All kinds of error conditions can be tested with download_file.

For example, to test continuation of a partially downloaded file:

# touch alsa-utils_DOC-1.0.21-w5.pet

# download_file http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/pet_packages-wary5/alsa-utils_DOC-1.0.21-w5.pet

just killed the taskbar at dpup-005 which has got gtk-chtheme !

dpup-009 hasn't got gtk-chtheme but lxappearance ( compiled somewhere in the long thread I think by iguleder ) and hitting the button
" Or, apply current GTK theme to JWM ' : the taskbar stays. It applies the Citrus Theme ( yellow ) because it's the first alphabetical in the row ( usr-share-themes )

[Karl Godt]

OK : It's not /usr/share/themes :

# find / -name *jwm*
/root/.jwmrc-previous
/root/.jwmrc
/root/.jwm
/root/.jwm/jwm_colors
/root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal
/root/.jwm/jwmrc-theme
/root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal2
/root/.jwm/themes/Aurora-jwmrc
/root/.jwm/themes/Black-vg-jwmrc
/root/.jwm/themes/Citrus-cut-jwmrc
/root/.jwm/themes/DarkGradient-jwmrc
/root/.jwm/themes/Flat-grey-jwmrc
/root/.jwm/themes/Gradient-blueish-jwmrc
/root/.jwm/themes/Gradient-brown-jwmrc
/root/.jwm/themes/Gradient-grey-jwmrc
/root/.jwm/themes/Original-jwmrc

I don't know why it applies Citrus-cut by ""default""

diff jwmconfig2 : no output

one of the diferences maybe : resolution 1024 against 1280

[Karl Godt]

Nope : changig the resolution to 1280x1024 doesn't reproduce the lost taskbar here , minor thing : uname -a complains that the
# uname -a
Linux puppypc 2.6.33.2 #1 SMP Mon Apr 5 12:55:04 Local time zone must be set--see zic m i686 GNU/Linux
#
but it is set and the time is local and date and time clicking the clock in the tray says : 17th Nov 13:32:31 so its a compiling thing for the kernel .
Another difference : german keyboard now and not an us-uk keyboard.

Here is the result with Viewnior 1.0 and locals in Wary 0.9.8
- Lang is default en_US which I always use to avoid any Norwegian translation files to be active.

[zigbert]

I reprted in 0.9.6 that Xlock didn't work for me. It does now

Barry,
I found the xorgwizard does not set the SHMConfig on for the Alps touchpads.
As the result, the FlSynclient fails.

Finaly a first work around for the Lost Taskbar :

The problem is located at /usr/local/jwmconfig2/gtk2jwm

The old code by John Doe had been improved in 2006 and it doesn't test if the string would be empty .

My first workaround is to provide a line with " blinky " to /root/.jwmrc-tray like the old part :
<!-- <Swallow name="blinky">
blinkydelayed -bg "#e3e7ec"
</Swallow> -->

It is no real solution because somehow there is found a template somewhere that uncomments the <Corner>white</Corner> lines at /root/.jwm/jwmrc-theme which should be commented out <!--Corner>white</Corner> --> for otherwise the change of the numbers of virtual desktops won't work.

And these are lines 49+ :
rm -f /root/.tcl-gtk
if [ -z "$MENU_BG" ]; then
echo > "$JWMTHEME"
pidof jwm >/dev/null && jwm -restart
exit 2
else

echo > "$JWMTHEME" echoed 'echo' to JWMTHEME=/root/.jwm/jwmrc-theme and deleted everything else in there.

[DaveS]

Those commented out corner tags should be removed from the themes now as the tag is no longer supported, not just commented out.

[DaveS]

There is a directory in root, /root/.cache which mplayer uses when playing a video direct from the internet via the browser. This cache steadily fills until it fills the save file. Of course, mplayer clears it on closing. Should this cache be in /temp? A large video could crash a small save file.
