I compiled and made a sfs file of Thunderbird-10.0.2 mail reader in
racy-5.2.2.
I tested it in both racy-5.2.2 and wary-5.2.2
EDIT: It works in Saluki too.

Regarding the GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true being a bad solution, see my post previous page.

The ROX-Filer focus problem has now been fixed! See my blog post, with a PET:

Seems that Mick forgot to include the ntfs-3g thing so that is why it did not boot

old text now not applickable

Barry, could you have changed something in woof
that makes it difficult for us using Slacko booted on
NTFS formatted internal drives in laptops netbooks.

Two of us report failed boot of 5.3.2.3 while the older slacko 5.3.2.1 just boots No problemo so something with NTFS seems to fail.

Been testing again with umount command. I have in /bin...umount script, umount-BB-NOTUSED symlink to busybox and umount-FULL binary.

I have mounted my usb card reader which has vfat SD card. When I execute in console. umount -a -t vfat, the rox folder content vanishes and pmount shows it unmounted.
umount-FULL -a -t vfat shows the same behavior...as it should.
Now the interesting part: busybox umount -a -t vfat unmounts the SD card also...and nothing else so it works with -t type definition.

busybox umount -a vfat unmounts all drives, lol and I have to execute /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit to get drive icons back, lol.

Is it just my setup in dpup exprimo or does the busybox umount work with -t in other Puppies ?
It looks like to me that there is working option even though it is not documented. Or am I just usual dumb and I dont understand something.

The umount-FULL comes from debian mount package (umount binary) and woof script renames it to the umount-FULL when it recognizes the real binary and sameway renames the busybox symlink. That much I understand but not the busybox umount -t feature, which should not be usable.

Hi Barry,

After installing your Rox-Filer pet on my Wary desktop and re-booting, I noticed that the Console on the desktop now appears as a symlink. Is this an expected result and is it of any consequence?

Thanks,
Monsie

Barry,

Apologies for raising false hopes with the GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS work-around. I'm glad that you spotted the problem before shipping it to the repo. And it is very good to hear that you were able to get a fix for the focus problem.

Argolance,

Apologies to you as well. I have been able to reproduce Barry's findings. (I needed a directory with almost 7000 items to do so, but the actual number will vary depending on how many items ROX-Filer displays in each row, and how tall each row is.) So my proposed work-around is certainly not the solution we were hoping for. The problem you are having will need to be fixed in ROX-Filer. Sorry that the work-around didn't work properly.
