@Mark : hope you had a good trip and that your Mom is well.

Sadly I have 2 problems/queries to report.

1) Sylpheed

I have set up Sylpheed for email but it won't get messages. It tells me that it cannot write a file somewhere. See screenshot.

I'm pretty sure that my sever settings are OK (I have done this dozens of times) so I don't know what it might be.

One tiny other thing about Sylpheed: the menu option Configuration => Change current account => {account name} doesn't seem to do anything.

2) Abiword / CUPS

I have set up my printer with CUPS and set it as my default, but Abiword doesn't recognise it. How can I add my printer? A word processor without print capability seems a bit to me.

Best wishes, and thanks for all you do.

Hi, was a great weekend, thanks.
I could finish almost all I wanted.

[MU]

I'm soooo tired...

looks as if we can upload 008.3 from saturday to sunday.
This is, how it will look like:

Don't laugh about the webbrowser please, this is just a proof of concept, to simplify installation of the "evil" with 4 mouseclicks
Runs unstable on my 256 MB computer, Firefox and especially Opera are much better

See you somewhen this weekend.

MU,

Do you know what/why this file sometimes appear in the /tmp folder of my msy_save-xxx.2fs file?

xerror.log

I have a 256mb msy_save-xxx.2fs file and this file sometimes appear and sucks all of my msy_save-xxx.2fs memory to 0mb.

I did apply that muppy8.2 patch one forum member mentioned something in the line of whether to have the /tmp within the msy_save-xxx.2fs file or not.

Advance thanks for the assistance....

If you mean xerrs.log, not xerror.log:

That is created by Puppy.
It logs all messages from X.
But it usually does not get so big.
Could you zip and attach it, please?


You could do this:
edit:
/usr/local/Muppy-service/muppy-service

At bottom, you find:

yes, xerrs.log

Brilliant advise on the add-on code to delete automatically but will have to hold-off so it can happen again then I will zip up and attach for you.

Cheers.

MU, another file I noticed that grows is /tmp/FlashN4UhHZ

By just doing a dir re-scan, it grows by ~125kb per scan. Is this normal?

cheers.

[MU]

no,I don't have that.
When does it appear?
Maybe it is from Flashplayer in Firefox?

Would be interesting to find out!

That was I was thinking as well - a flash related file...
I will dig around and let you know if I find something....

cheers.

MU,
Just a report on the /tmp/FlashN4UhHZ log... it's a randomly generated file in the format of /tmp/Flashxxxxxx
The file is generated when launching the browser.. not a big deal anymore..

On a different note, how do you run icedock in minimized mode at boot up so it does not show on the desktop?

cheers.

[MU]

MU, as usual, your recommendations are gold! I will try it out.

Also I don't know if you noticed this but the GoodWeather display desklet has stop getting XML updates from Weather.com.

Is this working on your new v8.3?

Is there a way to configure and redirect the weather updates to a different site?

cheers.

Yes, I noticed that, too. Could try the BBC, they get it's forecasts from the Meteorological Office, which possesses one of the largest computers of its type in W. Europe. However, since they installed the latest beast, their forecasts have become less reliable. I blame global warming and the Americans....
