Well, I don't know what it is, all I know and continue to discover is that visiting a YouTube page may or may not initiate an endless data download. I spoke too soon in my previous post because I have just duplicated this problem -- even using NoScript with JS off it can still start a massive downlo...

If you disabled flash and memory usage still went up perhaps we are dealing with a html5 problem rather than flash. With the plugin wrapper you would see the flash running in htop. So in other words its the browser with the problem not the plugin. Recent firefoxes are a bit of a screwy mess so a po...

Thanks for the tips guys, fantastic stuff. I use NoScript so I removed youtube.com and ytimg.com from the Whitelist, restarted Firefox, visited https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkVBf9NT86o and my usage went from 57MB to 200MB before I decided to close the browser -- I didn't even see anything for tha...

I don't exactly know where to post this but this issue compromises the integrity of my computer (slacko-5.5). Sunday 8th September I noticed the green light blinking like mad on the ethernet port on the side of my computer. I'd been using it earlier and I'd left Firefox open but I was doing things e...

I wouldn't call myself a Linux professional but I know a few things. :wink: Knowing a thing or two is a fundamental quality of any professional :D I think that you know just as much as I about the evils of usury, right. I've defaulted on two debts before and one was a student loan. I think the best...

Greetings Puppy Linux Professionals I've got two weeks to choose a Linux course that will [hopefully] be funded by the Government and I'm wondering what would be the best thing to go for. Is there anybody here who has done something like this already and if so what did they take? Most of the stuff I...

I don't think I've posted this in the correct place although I'm still undecided about where it should go. I think Additional Software (PETs, n' stuff) is missing a "Development Tools" section. Is it possible that an administrator could move this to Forum index » Advanced Topics » Addition...

Greetings I have been writing (since April 23rd) a wikitext parser to help me manage my own website but I've continued developing it with the intention of making a release and it's now at that stage. If you want to easily create, upload and maintain a wikitext based web project then you might find t...

thunor; You`re not very clear about what you`re trying to do. You posted an example input line, can you post what you want it to look like?... Hi sunburnt This (I'll give you an example using multiples on the same line which needs to be supported): //some italicised text [[http://linux.com/learn|Le...

Thanks seaside but it needs to deal with multiples on the same line which I should've mentioned. It did get me thinking though about maybe dealing with it before I use sed or after with something like you've done or a case statement and then I thought about temporarily substituting "://" a...

I've written and am tweaking a wikitext parser using sed and I want to make it as compatible with Creole 1.0 as possible but I'm having problems with //italic//. I can't find a way to deal with this: //some text [[http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy|Puppy Linux Discussion Forum]] some more text// All I...

Nifty :D Instead of painting the background to a specific colour, you could tile it with a black square 50% opaque so for the most part this would give the impression of a border regardless of theme. The gtkrc and gtk.css code for bitmaps is: GTK+ 2: pixmap_path "/image/folder" style &quo...

This is the eventbox inside another eventbox border trick using some of the code from Sigmund's menu prototype just to illustrate what you can do (it might be of interest to somebody, it might not): #!/bin/sh [ -z $GTKDIALOG ] && GTKDIALOG=gtkdialog ## ---------------------------------------...

I'll have a look at these issues soon, a bit at a time because I've got other things to do at the moment. I have noticed that the GtkLabel text in the <text> widget is being rendered differently in gtk3 but I'm testing the examples and then researching any issues/differences and I've haven't reached...

I want extreme photo realism of a building or a car or a human they should look unmistakingly real and not faked. :) I wanted to comment on this but I couldn't find what I was looking for at the time but now I have so here it is :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iflwZTNcb4E#t=11m25s I quite like g...

Surely right-to-left is managed by GTK and the user's locale!? I'm guessing that if your locale is right-to-left then the GTK libraries will render the text according to the locale in just the same way that "3.14" in Britain becomes "3,14" in Europe. I have noticed that there are...

Ha.. nearly suggested that one (a few pages back) given you have a good SDL background. :P EDIT: however, most pups don't ship with SDL as standard. I did it in slacko for a bit more functionality ootb, at not a huge cost in terms of bloat. I wrote an SDL engine a few years back but it became one o...
