Off topic, but

are you allright shinobar. Yes i see you posted today not sure which time that is.

Let us know whether you are out of the disaster that hit Japan just now.

[shinobar]

i am fine ... unless pressing [Insert] key.

Hi Shinobar.
Hope you and your family are O.K.
Nobody can say when and where on Earth this can happen .
All the best .

[shinobar]

There are still bug, insert key kills seamonkey, but currently i cannot re-compile the Gtk. The versions of seamonkey and some zigberts applications are outdated. But i think we have come to the time to release the final quickset wary as is. Further update shall be in future release.

Therefore, the Wary-505q is the Release Candidate of Quickset Wary-5.1.1.
Calling for your help on the final test.

CHANGES(504q to 505q):

• Fixed additional samba server was not working.
  It is a mystery but the wary-504q could not run the samba server. I rebuild the wary-505q from the 503q.
  
• i915.conf commented out(thanks to charlie)
  
• Fixed /var/tmp was wrong permition
  
• Update sfs_loader-1.0, sfs loaded under RAM mode was not persist after making pupsave

Review of quickset wary 505q:

It works fine on my IBM M41 desktop with nvidia Geforce2 mx400
screen resolution 1440x900

...but here is a minor problem.

I installed a fresh 'frugal' installation.

When I first booted up, I got the regular 'firstrun' window.

I chose French (even though I knew that my language pack was
on my USB stick.)

I clicked on 'xorgwizard' to get a higher resolution.

I then went through the regular procedure. I was asked
'Where was my language pack?' I mounted my USB stick and used the
dialog box to find the language pack. However I discovered that
at a screen resolution of 800x600 the OK button was partially hidden.
(see picture)



I know that this is an odd situation, but I thought that I'd report it anyway.

By the way xorgwizard does work in changing the resolution to
1440x900

.... and it is important to remember to unmount the USB stick to
avoid error messages later on.

EDIT: Change the final line to read 'unmount the ISO where the language pack
is located, so that I can unmount the USB stick safely.

Barry reports a problem and Shinobar also reports problem with builds and stability in SeaMonkey.

Shinobar had bult a "combined with Flash" SM last year which when I used it, seem to remember that SM problems disappeared.

Maybe its time to have a combined SM from Shinobar for this community to install and use via PPM. Whatever was done that eliminated SM problems before, maybe should resolve problems again.

Hope this helps.
P.S. I just noticed that SM is up to 2.0.12!

I have booted 505q in LiveDVD mode and I am not seeing all of the system's 4GB of RAM. See this.

Question: Where is the system's boot log? I would like to present that for review because I think if would help ID these problems..

Separately, 505q is not detecting the active Ethernet connection on eht1 of the system. I thought this was solved. (I have my LAN cable attached to eth1 on the MB; there is NO Ethernet cable in eth0.) "Personalize-Settings" is not detecting missing IP addressing.

I believe these to be general WARY problems.
These are NOT show-stoppers but, should be addressed at some point.

Hope this helps.

[yordanj94]

Hi Shinobar.
I am glad to hear you again.Long time didn't hear from you.
Hope you are all right .
That's true SM doesn't work in full iso.Actually what is the difference between full and small iso ?

[yordanj94]

When i look at usr/lib/mozilla there is no folder extensions.

[don570]

Why is nicoedit not listed on the menu
(at least in version 505q)??
