(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

@Sylvander,

b. The Problem?
For some reason, my profile [1 of 3] has only an EMPTY inbox, and the trash folder.
The content of the other 2 identities seems OK.
Don't know if this has anything to do with Quirky, or something else.

Probably an error in profiles.ini.
Did you for example change "IsRelative=1" to "IsRelative=0" (non-relative/full path).
Please post a copy of the profiles.ini

4. When I click in a link/URL in an email in TB, why does it fail to take me to a new tab in Seamonkey?

Because TB is not pointing at your "defaultbrowser".
Having sorted out the profiles.ini, if it is still happening
in TB visit preferences/attachments/incoming/content type.
Select link/URL then in the Action panel browse to usr/local/bin and click on
"defaultbrowser"

or (Try this first)

Send youself a email (Ctrl+N) containing a hyperlink (Copy the one at the top of this page)
Give it a few seconds then get mail.
Right click the hyperlink then "choose" and browse to usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser.
Tick the box to remember your choice for HTTP links before pressing O/K.

1. "Did you for example change "IsRelative=1" to "IsRelative=0" (non-relative/full path)."
a. Yes.
Here's the content of my /root/.thunderbird/profiles.ini file: Was that the right thing to do?

b. I notice there's an additional /Mail/jwgteb8g.default folder that I didn't copy to that location.
Aught I to be using this as the address within the profiles.ini file?
I'll give it a try and see what happens after I reboot and run TB.
NO, that didn't work, Quirky wouldn't boot after the change, so I used a 2nd Puppy to change the content of the Quirky profiles.ini [in the 2nd partition on the Flash Drive] back to the previous way, and now it boots OK.

2. "Because TB is not pointing at your "defaultbrowser".
Having sorted out the profiles.ini, if it is still happening
in TB visit preferences/attachments/incoming/content type.
Select link/URL then in the Action panel browse to usr/local/bin and click on
"defaultbrowser""
Did almost, but not quite, exactly this to get it working.
Difference was: link/URL didn't exist, so used http.
It works fine.
Did I do right?

@Sylvander,

Thanks for sight of your ini. The issue here is that Quirky is a full install,
in this case to the second partition on the USB stick. As such there is no such
concept as placing something outside of your savefile because you don't have one.
Please see screenshot below which shows how TB would normally look after install.
(IIRC the XXXXXXXX.default file is created upon first launch.

All you need to do once you have got back to that position is to delete the
XXXXXX.default file in /.thunderbird and replace it with your own that contains the
accounts together with their data.
Then edit just the letters in the final line of profiles.ini to match your file.
(IsRelative should remain as 1 and no path is needed)

1. "All you need to do once you have got back to that position is to delete the
XXXXXX.default" FOLDER "in /.thunderbird and replace it with your own that contains the
accounts together with their data.
Then edit just the letters in the final line of profiles.ini to match your file.
(IsRelative should remain as 1 and no path is needed)"
That's done, and it works, EXCEPT...
All but 2 folders are still missing from the 1st of the three identities.
The other 2 identities are complete methinks.
This is strange, because the profile folder I'm copying over and using, doesn't have those email folders missing within TB when used in all the various other Puppies.

2. Here's how my /root/.thunderbird/profiles.ini file content looks now:

Good Morning Sylvander,
Things seem to be slowly getting better.
Given that other Pups can see all the mail folders I guess that this must be a either
a filtered view or indexing issue.
For starters here are 6 possible solutions to try:
http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_7165104_resto ... rbird.html

1. Those instructions mismatch my TB version...

2. Found interesting info at:
TB->Edit->Account Settings.
a. 2nd account [is good]->address is at:
/root/.thunderbird/jwgteb8g.default/Mail/pop3.blueyonder.co-1.uk
1st accound aught to be using:
/root/.thunderbird/jwgteb8g.default/Mail/pop3.blueyonder.co.uk
...but isn't.

b. Here's what it's using:
/initrd/mnt/dev_save/Mail/jwgteb8g.default/Mail/pop3.blueyonder.co.uk [aught I to delete that?]
SO...
I've reset the address to:
/root/.thunderbird/jwgteb8g.default/Mail/pop3.blueyonder.co.uk
...And [after restart of TB] that has fixed it.

MUCH THANKS for your help ETP.

Already advised BK, but he's working so fast he may not have seen my email yet!
According to my notes, smokey and jb were involved, as you confirm, in developing it ~2008 but there's a reference to BK incorporating it 3yrs earlier. Probably still have an early Puppy version with it on? It is probably on some of those earlier milestone versions?
Well worth recycling. Still have an hard copy of the in/(de)structions for securing a Sip a/c and using PSip. If interested, could scan these in and forward if they have been dropped from smokey's website.

Haha I was hunting for files called "puppyphone", forgot the original name.

With Quirky live CD, and possibly also the disk image, when the first time wizard starts, If I decrease screen resolution and press OK, everything works fine except that all drive icons disappear under the bottom of the screen. Barry, can you make it so that an automatic drive icon refresh will takes place after any screen resolution change in the first time wizard?

Hi Barry,
it seems that "steam client" (to play games) and "skype" and other programs need "pulseaudio".
Don't know if you can add it, but it seems important to have.
Cheers.

Moving to Unicorn from 6.0.5 went without a hitch utilizing the PET's from

Only issue, reported before, was the reconfiguration of Seamonkey to use the previous config.

Note to Barry K:

Have you tried Puppy Units as a replacement for gmeasures?

Hi Barry,
can you please also release an iso , because a lot of people use iso. I think your 64-bit build will be a major release for puppy Happy new year and have a rest, you worked too much.

I have created a new thread for April64 (x86_64 build):

Wow, that's a lot of partition icons.

I've managed to get the drive-icons-by-wbar scheme from BoxPup going on Quirky Unicorn 6.21:
