I have confirmed this. 'xset' will not blank the screen. I have no idea why. There is no error message, it just doesn't work.broomdodger wrote:Wary 5.2 frugal
pupX set properties of X > Screensaver
Usually I disable the screen saver,
but just now enabled it for a short delay,
and 'blank the screen'.
It did not happen !
I tried it with no apps running.
Is it broken?
You are reporting on InkscapeLite?Keef wrote:As don570 said - a row of triangle like shapes appear over the ruler as the mouse is moved (following the pointer), They go if the window is resized or loses focus, but return once the mouse moves again. Some artifacts down the left hand side too, though less noticeable. Definitely following the mouse movements though.

I have increased the limit. There is a limit due to the way 'pupdialog' works, but I have made it higher, should be ok now for everyone.jduffy22335 wrote:Wary Puppy 5.2 final (October 14)
It seems to have a limit of18-20 current version SFS in /mnt/home then you get the error.
SeaMonkey 2.3.x is incredibly big. It bothers me that I am using SM in Wary, that is intended for old hardware. I might take a fresh look at an alternative browser, even though I will have to sacrifice Composer.Flash wrote:My attempt to update the multisession 5.2 beta 2 Blu-Ray to 5.2 final fell flat, pardon the alliteration. I told Burniso2cd to burn the 5.2 final iso to the multisession BD-RE disk without blanking the disk first. After Burniso2cd was done, I shut down, saving to the newly burned BD-RE disk. This has always worked with rewritable multisession DVDs. But when I rebooted, somehow it loaded the .sfs file from an earlier Puppy, one I don't remember burning onto this BD-RE. Naturally that combination didn't work very well, though it did work well enough for me to use Pburn and Burniso2cd. So I wound up blanking the BD-RE with Pburn and reburning the 5.2 final iso again with Burniso2cd. This time it worked, except of course all my settings from configuring the 5.2 beta 2 were lost.
My only complaint so far is with SeaMonkey. Web pages load slowly and scroll very jerkily. Also the CPU load indicator (on the right end of the system tray) maxes out sometimes when I have many tabs open. Then things really slow down. This hasn't happened in most other Puppys I've tried. I haven't the slightest idea what to try that might fix this.
The problem is, every time that I recompile GTK, the bug comes back. The "solution" was worked out by pizzasgood, which was to have --enable-debug when configuring one of the GTK source packages (I can't recall which one right now). The downside is that it made the GTK library considerably bigger.Shep wrote:Had it ever gone away?rodin.s wrote:Old bug is back. Insert key kills Seamonkey while writing a message.
My solution is to reassign the Insert key. See http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=69175
The best workaround would be to set it so that the Insert key does nothing except in combination, e.g., Ctrl-Insert, or Shift-Insert but the best I could manage was to set it to become a second Backspace key.
I just now tested remove_builtin, I removed 'axel', works for me.esmourguit wrote:Bonjour à tous,

Only the Ctrl+Alt+Return then xwin allows me to return to desktop.

Thanks for that, I have put it into /etc/rc.d/rc.updateupnorth wrote:Managed to upgrade 5.1.4.1 to 5.2 but the following needed to be run manually from cli to fix breakage:
rm /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders >/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
This is now fully functional and fast
It did seem to reassign, though, did it?BarryK wrote:Hmmm, I just tried the xmodmap workaround, reassigned Insert key as BackSpace -- then started geany and Insert key worked as before!

Well, it only occurs for some people, as in live-CD and frugal installation modes, a tmpfs is mounted on /tmp, which has 777 permission (group and world writable).davids45 wrote:1) as installed, both Full & Frugal tried, the /tmp directory write permissions being set by default to "off" prevent Cups from letting my fujixerox colour laser print. Changing the permissions to "write" for Group and World lets me use the printer. Thanks to rcrsn51 for his help in sorting this out for me. So this is sort-of a "Solved" or "Soluble" bug.
Would it be better in /etc/rc.d/rc.update? Full installs suffer the 755 permissions on /tmp too.BarryK wrote: I did set 777 to rootfs-skeleton/tmp (and var), but the build in sandbox3/rootfs-complete has lost that, become 755.
So, I have placed a couple of lines in the build script, 3builddistro, that changes tmp and var back to 777.

...Willing to try your suggestion, but I'd point out that this is the first time I've ever booted Wary, so there can't be any previous Wary savefile on the system. There are, however, various save files from Puppy 4.3.1, lupu, and Slacko.Terryphi wrote: The problem you describe has been seen when using a savefile from a previous version of Wary. If you are using a previous savefile then this solution worked for me:
From the terminal run these two commands:
rm /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders >/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
When you reboot all should be as expected.
Which is true. However, I also have an ATI X1550 display adapter installed in the AGP slot. And my understanding is that insertion of the adapter disables the on-board chip...your computer has a 82865G Integrated graphics controller.
That's probably not good, and may explain some of my configuration and display problems...X is currently using the intel driver for this chip

Strange things happen with playlists, they change after quiting pmusic and restarting!
I went back to wary 5.1.4.1 and did all the same initialization to pmusic 1.8.3 and the playlists seem stable.
The following is some info I could gather:
" -------1---------2---------3---------4---------5---------6----
wary 5.2
pmusic 2.1.8 also 2.1.9
+ index
+ add jazz to playlist 1 (5 pieces)
+ add classical to playlist 2 (3 pieces)
+ add rock to playlist 3 (4 pieces)
! all play ok
quit pmusic
restart pmusic
playlists have changed! Playlist 1 is now Playlist 2.
Could this have something to do with the newer gtkdialog or ffmpeg in wary 5.2?
