Hi Wognath.. As Karl mentions, load order for some items in ~/Startup may be controlled by a rename mod. jwm's tray may be customized by editing ~/.jwmrc-tray directly. Mainly for the swallows and dock (systray) order, pager, clock and so on. Tray management is very versatile and efficient in jwm, y...

Wrong file? Possibly .. The devx sfs (and matching delta to upgrade a previous version of the devx) is mainly for a dev elopment/compiling environment as an add-on sfs, it's not the primary basic sfs as included in the iso. To upgrade your precise to latest version, use the appropriate delta file fo...

Sounds like the standard rox for too much info for space available (longish file name and so on), but didn't realize it showed as such in detail view. Usually the | @ far right end just means there's more info than can be displayed with the current setting for the rox window. A small screenie would ...

Not sure about recent pups like racy 5.5, but I had a somewhat similar issue with a usb headset (headphone + boom mic). A few times it was the 'first found' sound device (rather than the soundcard proper) and so I had to prefer the actual soundcard ~or~ simply blacklist the usb headset (regular head...

Once you get past the /tmp/root dir stage, it goes to create /tmp/etc .. that's when it asks if you want to do machine-specific (several things like xorg.conf and so on, basically they're all in /etc). The recommendation/default is to not do so, so if you don't make any changes to the created /tmp/e...

One of the nice effects of a personal remaster - your very own comfy chair if you need to pfix=ram. Plus you have the cd if ever the hdd goes down. If you made the remaster non-machine-specific, it's a fairly easy shot to put it on another comp. Savefile size - I tend to go with Keep your savefile s...

remaster2 does more of a 'general release' as far as the created /tmp/root goes - consider simply replacing the created /tmp/root with a copy of your current /root if your remaster is for personal use only . All your personal configs (and whatever else you have there) will be retained (as far as wha...

hi MeowMeow When gtk breaks, it's very :( - lots of apps (including rox) depend on it. It can be a bit of a learning to fix it without gui tools (like a file manager!) Two file managers that don't depend on gtk are mc (terminal-based) and xfe (uses fltk), they both should be available for lucid. You...

If the ceiling's fairly plain, you can use a specialized roller cover for ceilings from Sears (hardly any dripping!) and go a bit slower with it.. more jwm-ish (dotpet of 762 and etc) Handles well in racy 5491 and slacko55.

First off, the 'eye' on rox toolbar - r-click to toggle image-file thumbnails (default is thumbnails offº in most pups) or set show/noshow tickbox in rox options as default. Mime-type icons give an idea (graphically) as to what type of file. Some file managers are more descriptive than others for th...
