There is a later version of mhwaveedit, I'll upgrade for alpha5.

Will someone please post a link to the Jan 5 version? I haven't seen it and I'm getting confused. I don't know which thread to post my bugs to.raffy wrote:Barry, I've tested the shutting down of alpha4 twice on the eee, always failing - no poweroff or reboot working.
Now, with the Jan 5 version...
Assuming it's a gtk gui you're talking about, then it's a problem with the gtk-theme, so try changing it.capoverde wrote:E.g., try changing the screen resolution this way in Dingo's XVesa wizard window: the chosen value can be clearly seen, as a dot appears in the corresponding button, but then neither the <CHANGE> nor the <OK> button get highlighted or focused to show which is the active one, so the job becomes a hit-or-miss game or guesswork (only the script name inside the text box goes in and out of focus by pressing TAB repeatedly).
The Citrus theme is pretty bad since it's slow... Try running on old HW and changing between that and a different theme and you'll notice a big difference.capoverde wrote:I quite like the Citrus theme of Dingo, and by far prefer it to the other available GTK themes; but its highlighting ought to be more visible.
I forgot to update the initial welcome/menu screen.geneven wrote:I've downloaded something I thought was Alpha 5 twice and it said it was Alpha 4. Am I getting the wrong one?
There isn't much to render in a Rox window (what there is is the mime-types, which are dependent on the Rox-theme, rather than gtk).capoverde wrote:
I'm testing with a K6-II/400; changing from Citrus to any of the other themes I'm unable to detect a quicker response to window opening - maybe my manual test is insufficient: by clicking very quickly twelve times on the "file" (home) icon, with any theme it takes about 0,5 seconds to open the first 2 or 3 windows (about 0,2 sec each), then the subsequent ones open much faster (ten in less than 0,8 sec).
Since puppy3, the filesystem is only loaded into ram if you have more than 256MB of physical ram.While doing this, I notice that Puppy isn't running entirely from RAM as I expected since this PC has 128MB RAM, the HD has a swap partition and there seem to be 186MB free with SeaMonkey and Geany running.
This happens whether or not I give pfix=ram at boot; I've surely missed something.
No, at least No for Dingo, I don't recall about Puppy3, pup_xxx.sfs is copied to ram if there is more than 230000KB (224.6MB) free physical ram. Maybe there are some systems that have 256MB but have less than 224.6MB free at bootup?Dougal wrote:Since puppy3, the filesystem is only loaded into ram if you have more than 256MB of physical ram.While doing this, I notice that Puppy isn't running entirely from RAM as I expected since this PC has 128MB RAM, the HD has a swap partition and there seem to be 186MB free with SeaMonkey and Geany running.

Well, that's kind of nit-picking... Your comment in the script even makes a reference to it being 256MB or above. The point is that when someone with 192MB ram (like me) doesn't get the filesystem in ram (which they used to).BarryK wrote:No, at least No for Dingo, I don't recall about Puppy3, pup_xxx.sfs is copied to ram if there is more than 230000KB (224.6MB) free physical ram.

Nitpicking? I only gave a factual reply to your comment:Dougal wrote:Well, that's kind of nit-picking... Your comment in the script even makes a reference to it being 256MB or above.

which is incorrect for Dingo.Since puppy3, the filesystem is only loaded into ram if you have more than 256MB of physical ram.
