Only seems Gecko has changed between quirky021 and puppy431

No problem with clicking the paper clip or Download.


There is a problem with SeaMonkey 1.1.18 and Openbox window manager. Surprising that it has this bug, considering that Openbox is supposed to be a very mature product.

You don't really have to drag the save-as dialog away, just click on the underlying destination-chooser dialog -- notice that it's header is flashing -- must be Openbox's way of letting you know that this dialog should be on top but isn't.

Hi all,
@BarryK
Barry, there is still something amiss with xorgwizard.
You may not remember but in the Q013 thread I reported that after following your instructions,dated 31/3/10, the X05 would run with the Intel i810 driver.
In the Quirky 018 thread I reported that no matter what I did xorgwizard would revert to the vesa driver.
Again in Quirky 021 xorgwizard reverts to the vesa driver. This time it does remove the intel driver from /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/drivers and inserts the i810 driver, but it applies the vesa driver.
I tried changing vesa to i810 in xorg.conf, but that did not work. Had to run xorgwizard to get graphics.
Any suggestions?
Cheers


Looks like you will have to manually remove /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vesa_drv.so.

Hmmm, that might not work. The Xorg probe only chooses vesa as a last resort, so it is thinking that i810 is not suitable. So, I don't know if removing vesa will force it to choose i810.

Subject description: Quirky 022 (Nvidia Driver test version)		  
The system is Acer Aspire Revo, about 1 Gigabyte memory and Nvidia Ion video. Quirky 022 first tried the nv driver and failed due to the Ion video not being found. Second try, fresh without a save file, I pick the Nvidia 195.26.15 driver (just nvidia in list). It worked with out a problem. I am posting this using Quirky 022.

I want the nvidia-settings tool. So, I expanded only the nvidia-195.36.15-pkg1.run file. I copy the nvidia-settings file to /root/my-applications/bin and try running it. The tool started and worked. I got this error message:
Code:
ERROR: libGL setup error : libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such  file or directory


I copied to /root/my-applications/lib the file, libGL.so.195.136.15 and create link libGL.so.195.1 to it.. Ran the nvidia-settings tool again. It worked with this error message:
Code:
ERROR: libGL setup error : libGLcore.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I copied to /root/my-applications/lib the file, libGL.core.so.195.36.15 and link to it, libGL.core.so.1. Ran the nvidia-settings tool and got this error:
Code:
ERROR: libGL setup error : libnvidia-tls.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I did the same for the file, libnvidia.tls.so.195.36.15 and linked it to libnvidia.tls.so.1. This time when I tried to run the nvidia-settings tool, it failed to run with a segmentation fault. Eliminating the link, allowed nvidia-settings tool to run with a minor non-fatal error. If you get the segmentation error with the nvidia-settings tool, then look for libnvidia.tls.so.1 file and rename or delete it.

The nvidia-settings tool and the first two libraries require about 25 Megabytes of storage. The nvidia-settings tool by itself requires 1511 Kbytes of storage. I do not know for sure if the two libraries are really needed.

I hope this helps.

Hi Barry
Finally many thanks from my side for the 022. It was the first time ever I have seen a Puplet initially starting with 1900x1050x24 on my TV with a fully working Nvidia-driver.
The next will be the installation of some Lirc, Sat and other drivers which seem to be a little bumpy as I have quickly tested that this morning. I will see.
Many thanks again and good luck for the release.

I don't understand what you have done exactly. If you are using Q022, it has the cutdown Nvidia. Ok, to get nvidia-settings and all the extra libraries, you need my full Nvidia PET package.

I have recently improved that package, and uploaded it a few minutes ago. Get it from here:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/pet_packages-quirky/nvidia-195.36.15-k2.6.33.2-1-q1.pet

...install that, you should get an entry for nvidia-settings in the Setup menu. The settings won't be remembered between boots -- see my recent blog post -- fixed in next Quirky.

Already reported in quirky 13 and still here in quirky 22 (didn't try quirky 21)

When going with the mouse cursor over the desktop drive icons, the filesystem is in the pop-up box, but not the size.

