Yep. That's a long-standing JWM issue. I'll have a look and see if I can organise a workaround using XDG menus.

Yep, seems that peeps love their Puppy variants. Servage currently let me hit 110GB in one day which is astounding to think that much was downloaded in 24 hrs. (actually less than 24 hrs & tickets have been submitted on that issue.) :?: Still when MU's site & mine both go over the limit, which happens... that's 200+GB. :shock:

We both accept donations though. :D

I read some on the Bandwidth problems and thought this might help
I uploaded puppy-215CE-RC2-Standard and the extra sfs files to MiHD.net Just Click where it says request download link then click download link

puppy-215CE-RC2-Standard.iso
OOo_215.sfs
web_215.sfs
fltkc++_215.sfs

Maybe this will help in any case it's free 8)

The best way, if you want to start with a full setup, is to download the iso and sfs files, then use Isomaster to add the sfs files to the iso. Then burn the iso to CD-R. Everything should then be available on the CD for next boot. 8)
After several false starts I finally added the web.sfs and pgs.sfs files to the Puppy 215CE iso and burned a multisession DVD+RW with the super-sized (~250 MB) "Graphics" iso. The DVD boots, saves and reboots with the saved settings. I can see them when I mount the DVD, but I don't know if the extra sfs files are doing anything. .

I must say, SeaMonkey's download manager seems to be a waste of pixels. It must be either buggy or misconfigured somehow. The first time I tried to download the sfs files, the download manager reported "finished" even though, as it turned out, each file had only about 22 MB. I didn't realize the files were incomplete until I had wasted about an hour trying to make a new iso with them using ISOmaster. I guess it's a good thing ISOmaster would not work with incomplete files. (I know, I should have used wget, and checked the md5 sums. :lol: )

ISOmaster took a while to figure out but not too long. It would have been faster if the sfs files had been downloaded correctly. When ISOmaster wouldn't save the iso I had made with them, I started poking around and discovered the files were incomplete. I was careful not to do anything else with the computer while they downloaded the second time, and they both downloaded completely. Maybe SeaMonkey's download manager is somehow counting every packet received as going to the download, so if you're browsing the internet while you're downloading, the download manager comes to the wrong total. That's just a wild-ass guess.

I booted the new "Graphics" DVD+RW I burned, changed a few things, shut down saving to the DVD, and booted again. The saved settings were remembered, but I don't know how to tell if the sfs files are correctly "installed" and useable. How can I tell?

Yep. If you included the pgs_215.sfs, then you should be able to type gimp in a console and have it run. That will show it is there and mounted. We're still trying to work out why the menu system updates on Pizzasgood's machine but not on mine, or yours evidently.

I'm presuming you don't have Gimp in your graphics menu ... you don't, do you? Go to a console and type fixmenus, then restart Icewm to see if the menu is updated with either an Office menu or the addition of graphics programs to the graphics menu.

You can test the web_215.sfs by typing firefox in a console, too.

Shortcuts for the programs in the sfs files are in /usr/local/bin and should be able to be dragged to the desktop and run from there until we get the menu's behaving nicely.

Hope that helps.

Good news, bad news, and ugly news regarding web_215.sfs (the current one is actually a beta/rc, just as the ISO is).

Good: I've already replaced NVU with KompoZer (no, not dependent on KDElephant, just a bug-fixed version of NVU)

Bad: Flash was still buggy. I fixed a big error I made, but it didn't change anything. If you try leaving a page while flash is running, Firefox locks up (open a terminal and use killall firefox; killall firefox-bin

Ugly: The Flash problem isn't my fault, as far as I can see. Something is different in 2.15, because it works fine in vanilla Pizzapup 3.0 and vanilla Puppy 2.14.

I'll try figuring out the difference tomorrow. Right now I need to put my bed back together so I can sleep.

That is great news. Most people are happy with Composer. I usually download NVU (it is the simplest .pup) but Komposer is the latest

Using Komposer might inspire improvements to the Viz offline Webpage here:

WhoDo wrote:Standard Edition RC2 + web_215.sfs + devx_215.sfs + fltkc++_215.sfs = Developer Edition
So where should I find the devx_215.sfs file?

I have searched the forum for its location, including looking at http://www.puppyos.net/test/ which shows devx_214.sfs.

devx_215.sfs is also not present at the locations of the other sfs files mentioned.

Thanks

Is the fltkc++_215.sfs file missing a directory level or something? It's loading on my system but putting a lot of files straight into the top level / directory.

Changing the subject; the CE homepage file doesn't have all of the links from original home page and for those that want to change back to file:///root/puppy-reference/doc/home.htm, it's now missing some of it's images.

One more thing, why not turn on SeaMonkey's splash screen as Nathan suggested a while ago, it's a simple edit of the 2nd to last line in /usr/local/bin/mozstart file:
exec /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin -splash $COMTAIL
(always appears to load faster when somethings happening)

I find the Venerable modern theme in Seamonkey a bit dark for my personal tastes but it's simple enough to change.

I had one somewhere, but can't put my hands on it at the moment. Pizzasgood will have the complete list, but I can tell you that the current version includes:

Code: Select all

Firefox 2.0.0.3
Thunderbird 1.5.10(?)
Java Runtime (check version)
Flash 9
Nvu (to be replaced by Kompozer)
Azureus
Bluefish
There may be others but that's the majority of the contents.

Cheers

Thanks Warren :)

Java Runtime is 1.5.0_11

Do not forget to turn it on (for those trying). It is under preferences / advanced in Seamonkey

then refresh and test here

Just a quick note before going to bed.

I've run RC2 for a while, trying this and that, and it seems nicely stable.

Confirming that gaim2 is definitely the executable for the IM client, and that performs flawlessly.

On doing an "upgrade" on the save file where I worked on the JWM switching, my scripting worked well.
I notice the righthand end of the taskbar on JWM uses the ice icons and layout, open and close arrows, etc.
Nice touch that :)

Image

It takes significantly longer for the JWM switch to take effect, compared with RC1.
The other direction seems about the same, and here we drop the X server after all.

Laterz all
