Official 4.3.2
SeaMonkey crashes
Hello everybody,
I'm a newbie and am running a frugal install.
I have just moved from 4.3.1 to 4.3.2
Here are my experiences:
1. Cannot use the pubsafe.2fs from 4.3.1... hence I could not move some of my internet bookmarks and other saved settings.
2. Desktop icons loaded OK when booted from live CD but only showed generic icons after frugal install.
3. New SeaMonkey is excellent... it stops the flash programmes from loading, hence making web pages load faster and uses less resources.
4. But interestingly, some other sites without flash lags when loading and other sites like www.airasia.com would cause SeaMonkey to crash.
5. When editing the "preferences" in SeaMonkey the display of dialog boxes lags for a few seconds after the tab is selected.
I can setup my bookmarks again, I can live with the generic icons on the desktop because I really love the function in SeaMonkey that stops flash programs from running in the web pages.
Is this SeaMonkey 2.04 or is this a Puppy 4.3.2 tweak?
Why does SeaMonkey crashes on certain sites?
Why does SeaMonkey lag or use a lot of resources in certain sites?
I hope someone can point me to what I did wrong in the setup because I do not experience these problems with 4.3.1... except that Seamonkey 2.0.0 loads all the flash programs.

Finished Yet
Should we continue to wait for this to be finished, or simply move on?
Yes, I remember that....but I also saw this:scsijon wrote:wait,
he said he would be back on it when he finished the job he was on now.
http://208.109.22.214/puppy/viewtopic.p ... f68e23e660
So based on that thread started by him on June 14, 2010, I took it that he was back....and thus I wondered if 432 was a dead issue.

Take a look around, in the meanwhile
Instead of sitting and waiting anxiously, I would advise to use Puppy 4ever or Fluppy... both of them seem quite promising!
Shutdown failed
Received the following message during shutdown and then system hangs:
modprobe: Fatal: /sys is not mounted
modprobe: Fatal: /sys is not mounted
modprobe: Fatal: /sys is not mounted
System Halted
This failure in shutdown is probably responsible for only generic icons showing on the desktop.
2nd question... is there an advantage of have a swap disk for a frugal install? If yes, what would the appropriate size?
I am a newbie. Would appreciate some guidance.

Blank screen
Another question:
When booted from Live CD, 4.3.2 shows on the screen each step of the process on the screen.
However when booting from frugal install, I get a blank screen for about one minute before the screen with the cursor followed by the desktop.
Can some tell me why?

Re: Take a look around, in the meanwhile
I got tired of waiting for the Official 432 release and tried 4ever as soon as it was announced, as I used the "snapshot" version. It seems solid, and I have yet to discover a problem, other than Pidgin.Gurglin wrote:Instead of sitting and waiting anxiously, I would advise to use Puppy 4ever
I had to drop back to Pidgin265....everything works fine.

Well, I've been using 4.3.2 as the main OS for many months, but it looks like it really is going to be a dead end. Seems like all it needs (and promised) was bug fixed stable main line Puppy.
Just what I and a lot of others really wanted. If we could just get a final word on this, yes it will be completed, or no it won't, we could continue to wait, or stop counting on it and move on and install another hoped for stable long term supported version that works with reasonably new and old hardware alike.
It's okay to give up on something, but it would just help to know that v3 is the end.

I have been using it as my main OS too. Very happy with it. No new porblems have been found.

hmmm I haven't had much free time lately, mostly the weekends and I try spending it with my family, but I did already say I'll try to work on the olpc puppy this weekend, and If I have time I'll try to do a final of this release.

I didn't mean that it was hoped for by the weekend or even in a month, of course, but just to know if it was over at this initial version.
My main issue is Gtkam crashing when trying to save a photo.
It works for viewing the contents on the camera, but as soon as you select one to save and hit File -- Save Photos -- Selected, it crashes.
Running it from terminal just returns "Segmentation Fault"
I reported this earlier. I think there is more detail there.
Please take your time Ttuxxx, we'd rather have you happy with life and a robust and clean final Official 4.3.2 than one "tomorrow" At this point another few weeks, or more, isn't a big deal. Just knowing you are "on it" is fine.
