I can reproduce the issue also on Wary-5.2.2 RC.
Seems the gtkdialog3/4 problem on the recent Wary/Racy.
It also occurs on Wary-5.2 and does not on Wary-511.

[Karl Godt]

seems gtkdialog4 does not like the <combobox> very much .

tried
<combobox tooltip-text=\"${TT_tz1}\">
and
<combobox>

still scrolling is very very slow .. and since the MainBoard is screwed only twice the vibrations of the CPU are sounding remarkably ...

What i think i could add from /tmp/xerrs.log :

JWM: warning: /root/.jwm/jwmrc-theme[10]: invalid tag in Active: Corner

BUT i finally found that this had been already ^ worked around ^ :

/usr/local/jwmconfig2/taskbarConfig:jwm -p 2>&1 | grep -v 'warning' > $TMP

AND
Input string is '3'
ls: cannot access /tmp/jwmrc-tray-tmp-3.txt: No such file or directory

lets try a sed fix ...
# for i in /usr/local/jwmconfig2/* ; do echo $i; grep '`ls ' $i; echo; done
ONLY panel-buttons with 3 hits ..

Code: Select all

# sed -i 's/`ls \(.*\)`/`ls \1 2>\/dev\/null`/g' /usr/local/jwmconfig2/panel-buttons

worked for me today .. sed-gymnastics for my little brain ...
had thought i would have to escape the backticks fist , but that did not worked for me ...
BUT OF COURSE a " test -f FILENAME " would be much more elegant i think
[edit some hours later : needs additionally

Code: Select all

 # sed -i 's/"`ls \(.*\)`" = "" ]/\! -f \1 ]/g' /usr/local/jwmconfig2/panel-buttons

to the code line below : \edit]

Code: Select all

# sed -i 's/"`ls \(.*\)`" \(.*\) ]/-f \1 ]/g' /usr/local/jwmconfig2/panel-buttons

lets see how much attempts i did on this :
# grep sed $HOME/.history | wc -l
10
WOAOOO: Master of the SEDIVERSE
[edit some hours later : grep sed $HOME/.history | wc -l == 17 /edit]

SINCE THAT IS ALL COSMETICS i somehow did not mention these before .

Now i want to ^ *** off early ^ for the early morning here , hopefully the shutdown fix for encrypted save-files would work ... [edit : works OK /edit]

Racy 5.2.2 RC live multi-session cd.Sound and internet working on initial boot. Incorrect screen resolution on boot, ran xorgwizard and used nouveau driver to get desired 1366x768 resolution.

You have to open the dropbox to see it. It is also in timezone set.
In a slow machine (XO-1) is really lethal. Take about 1 minute to do 5 scroll clicks

Figured I was missing something.....

Didn't go to 100%.....but two cores went crazy.

[Sage]

5.2.1.90 is unusable. Confirm issues with mouse (PS/2 non-functioning, USB like treacle - too slow to access locale settings). Inappropriate messages re. Flashplayer, panel for which pops up before selecting browser. Cannot continue testing.

Later:
The PS/2 mouse non-functioning is partly machine specific - runs on one out of three! New feature.

The locales can, with extreme patience, be set from the k/b, but timezones are restricted to Asia and a few African locations. Europe can be set from the right-click/desktop/set timezone, though.

Good news is that Opera, which has recently become essential rather than a personal preference, works with the new 11.6beta (Other DEB).

2. The save to aes heavy encrypted save-file worked .
[ would have taken me days or weeks to figure out a missing variable i guess .]

1. /usr/sbin/filemnt WORKS on both encrypted savefiles !! HURRAY !!
[ really missed that feature ]

ONE MINOR THINGY about /usr/sbin/filemnt
which is not only cosmetic :

due to the code checks if FILE is mounted due to a simple
if [ ! -d "$MntPt" ] ;then

::MANY TIMES (99%+) the rmdir $MntPt at the end of umount $MntPt does not succeed ,
i guess due to little time for the system to update everything .

AN ALWAYS WORKING " rmdir $MntPt " i could achieve with either both of these :

[ and another little play-around would be to make /usr/sbin/filemnt not X dependent :
would need several

[ "$DISPLAY" ] && yaf-splash || pupdialog
realpath $1 || readlink -e $1 ##if called with filemnt ./save-file.2fs
if [ "$DISPLAY" ] ; then
rxvt -geometry 25x3 -title "Enter password" -bg orange -e losetup-FULL -E 1 $DEVLOOP $imgFile
else
echo "Enter password :"
losetup-FULL -E 1 $DEVLOOP $imgFile
fi

END of play-around ]

Same old Same old. Broadcom wifi of course. Racy just cant do it........ /lib/firmware/B43 missing
Added it.. fixed

- pop up asking to download flashplayer is annoying

You do not achieve much with personal judgements also
with

is it needed ?
directory is empty
inkscape not needed !

and such really not relevant remarks , except your are < a towards zero extremist > .

I like the french mentality , had worked some weeks in Poitiers , but everything in Europe changes i thing to no good .

Just remaster and you are good to go !

I like using the limited inkscapelite once a while next to mtpaint or gimp . inkscapelite actually is patched or reworked by Barry .

AND inkscapelite is based upon inkscape BUT i could only find 0.37 or later src @sourceforge .

Also abiword works OK for my purposes , never used OO or Libre Office on Puppy .

Frugal installation on an ext4 partition. It's working great and the problems with the Bootmanager and Shutdown that I reported on page 7 have been corrected.

Noticed , that rox -v 2.10 apparently dos not freeze anymore opening /proc directory ( running with save-file-crypta.2fs ) .

You have to open the dropbox to see it. It is also in timezone set. In a slow machine (XO-1) is really lethal. Take about 1 minute to do 5 scroll clicks

I can reproduce this problem by making a simple dtkdialog3 combo box with enough entries to require a vertical scroll bar.

Importing gtkdialog3 from an older Puppy does not fix it. And neither does running it as a gtkdialog4 app.

Is this a conflict with the new gtk in Puppy/Racy 5.2?

Dont know, but I hate it
