Weird. Some time back and Barry had a quirk where when libre office was started the first time you couldn't save, but closing that save dialog and starting save again for the second (and subsequent) time(s) and it was fine.

Had the exact same when building a voidlinux today. Oddly, if I install all packages in a block Libre is fine, installed piecemeal however, one by one, and Libre has the first run of save doesn't work problem.

Not a issue for me as I've just opted go with the block install method (which in voidlinux that uses xbps package manger ...

Code: Select all

xbps-install -y linux4.19 base-system shadow xorg xinit xbitmaps \

Finally SeaMonkey 2.49.5 has arrived!

The Linux From Scratch guys have figured out patches for it:

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/vi ... onkey.html

But I am still getting a compile failure.

How many patches are you adding, i've got 113 available as of last night, do you want them? Some won't be relevant to us of course, as this is across all linux platforms, but a lot are.

You are building with both gtk2 and gtk3 installed I take it. It's sort of why I haven't had a go at it.

I also see they have firefox 69.0 there, not bad with only 30 patches, might have a go at building that.

Barry, another problem for you I fear.

I use 4 desktops, a for active tasks, b for local on-system background stuff (logbook, diary, etc.), c is communications programs, d for development work. Been doing it this way for decades (~early ';70's), so it's sort of automatic.

If I load all of them up with working programs (even if only loaded up and not doing or running things), i'm finding the desktop controls are sometimes loosing focus after the fourth is 'loaded' (in any order), can't swap windows, mouse does nothing, keyboard sort of works though (both keyboard and mouse are wired usb). Have to <ctl><alt><F1> and stop the x server (<ctl><alt><Fx> seems to be about the only thing still working properly), then shutdown and start again from 'cold', a reboot or xwin will allow it to come up again, but control is not properly regained for either the mouse or keyboard. Not every time of course, that would be too easy to track, but as many times as not, looks like there is a xserver problem somewhere.

Perhaps it helps in Default Applications Chooser
to set Media Player at gnomempvshell then save.

Right-click on drive icon sr0 to eject & open the tray.

Regards.
thanks, but i've already tried that, no-go. I also started again with the same result, I do like the debian buster xine though and it's plugins, better than oe's was, so i'm keeping that one.

@barryK, thought i'd note that the problems i've listed all relate to EasyOS Buster 2.1.1, EasyOS 1.2 is behaving beautifully so far. I'm about to try it's patience with a bit of building though.

I obtained several patches from Fedora, doing a compile right now. Will document it if succeed.

Default sound setting 60% too low at boot up. Onboard speakers on monitors too pathetic to hear the woofwoof and don't switch into wifi until ready to d/l, stream, w.h.y. Neither is the tray icon available before set-up complete and restartX, so cannot adjust volume until it's too late!

[ejazjv - not sure what your native script is Cyrillic? Arabic? Hindi? but the originator of Puppy is BARRY not berry. I think this has been mentioned previously.Hope you have the 'a' symbol on your keyboard, as in lap, wake and blank.]

Non-working pupRadio buttons

black screen on laptop

#1796 Post by lp-dolittle »

@ ejazjv

on a Dell-laptop, I can reproduce your 'black screen' problem.

There seems to exist a 'workaround'. When I repeatedly close and reopen the laptop, the desktop reappears for a short instant but just turns black again. After I noticed that the laptop's power button continues blinking constantly, I pressed this button for a short moment (less than the 4 seconds needed for the poweroff); and the desktop returns permanently and, as it seems, fully functional.

I hope this information helps resolve your issue

kind regards

Running voidlinux at present (built using wiaks scripts), and I like its zzz suspend command. My laptop display turns off when the lid is near closed by default, but the system continues working. Which is a feature I like as sometimes I want it to continue working whilst being carried around with the lid closed. Manually having to type zzz to suspend is great as it can be suspended with the lid open or closed. Pressing enter results in ...yawn! closure of zzz and resuming as before being suspended. In short, manual control is better than automated IMO.

Expect Pyro 1.2.3 and Buster 2.1.3 in a day or two.

I have been chasing down bugs, see latest post:

Re: defaults-changer

#1800 Post by BarryK »

scsijon wrote:By the way, i've noticed in /tmp/xerrs.log that the defaults-changer script is issuing an error each time it's run

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/defaults-changer: line55: shift: shift count out of range
default (****) changed to (****)... Bye xxx
each time it's run, not sure why though.
EDIT: btw the (****) lines are appearing for each of the default applications so it's doing it a number of times, not once.
It is the 'defaults-chooser' PET, originally created by sc0ttman and last updated in 2014 by shinobar, version 0.9.

I found three bugs in it, fixed, There was that shift out of range, also a syntax error when ran 'which'utility, and /usr/local/bin/defaultimageeditor is a symlink to defaultpaint which causes an error.

Bumped to version 0.9.1, will upload the PET soon.

Re: rox-filer dissapearing ?bug?

#1801 Post by BarryK »

scsijon wrote:I'm getting the rox-filer dissapearing when changing windows without reason or message.

Something along the lines like>
I created a directory in the current window;
opened geany to create a file, saved file;
changed window to do something else in another window;
switched back to the first and geany is still there, but the rox-filer has dissapeared, it's not in a different window either, nore is there something in xerrs.log or any of the other log files either.

If it was once I would take it it's me, but it's repeating.

Only extra I have loaded is the devx too, so the system shouldn't be overloaded.

EDIT: It's only the rox-filer that's behaving like this for me and i've tried quite a few other apps
I tried various things as you described, I can't get rox to disappear.

If rox actually crashed, you would lose all the desktop icons and wallpaper, and just have a black screen, with jwm still running at bottom of screen.

That should be enough for tonight, :-)

I'll do some further bug hunting tomorrow.
Yeah, I want to do a major review of network control. Would like to use the network-manager-applet, but have to fix some issues with it first.

Will probably have to schedule that one for release-after-next.

It is working for me. What xorg video driver are you using? In my case it is Intel graphics chip and the xorg modesetting driver.

There is a problem with the tray opening then immediately closing. This is due to how dvd/cd media insertion is now detected, using a udev rule and a daemon. I posted something about that recently, on the blog, that udev thing.

If we went back to the old way of probing the optical drive, the way it was done in Puppy prior to udev, this issue would be fixed.

There have been issues before with multiple desktops, the problem is with jwm I think. I could try the latest version of jwm. Might schedule that for release-after-next also.
