I don't recall upgrading Flash to the latest 11.2.202.228 (the one causing the issues) on the Athlon XP box....... I'll check and test after I get some food. I expect after the upgrade to discover the same problem..... it's not Puppy it's an Adobe problem.I'll upgrade and report back.....the patched 10.3.183.18 works well in those situations where the upgrade to the latest fails though.

Upgraded to the latest Flash and as expected, a total failure on the Athlon XP box.Nothing on Youtube except a black box where the video is supposed to be. Went back to 11.1r102 and things are back to normal.

Taking advantage of the glib hacks, homebank help now works in the updated 4.4 (been meaning to do that for awhile Rolling Eyes

Rolling Eyes

)

For full local help install the DOC package too, else the Online Help now points to the Homebank website. I disabled the Launchpad stuff, you need to log in to launchpad.. patch attached..

EDIT: hmmm.. the local help was crashing the app, so I removed it all together, no use having it so disregard getting the DOC files unless you want the man page. Patch adjusted.

James C, Just curious, have you tried Google Chrome? I have surprised myself but I am using it often now, just so I don't have to mess with Flashplayer, which is included in Chrome (but only in Chrome, not in Iron or Chromium).

Speaking of working Help Wink

Wink

Lupu 528.005 and Lupu Libre 528.005 Released today -> The big news is that Help is working in Abiword and Homebank and the web links are working in many programs Help -> About. More big news is that there is a Libre version with Libre Office 3.5.1 installed and integrated with the desktop.

Haven't gotten around to it yet. Basically none of the Iron/Chrome/Chromium pets have been able to run on the Athlon XP box, or the old P3 boxes,so ........... Smile

I have made my own Chrome pets that have worked but I've been lazy lately.... Laughing

Guess I'll try to make a new Chrome pet just to see.....worth a try I guess.

Hadn't tried Chrome in a while so I was pleasantly surprised that Chrome 14 from the PPM actually works on this old Athlon XP.....maybe there is hope.

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=60678

I'm happy to confirm that the fix has worked! On both of the upgraded saves on USB sticks the 'Eject CD' setting was remembered, both on running PupsaveConfig again and when actually powering off the machine.

With regard to the earlier discussion on whether to default to ejecting the discs or not, people who are setting up a brand-new pupsave will of course be able to choose as part of the initial setup process. Since it appears that, at present, upgraded saves lack the pupsave.conf file would it be possible for Puppy to detect that the file is missing and pop up PupsaveConfig? My main contention is that ejecting discs on power-off is not a common thing to happen on the majority of operating systems.

People who had upgraded their saves, and may not have been aware of the new feature, could be a bit confused (as I was) to have their computer decide on its own to spit out their discs. While forcing the tray closed should not, on a well-made drive, destroy the mechanism there are many other things which can 'happen' to the tray. Choosing to shut the machine down, going off to do something else and then coming back the day later to see the trays are out is entirely possible. I've done it myself, I only suspected PupsaveConfig in the first place because I remembered seeing an Eject CD option when I set up a new Slacko 5.3.2.7 save.
