I'm trying to download something someone posted on Rapidshare. I am getting this error when trying to download it in Seamonkey.

There is not enough room on the disk to save /tmp/qrvc60va.bin

Remove unnecessary files from the disk and try again, or try saving in a different location.

I know this can't be true. I just created a new 1.25 Gigabyte pupfile.

Umm,...isn't /tmp in physical ram, rather than in the savefile? Have you tried saving to a mounted partition, e.g. /mnt/sda1...?

[jcagle]

It wouldn't let me pick where to save it.

Anyway, I'm not having this problem in Firefox.

[Sit Heel Speak]

Edit-->Preferences-->Downloads-->tell it where.

Or, do you mean, Firefox lets you download to /tmp, but Seamonkey doesn't?

[jcagle]

Firefox is downloading to the /root directory.

Seamonkey is downloading to /tmp . I like Firefox better anyway. Seamonkey won't load Facebook right.

[Sit Heel Speak]

Well, I wouldn't know, I don't use Facebook.

Ttuuxxx has recently made something called Firepup, a very fast Firefox.

However, when using an SMP 2.6.27.2 kernel in Puppy 4.1, on my rig, the speed difference between Firepup and bog-standard SM 1.1.13 is not very much.

I do know that Seamonkey will not let me send in the new, improved Hotmail, unless I go into about:config and change

general.useragent.extra.Seamonkey

to read

Firefox/2.0 really Seamonkey/1.1.13

Anyhow, glad it's working for you now. Welcome back.

Thanks. I was in Ubuntu land for a while, but 8.10 was causing some problems for me, and I kind of want to get back to work on my own Puppy-based distro. This one also supports my wireless on my laptop out of the box where Ubuntu doesn't.

[Sit Heel Speak]

Yeah, the newer kernels have dramatically increased the variety of wireless cards they include support for.

I'm one of those microwave-sensitive tinfoil-hat-wearers though. I don't do wireless. I even moved out to a remote mountain area, where even the cellphone signal is iffy, to stop the constant ringing in my ears.

[jcagle]

Haha, I understand that, I guess.

Now, if I could only get horizontal and vertical scrolling turned off on my touch pad in Puppy 4.1.1...until then, I'm using my USB mouse, and as a graphic designer, when I'm doing work, the mouse works better for me anyway.

[Sit Heel Speak]

Dunno. My wild guess would be it's a Synaptics entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but I don't have a touchpad. Perhaps if you lsmod and identify the touchpad driver, then rmmod to remove it. Uh, be careful though, I don't know whether our kernels have rmmod support.

Anyhow, bedtime here. I affirm someone wiser will answer you aptly in the other thread. G'Night.

[jcagle]

Yeah, I checked that file. There was nothing in that file.

[jcagle]

Never mind that. Apparently I opened the wrong file.

The chat and notifications in the bottom right hand corner of Facebook do not show up in Seamonkey.

Other than that, it loads fine. But I use that chat a lot on Facebook.
