Here's hardinfo hardware information, I edited the source code and renamed/repeated most of the icons so it would reduce the amount of icons needed, it went from 236kb in icons to 20kb in icons and still looks good

Some feedback once again:

1. clarf's suggestion to do

Code: Select all

export LC_ALL=C

eliminates the GTK and GDK warnings "locale not supported by C lib" certainly for xsane, gtkam and gtkhash but only while I am in terminal. If I go out of terminal and then back in and "gtkhash" for example the error messages return.

I tried adding "export LC_ALL=C" to /root/.initrc as suggested by MHHT but that didn't work. So I guess the question is where can it go to be persistent. Also I checked that /etc/profile line 73 had

Code: Select all

 LANG=en_GB

which it did.

2. Even with this in terminal I get a further error message with gtkhash

gtk-warning: failed to set property gtk toolbar.icon-size to GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR. could not parse integer.

3. As MHHT reported the change to /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc resolves a lot of the issues with jwm_config_mngr

ttuuxxx;
Just installed HardInfo, and the Xfburn/Ristretto/Screenshot trio and all are working. Many thanks.

We now have two inserts in Menu>Graphics namely
"Screenshot" and "Take Screenshot".
Can I assume if you are going to keep both then you will rename them to ident them easier.
eg Simple and Advanced Screenshot or Even Screenshot-mtpaint.

Cheers
Dave

Bonjour à tous,

Hello ttuxxx,
Just installed HardInfo, and the Xfburn/Ristretto/Screenshot trio but there is one problem with ristretto, see picture below. I'm with the fr-FR locale.
Thank you for that version.

Bonjour esmourguit:
Go'day ttuuxx:

Yes I have the same error message when I run Ristretto from terminal. Well not as verbose; it just says

DEBUG: xfdesktop is not running

I am running locale=en_UK.
However it seems to work okay either from the terminal or Menu.

davesurrey, I don´t understand your post. You could make it persistent or not?.

I must clarify that any environment variable could be set in /etc/profile and it makes changes persistent, in this file you must change your LANG=en_GB to LANG=C or LANG=POSIX. Excuse me if I wasn´t clear enough before...

You can check your actual locale for each format setting using:

Code: Select all

locale

For supported localization use:

Code: Select all

locale -a

You also can check all your environment setting using:

Code: Select all

set

Hi probably you didn't restart x-server, because that will start dbus, or you could click on /root/.xinitrc and that will start it also.
and the second message is to be ignored because xfce isn't running, jwm is, Its the way I hacked them together so we wouldn't be stuck using xfce, just there programs, its better that way

well for size and resources, ristretto even had thunar as a dependency and that is very large, So I only used the lib from it.

Sorry clarf, no I couldn't.
I did say

If I go out of terminal and then back in and "gtkhash" for example the error messages return.

but I can see it might not have been clear what followed.

Anyway now that I understand what needs to be put in /etc/profile I have changed line 73 to "LANG=C" in place of LANG=en_GB and it is persistent.

Thank you for your help.
Much appreciated.
cheers
Dave

Hi ttuuxxx,
Yes the new screenshot app is much nicer. I agree, it doesn't need two of them!!

Hello, all!
Sorry, for my outcry with joy, a bit prematurely perhaps, that the 'C'-fallback-error-message-thingy-bug had vanished

. Upon reboot, there it was again. Have tried now to make it foolproof, so as to always have LANG=C set in /etc/profile, as well as exported.
This is what I now put in .xinitrc, which ensures that LANG is set back to (and exported as) C, even if locale is set with the chooselocale-script, or otherwise entered in /etc/profile (nicked it from chooselocale, modified it slightly). Insert before #exec $CURRENTWM in /root/.xinitrc:

Code: Select all

# Brute force LANG_profile_workaround/over-rider by MHHP 2009; makes sure that, if a locale is chosen,
# or by other means is set, the choice is overridden and LANG is set back to "C"
LANG_set=`set|grep 'LANG'|grep 'LANG='|cut -f 2 -d '='`
if [ "$LANG_set" != "C" ];then
CURRENTLOCALE="`cat /etc/profile | grep "LANG=" | cut -f 2 -d '=' | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | cut -f 1`"
OLDLANG="LANG=$CURRENTLOCALE"
NEWLANG="LANG=C"
cat /etc/profile | sed -e "s/${OLDLANG}/${NEWLANG}/" > /tmp/profile
sync
cp -f /tmp/profile /etc/profile
rm -rf /tmp/.X0-lock
sync
exec restartwm $CURRENTWM
fi
export LC_ALL=C

It's like disabling chooselocale, while at the same time keeping it for the future, should someone come up with a permanent fix.
This fixes the problem for me but, then again, I never usually set the locale (don't know what it's good for), I just set my keyboard to se, and the timezone to +1, and then I feel localised

.
Don't know if this is any help for users that need to set the locale, though

.

cheers/

I've been following the forums advice, but also been adding locales to my system, 15MB compressed, lol utf8 etc
also I've ported puppy 4 series chooselocale script and matching files.
and so far this is how far I got. If I can figure out "LC_ALL="
then it would be good to go.

ok now I have it so that it sets everything to C local but the LANG=en_AU gets changed when I change it with the language selector.
That works pretty good. Still get a fallback C warning.
ttuuxxx
PS I did the C change by adding to the root/.bashrc

#. /etc/profile
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
alias mkdir='mkdir -p'
alias dir='ls'
export LC_ALL=C
#v1.0.5 need to override TERM setting in /etc/profile...
#export TERM=xterm
# ...v2.13 removed.

#export HISTFILESIZE=2000
#export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups
#...v2.13 removed.

Hi ttuuxxx, just for the record I tested XFCE-trio.pet.

I have some problems with ristretto.

After restart x-server I can use ristretto, open files and directories and view related images. But It crash right after you open a directory or file and click in File - Properties.

attached error.

Thanks clarf, I edited the source code and removed Properties, really its not an actual needed it, so when you open it, there's no 'Properties' to select, lol

Hi Guys I'm trying fixup the loose ends, well basically put the next release together. As for the JWM Config manager, is there anything else I should add to it, I changed the icons and now it looks much better.

Good Idea, the number of virtual desktops wasn't working so I grabbed the script from series 4 and now it is

ttuuxxx

Posted: **Thu 02 Jul 2009, 08:52**

Ok thats done and I removed the restart JWM button, because I added fresh menus as soon as you click ok and also added the fresh menus to all the taskbar applets. So its automated now

I did that to keep the height under control for small screens and also to make it simpler.

Bonjour à tous,
Hello ttuuxxx,
I restarted X and ristretto works OK, with no problem.
Is it possible to get the french (and others) locale files for this little progs if they exist? Thank you.
I would like to say i have no message "locale not supported by C library". I use fr-FR locale. I just have in /etc/profile this line 73 : LANG=fr_FR
