I changed nothing!

But is that a regular ramdisk, when/where does that get created? is it specified as a kernel argument?

Hi Dry Falls

My scripts need much newer version of yad, jlh currently has version 18! Here is version 37 for 64bit.

Also after running xorgwizard a couple of times ~/.flsynclient config file either disappeared or had permissions changed and wouldn't load until I put in ~/Startup a file with contents

There is another bug in there somewhere. I use UK keyboard. When I use the mouse/keyboard wizard to change to UK layout it works fine. But after restarting X r reboot it reverts to US layout. Which file stores this value?

cheers

Firewallstate keeps popping up using cpu-cycles in Conky window even though I have turned it off and requested removal via right-click on taskbar icon.

System is pristine, excepting for a SeaMonkey install via GSlap

Anyone else seeing this behavior.

@Stemsee: From lighthouse look & feel (setup icon in ~/Desktop), or wizardwizard mouse/keyboard... pick uk
changes written to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

[gcmartin]

Recap: I had right-clicked to get icon's menu where I select Firewall On/Off/Remove.

• First, I chose to Firewall-off where it turns icon Red on taskbar.
  
• Then I chose Firewall-Remove.
  Note: The taskbar icon remains (in prior versions/PUPs, it disappeared from the taskbar)

If I understand, correctly, you suggest that a desktop restart is required to have all traces of firewallstate out of the active system. But, upon my restarting X desktop, the process firewallstate continues in the system (The taskbar icon is no longer visable now). Conky's process list still shows it using about 0.51%.

This is a DVD pristine boot and not rebooted/session-save at this point in time on this X2 desktop.

Not a show-stopper, though.

Update: Exiting desktop to the prompt and running top, I cannot find "firewallstart", yet on each subsequent restart it shows up. Thus it is buried in the restart desktop procedures somewhere; ignoring the "removal" that was selected.

So, I exited the desktop again; Ctrl-Alt-F3 to another virtual terminal and restated the desktop from there. Observed the firewallstate in Conky again. I jumped to the 1st virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1) where top is running and now I can see the firewallstate. This time I "killed" the process and return to view Conky. It is now REMOVED.

Hope this clarifies what have been observed. This may be considered a bug.

@ gc, What can I say? I just did this 4 times (once in ram - new session). All you really need to do is rightclick the bottom 'quit & exit) and look under the bonnet (whoops - still in UK speech), that is, lxtask or the like and voila! no entry for firewall. Before you restart...

All files had the correct entries for uk keyboard but still '@' and '"' were reversed until 'uk' re-selected using mouse/keyboard wizard. So there must be something else maybe in /var if not /tmp or /run.

So, I will try to come up with a config file that gets applied from ~/Startup. Might take some time to figure out the commandline codes!!

[ally]

has the same problem in slacko 6.3

changed 'gb' to 'uk' in xbd/layouts and 'us' to 'uk' in xorg.conf.d

[stemsee]

Hi ally

Do you mean changing 'gb' tp 'uk' was the solution?

[ally]

yes

I stumbled around in the dark after reporting on the slacko thread without success and struck gold, very pleased with myself I was too!

[Dry Falls]

Thanks also, ally.

here's a pet that might help (change made to ~/.xinitrc and /usr/sbin/countrywizardjs
also fix in /etc/profile which cleans up dialog box fonts.

Also, last YAD pet is fixed here.
