with these 2 changes, my wifi works with sns through reboots and I am posting this from Racy.....
I saw similar problems with the lupu528-k3.0.4 puplet from wuxiandianzi so it may be a k3 problem

Thanks, fixed. I also fixed a bug, changed hostname in connectwizard was not being passed to hostname-set. Latest scripts attached.gcmartin wrote:@BarryK
The items you wanted tested have been done. Here are the results:
The newer Internet Connection Wizard and Hostname tools make changes appropriately. If anyone sets the hostname to "RACYRC-test1", for example (or any name following standards), all fields in the system reflect, correctly, the change.But, after desktop restart, the tools do not correctly reflect the system's hostname. (See attached). Might want to review the tools.Code: Select all
# hostname RACYRC-test1 # cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost RACYRC-test1 192.168.1.1 pc2 192.168.1.2 pc3 192.168.1.3 pc4 # cat /etc/hostname RACYRC-test1# # echo $HOSTNAME RACYRC-test1
Hope this helps.

It may be that b43.tar.gz in Lupu got upgraded, and we will have to do the same.

Thanks for that. Right now I am uploading it to here (so it will be automatically found by Wary and Racy via the 'install' icon):Billtoo wrote:I made an sfs file of vlc 1.1.12 and it works in this newest version
of racy. It also contains the qt474 libs it needs to work but that

Not tested in anything other than this version of racy and it works on
my computers, hopefully yours too if you want it
shinobar's sfs_load-1.2.9.pet can be used to load it on the fly or use
the bootmanager to load it.

Thanks, partview 2.2 PET will be uploaded to the 'common' repo soon.ecube wrote:Partview (Free Space in Drives) shows a "Please wait ..." splash window during the processing of the All Drives option.
However, for Slacko 5.3 and Racy-51110 the splash window does not dissappear when the calculation is finished.
The problem is illustrated by the following script, which intended to start yaf-splash, and to kill its process after 3 seconds.For Slacko 5.3 and Racy-51110 the output of the script is.Code: Select all
yaf-splash -font "8x16" -outline 0 -margin 4 -bg orange -placement center -text "Please wait, processing..." & XPID=$! echo "XPID=$XPID" `sleep 3` `kill $XPID` PIDOF=`pidof yaf-splash` echo "PIDOF=$PIDOF"
Thus, yaf-splash is still running with PID = 28296.Code: Select all
XPID=28255 ./p11: line 8: 28255 Terminated yaf-splash -font "8x16" -outline 0 -margin 4 -bg orange -placement center -text "Please wait, processing..." PIDOF=28296
The yaf-splash option -font "8x16" seems to be the culprit.
I enclose updated versions of partview, where the -font option is removed from yaf-splash. The version Partview-2.2-Slacko.pet includes the stuff added by 01micko.
