Using Seamonkey 1.1.14 in 4.1.1 and it has NEVER crashed. Seems a very stable release.

I just want to make sure we're on the same page, meaning if i went and spent like 5hrs making Seamonkey more user friendly, then Whodo picks a different release number my efforts would be wasted.DaveS wrote:Using Seamonkey 1.1.14 in 4.1.1 and it has NEVER crashed. Seems a very stable release.
Remember that the DeepThought-jwm-tray package contains a fresh globicons file (maybe too fresh ). It does NOT include the info of original icons on desktop, only the links inside /root/my-applications/bin/. You can easily solve this by adding desktop icons from this directory rather than elsewhere. This is the source of the icon2desk function (left tray - 'add icon')WhoDo wrote:I'm still having trouble getting the desktop icons to show up in a newly built Puppy, too. I have no idea why. It's like the globicons and PuppyPin files are being mangled somehow. Any ideas?
I'm not seeing how it would work to actually uninstall packages that are in the read-only main file rather than in pup_save--but this does give me an idea, and it seems like a pretty simple one (to me, at least).ttuuxxx wrote:when you say install Kompozer it makes a Uninstall file located in /root/.packages/kompozer-0.7.10.files
its basically a 17kb text file showing where everything was installed
yes 17kb, but compressed its 3077B so it would be very small on sfs
we could add say maybe 10 or 20 application files like abiword gxine etc then the user could uninstall the non-essentials via the puppy package manager. This does work when you remaster also, if you include /root/.packages/ during your remaster process you can uninstall applications you installed before the remaster, after you burn and boot your remastered cd.
Not wasted on Seamonkey-1.1.14, Jeff. I'm intending to use that as the main browser, email and html editor package. I've been using it since it was released and it runs without a single glitch. Never seen the Insert key issue with it either.ttuuxxx wrote:I just want to make sure we're on the same page, meaning if i went and spent like 5hrs making Seamonkey more user friendly, then Whodo picks a different release number my efforts would be wasted.DaveS wrote:Using Seamonkey 1.1.14 in 4.1.1 and it has NEVER crashed.

Thanks, Sigmund. That may well be the source of my frustration. I'll look into it.zigbert wrote:Remember that the DeepThought-jwm-tray package contains a fresh globicons file (maybe too fresh ).

I seem to remember pizzasgood curing this by compiling with debug-enabled. It might be worth doing this a sacrificing the extra weight.WhoDo wrote:Never seen the Insert key issue with it either.

I plan on including Monkey Menus add-on for flexibility and Seafox as the default theme for familiarity, although Deepthought Seamonkey looks good too. Have a play and see what you can do with it as a package if you like.
Cheers
Yep. Downloaded the self-installer in a 14Mb tarball from the Seamonkey home page. Simply unpack and run the installer script (not the binary). Works a treat for me.ttuuxxx wrote:Anyways the newest version in the repo is seamonkey-1.1.11-1.pet you must of downloaded the 1.1.14 from mozilla, or do you have a pet version link?
Seamonkey browser, mail and editor. Don't know what personal security is about so I'll leave that one to you. I agree about chatzilla - no point if we've got Xchat.ttuuxxx wrote:Anyways which options please, thanks
Fantastic, does the Asus have the Splashtop Linux in Bios (probably not)?WhoDo wrote:I have a new ASUS Pro50G laptop, Pentium T3400 Dual Core, 2Gb RAM, 250Gb hdd, nVidia graphics 256Mb, 15.4" WXGA screen, dual layer DVD-RW, etc.
I had already determined to axe Calcoo, Xcalc and Ycalc in favour of Cgtkcalc, but I like Galculator better now that I've seen it. Thanks.ttuuxxx wrote:Muggins just released the latest Galculator bug fix version.
Could it be time to axe

I would keep Cgtkcalc on the repo only.
One thing I've been working on on and off for the last several months is Retrovol, a volume setting program thingie. It's not done yet - still needs the tray icon, menus, and support for an alsamixer-like filter so that you can just see the outputs, inputs, or all. But it's comming along, and has been usable for a while now. I don't know what kind of pace we're looking at for 4.2, so I may not be finished in time. If you want it I can bump up it's priority and get it done sooner (lately I've been more focused on a non-Puppy thing I've been fiddling with since summer).I would appreciate it if Dougal, rarsa, MU, tempestuous, Pizzasgood, plinej, tronkel, rerwin and any of the other devs, who might be contributing something to Puppy 4.2, can indicate what they are working on here so I can better coordinate the efforts of all concerned.
Hi, Jeremy. Welcome back to the land of the living!Pizzasgood wrote:Sorry, I was at my dad's for the last two weeks, and he doesn't have internet access (he doesn't want anything to do with the net).
The pace on 4.2 is fairly slow at the moment. I have a pre-alpha build that I'm not happy to release yet. I expect to release an alpha sometime this week. Take your time to get it right. The second alpha will come around January 25.Pizzasgood wrote:One thing I've been working on on and off for the last several months is Retrovol, a volume setting program thingie.

No, it was me that missed it. I am VERY interested in this - with our without the 'fancy stuff' - as I consider it a significant usability enhancement. If the 'fancy stuff' would make it easier for refugees then I'm all for that too! I haven't seen an example, so a pre-release pic might help me visualise the concept better.Pizzasgood wrote:Also, I mentioned upgrades to syslinux.cfg earlier, but I don't recall being acknowledged (maybe I missed it). If you want it, I'll update it to 4.11/4.12. We don't have to do the fancy stuff (images, multiple screens, etc.) - we could just reuse the same screen the LiveCD has. The main idea here is to give people booting from USB the option to use things like pfix=ram, acpi=force, etc. That's actually pretty important, since the idea behind USB installs is to make your OS portable, but if you're using it on a bunch of random computers you're probably going to run into some that require special boot options to boot...
Yep. The second may conflict with ttuuxxx's updated PETget. Can you two guys PM each other to see where the synergies are?Pizzasgood wrote:Also, you mentioned adding some patches. Just to confirm, did you get these two?

I'm hearing ya! I haven't had a Puppy problem for ages, until I got my new laptop. Now my 3.01 installation won't find the network despite having the correct ethernet driver available. It's a while since I had to fiddle like that and it helps me to understand the frustration people suffer when things don't work easily OOTB.Pizzasgood wrote:It will be nice to be able to boot a pristine Puppy without having to manually correct my xorg.conf file just to get X to start.
