SoftMaker Office 2021
This is downloadable as .rpm or .deb for GNU/Linux. GhostBSD uses CentOS Linuxolator - not sure how to use it. They also offer a .pkg for Mac - could this be used to install it? Update: Just tried following this guide: https://wiki.freebsd.org/LinuxJails and also tried Bastille without success: http...

Re: [SOLVED] Unable to get Canon Pixma TS-8151 to Print
Well, decided to try once more and solved it. Had to use IPP everywhere in CUPS after selecting discovered network printers!

Re: Unable to get Canon Pixma TS-8151 to Print
Well today I tried from System | Administration | Print Settings. Deleted the Printer, added it, Test page started to bring the printer into life but then it stopped half-way. This is a deal breaker for me - one of the reasons why I dropped Artix Linux. Now I have discovered Gutenprint (or rediscove...

Hi neville, many thanks - I saw all those linux-c* packages and was unsure which one to install. Many thanks.

Re: Unable to get Canon Pixma TS-8151 to Print
I've solved the missing printer driver issue by installing Gutenprint, but when attempting to print a test page it states it is sending the job, shows 52% complete in CUPS, then disappears. I've made sure that I am listed as an allowed user and set to Server Default. This is the 'same' named driver ...

[SOLVED] Unable to get Canon Pixma TS-8151 to Print
There is no listed driver for this printer under Canon, so chose Generic Post Script option. Made myself allowed to use Printer but each time Test Print is launched it adds a sequential number to the Printer: Screenshot at 2023-04-06 23-28-13.png Ironically, I can get the Scanner function working wi...

Is there a 'Linixulator' package for GhostBSD?
Hi, I have downloaded a .tar.gz version of SoftMaker Office. (I purchased this back in 2019 at a bargain price and upgraded to 2021 version from 2018 when it came out for Linux. Once extracted, there are two files, one is office2021.tar.lzma, the other is a command file, installsmoffice. I know it i...

Re: New user with some feedback
Just installed sndio. When I look at trying to remove pulse-audio, it wants to take the system (Desktop) with it, just as it would in GNU/Linux! Disappointing. I may have to try and play with venom linux again. I can install but when adding a DE, can't get it to boot into DE like you can with GhostB...

Re: New user with some feedback
Cheers neville. Yes and Microsoft also employs two ex Canonical employees who designed the DE for Windows 8.1! Thanks for the info on sndio. Will look into it. I don't use Telegram. I don't know how it fairs on security. I certainly don't use any IRC's any more!

New user with some feedback
Well, what can I say! Less than 5 minutes to install. Minor issue - chose my language and locale at point of install and keyboard layout (en-GB). After install got notification of upgrade - did it - took about 20 minutes. After reboot, Software Station became inaccessible with 'wrong password' - wha...
