Has anybody tried to connect a (Canon) printer to the X5000?
Can anybody explain, if and what difference there is between Fienix 3 und 5.1 regarding printer driver and recognition?
As I connected my Canon Pixma under Fienix 3 to my X5000, it was automatically detected and the printer driver set.
Under Fienix 5.1: nothing happens. Why that?

Of course, any feedback, corrections, comments are welcome!

Could you please make sure you have "printer-driver-all", "cups" and "system-config-printer" installed? You should be able to install them from Synaptic, or by entering the below command as su -
Code: Select all
apt-get install -y printer-driver-all cups system-config-printer
Let me know if you encounter any issues.

Would it be possible to get 'musescore' for Fienix? There is already some version for MIntPPC, but it is uninstallable due to missing depots.

I was able to install 'musescore' on MintPPC today.

Did you know that Fienix turned 4 years old on December 5th?
I am retiring older versions and removing the repositories to make some space on the server.
The Fienix "Five" test repository and Fienix 5.0 "Fliegend" repository are scheduled for retirement on March 1, 2023. Please ensure your sources.list is updated to the Fienix 5.1 "Spark" repositories to avoid outages and apt errors.
The Fienix 4.0 "Soar" repository will stay active as a "long-term support" option.
Release of Fienix 6.0 is expected to be announced within days - this will be a big release.

Hello,
I have decided to upgrade my first Fienix install on my X50000 but I have an issue with the last fienix full img download from here :
https://fienixppc.blogspot.com/p/u-boot.html
I have this message
Loading ramdisk from FIT Image at 1c00000 ....
Bad FIT ramdisk image format!
Ramdisk image is corrupt or invalid
I have tried to change the kernel to 6.2 replace the .dtb no change
Any idea ?
Thanks
