Oh, I found it. It worked! Does it not work under some circumstances?
Though the [Reopen..Tab..] icon isn`t correct IT WORKS to open previously closed tab at midori

drive icons on frugal install : mount (x) circle is o.k. ( and was o.k. the last luci-2xy too ( frugal ) )

Icewm bug with tray icons...

I gather this snuk in in latest woof, the ice package needs slight modification

First, open /usr/share/icewm and delete the blinky and freememapplet executables.

Second, open /root/Startup and delete z-fix-icewm-tray or whatever it is.. (um I already deleted it :wink: )

Third, replace /usr/local/sbin/jwmx2 script with the one attached, expand.

That should do it.

Cheers
Something went wrong..................... :lol:

Let's see....

In /root/startup/ there is.."wmfix" and "z-start-icetrayapps".....I chose the second.

In /usr/local/sbin/ ,there is no jwmx2 to replace,only a link to dhcpd in /sbin/. Expanded and put file there.

Where did I go wrong? :lol:

EDIT:

"jwmx2 is in /usr/local/bin/......... :)

222.... Same Old Problem
Thought I would try the default configuration this time. Fresh Frugal, save file yet to be created..... booted to desktop as expected. Opted to use given defaults as they looked OK. Set Wlan0 no problem. Set Locale to UK, no problem. Tried to set Flsynclient..... Synaptics not found!
Re-booted creating save file. Tried Flsynclient again... Synaptics not found.
Deleted save file, re-booted using classic configuration system. All no problem INCLUDING successful Synaptics install.
Notice others have had this problem in the past.

Hmmmm...............

Abusing 222

I did an update, rather than install.
That went OK, glad to be using FF 3.6.8
I have the habit of using 01micko's pet:
Yes that version info would be good as standard :)
Maybe if rolling over quickpet
or some other consistent way.

Incidentally roll over three screen icons on right (lock, zip and trash)
creates prompts that come up after a second or two
Nothing for the screen icons on the other side?
At least calc could come up with spreadsheet or something . . . ? :)

Ah.. yes.. before my BRAIN (or lack thereof :lol: ) was rudely interupted by RANDOM thoughts of.. (er no, that's private).. well there is a step 4..

Fourth, click the Quick Launch button and edit Quick Launch.. change the 'refresh tray icons' command from /root/Startup/z_fix_icewm_tray to simply jwmx2

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Have the mounted icon bug here too, must be something to do with event-manager..

BTW, the new acx driver for Texas Instruments wireless cards is working perfectly, better than ndiswrapper. :wink:

The last luci-2xy had a small inconvenience of showing the drive icons little disordered after changing the screen resolution at xorgwizard.

now at 222 I changed the auto generated 1600x1200 at first boot to 800x600 and the drive icons aren`t disordered.

Many thanks for that !

Feature Request

#416 Post by chrismt »

I just checked out MyWolfe-020

http://puppylinux.org/news

It has a new login script made by Pizzagood which will allow those who like to do a full install to be able to keep other people from running there system without their knowledge by creating a root login password.

I wish future Puppy version have this feature

The Synaptics touchpad works from the first desktop, but the flsynclient fails.
I made a wrapper script which can be a solution.
Try this.

DaveS

Your tests of flsynclient seem to suggest what all the problem with flsynclient has been all about.

In order for flsynclient/synclient to work it needs SHMconfig to be enabled. This is on the instruction pages for synclient.

When Xorg is operated in the classic way with a manual configuration via the xorg.conf file this file usually contains the SHMconfig enable line.

When Xorg operates automagically I never really knew whether SHMconfig was enabled or not. You testing seems to suggest it isn't and this is why flsynclient didn't work!

I hated Windows trying to think for me and telling me what I wanted. I feel the same now about XOrg!

The approach seems to be:

Let's configure automatically

Let's hide the details of the automatic configuration - we don't want to make it too easy for support staff

We better make it so you CAN do some manual configuration or else it is not going to work for some people.

In order to manually configure we will make it so you have to issue a magic command to enable you to do so - that will stop the riff raff trying!

Sounds about right. I have said time and again, if we are going to automate, it must be bulletproof!

James C, er, another apology.. the sbin should have been bin thing.. :roll:

There has been the correct Ice package uploaded since the 24th.

playdayz, you may have missed it.. I know it get's hard to keep up! (see my folder on smokey's repo)

This will correct everything except deleting /root/Startup/z-start-icetrayapps (it's the correct path this time, please delete that file) for any other users wishing to try.

Hi all

Sorry 01micko followed your instructions and still the default drive is not identified (both in jwm and icewm) on a full install, OK in a frugal install.
Just letting you know (sorry just noticed your last post)

Nah, confusion there.. my last post only concerned Icewm and the tray icons, nothing to do with drive icons... that is I think a woof issue, something Barry may have changed,

OK... fresh frugal install, no save file. Booted to desktop. Installed wrapper script. Attempted flsynclient.... Synaptics found, must restart X to use it. Attempted restart X, fail. Ran Xorg wizard... fail.
Hmmm....
Reboot, use classic configuration procedure, all fine.
