I suspect this may be a known issue with JWM.
Is it ??

Cant't confirm this for bionic64.
Though, I'm running my own WoofCE built using a real time kernel.

The behavior is a weird one.
It happens with the 1st opened window after boot up or after a restart of the graphical server.

... So would someone care to do a restart of the graphical server (from the shut down menu),
then open a window, say pFind
then use Alt+F2
then chose 'Move' from the menu offered.

I have found the behavior in UpupBionic, DD_Stretch-7.5, Xenial-705. All these have JWM 2.3.7
With Slacko-6.9.6.4 , which has JWM 2.3.2 , there is no crash.

Problem confirmed - need to ascertain whether this is a problem specific to Puppy and if it is a generel problem raise an issue at:
https://github.com/joewing/jwm/issues

Can't find any reference to it as a known problem....

Thanks peebee for checking.

@proebler & @peebee - this doesn't happen with ScPup64 (its standard jwm is 2.3.6; I run 2.3.7), so not an all-pup issue.

EDIT:
I'm wrong! - ScPup64-19.0x use jwm 2.3.6. Appears to be a jwm 2.3.7 issue - was compiled without fribidi in ScPup64-19.0x, but bionicpup64 has fribidi & still crashes. Strange.

That's one odd colored horse to find, Proebler.

Ditto (as I'm sure PhilB already knows) aboard Bionic64 CE with standard kernel and JWM 2.3.7.

Note: MOVE popup window can be achieved by holding Alt & dragging it around.

Reverting to jwm 2.3.2 eliminates crash issue, whilst avoiding the scrollwheel changing desktops issue in 2.3.6, but although I made an ScPup64 .pet, it loses tray in bionicpup64. Not a realistic solution.

I have a feeling I saw a post by MochiMoppel somewhere that offered a way around the annoying behaviour of scrolling through desktops. Will post back if I can locate it.

ozsouth · #804 Post by **ozsouth** » Tue 12 May 2020, 03:01

@greengeek - looked at that again today - sadly, doesn't work in jwm 2.3.6 for ScPup64 & probably others.

I have an old broken laptop: For a width of 3 inches from top to bottom on the right, the pixels are dead. As a result, only a part of the notification tray at the bottom is visible.

Is there a file modification that could start the tray 3 inches to the left (facing screen) of where it now starts?
TIA for your assistance.

bigpup graciously repliwd:

/root/.jwmrc-tray is the config file for the tray.

The settings at the beginning of this file control tray position.
Could try to change them.
layout="vertical" will put the tray vertical along the left side of desktop.
halign="center" will place it in center.
halign="right" is used to place it vertical, on right side, when layout is set to vertical. Halign="left" is normal for all other settings.

I looked in quickly at all the files in .jwm/jwmrc with "tray" in the title, but found nothing remotely resembling your description. I'll look again, but please help me zero in on the appropriate file.
Thanks

it should be in folder "root" and not in folder ".jwm".

To alter 12/24 hour setting
Try MENU --> Desktop --> JWM Windows Settings --> Clock

Works on older JWM's maybe this one too.

*** PS: what version of fribidi is installed in the problematic/non-problem versions... JWM 905 using 0.3.1 dated 3/2014 ***

Enjoying the latest BP32 (upupbb), one nagging problem as pictured. I am only getting "minimize" button showing up,..

Installed to HD partition, frugal. Everything else seems to work well.

---

spontaneous recovery?, few hours later of using the PC, now I am getting the proper all 3 buttons showing up!, don't know what I did, but the problem is resolved...

Thank you

what errors does dmesg give?

ozsouth · #812 Post by **ozsouth** » Thu 21 May 2020, 12:39

@gilloraymondo - as peebee said driver you specified is there, so need to check your equipment & look for errors.
Please run following commands & post results:

lscpi -nn | grep -i network

dmesg | grep -i firmware

dmesg | grep -i error

gilloraymondo · #813 Post by **gilloraymondo** » Sat 23 May 2020, 13:28
