Hmmm ...

@WhoDo

My apologies ... It has always slipped my mind to ask you to update the acpid scripts previously. If it's not too late, could you kindly update the restart/poweroff scripts with this pet ?

It contains everything and the fixed poweroff script that also works outside of X ... You can further reduce the size by deleting the man pages ...

@ttuuxxx @WhoDo

Any chance of including Tilda - a drop-down terminal console in 4.20?
I've been playing about with it in Woof Alpha 3 dPup, where I installed it no problem. Makes a nice addition to and plays well in Puppy. It's not big either, so it may be possible to include it in final.

If not, a pet package for the repo would be fine too.

Thanks

Strange way of doing things and I don't know why this happens so.
But at least my sda1 ntfs partition isn't exposed anymore.

Yep, Barry's event manager copies the drive icon locations to /root/Choices/PuppyPin so they display. If you reboot later and the drives no longer exist, you'll get broken links that must be removed. If the drives DO exist it takes event manager a few seconds to update PuppyPin and display the new drive condition (yellow dot, green dot or no dot). That's what you experienced.

Glad your system is doing what you expected now.

I am still not getting far with Claws mail. Can't get SMTP Gmail to work. Tried all combinations of recommended ports and SSL/TLS but still no joy.

On the positive side IMAP in Claws works ok with Gmail.

Hi Mike. I consider Claws mail a failed experiment with Puppy-4.2 and so it will NOT be in the Final release. With much juggling and fiddling, ttuuxxx and I have managed to fit the FULL Seamonkey suite! Idea Claws is no more and it's back to Seamonkey as our standard platform.

I am very relieved we were able to achieve this, too, since many users would likely have complained at losing access to their Seamonkey mail history and archives (at least for the short term). Rolling Eyes

Several days ago, I posted that Claws doesn't work with SSL SMTP (Gmail) in 4.2rc4. I was told that they are aware of it and it will work in the new release.

Actually I said the problem would be "fixed" in the new release. See my previous post for how that has been achieved. Razz

I'll have a look and see what I can do for the new Godfather of JWM at Puppy! Razz No promises, mind. We'll see... Wink

No, but hold that thought for the possible CE version to follow. Wink

That happened to me too, but then I realized I still had the "old" pup_420.sfs copied on my HD, thus I was actually still using RC3. Just wipe that file out and copy the new one, which is different despite the same name, I'll bet the PET package manager will work. Cool

That's great news as far as I am concerned. Many thanks WhoDo.

Ah, Sir Whodo

Already try the Sigmund's latest first boot up clock fix? Pwidgets v 2.0.6-3. I test it and I think this is the ONE.

Ps: I should ask panzerpuppy to mock the softly outlined jwm windows, for you to auto-include it, hhhh

Thanks and cheers

Thank you for the time you took to explain.

And congratulations for the way the 4.2 is evolving.
I find more user friendliness and utilities then in 4.12 to make life easier running puppy.

Yep, and it works fine after several rebuilds and tests, too! Colour me HAPPY! Razz

Nah! Panzer and I have an "arrangement" ... anything he recommends, I do the exact opposite! Dark window borders will now be double bold black! Laughing Laughing

Hi ttuuxxx

Thanks for reply - looked in thumbnails and nothing in there, never thought of looking
there.

Not a major problem - more of a minor irritation. But - it would be nice to know why?

I just make a backup copy of pup_save.2fs at first with all my essential settings saved, put it in a folder (bak) and when I feel it's appropriate - delete the offending bloated pup_save.2fs and start again.

Thanks again - Ray

that means your not using thumbnail viewing for images, most don't know how to turn it on.
right click inside a open folder and select options.
then select thumbnails
then select show image thumbnails like below, but you'll have to clean that directory regularly.
