Puppybackground Desktop Image App Crashes
Puppybackground Desktop Image App Crashes
Puppy 2.10r1 upgrade on my laptop.
When I try to run the Puppybackground Desktop Image App it crashes.
It was working before the upgrade.

that is a very bad error.
I wrote this program myself, but these errors give no hint at all.
"segmentation fault" is a memory error, the program sais: "eeeek, I'm even too confused to give you the smallest hint, I'm just dying".
I only can find it out via trial and error.
I cant promise a quick solution, as it will be very difficult to reproduce.
It works for me in Puppy 2.10 alpha and 2.11.
So maybe it has to do with the upgrade-process.
You could try to re-install it:
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Desktop-Tools ... ground.pup
Also try to observe, if other applications using Gtk tend to crash (Abiword, Gnumeric).

Abiword crashes when I try to open a large RTF file but for smaller ones it worksMU wrote:that is a very bad error.

fine.
I don't have a Linux Swap File set up, perhaps I need to do that.
I also should add some memory, a second 512 of DDR 2100.
Perhaps doing both of those things will solve it.
My concern is, however, that something is hogging memory since Puppy is
supposed to run on a lot less.
WDYT?

I can open from Console or X.MU wrote:So your Gtk seems to be ok.
Please install the dotpup I mentioned.
If you still get problems, I still have an older version somewhere as a workaround.
Mark
It now allows me to open and select a default Puppy background.
If I go to a different folder, e.g. /root/hobbies/ and select a jpg pr png the window remains
blank.
No error, it just does not display or use the image I select. I have tried View and that does
not work either.

That works ... sorta javascript:emoticon('')MU wrote:hm, seems I must add a check to the filedialog.
Solution:
Simply do not select a picture, only navigate to the folder with your pictures, then click ok.
Mark
I press OK then it starts so "create thumbnails" then crashes.

I just rebooted from the CD into RAM mode, added a 1.5g Linux Swap, and tried again.MU wrote:does that happen in every folder, or only in some?
Maybe a memory problem?
On my desktop computer I had no problems with over 50 pictures, but I have 1 gigabyte Ram.
Wait... also my notebook with only 256 MB displays 154 pictures without problems.
No idea at moment...

No joy:
sh-3.00# puppybackgroundmenu
sh-3.00# sh: line 1: 2011 Segmentation fault ./list config.rc buttons1.rc buttons2.rc icons.rc
sh-3.00#
Doesn't crash on desktop1 but refuses to view anything not in the default background
image folder.

Here is an update.

Try this dotpup, it uses Gtk1 instead of Gtk2:
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Desktop-Tools ... d-Gtk1.pup
Does that one work?

So we have some sort of Gtk2 conflict?
