Fbpanel bug or feature?

#34 Post by OverDrive »

Fbpanel Menu automatically closes every so many seconds when your slowly "cruisin" the menu. I personally find this annoying. This is using pfix=ram. Is there line in a config file I can edit?

Pprocess and pfbpanel -- drag to resize -- much flashing

taskbar menu -- Shutdown has "exit to prompt"
contextual menu -- Shutdown does not

Edit icon on desktop works fine here

resolv.conf cleanup

#38 Post by upnorth »

Just noticed that if I manually clean up the binary crap in resolv.conf file, ipinfo no longer spits xml markup to the screen under DNS tab. 8)

I just wonder if that was choking gtkdialog somehow.

Now that Quirky is using GRUB4DOS, there is an interesting change in philosophy. In previous Puppies, installing GRUB's stage1 code to the MBR was seen as dangerous and there were warnings about doing so.

However, the GRUB4DOS installer only installs to the MBR with no warnings about potential side effects with the other existing operating systems.

In fact, the safest way to install GRUB, onto the partition boot sector, does not appear to be supported in GRUB4DOS.

Yes, I can confirm that I have seen this too with a frugal install.

@rcrsn51

Thanks for the tip about installing the Brother DCP7030 printer.
I didn't know of the existence of this pet for debbi.

Maybe it ought to get included in Quirky?

Running pfix=ram from the cd, boots ok and looks really nice and no problem with the video probe would love to install and put it through its paces but the show stopper for me is no built in wireless found on my Toshiba Satellite.
This has been cured with the 432 release by ttuuxxx, but i cannot find what the difference is between the two releases.

Odd screen resolution 1600x900

#43 Post by JOff »

MSI box with Atom and Intel graphics.

Quirky 018 booted well and looks good.
I can confirm the menu closing after a few seconds, normally I would not have recognized that but when slowly browsing the menus for unknown items it happens.

My LCD has a physical resolution of 1600x900. It should also be fine with the graphics card.

I had to resort to 1320x760 as the resolution with the least distortion (looks O.K.).

How can I force the correct resolution from the beginning?

PartView missing

#44 Post by ecube »

I noticed that PartView was missing.

For Official 4.3.2 ttuuxxx has accepted to update PartView using the attached pet. My argument was:"Showing all drives as default is slow on low-end hardware."

Ignoring the buglets everything works fine.
Keep up the good work. :lol:

The only thing is, that when you switch to all drivers the other screen stays open, so you have 2 screens, that was why I didn't include your latest. If you get it to close the screen and only display 1 at a time, that would be much nicer, great work by the way :)

The strange thing about fbpanel is that the window opened only shows on the taskbar when minimized, if I have 10 windows open and none minimized then it shows no open windows on the taskbar, Kind of strange to get used to. What about lxpanel?

Hi

Yes - noticed the same - have not worked out the change page
proceedure yet - Alt+something I suppose.

But - overall isn't it really nice generally - just a smallish learning
curve.

EHCI Host controller

#49 Post by GrumpyWolfe »

Hi all hope you can help me trying out quirky 018 and a lot of things are just plan working the way they are suppose to. The only problem I have I have always had. I have a Acer Aspire one net-book and the card reader does not work can not mount no matter what I try but I am not that good at this kind of thing.This much I have found out when you plug in a sd card it shows up in hardware under the ehci host controller and pmount does not see it. So here is a picture of it.

Problem with the built-in Seamonkey 2.0.4. email client.

It does not attach files at all. I've tried using a fresh /root/.mozilla/seamonkey/+++defaultprofile, but it has no effect.

edit: Just tried the version downloaded from mozilla.com
It attaches files OK - so problem might be in the compile options for Seamonkey
