OK thanks Ttuuxxx. Hopefully it'll compile OK.
If you can manage it, the plugins ought to be compiled as well. The plugin package could always be supplied as a dotpet option so that space is saved in the ISO.

Let me know when it's ready and I'll test it out here.

last time I compiled Gtkhtml2 Viewer plugin because WhoDo liked the html part, which plugin did you want ? Here's the page with the plugins.

Hi Tronkel do we need IMAP4 and/or NNTP support ? If so then I have to compile libetpan and it will increase the overall size. just remember I use Gmail for my mail, I just package this stuff up for people who like it locally. :)

I don't think so. I like the simple clean, uncluttered look.

Oh yea, I was also raised with "If you have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything"

Tempers are really a good thing to control.

I was raised with ' Don't let people walk on you, Or If someone hits you on a cheek, turn your cheek and let them hit your other one, But if someone calls your work Bloat, Then rip the disrespecting person a new hole."
Hey Trapster maybe spend as much Time and effort as I did trying to please WhoDo's wishes, with the custom look like he wanted, then about a month later you have a jerk rip off your work, and try to claim 100% of his own, then about 2 weeks later another jerk comes along and calls it bloat. Here's even a better idea Trapster, make something for puppy other than advice, I'll steel it from under you, and claim its my design, then another 2 weeks later, I get another knob to take it apart, ditch all your efforts and call it bloat, How would you feel trapster, ummmmmmmmm like not saying a word, Bullshit!!

WhoDo,

Blinky again. Installed RC2 on another machine and it was there no problem.

Changed theme and it vanished. Checked jwm-tray and could see it was 'bold' as if altered. Sure enough, blinky delayed missing from blinky line.

Just thought I'd let you know what happened.

Last time I checked Tom, My shutdown menu was my project, I choose who works and doesn't work on it. I don't go around messing with zigberts programs, and I sure as heck wouldn't rip them apart and shove it in his face and called it bloat, does anyone at all know what respect for there peers is? or is just everything a free for all. Sure I said some hasty things, but if I get treaded on, I'll tread back. Everyone can kiss-up to zigbert as much as you like, I'm really getting sick and tired of the lot of you not giving a crap about other peoples work. Thanks for this zigbert Like I really needed your crap and the aftermath crap.

Seems like I have seen boards where all personal references were edited out. Participants were encouraged to take their battles to PM.

Naa I've seen a lot worse on here, Its actually a learning process for others who are reading, basically, respect the people you are working with, everyone has feelings and nobody loves to waste weeks on things just to have it walked on. If people would quit responding to me, it would fade away.

Dumped RC1, now running RC2 live cd. Good news is that my Canon i965 printer now works both directly connected and via the Windows machine.

There are a couple of things that need correcting so that setting up a Windows printer works out of the box:

smb.conf permissions are not right for cups. At present, only user has r/w permissions. It seems that cups needs at least group r, and possibly world r as well. (I put both in to save trouble).

It has always been necessary to make a symlink named

/usr/lib/cups/backend/smb to target

/opt/samba/bin/smbspool

This link should be in as standard.

AND NOW THE BAD NEWS::

4.2RC2 won't unmount the cd. There's plenty of spare ram- I have 256M and a swap file.

After I finished setting up printers, Puppy went very sluggish. I ran Top, and found that /usr/lib/cupsd was taking 45% of cpu, gradually rising while I watched to 83%, at which point I rebooted into 4.12.

I personally require IMAP4 and the three PGP plugins .

The idea though is to make sure that the base Claws-Mail package has no bugs such as greyed-out menu items as it sits in the ISO.

Would be good if all of the plugins were available though, as an optional package in the form of a dotpet. This extra plugins package is not urgent for the release version - main thing for that is that the standard Claws package works from the ISO.

I noticed that the greyed-out items returned to normal after a few program restarts or reboots. I#ll test it further after you recompile it.

ttuuxxx,

step back and look what you are saying.

This is a community project, it's open source, everyone is entitled to rip apart modify whatever they want.

It's not your project, it's the communities. You HAVE done sterling work but don't let your ego spoil it.

People will disagree with you, live with it.

Now everyone take a 'chill pill'

Don't bother responding ttuuxxx, you've already put all the widgets team off doing any more for a while.

Keep your vindictive spite up, soon no-one will care anyway.

Me, back to lurking in shadows.

All I said was the Shutdown menu was my project, nothing else, which it is, its small and I don't need anyones help, its nothing like pwidgets, where people can make plugins, etc, Its a simple shutdown menu that does one thing. If I need help with it I would ask. I like to figure things out myself, that how I learn. I also like having the menu in 2 files, I know its a waste of 2kb, but when people make variants they will probably will remove JWM or Icewm probably not both and there isn't a need to combined them both at this point. If Zigbert wanted to do something for the team, he would make his stream recorder work for Streamtuner, or he would make a gtk sum calculator, like the one we had but was 120kb pet, he could do that in about 2kb, we have everything installed already, just need a GUI, how hard would that be? He did see how upset I was when the last guy messed with my work, and he took it the next step by insulting it. I know he's your friend and all which makes you not impartial, If the widgets team wants some time off then you guys deserve it and enjoy it :)

Xvesa

#196 Post by jabu2 »

WhoDo asked - re Xvesa in rc2

Xvesa works on old Compaq Armada M700 and E500
and on mature Fujitsu Lifebook 2200

But Xorg works on all, so I don't know if it helps much to confirm Xvesa (ie if Xorg works, I assume that would be the choice, and Xvesa would be expected to work QED?)

otherwise everything totally calm and bright, no worries and
ATVB (all the very best) to Whodo and ALL his crew.

Keep right on to the the end of the road ......

latest AbiWord http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/ttuuxxx/ ... 6-i386.pet
It has full language support, I'll try stripping it out later after I compile the plugins, also enchant is included, It uses Ispell for the dictionary,
just install it overtop your current one and it should work fine. :)
ttuuxxx
also you'll need the package below if your installing abiword without any previous version

Ran XVesa on an old Dell Latitude laptop and an old custom built and rebuilt and rebuilt desktop. Everything was fine except on the laptop at certain resolutions the background didn't quite fill the entire screen. There was a gray strip about the width of an icon at the top of the screen. The gray area was perfectly functional except for the missing background.

Hey ttuuxxx,

I came in late on the Shutdown menu dispute. I'm not sure what it's all about. I hope what I'm saying here doesn't make you mad. :) It's a relatively minor thing, but I think it would be worth fixing if fixing it is easy.

After I begin the shutdown of a multisession DVD, it is not possible to return to the desktop. Once I tell Puppy to shut down, if everything doesn't go right within the DVD drive the only alternative is to turn off the computer, losing everything I wanted to save. :( I have to say that Puppy improved so rapidly from the beginning that no such loss has happened to me in years. Still, it would be a comfort to know that I could change my mind and go back to the desktop at any stage before Puppy actually attempts to save to the DVD -- or even after, if Puppy realizes that the attempt to save was unsuccessful.

Is that the sort of thing that would be within purview of the shutdown menu?
