I attempted to install Noscript and Mouse Gesture extensions to Seamonkey 1.1.2. Both download and then fail with error 201.

Same behavior under betas 2 and 3

I've yet to identify this error code, so I can't be sure who or what's at fault. Both these extensions installed and worked under 2.17 (Seamonkey 1.0.8.

I pulled down and installed Seamonkey 1.1.4 to /usr/lib/seamonkey, modified a few links and it works well.

Extensions install perfectly under 1.1.4.

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone,

Two problems I have seen:

My laptop has a bcm43xx wifi chipset.
It is well recognized, but after having entered my WEP key and successfully checked the network, there is no way to get an IP adress with DHCP...

Another problem: I usually play with swf games on my local hard drive. I specially have a kind of reference "curveball.swf" which is a highly dynamic ping pong game. This game is very fluid with puppy 2.16 but is rather jerky with 3.00 final (it already was in beta2 but I could not report it): The animation gets slow 1 second about every 5 seconds which makes the game rather hard to play Wink

G'day,

I like the 3.00 release except for three things.

1. It doesn't detect eth0 or eth1 on one computer (Desktop with asus m/board) or eth0 on the other (Gateway laptop) or load the modules (or drivers or whatever they are in the wizard for network). These worked fine previoulsy (2.14).

2. My USB mouse didn't get detected on the desktop. Even when I dropped out of X and tried to select the mouse in xorgwizard it kept drpping back to PS2. So I have to use an old M$ ps2 mouse. Crying or Very sad

3. The available disk space thingy in the bottom right hand corner states that I have no disk space, when there is over 40gig left.

I reloaded 2.14 on another partition and have internet access as it was before, with both eth0 and eth1 detected.

Apart from these bits not working I like the upgrade. Help.

EDIT...
All these things work fine when booting from the CD with pfix=ram,clean. They don't work after it is installed on the hrad drive.

In the new Seamonkey, using the wiki, the 'quick icons' do not appear. Confused

This also happens with Opera.

In Opera the trick was to make Opera act as if it was Netscape. I could not find a similar trick in Seamonkey 1.1.2
Is this solved by updating to 1.1.4?
Is there a solution?

I'm having same error reported on this thread:

/bin/sh:can't access tty;job control turned off

What I did?

I've burned a CD with puppy 3.00 (md5sum ok)

At same CD, I've burned openoffice2.0.0 and devx3.00.sfs (md5sum ok)

When booting with the CD, the above message appears.

Any suggestion?

thanks

I have tried to use Dougals remaster on Puppy 3 Beta 1, Beta 2 and Final

No joy Confused

Is the remaster incompatibe with 3?
Should I try Puppy remaster instead (anyone try that - I think it requires burning to a CD-R and is much simpler? Anyone try it in P3 (Puppy3)?

It is possible that there is a conflict with Ezpup and P3 and Dougal's remaster?
It is also possible that I have insufficient ram (512MB) and need a Linux swap file?

Update:
Someone has managed to use Douglas remaster to create "Fire Hydrant" based on Puppy 3"
By using the 'simple' option in Dougals remaster, I too was able to create a remaster of Puppy 3 Smile

I do not know if this should be called a bug, but I did correct the problem.
I loaded Puppy 3.00 on the long suffering USB hard drive, which I do all experiments on. On boot, I found Puppy 3.00 did not recognize my WIFI USB device. Since I recently used the USB hard drive to do some testing of Puppy 2.17 and WPA protection schemes, I knew the WFI did work. Puppy 3.00 on USB hard drive was not detecting the WIFI USB device and loading the proper module. I tried booting with just the CDROM copy of Puppy 3.00. No problems were encountered. The WIFI networking was there with the proper module for the USB WIFI device

This gave me an idea. I tried booting with the CDROM and with the USB hard drive and WIFI device attached. The CDROM Puppy 3.00 did detect the save file on the USB hard drive and the WIFI device. The proper module was load and WIFI worked fine. Using the connection wizard, I set up for the WIFI networking to be started at boot. Rebooted to save the configuration to the USB device. Removed the CDROM and the USB hard drive booted correctly with the WIFI setup.

The use of the CDROM and USB save device (flash or hard drive) may be a "work around" until the resident wizards correct the USB device detection problem.

I've fixed the error:
/bin/sh:can't access tty;job control turned off

...removing devx300.sfs and openoffice2.0.0.sfs from the CD.

I think the devx300.sfs was the responsible for the bug, but I'm not sure.

Hope this info help others.

I tried to report this bug in Barry's Developers blog for beta 2 but it wouldn't let me so I reported it in this forum instead. Perhaps I was too late for 3.00. Anyway it does the same thing. To wit: multisession Puppy saves as it should when it shuts down, but not using the "Save" icon on the desktop. When the "Save" icon is clicked an rxvt window opens but nothing else happens. Puppy just sits there, with a rxvt window open that shows nothing but a blinking cursor.

ok i am running 3.00 in pfix=ram on my laptop 64mb ram so basically it is just ignore in my pupsaves and it is resonably fast from cd

dial up is sort of working same as in 2.17.1

in 3.00 i have to depmod then modprobe ltmodem then modprobe ltserial or else it doesn't detect my modem at all
it is detected as /dev/ttyS_ESSO i am getting 26 to 36 kbs
would be nice it this were fixed in 3.01 along with the grub issues (booting puppy from frugal on fat32 with grub in a separate ext2 partition) also could a command line script be made that outputs hardware configuration to a connected drive say the hard drive FD or flash drive just a thought
