Puppy needs a quick service release (4.2.1).DeepThought 4.2 feels a bit rushed.

Bugs:
--------

- pnethood is broken, needs a fix

Not for me... working fine

Quote:
- Blinky and freememapplet are broken.
The patch doesn't help (see screenshots)
Freememapplet fails to show up in the tray.
trio's patch works fine for me

Quote:
- When taking a screenshot with MtPaint,the process isn't terminated after closing the MtPaint window.
You'll have to end it manually with Pprocess.
Agreed

Quote:
- RemaX is still buggy and consumes a lot of memory
Haven't checked yet

Quote:
- Xonclock is still movable
Feature, not a bug, personal preference. I'll add how to change it to wiki if you like.

Quote:
- GPicView doesn't zoom a small picture to fit it to the window when the 'fit to window' option is enabled.The feature works only when the image is larger than the window.
Agreed but not a problem to me.

Quote:
- ALSA: the libs are updated to 1.0.19,but the mixer and the tools are still the old ones from 1.0.16.
I don't know, but maybe there is a reason. Confused

Quote:
- JWM is not updated
The update came at the eleventh hour. There was never enough time for full testing. Patriot claimed his work was Beta. Joe Wing chimed in at half past the eleventh hour, (Thanks all the same Joe, we do appreciate it, I use it) so WhoDo went with the wise choice of tried and true in this instance. Yes there are still issues, but I can understand WhoDo's reasoning.

Quote:
- Lots of unstripped libs / executables
Nobody is perfect.

as Blinky goes, Thats the one from Icewm that always worked fine for it, but there is a JWM version, if someone can find me the JWM version sources I'll updated the images to a newer blinky and all should be fine again Smile

Yeah was probably a bit late to change that... like I said looks nice but not enough testing.

It does work fine for me in JWM, I never needed the extra options in it, as long as it stays on the taskbar and blinks really that good enough for me and when you right click on it and it reports the connection, received and sent, who actually uses the options? Funny I never did. lol

Did you umount the DVD by right-clicking the event manager icon and selecting unmount before trying to press the drawer button?

A removable device that is the boot source (orange spot on drive) won't open unless it is unmounted first AFAIK. Except for a USB device with its cached and delayed writes, it should be safe to unmount the removable boot device after Puppy has fully loaded into RAM.

The eject button on the draw will not respond while the drive is mounted. From a usability standpoint, modifying the event manager to allow for an eject function in the options menu that first unmounts the drive and then opens the CD/DVD drawer would be the ideal solution. Any takers among the dev crew?

Hope that helps.

Remax not working in 4.2 {i686}.

Gives a PUP_LAYER error


Oops--fortunately the bug was easy to fix. EDIT: Unfortunately, too late to get the fix into 4.2 Final. Fortunately, you can just follow the simple instructions on page 4 of this thread for the fix (I put them there so they would be seen by readers looking for the latest posts).

tried and got this message:

Code:
/dev/sr0 mounted on /initrd/mnt/dev_ro2
is in use by Puppy. You cannot unmount it.

I am not having your problem Lobster, using JWM though, save back to DVD.

I've even ripped a couple of music CD's today... far better result with Pcdripper than Ripoff... Ripoff hung, but I was using seamonkey at the time so maybe it needed more resources.

Cheers

Only thing I can think of is a slightly corrupt burn... sometimes the disc can be dodgy... Confused

Doesn't Flash usually use this type of install? See what he comes up with. Wink

Is this crazy?
In Puppy 4.2RC4: I can use SCIM
In Puppy 4.2: SCIM is disable.
Anyone test this? Please give some instructions/comments? Thanks

In the lower left-hand corner of the desktop, the drive icons are clustered on top of one another. In the lower right-hand corner, the Lock and Trash icons are clustered on top of one another.

The above happened using an 800x600 resolution, but did not occur in Puppy 4.1.2.
