vendors like:

Canon (pixma)
Epson (epson2)
Epson EcoTank (epsonds)
HP (hpaio)

HEIF image files and PeasyScale


I am surprised at your comment regarding transformation & scaling (tested by width x height). For me it worked straight away on a single file and popped up in Viewnior.
In previous versions, if you selected a new scaling size AND a transformation like "rotate", you could only do one function at a ...

PeasyScale v3.3

In previous versions of PeasyScale, you could not scale an image and do a transformation like "Rotate" at the same time. It took separate runs for each task, which resulted in multiple files and PEASYSCALE subfolders. Now v3.3 can finally do this in one step.

Continuing from v3.2, this is Webp ...

Re: The Debian-Live Daedalus Starter Kit


Would it be possible to include the Webp format in your PeasyScale utilising FFmpeg?

As usual, these transformations are handled by the command-line tool image-changer which is part of the package. Image-changer is a small, fast C program that uses builtin GTK functions.
Only if GTK recognized ...

Open a terminal and type: busybox ping 8.8.8.8

Do you get a reply?

Then do: busybox ping google.com

Re: How to connect Internet via USB Ethernet Adapter

It looks like your machine has a valid IP address 192.168.1.204, so the only issue is setting the DNS server to 8.8.8.8

Go to /etc and create the file resolv.conf.head

Add the line: nameserver 8.8.8.8

Reboot

How were you setting up 8.8.8.8 when you were on wifi? I notice from your old posts that ...

Re: How to connect Internet via USB Ethernet Adapter

Is there a reason that you are using static IP instead of DHCP? With DHCP, your router will automatically give you an IP address.

Were you using static when you connected with WiFi? What did your IP address look like then?

Where did you get the IP addresses that you are using with static? They ...
