another little bug

#1341 Post by disciple »

EDIT - ignore this post. It is working for me now, and I can't figure out what was going on before.
--------------------------
When you hit burn and get the dialog that says this:
Pburn

Error:
File(s) to be burn does not exit
/Path/File
After clicking OK, the file is removed from the displayed burn list, but the Free Space isn't updated, and it isn't removed from the real burn list (graft_points I guess) - if you click burn again you get the same error message again.

Also, "Save As" and "Save" aren't working for me anymore:
1. If I try to "save as" Pburn.pbn anywhere other than /root/ it thinks I'm trying to save in /root, asking me if I want to overwrite my existing /root/Pburn.pbn
2. It doesn't actually save anything - /root/Pburn.pbn, or anything else :(

Can anyone confirm these problems with a more current Puppy?

Sorry - please ignore my first post - it is working fine now (the missing item is still displayed in the burn list).
I think my real problem before may have been that it wasn't displayed to start with (I don't know why), not that it was removed after the error message.

My second post still stands - saving does not work.

I tried in Puppy 5.1.1 and saving works. What Puppy are you running?

Code: Select all

icedax dev=/dev/sr0 -vall cddb=1 -B -info-only /tmp
This scans disc, goes to web if no local cd-text, and generates *inf files in /tmp. The problem is that in Quirky is that the *.inf files are placed in /root (even if I 'cd /tmp' first). I have not seen this in other Puppies, but have not tested Wary.
This is a lie, - I just tested Puppy 4.3.1, and it acts the same buggy way.

I'm using Puppy 4.1.1

Hmmm, problem (1) does not occur now - maybe a reboot fixed it somehow...
I booted with pfix=ram and tested for problem (2) - it still occurs, and I've established that it was introduced with pburn 3.2.7
Maybe it is caused by the use of busybox for something in 4.1.1 that it isn't used for in later versions... EDIT - no, I don't think so. In fact I can't see any difference between 3.2.6 and 3.2.7 which looks like it might have caused this. I'll do some more investigation when I find time.

FYI the test for SKIP_STARTUP_CHECK also doesn't work in 4.1.1
Even when it is set to false pburn doesn't check, except when "upgrading" on the first run after installing a new version.
Testing indicates it stopped working sometime between pburn 2.5.5 and 3.0.0 (I can't remember if there were any other versions between these two, but I don't have any :) )
There wasn't actually any SKIP_STARTUP_CHECK back then, but 2.5.5 checked every time it started, and 3.0.0 only checked twice :)

I've also noticed that after reverting to an older version of pburn for testing, the correct (older) version number is shown by the startup splash screen and pburn -v, but the incorrect (newer) version number is shown in the about window and in the titlebar of the main window.

This is probably where the confusion is coming from about what version people are running - maybe they've copied the pburn configuration from a save file where a newer version was installed... or installed an older version for testing and then forgotten that they did so.

I guess it is this that should change... although changing it now won't help anyone using a newer configuration with versions released before now ;)

Code: Select all

[ `echo $TMP | sed -e s/^.*\=//g | tr -d "."` -lt 330 > /dev/null 2>&1 ] && \
	cp -f $APPDIR/pburnrc $HOME/.pburn/pburnrc  #Older than 3.3.0

Yes, I saw that too, and reported.

Fixed now)

OK, this one is strange. Sometimes it does check. Maybe there is a loop or something that keeps running for a while after Pburn is closed, so it only asks if I wait until the loop is finished before starting Pburn.

This isn't particularly good, because someone might click OK without reading the dialogue properly, then decide they need to, so close Pburn and start it again...

Does the startup check work in a recent Puppy if you close Pburn and then run it again immediately?

I was recommended to switch from /bin/bash to /bin/sh for a reason that I don't recall. This switch was introduced for Pburn 2.6.0. I guess busybox was one of the words in that explanation...... :roll: .......Barry, do you have any knowledge?


Thanks

To downgrade Pburn this code should do it

Code: Select all

[ `echo $TMP | sed -e s/^.*\=//g | tr -d "."` != 330 > /dev/null 2>&1 ] && \
	cp -f $APPDIR/pburnrc $HOME/.pburn/pburnrc  #Other than this version

I will include.

Was 3.2.7 when Pburn stopped writing all the random files in / ?
Or does it still write them sometimes?

I don't have any pburn files in /, so yes, I think we finally got rid of those. It must be said that I still have 2 pmusic files in /. :oops:

Just checked in Puppy 5.1.1, and it seems to work fine.

Barry
I have made an attempt to fix Pburn. 3.3.1 works ok for me in Quirky 1.4, but since I couldn't reproduce your freeze of X, it would be good if you could check it out...

There were 2 main differences between Puppy 5.1.1 and Quirky 1.4:
1.)
icedax in Quirky does not work properly if target/*.inf is set to a hidden dir. - Pburn has the default temporary dir: $HOME/.pburn, and that failed. I have now set default temporary dir to $HOME/my-documents/tmp instead. This bug also occur in Puppy 4.3.1
2.)
The bash (Pburn uses /bin/sh) interpreter is different.

Code: Select all

echo "{3.1}" | grep -o "\{3.1\}"
is true in Puppy 5.1.1 and Puppy 4.3.1, but errors in Quirky 1.4

Correction of the previous post:
Puppy 5.1.1: icedax does NOT place the *.inf files in correct dir if path contains a hidden dir.

Zigbert 'Thank You' for your application, I finally got it working!!

I did attempt to try the additional audio/video options but that did not work for me, I only really needed to burn ISO's, data files and be able to erase discs when needed.

Just to let you know I found this link was not working in your initial post:

Plugins:

- Fixate DVD: close (10 kb) [Not in Puppy]

I found ( I hope ) a link for it here:
