I am back after creating a CD and booting with it.
I had a USB flash drive plugged in that contains a slackosave.2fs file on a fat partition.
I clicked on the desktop Save button at 1:45 my time. It is now 2:00 my time and the splash message at the top of the screen which says "Saving RAM to 'pup-save' file..." is still present.
I had assumed that Barry had fixed that in the newest Woof.
Also, one would assume that that message would disappear when the save was completed. But it is not happening and that splash message has predominance as it displays on top of any other window opened.

My /tmp/xerrs.log shows the following in relation to the save attempt. I am showing it for use for further debugging as to why the splash message does not disappear.
How do I check if that procedure crashed silently?
EDIT START
It has been about 30 minutes since the first save and the Auto Save has kicked in and again I have that splash that does not disappear with a repeat of the quoted text from /tmp/xerrs.log.
EDIT END

Almost forgot! After the auto save, a system link called "yaf-splash" appeared in /tmp and it pointed to /usr/sbin/gtkdialog3.
gtkdialog3 on Slacko is a system link to gtkdialog.
Remember that Bary is using the original gtkdialog3 and gtkdialog in slacko is gtkdialog4 to him.
I do not know if a system link that points to another system link can mess things up, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Is that an old save file? If so then I'm not sure your results are relevant. Please test pfix=ram. If the results persist then surely it's a bug but with an old save too much could be on the top layer.

Thanks for being onto this issue, let's hope we get it fixed.

Cheers.

Oh, just saw your "almost forgot".. that's normal Wink

There should be no incompatibilities between gtkdialog3 and 4 in slacko.. I did say "should" Wink

appendix: I'll do some testing tomorrow as I'll have access to wifey's macbook, best way to use the macbook is boot from CD, save to usb. I already did tests on an actual usb install and the message goes away when the process is completed, that was on a eee-701SD and my P4 brookdale.

I think I have found the problem.
I examined /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d and in particular lines 517 to 527.
I then copied them without a call to save to the pupsave and added a short sleep line.
Evidently the program id for yaf-splash is not being got correctly because it does not get killed as intended.

Maybe one of our members can make sense of this.