Kinda annoying.

PostPosted: Sat 01 May 2010, 06:32    Post subject: quirky 22 frugal session not saved  
Already reported before.

When starting with pfix=ram at the end of the session the panel to create a save file isn't displayed and a message is issued session not saved

The circumvention I found is to do a first boot with pfix=ram and psubdir=
I then get the panel to create a save file
Once a save file created, the psubdir= isn't needed anymore

It's kinda annoying as f.e. Lucid doesn't have this issue, so when installing a new quirky, I forget about this.

PostPosted: Sat 01 May 2010, 06:44    Post subject: quirky 22 frugal SNS netw config not retained between boots  
When configuring with SNS the internet connection, at next boot this configuration is lost and has to be done again.
I am not sure, but I think this has been reported earlier.

Supplementary a suggestion.
Sometimes I enter the WEP key and forget to select the WEP radio button.
The only choice I have then is to go back to the initial sceen.
It would be user-friendly if one could go back one step to select that radio button, while retaining the key entered.

The size information has always been there for me.

The size information is obtained in script /usr/bin/pup_event_frontend_d:

Code:
    PROBEPART="`probepart -k | grep -E '\|ext4\||\|ntfs\||\|msdos\||\|vfat\||\|ext2\||\|ext3\||\|iso9660\||\|xfs\||\|reiser'`"
    DRVINFO="`echo "$PROBEPART" | grep "$drvPATTERN" | cut -f 1,2,3 -d '|' | tr '\n' ' '`"


The size info is in the 3rd field of DRVINFO.

The information is obtained from this, try it in a terminal:

# probepart -k

This is another one that I can't reproduce. If I don't get this problem, then I can't fix it. I certainly have no idea theoretically why it would happen.

I haven't had this problem. I doubt that the configuration is "lost", it is just that the network connection script at bootup is failing to make the connection.

After you have configured your connection with SNS, you should see an entry in file /etc/simple_network_setup/connections.

At bootup, /usr/local/simple_network_setup/rc.network is run, which reads the 'connections' file and tries to make a connection from the information in it.

So, if you have booted up and failed to get a connection, try running this in a terminal:

# /usr/local/simple_network_setup/rc.network

...see if there are any error messages.

I looked at your post in the Lupu thread, however you have not explained it completely. Just posting a picture showing the error means little. What operation did you perform to cause this error?

quirky 22 frugal desktop drive icons don't give size

Thank you for your reply.
I forgot to say I have this after the first boot with pfix=ram already.
At this point my Belgium keyboard is selected as well as the country locale nl_BE@euro: Dutch,Belgium
Another (wild?) idea: was quirky 13 the first one with fbpanel in stead of JWM? As before the 13 I didn't have that problem.

probepart -k gives
Code:
# probepart -k
/dev/sda1|ntfs|22695088
/dev/sda2|vfat|13245120
/dev/sdb1|vfat|78140128
/dev/sdb2|ext3|78140160
/dev/sdb3|none|1
/dev/sdb4|ntfs|27262305
/dev/sdb5|ext3|10482381
/dev/sdb6|vfat|78140128
/dev/sdb7|ext2|40403443
/dev/sr0|none|1048575
#
Look good I suppose

Then I tried to find /usr/bin/pup_event_frontend_d: , but I only found /usr/bin/pup_event_frontend_d (no double dot) in /sbin not in /usr/bin
Code:
# find / |grep pup_event_frontend
/sbin/pup_event_frontend_d
/initrd/pup_ro2/sbin/pup_event_frontend_d

The code you reference is indeed in this script.

I tried to execute the script in a terminal and get this
Code:
# sh pup_frontend_d
sh: pup_frontend_d: No such file or directory
# find / |grep pup_event_frontend:
# pwd
/sbin
#
Don't know quite well how to diagnose on further.

I understand when you aren't able to reproduce the issue it's difficult to solve. As I have a circumvention, it's ok for me.
