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.

Hi. In the first help screen the screen-caps are still "Citrus Themed"

so here's some new ones. y'all have good day.

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.

rerwin,

This is just to add to the data to help in solving the problem
you described.

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.

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

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.

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 Smile
