glade-3.desktop has an incorrect icon entry
It is missing the .png file extension. In addition the icon's current location at /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps is not in the jwm icon path.
either
the desktop file needs the full icon path
or
the icon needs to be copied somewhere in the icon path
or
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps needs adding to the icon path in /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc
I notice that $HOME/.icons has been removed from the icon path. Surely this is a sensible place to encourage users to customise their icons.
/bin/vi
Please change this so that it actually invokes some sort of editor. So that when you click on a text file in rox that doesn't have a defined mime handler you actually get to see the contents of the file. Obviously this mechanism needs to be sensitive to the fact that X may not be running when vi is called.

New partition/drive icons omit DVDROM Subject description: Shows DVDRW as DVD, but nothing for slave DVDROM/Combo drive |
|
I have added a Lite-On Combo SOHC-5232K DVD-ROM/CDRW drive as slave, to the master Lite-On DVDRW LDW 851S. Those are the names Pmount displays for them, as hdd and hdc, respectively.
The only DVD device in /dev is "DVD", which seems vague. Should there also be a DVDROM, at least (since CD/RWs are linked as "CDROM")? The icons include only one "DVD", linked to hdc.
I plan to use the new drive for on-the-fly copying of video DVDs. I assume pburn can handle that. It does show both hdc and hdd as a candidate devices.
Also, and I think it has already been reported, if you use a hard-drive icon to mount an NTFS partition, you cannot write to the partition, even though there are indications that it is mounted read-write. Using Pmount instead does permit writing to it.

read / write from home icon |

rerwin,
This is just to add to the data to help in solving the problem
you described.
>Also, and I think it has already been reported, if you use a
>hard-drive icon to mount an NTFS partition, you cannot write
>to the partition, even though there are indications that it is

After reading your post I did the following:
1. Clicked on the home icon
2. Opened menu.lst and changed the default, closed & saved
3. Reboot - went to the new selection
I am running off a single 16G NTFS HD.
This seems to conflict with your data. Perhaps the fact that it is
my boot disk is saving me. Beats me.
Hope this helps someone.
GeoW
EDIT
I later realized that this was not a good test because my home
directory was already mounted before I clicked on the icon.
I reran the test after booting with pfix=ram - same result.
The one remaining difference is that rerwin refers to an NTFS
partition while I have an NTFS disk. I cannot check that.
No -that is not true. Since I am running a frugal install off the
hard disk, it has been opened during the boot process even
though the icon indicates it is not currently open.
I would need to burn a cd and boot from that to test this aspect.

If I set the boot manager to do "super fast boot" my sound system comes up with the pcm channel zeroed and muted.
I have confirmed this is not caused by absvolume.
Starting sgmixer re-enables the sound. I was curious why Code: | # sgmixer --help
Usage: sgmixer [--minimized] [--read-from-mixer]
--minimized start minimized
--read-from-mixer read channel settings from mixer, not from config
| sgmixer stores its own version of the sound channel state and reads this by default on startup. This is helpful for fixing the above problem but could be considered irritating if you had used a different mixer to make sound adjustments.
Whilst I appreciate that "super fast boot" is probably going to have issues in some cases the warning that it gives just concerns changing hardware. This might be a hard one for some people to track down if they can't make the connection.
Super fast boot doesn't seem to save more than a couple of seconds on my laptop so I wonder if it is worth the grief.
Does anyone else have a similar problem?

One thing that would help is if all the redundant commented out code were removed. I have limited experience and I gave up trying to understand the script because of all the redundant lines.
Just my view - I don't have the skills to work on this seriously.

Hi,
My laptop, sometimes, crashes when I select to reboot, shutdown or exit to prompt. The problem appears in frugal and full installation on internal hard drive. I didn't have this problem with puppy 3.01. My graphic card is intel 915gm. In xorg.conf the correct driver (intel) is selected but the module i915 is not loaded.

I must run
modprobe ehci_hcd
in a console or from /etc/rc.local, or my external USB-harddrive with attached mouse is not usable.
This was the same in Puppy 3, so I added this command to the startup-files of Muppy.

Update on the invisible volume control:
Quote: |
* No tray volume control
There is a blank placeholder in the tray, but no speaker icon. I went through the ALSA wizard twice, selecting the same things I do every time. My jwmrc-tray file has no volume control in it, but the process is running. I don't, however, have any sound. I normally probe for legacy cards and select ES18xx. I have an onboard ES1869. |
I was using the "super fast boot" option. When I disabled it, the volume control magically reappeared. NOTE: This did not happen in Puppy 3.98. The tray volume control was always there.

2. I don't think the default flash version 9.0.48.0 does fullscreen.
I tried patching jwm so that I could at least get a stand alone maximiseable window and upgraded flash using the 9.0.124.0. It worked but only at about 5-10 frames a second . I also tried flash 9.0.115.0 with the same result.
I'm not sure if the X server has an effect on this. I tried using the xorg vesa driver and also Xvesa

Run PETget, choose 'qt4' package if you want to run Qt4 appliations.
Run PETget, choose 'xorg_xorg_dri' package to add DRI and extra GL functionality. However, it is currently missing the r200_dri.so module -- I have just added that, will be updated on ibiblio soon.
Pmirror is maintained by zigbert. I sent a pm to him about it.

HairyWill,
I think that the version of Xorg 7.3 in Dingo is not the best. There were some reports that 7.2 is better in some respects. I haven't investigated this in depth. I'll probably do an upgrade to a later Xorg for Puppy 4.1.
In fact, I intend to upgrade lots of packages for 4.1.

In seamonkey Flash can do full screen with dailymotion.com but not with youtube.
I guess qtconfig,qtdemo, lrelease, lupdate, linguits shouldnt be there if there is no qt4.
I will try xorg_xorg_dri tomorrow
