to stop rox from crashing when using the menu I compiled again.
Perhaps the dbg file was left out

Rox-filer-zap-update.pet at http://www.mydrive.ch

install and restart x

@don570: Thanks for the uploads.

I'm not sure what to make of your ROX problem. ROX has never given me any trouble. On RPi/RPi2/RPi3 with zap6 and on RPi/RPi2 with alpha4, it gets a clean bill of health from me all down the line.

I experimented a while ago running alpha4 with kernel 4.1.13 on RPi2 and saw some slight regression with a couple of minor application functions not responding as I expected. alpha4 itself still appeared to be well behaved.

Amj. Thanks for info. I'll re-install from scratch and test again.
I had left out /lib/modules :cry: Then installed later. Maybe that is problem.


Viewnior 1.6 needs 'exiv2' . Does zap already have that installed?
I will check.


I put right click menu in pmusic to add music files and uploaded again.
pmusic-zap-4.9.5.pet

For some reason, viewnoir did not work on RPi model A and so was excluded from the alpha4/zap6 builds. (A bug in the 3.1.19 kernel maybe?) I've always used geeqie (and never investigated the viewnior problem). There is a version of exiv2 is in zap6 and I'm under the impression that it works OK with geeqie. Of course all this software dates from 2012 and updated versions may be no bad thing.

I was able to compile viewnior 1.6 for zap. I might have written

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=usr --disable-guile
I also made a viewnior 1.1 package for Barry's alpha4 sap
by taking an arm7 version I found in ibiblio and adding links for the right click menu.

I updated to version 4.1.20-v7+
with rpi-firmware

https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware

but I still have problem with rox-filer and my keyboard numpad.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I obtain an older version of firmware??
