-sh: [: -ge: unary operator expected

This appears right before "This script will run X windows for you ..."
during boot up on a hard drive frugal install sitting on an ext3 part.

It is still visible in ctrl-alt-f1 window,
This doesn't seem to affect anything though.

G'day,
Just to ditto the "sh: [: -ge: unary operator expected" observation, and that it appears but doesn't seem to stop the booting of a frugal or a full LUPU.

Hey upnorth and davids45

I am still seeing the weird Osmo oddity in lupu004.

After the letter 'k' and space Osmo displays 3 spaces before the next word. This appears in existing entries and as I type in a new entry!

If it is of any relevance I am using the en-GB locale.

JUst downloaded version 4 with browser selection.
Installed firefox. Fonts looked very small on smaller text and larger looked like old dot-matrix.
Uninstalled firefox and installed Seamonkey 2.0 that I already had as a pet.
There was no improvement in the fonts displayed. It is VERY hard on th eyes.
Nvidia GeForce 5150 SE Graphics.

I did not get bad font display in lupu-003.

I did not even try making a pupsave file with the display so poor.

Trying out Lucid 4 now. I haven't used any of the previous Lucids so I'm starting from scratch. I was able to connect to my Wifi network using Pwireless and download Firefox. I'm not by any means an expert with Puppy.

I can't play MP3 files using Pmusic, the files load into the player but when I try to play them, it says "buffering" for a few seconds, then stops.

When I tried to play a video file in Gxine, it did play the sound but not the video. It identified the file as being Xvid.

When I try to open an html file, it did not use Firefox and gave an error message about "could not resolve http://" I tried to change the setting in Rox to use Firefox, but now when I click the file, it goes to the default home page.

My computer is an Acer Aspire One AOD-150 netbook. I'm booting from a flash drive made with Unetbootin.

Have just been looking at abiword spell crash problem (also abiword-edit-preferences crash problem). Here is the error report for spell crash (preferences error report is much larger but similar messages)

This still does not power off - only halts. The drive seems to spin down, but the fan and monitor are still alive. Also, p7zip-full is not available.

latest mtpaint is found at
http://github.com/wjaguar/mtPaint

the developer has recently made some changes to configure

the configuration file was made successfully with command
./configure --bindir=/usr/bin release GIF gif jpeg jp2 tiff gtk2 staticft

for the international version use command
./configure --bindir=/usr/bin release GIF gif jpeg jp2 tiff gtk2 staticft intl

note that when I tried the same procedure using Lighthouse Puppy
I had to drop jp2 option

Hi playdayz,

Super! Lucid Puppy 005 frugal installation on an ext4 partition working fine so far except for one problem. The selection for a 4fs save file creates a corrupted save file, however, the 3fs save file works great.

Will check it out more tomorrow.

Cheers,
Jim

On my old P3 box, I need to use ndiswrapper for wireless. (lupu-005 runs nicely on it ). It failed. The reason is that for some weird reason ndiswrapper is not loaded, this is with SNS and Network Wizard. I fluked getting online with "modprobe ndiswrapper" then running SNS again, I will check if the behaviour is the same in Quirky-018 and report to BarryK. It would either be a kernel issue or a scripting (woof) issue. ( I think )

Cheers

EDIT
Oh dear! The bug is not in Quirky. I just checked, ndiswrapper loads and is straight online. It's a strange one, I don't know where to start looking... it wasn't a one off either, checked a couple of times.

Just did a fresh frugal install of 005 w/ a new ext3 save file on old P3 test box. Installed Firefox with the Browser Installer and everything is working fine. Video, sound and internet are working correctly out of the box.

On to more testing.........
