What puzzles me is why this and other bugs that don't exist in Puppy 4.3.1, such as drive icon misalignment, are now popping up in the Lucid Puppy pre-releases. Why not just re-use the identical code from 4.3.1 that makes these things work right? |
You can realign the icons manually. I assume that only some event controlled activations are missing.

Drive icons. |

I had the drive icons overlapping and even worse at a subsequent boot.
I had to use the redraw function to get the icons properly aligned.

Simpel Network Setup |

I reported already earlier.
I have a long list of routers. Normally I drag the list with ALT and left mouse button, but this doesn't work.
I have the same drag problem when I display a pdf file.

Printen to cups-pdf |
|
Altho all seems ok, no pdf file is created.
I tried when printing from my e-mail (wine) application and from a text file in geany.
However when printing from text in geany I get the opton print to file which works, not in my e-mail (wine) client.
EDIT
This solves the problem.

Correct. To me, a staunch Puppy user for years now, realigning the icons manually is a minor inconvenience. To at least some newer users, I think, it would be a sign that the Puppy developers might not know how to get things done right. But of course it won't really, since the problem will be solved before the final release of Puppy 5!

eeepc acpi scripts |
|
I'm using Lucid Puppy 113. I chose it because it has screen panning and the newer kernel. I thought the EEEpc ACPI scripts were integrated into this kernel, but the hotkeys are not working. I tried installing the deb from http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/eeepc-acpi-scripts/eeepc-acpi-scripts_1.1.10_all.deb. and rebooted, but still no luck.
I know tempestuous created a patched kernel for these scripts, but I think it is for .25, not .33.
Also, only the Lucid Main remains selected after OK in the package manager. Multiverse and Universe do not remain selected.
Cheers to your hard work.[/url]

Desktop drive icons information |
|
I think I reported it before.
Either here or in a quirky feedback thread.
When going with the mouse cursor over the drive icons on the desktop, normally the file system and size is displayed in a pop-up.
Not in Lucid (nor in quirky). Only the file system is displayed, not the size.

It works for me, did you set your locale yet? Pmount crashes if you don't, maybe that is related?
Cheers

Time off by 2 hours |
|
Alltho I did set the timezone to my zone Europe/Brussels the clock is 2 hours ahead.
I went into desktop|set timezone.
I saw the correct timezone Europe/Brussels was displayed, so all I did was push ok and the clock jumped the two hours back to the correct time.
Rebooting this morning I saw the clock was again 2 hours ahead.
I did the same manipulation again resulting to have the clock jump back 2 hours to the correct time.
Kinda annoying.

non US keyboard selection. |
|
Kinda annoying for those having a non-US keyboard.
Now that boot is done to the desktop to eventually do some more setup there is this annoying thing that for selecting the keyboard, when one pushes the button to do so the X command prompt is displayed and xorgwizard has to be typed.
Well try to do this on a non-US keyboard. A real pleasure and puzzle.
So I prefer that at least the keyboard can be selected during the first boot as it was before.

I agree, although I've got a US keyboard. The idea of booting directly to the desktop is to make things easier for users. If it turns out to make things harder for a considerable number of users instead, it should be dropped because it's a step in the wrong direction, not the right direction. It appears that booting directly to the desktop does make things harder for a considerable number of users, like those with non-US keyboards and those who don't want or can't use the screen resolution they initially get (about 35%, according to the poll right now).

Ok guys and gals...
I got the swatter out and eliminated one of those nasties..
The dreaded timezone bug
It was all but a simple symlink, (which took me an age to find )
Try the attached dot pet and report results please. Pfix=ram is best, but it doesn't matter if you still have the bug in a saved configuration, try it anyway.
Cheers
pet removed.. it was silly

Cheers | Hi Micko,
My locale is set as always to nl_BE@euro :Dutch, Belgium.
It started as well in quirky as in Lucid some versions back.
Found back the comments in quirky 10
Pmount works without crash.

boot to desktop and keyboard issues.
my thoughts: still boot to desktop but enable keyboard to be set in the initial start-up wizard similar to how time zone is set now.
