menu->Setup->Mouse/keyboard Wizard->Type of mouse

There is a bug in the Input Wizard when you select to have the mouse changed to a left-handed mouse.
There is no option to change back to a right-handed mouse.

The option to change to a left-handed mouse does not stay checked.
There is a code change to Input Wizard that keeps it checked.
Now to change back to right-handed mouse you just uncheck the left-handed option.

The code change is talked about here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=96871
The change:

It's a bug. The window looks a bit different in Slacko5.9, but the code is probably the same.

Edit file /usr/sbin/input-wizard
Search for keyword LEFT_H_MOUSE
Then change line

Code: Select all

LEFT_H_MOUSE=` xmodmap -pp | grep -E " *[0-9] *[0-9]" | sed -e 's/ *\([0-9]*\) *\([0-9]*\)/\2/' | head -n 1`

to

Code: Select all

LEFT_H_MOUSE=` xmodmap -pp | grep -E "[ 0-9][^a-z]$" | sed -e 's/ *\([0-9]*\) *\([0-9]*\)/\2/' | head -n 1`

and see if this helps. At least it does it for me.

thanks bigpup,

A user of the italianpuppy.org forum is reporting a possible bug regarding tahr puppy in full install in ext4 partition. After a blackout power failure at first reboot there is a kernel panic. Subsequent reboots are successfull. Can someone who is using the full install confirm this bug?

[bigpup]

After a blackout power failure

That looks a lot like an improper shutdown.
Those can cause anything to happen.

Subsequent reboots are successful.

Looks to me like the boot process figured out what was wrong and corrected.

In terminal mode: dmesg | grep udevd
shows 2 script errors. GOTO... and NAME...

[666philb]

thanks wyzguy,

installing utopics libgphoto fixes one error although may mess up gphoto2 http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/m ... 4_i386.deb

NAME "%k" is ignored, because it breaks kernel supplied names, please remove it

seems it just needs removing.... it's being ignored anyway

Here is a how to on how to fix a bug.

I finally got around to trying out 666philb 's proposed replacements for parcellite

can you see if these two other clipboard managers have the same problem

http://smokey01.com/carolina/old_packag ... -2.3.0.pet

and can report that copyq-2.3.0 does an excellent job. After enabling (2) Store text selected using mouse and (3) Paste clipboard with mouse in Preferences > General (and removing Parcellite with Remove built-in packages in the Setup menu) problems were solved.

Opera 12.16 performed copy and paste with the mouse without crashing and Textmaker-696 can now transfer text with the mouse button as well.

hi linuxcbon

the first errors i can't fix .... see barrys post here http://bkhome.org/news/?viewDetailed=00090

the second errors should be fixed by installing the servicepack (you should get a prompt about it when you open the PPM)

[wyzguy]

A "cat /tmp/xerrs.log" shows a few errors at the end of the list, including
utf8.pm.

I did do a 'update quickpet' and a reboot first.

I do not have the devx installed.

[Semme]

So far, so good --Nice job boys.

Save to usb goes OK, then frozen mouse after boot >> NumLock(9) light's on. There a fix?

Ah, I'll try the fixes if I can get to'm..

PS - Would be appropriate to have a little "readme" here.

Quickpet->Info->Tahrpup bug fixes

From first post in topic

updates & bugfixes
If you open Quickpet you'll see a 'tahrpup bug fixes' button. As bugs are discovered and fixed, clicking on this button will install all the latest fixes, so it's a good idea to check this regularly.
After numerous fixes, they'll all be combined into a puppy service pack. when a service pack is available, you'll be prompted about it automatically when you open the puppy package manager.

[Semme]

Thanks. I may have to make a fresh save, but no biggie.. I've got almost no time invested.

[Semme]

Fixed. The answer on the "first-run" settings page. Time to explore a few of these Boot/Event manager settings..

[666philb]

hi semme,

some older equipment can have problems with the newer kernels ..... you could try the 3.4.103
quickpet>>>>changing kernels
or grab it here http://ftp.nluug.nl/ibiblio/distributio ... r/kernels/

[666philb]

Maybe there is a wl package for Tahr?

Any followup on this?

thanks ... uploaded to ibiblio and added link on tahrpup 1st post

[Semme]

I really only sorted the numlock thingy last night, though I've been thinking I'd make time to run and test Tahr in the evenings when things around here are more soothing. Since I chose the no-PAE iso, I'm gonna take you up on that after running the standard kernel for a few days. Thanks. I'll keep you posted..

[don570]

I tested the latest daily build of Audacity on Tahrpup 6.0

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=97038

Only one bug found so far.
