106 bugs

[Lobster]

What are .wmv files? ...Gxine?

windows movie files - similar to mpeg but higher (proprietrary of course) closed source files. There is also some mechanism in them where the usage - what file is being watched by which ip address used, is fed back to an MS database (or did I get that mixed up?)


The ultimate police state is where no one realises their every move is monitored - the ultimate freedom is where no one much cares . . .

Bug? I don't know, but it caught me off-guard.

pup001.zip expanded to c:\pup001 on XP.
Booted Chubby Puppy 1.0.5.
c:\pup001 upgraded to Puppy 1.0.5.

Open Office worked.

Downloaded and burned 1.0.6 (not multi-session).
Booted Puppy 1.0.6.
c:\pup001 upgraded to Puppy 1.0.6.

Open Office was no longer there (at least not in the menus).

Using PupGet manager, I unistalled the Open Office packages; rebooted; re-installed them; and rebooted.

Open Office programs are now back were they should have been from the start.

Did I miss something or is this normal?

Thats normal.

When you run an update (e.g. 105 to 106), the menues are created from new.
Just entries created from Dotpups, that added themselves to the "Dotpups"-submenue, are restored (Since 106).

A more "intelligent" Menuesystem is in development by rarsa.
It may take a while, until it becomes official part of Puppy, as it works completely different using some generator-scripts based on the relatively new FreeDesktop-specifications. Details: http://www.murga.org/%7Epuppy/viewtopic.php?t=2956

However, there is a workaround for JWM:
You can create a "personal" submenue, and export it to jwm every time it is "updated":

The personal menue is stored in a seperate file, so all entries in it remain after an update, they just have to be exported to JWM again.

Setup: sizzler + xorg682. Dell L1000. 256MB. Video - i810 w/ 4mb.

Good news: I am amazed at how fast/cool my old Dell is.

Bad news: Mozilla craters (i.e. just disappears) after I hit a few websites. Didn't do that before I installed Mark's package.

I am guessing there is something funky with my video setup. I used the configurator vs editing the config file. I am attaching the xorg log and config files for your review. Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks

Update: After looking at a number of posts, I am now pretty sure the problem lies with my ancient video-card not puppy and MU's Xorg dotpup. I am back to 800X600. Not the end of the world. It sure would be nice to have a transparent console like the one here: http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=2303
