Yes your not the first nor the last to experience this mystery.
I've had it too and also with Firefox and it is very annoying.

Sadly I don't remember if somebody came up with a solution.
We talked about it in threads some time ago.

Maybe the search engine in my signature can find these and
see if anybody know the easiest way to get it going when it lock up.

You knowing linux way better than me maybe can get a hang
on what is needed based on all the reports about it. I am too lazy
and not bright enough to get what is going on. I solved it by using
Opera each time that it happens Smile


Did you try

# killall seamonkey-bin

in a terminal

And maybe also this for recent SeaMonkeys:

# killall plugin-container

OK, I have added "make|cc|new2dir|".

That also catches "cmake", "gcc", etc.

The potential problem is that it will also catch any other application with those strings in the name.

The corner tags appeared again, now seems to trace them back to

/root/.jwm/themes/DeepBlueBold-jwmrc :

Code:
# diff /initrd/pup_ro2/root/.jwm/themes/DeepBlueBold-jwmrc /root/.jwm/themes/DeepBlueBold-jwmrc
10d9
<        <Corner>#4A5966</Corner>
16d14
<        <Corner>#DCDAD5</Corner>


The new theme seems to be the only one in /root/.jwm/themes/ directory that still have them . Could not find them in the older theme-jwmrc files or they are commented out .


Thanks, I have updated the PET, it will now be 'jwm_theme_deepbluebold-1-1.pet', when it is uploaded.

Thanks. I also found two lines above that needed the --no-label added.
Fix will be in next Woof commit.

I can't seem to unrar some archive using the "zip" icon on the desktop. The application apparently doesn't work with rar files. Is there any easy way to add this functionality to Racy 5.3?


Thanks for reminding me about this. Fixed, see my blog post:

http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02828

if you want to apply the fix to your current Puppy, grab the new /usr/local/bin/pupzip out of the online Woof repository, and install the 'unrar' PET.

It looks like the new Puppy wallpaper setter actually alters image files in /Usr/share/backgrounds/.

I put an image in there, and running the wallpaper setter actually cropped the image and saved the new file over the old one!


The original image is still there, in /usr/share/backgrounds_original.

And a newly found one is that the default /root/.packages/woof-installed-packages has the DEV packages listed. Means they don't appear in PPM with the extra boxes ticked, even though not installed, so you can't install them from it.


That's because they are in the 'devx' sfs file, so don't need to be installed.

Thanks Barry,
I did try killall firefox and killall firefox-bin

but did not know of
# killall plugin-container

So I will add that to my toolbox of fixes. Smile Much appreciated you cared.
This error has not happen laterst weeks so not sure what that means.
But good to know there is something one can try. it is annoying when
it does happen and one find no way to get FF going.

I trust it is the seam monkey thing that makes me refuse to use Wary or Racy. No offense just a personal quirk I have. Smile

PostPosted: Thu 17 May 2012, 09:06    Post subject: included rtl8192cu driver did not work properly  
Love Racy. It's like a modern 431.

A problem I had and solution:
(frugal install)

I use a wireless dongle with the rtl8188cus chip, which uses the rtl8192cu driver. However the rtl8192cu driver included in Racy would not connect. So following advice, I downloaded and installed the newest driver directly from the Realtek site, compiled it, and installed it with success.
(You can see my progress here if interested: http://puppylinux.info/topic/racy-53-kernel-3025-rtl8192cu-driver-needed )

Steps:
Installed:
http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/quirky/racy-5.3/devx_racy_5.3.sfs
http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/quirky/sfs/kernel_src-3.0.25-patched.sfs
Typed bootmanager into terminal and moved these two sfs files "over to the right".

Downloaded:
This linux driver version 3.4.2_3727 from here:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=274&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#2772

Note the installer included did not work for me, but cd'ing directly into the /root/my-documents/RTL8188C_8192C_8192D_USB_linux_v3.4.2_3727.20120404/driver/rtl8188C_8192C_8192D_usb_linux_v3.4.2_3727.20120404/ directory where it was downloaded to then running make and make install from there worked a charm.

It installed into /lib/modules/3.0.25/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8192cu.ko (which is a different path than the original rtl8192cu driver was in, which is curious to me).

A side note, my WPA2 key does not save in the SNS for some reason upon reboot. The profile is saved but it's not connecting. It does connect when I re-enter it though. Will need to look into that next.

edit: Also sorry if it's my post that messed up the thread format but I can't seem to fix it. Embarassed

PostPosted: Fri 18 May 2012, 11:58    Post subject: Racy/Wary: Upgrade glibc/gcc  
Last year Barry discussed the possibility of upgrading the versions of glibc and gcc in Wary/Racy:

http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02372

At that time he decided to stick with the existing versions and I supported this view because of the risk of breaking older programs. However, things have moved on. I think it is now time to reconsider because Lucid and Precise have later versions and some recent programs now require them.
