You have increased the global fontsize......Hopefully fixed for 005. - Not hopefully, I should be ok now :)

nice derivative! I'm also getting the Xdialog: Wpa_supplicant failed to start error if there's no wireless card (previously reported by jim1911.. maybe needs a test? ). Works fine with my Netgear WAG511 card, though. (note: there's no saved wireless config present).

I had this problem with Pwireless2 in dpup. The problem is the Pwireless2 script in /root/Startup. It does not detect the absence of wireless hardware and exit. A simple workaround on machines with no wireless hardware, is to stop this script from running. An easy way to do this is to remove its Exec permissions.

Even simpler...now in Dpup483beta3, is to move Pwireless2 out of /root/Startup, and simply have a dialog asking whether your network is wireless or not and continuing accordingly...

jemimah is working on Pwireless2 as a complete replacement of network-wizard.
At this stage of Stardust, I don't see the big deal of this dialog. On the other hand, I think it is very important to include Pwireless in Dpup and other puplets to give massive feedback to jemimah. She probably reads this, but to be sure you should consider to make some noise in the Pwireless2 thread.


Thanks
Sigmund

Correct, 90 is better for my eyes.

I do read this thread. What this tells me is that I need a more descriptive error message. :)

I'm in the process of rethinking the startup scripts. Hopefully it'll be fixed for the next version. If you want to help me figure out why you get that error, please run /root/Startup/Pwireless2 from the command line and post the output on the Pwireless2 thread.

Hi Zigbert,

Fresh 004 install, no changes.

Psync won't launch, the usr/local/bin file has no path in it.


One problem for me is Geany. It will not run 'execute' on scripts but instead generates a geany-run-Script file.

In 421 I could always test out scripts I was writing by using execute and watching output.

I cannot confirm it but I also think it is generating errors with some scripts when testing.
The only clue I have is I have to shutdown Geany and restart, then the results I expect are there on next run. This has also affected Mick in a similar way.

I know it's within the 004 install as it happens on two new installs here.

The default start directory is set to an apparent French file which occasionally error messages.


Love the pup though, the Control Center is a masterpiece, but must we spell in merkin, it's Centre in English. :D

To resolve issues with drives, as promised a new Startmount is released. This also has a new app incorporated.

Is there/will there be a retro version? Puppy 431 with the modern kernel won't run on my old machine- it needs the retro version of 431.

Fixed!

Yes, very irritating from a developers viewpoint. This bug joined us for Puppy 4.3, and I am just waiting for one of our brilliant compilers to give us an updated package. :)

What does this mean? Are we talking Geany or......

try to set the pref for terminal to

Code: Select all

/usr/X11R7/bin/xterm -e bash -c
this might solve the issue.

We both agree on the joy of a complete theme choosing system. How great it would be to have a theme-preset-chooser. - One click and my complete Puppy system goes from Deepthought-Brown to Stardust-Blue :D

However, we might not agree on which road that leads to it.
Your 'Desktop Display Profile Mananger' is a nice try, but I think it has some weaknesses:
- The original switchers (gtk/icons...) separately has their strengths showing graphics preview.
- It does not contain theme settings of all Puppy/Stardust components. Cursor theme, widgets theme, analog clock theme)


KISS :D

I have no plans for it....this is just a playground for the Stardust Desktop. On the other hand, it is not hard to do, so at some final stage, it could be done.....

Just a thought Sigmund FWIW...

I notice defaulttextviewer opens geany (edit, no I changed that from nicoedit). MIME types for all text files are set to defaulttexteditor That's fine, but some programs in their 'help' defaulttextviewer is called (including some in Pwidgets).

Technosaurus uses Xdialog as a text viewer as referenced here and he has used this method elsewhere for awhile.

Perhaps, as simple textviewer, this could be used.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
Xdialog --title "Textviewer" --textbox $1 0 0 
naming it as "textviewer" and changing defaultextviewer accordingly.

Cheers
