Is it on purpose that the SMP and non-SMP ISO have the same name and size?

The distro name inside the build is different. And I created different threads for them.
And yes, both have almost same kernel specs, only other is optimized for multicores and other for intel atom, they use same woof version, overall apps, and version numbers are the same. I added some usability stuff more to the main version, and some small apps.

But there is overall 993 packages, 99 % is the same.
So....I thought it is much easier for me to remember the stuff inside when people refer to 5.X.7 version. Also, there isnt much need to update to the main version from this SMP multicore version atm.

I could have named this one totally different, but this uses stuff intended to the main 5.X.7 so....

Beem. If you mount and unmount several times, do you get accumulating count of them

Tried in 5X6 still.
No, I didn't get accumulation of processes.
But I booted this morning from 5X6 still and did get now:

I drivepanel is started in Startup.

But I get now 5 gtkdialog entries in the window list.
They indicate different states of Idrivepanel.
One is really significant. Very weird.

Idrivepanel

#51 Post by Béèm »

I have installed 5X7 SMP.
Idrivepanel is in Startup.
I don't seem to have those multiple gtkdialog processes.
Every time I click in th Idrivepanel icon in the tray, I have a supplementary Idrivepanel process, but I only keep one corresponding gtkdialog process.

Installation of 5X7 SMP

#52 Post by Béèm »

I did the usual FRUGAL Lin'N'Win install and activated my application environment.
My applications seem to work.

I will report separately on issues.

One question tho: In order to avoid each time to make E17 to my liking, could I take /root/.e from a previuos install and use it?

Beem. Yes you can. Delete first the preinstalled one and then copy your configured version. Thats what I do also.
And do that when you are on JWM. The deleting takes effect immediately. I have tested, lol.

Very annoying.

Thank you. Good news.
I will put the .e directory outside the save file and symlink to it.

Will Geany accept a 'geometry' tag in the loader? Something like 'geometry=650x545'

No geometry option.

Beem. Geany should remember the last session windows geometry and position.
If not, then check in geany > preferences > save shutdown windows geometry and position, that it is ticked.
To hack the parameters straight, check /root/.config/geany/geany.conf and Geometry row in it, there is only one row, where the position and geometry has been defined.

Indeed pemasu, when the previous session is too wide, the next one is wide as well.
I'll look into the config file then.
But this situation has been introduced somewhere around 5X3 I think.

Beem. I mean, if you resize by dragging with mouse the position and geometry of Geany and then quit, does it not remember that resized geometry.

Sorry, did not get what you said.
Yes when I right-click the title bar and choose maximize, that works.
And for sure next time it's maximized again.

But the issue i raised, because before I didn't have to do that.
So somewhere along the road a parameter has changed in the pristine install.

I believe thats what happens when using latest geany. I believe that some older geany found from forum or barrys repos, might behave differently.

But what I meant...was that you can reshape opened geany by maximizing, dragging from corners etc...and next time it remembers that last geometry.

About how it behaved in earlier versions. I am sorry, that kind things happens. I havent compiled geany. We have competent geany compilers and packagers in forum.

Sure, whatever I do draging resizing etc.. sticks, but why is the initial geometry geometry=0;0;1360;717;0;
Why is the 1360 not 1024. I wouldn't have raised the issue then.
And people with a 800x600 resolution are still in trouble at the first use of geany.

Okay. Now I got it. I could repacked it with different first geometry in geany.conf. Could you post the good resolution for first usage so that people with smaller resolution dont have problems.
I mean the actual row in geany.conf.

In the meantime I discovered that 5X2 and before didn't have an initial geany.conf in /root/.config. So it worked.

I would say, taking into account the lowest usable resolution 800x600 and to be on the safe side geometry=0;0;768;576;0;
