Hi All, thanks to Grumpy Wolfe & Flash for feedback,will try this later on with internet radio on Gxine.

Phil

Not sure if you can count as a bug or minor inconvenience ? When exiting from live-cd and saving session to cd,previous versions showed the progress as the data was written,now you just get a warning to make sure the drive tray is closed. Is there any way to re-start Gxine after using "kill&quo...

Hi, not used open office but this might help with abiword spell check http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=18074

Glad to know it worked for you.

When you right-click the file and select file "name of file" then "copy" a box pops up with the current path, overwrite this to the path you need to copy to, ie the the destination folder /root.abisuite/dictionary.

I would try this way:
Extract the zip file to your download folder then open two lots of rox-filer, one showing your download folder and the other showing the .abisuite/dictionary folder,click the file with middle button on mouse and drag to the desired folder,choose copy when offered.

Place your dictionary file to /root/.AbiSuite/dictionary/
Note the "." at the start of the name ".Abisuite", the folder is hidden so you need to show all files to see it.Click the eye icon to show all files.

Barry .. Started from scratch again with new cd burnt in Puppy this time not Windoze, 1, boot cd,remove icons,save and reboot,icons re-appear 2, apply rc.update, remove icons,save and reboot, icons stayed away I am puzzled,must be a bad burn on previous cd's. Thanks for your persistance Phil :D :D

Thanks for your ass...

Just tried this update on new cd to eliminate any mistakes on my part, back to same as before with icons coming back after being deleted.

Phil

Have just re-booted with the rc.update as per original but line 280 altered as per Barry's post,and the icons are correct,no extra icons that had been deleted.

Thanks again Barry.

Phil

This is from the bootconfig file:

PREVUNIONRECORD='2007-05-19-21-02 pup_216.sfs '
LASTUNIONRECORD='2007-05-20-07-21 pup_216.sfs '

Will try the mod to rc.update on line 280 as well as reverting to the original rc.update before I changed text.

Hi Ian, When you have the folder opened /etc/rc.d, you should be able to see the file rc.update,right-click the file and choose to open as text,scroll down to close to end of file and you will see a section "fix desktop" under there is the entry I changed as per previous post. This fix is ...

Hi Barry, I get the same result as yours when run in a terminal window.


sh-3.00# grep -E 'pinboard>|<\?xml' /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<pinboard>
</pinboard>


Phil

Thanks Barry,now solved. Opened /etc/rc.d/rc.update, under the fix desktop section I found this entry: grep -v -E 'pinboard>|<\?xml' /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin | sort -u >> /tmp/PuppyPinTmp and modified it to read: grep -v -E 'pinboard>| <\?xml version="1.0"?>' /root/Choices/ROX-File...

You might be having a problem with ROX-Filer. Look at /root/Choices/ROX-Filer before and after you delete an icon, see if it is getting changed. It might not be. Also look in /root/.config/ROX-Filer/ The puppypin file does show the changes if I remove icons,however when I save to cd and re-boot the...

I deleted the 'chat' icon, rebooted, and it was still gone (live-cd). It will only come back when you upgrade a version . Thanks for reply, however when I re-boot all the icons I had previously removed still come back.Are there any other files that need editing to keep the icons away when not neede...

I can not remove icons from desktop,right-click and select remove item but they keep coming back when re-booting.I have also tried manually editing choice/rox-filler/puppypin file but the icons still come back. Previous versions 2.15 etc work ok when removing icons.I am using from live-cd not a hard...
