unwanted auto saves |
|
aarf .... there may be some help for your auto save problems discussed on pages 219 ... 223 of this thread.
I've been running a frugal "manual save only" mode (13) in Saluki (and other Puppies) using USB and SD flash drives for a long time with very little problem. Just by setting the save interval to "0" with no "+or-". You can check out /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown around line # 988 to see if it is set to "0" there. You can also change the time delay before "no save" auto shutdown in this section.
(In Saluki 22) I also had toI open /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d with 'defaulttexteditor' and changed line 9 from ramsaveinterval=30 to:
Code:
[ "$RAMSAVEINTERVAL" = "" ] && RAMSAVEINTERVAL=0 #412
That fixed the auto save problem for me. ... no problems since June. Hope this helps ....KJ

Any news from Jemimah, anyone?
She had "disapeared" before, but is good to know that at least she is "ok" and hopefully on other venues/priorities.

Do you have updating enabled in your browser? I prefer to prevent my browser from ndoing any updates, and I certainly don't want it saving those updates to my savefile. (but I suspect some browsers do exhibit that behaviour...)

I've been putting off saying anything in regard to Jemimah, the last message I received from her was asking me if I would look after the Repo in case she went AWOL again, after she sent me the password I haven't heard from her, she hasn't retrieved any messages from my outbox and there are no post's from her since the 7th of July.
I 've been hoping that she would return before anybody actually asked her whereabouts, but this day had to come, at the moment there is only me and elroy maintaining the repo, as elroy is a moderator on the Saluki forum, he is able to keep it organized removing spam and answering questions to the new members, we have no admin so we are in limbo until Jemimah returns.
If anyone does have any other means of contacting Jemimah, it may pay to give her a call to check on her well being.
At a guess I'd say this maybe due to her failed employment, I'll say no more as it would only be speculation.

Of note... jemimah lives in Tampa FL according to her profile. She may have gotten affected by the floods a month or so back... and considering there's a hurricane AND the RNC headed towards that city, I don't want to think about what could happen...
Of note, I'm friends with lookinglass360, who lives in Largo FL and I've not heard from him since the aforementioned flooding as well. Sent him two PMs. I hope he just got his computers wet or something, and that he's OK and out there... I've long since lost his phone # so I can't exactly check up on him.

jemimah's disappearance |
|
I agree with what Geoffrey said concerning jemimah's absence. And to reiterate, until we know, we don't know.
Each and every one of us that have come into contact with jemimah may have reason to be concerned about her, But let's be responsible and not fuel speculation.

She's obviously a smart cookie and has quite a talent for knocking up a nice clean bit of code so it's quite surprising that it didn't work out with the SAN thing. Hopefully she'll bounce back. Nasty bit of weather coming that way.

XfcePowerTools Pet |
|
Change extra Xfce desktop settings that are not available in the Control Panel with an easy to use GUI.
Change the desktop icon grid size, the icon text color, the icon text background color and/or transparency, and more. All without having to restart X Windows, so that you can make changes and see if it's what you want in a timely fashion, and then make more if you so desire.
Details available here.

magerlab, which language locale does your Saluki use that you experienced this error on?

Thanks for the feedback, magerlab.
I suspect it has to do with the locale representation of real numbers. I coded it using 0.0 instead of 0,0 -
a period instead of a comma.
I'll try to get an updated version out soon to address this. Thanks again for the feedback.
