Just went ahead and fired-up Seamonkey, after symlinking the imported default folder, and this time everything was imported properly - Inbox subfolders, archived emails, filters, etc.

It appears that I lost the few emails that had arrived and were sent during the first session, though I would have expected they'd have been written to this common imported & symlinked default folder.

Sigh.

Wondering: SeaMonkey is a built-in feature of FATDOG. Is there a PET which would provide proper constructs for LH64? I looked for one in FATDOG but, I may have overlooked where it resides.

Just thoughts that would make the SeaMonkey experience a simple one.

AlsaConf shows this:

hda-Intel Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Hudson Azalia Controller

hda-Intel ATI Technologies Inc Device 9902

legacy Probe legacy ISA (non-PnP) Chips

I tried the first two and the taskbar volume control remained unresponsive (full volume by default) and I have no sound.

I did not try legacy due to the warning that it might render the system unstable and it's a fairly new laptop which is unlikely to contain such devices.

WDYT, please?

David,
Please check that all needed channels are enabled in the mixer, (right-click on the speaker icon for retrovol down near the clock -> then click 'Full Window'.) Usually the first four or five should be enabled (not muted) and raise the volumes if they are lowered.

RE: UEFI, ext3 for the partition with your L64save file should be fine. Have you gone back into the UEFI Setup, Boot tab in your BIOS to see if the boot option you added in Step 5 is still there? If not, put it back in and disable Secure Boot, maybe that will help. EFI/boot/bootx64.efi is the correct file on your new fat32 partition.

Hi TaZoc,

Having fun with it, as you can see eSword works find as well as the obsolete commercial program, Quickverse 2011, running under Wine installed with greendome's latest wine-1.6-rc5-i486_v1.pet along with Fatdog's 32bit-slacko.sfs. You may want to add them to your update with a reminder that Fatdog's 32bit-slacko.sfs must also be loaded.

Regards,
Jim

Booted and runnig Mariner from DVD. Is anyone else seeing GVFS behavior with nothing going on like what I am seeing here. Thre are no foreign PETs or SFSs installed. And the only thing active is ROX.

Initially, I saw this climb after starting Firefox from the terminal. Over the course of a day, the system pegged the CPU with FF open in use.

I shut FF down and this is what I have. There are no FF services/subsystem running at the moment, but of interest,is the GVFS performance shown in top.

Ideas and ideas for resolution???

Edited (2013/07/21): This problem is probably NOT due to GVFS presence, but, rather due to something in Mariner. I have been running BASIC LH64for observation over past several days and am not seeing the sustained CPU use that was witnessed before and after FF use on Mariner.

... more on my Chrome using 100% of CPU problem. I got the following information from this url:

and for my desktop box it really made Chrome run much better in Mint14. It is an older 64-bit machine but no dinosaur:

Hi,
first post here I'm new to puppy linux & I love lighthouse linux so far.
My problem is that the lsblk process eats up 100% of my dual core at boot.

My guess is that this process is used in the automounting process of my drives at boot (??). If i kill the process, my drives icon automagically appear in the bottom left corner of my desktop.

So...I guess this process has trouble doing something with one of my partitions at boot.
It seems to be stuck on a sda1 partition, which is one of those "system reserved" ntfs partitions from windows.

Am I alone?
Help please, thanks
