If it is a problem for you try changing above last line to

Bonjour à tous,
L18L thank you. After your proposal of slight modification it works perfectly.

Oddly, yesterday, I was unable to connect wirelessly (inability to get WPA IP assigned) despite multiple tries, multiple reboots pfix=ram, but no trouble with wary 5.1.4. I carefully checked my passphrase and even the hashed version in /etc/simple_network_setup/wpa_supplicant.conf-xxxxxxxxx. Today, no troubles at all. Cannot reproduce the problem.

pwidgets.2.0.8 lists "Wallpaper" as a dependency, but it is unavailable (and maybe unneeded).

Icons are missing from the main pwidgets window (see jpeg). Looking at the code, it appears to me (ignorance in action perhaps) that /usr/share/icons/gtk-add.png is used but missing are:

gtk-remove.png
gtk-go-up.png
gtk-go-down.png

So back to wary 5.1.4, the pwidgets window is fine though I cannot find any of the mentioned icon files. Can somebody take pity and educate me as to where the pwidget button icon files are in wary 5.1.4? :?

Yes, this problem was also reported for Pmusic. It seems to have come about due to the upgrade of GTK -- latest Wary has GTK 2.24.5, earlier Wary's have 2.21.1. It seems those icons were builtin to the earlier GTK.

I sent a pm to zigbert about Pmusic. We need to tell him about Pwidgets also (both are zigbert's babies).

But, it is possible to fix it yourself -- google for those images, download them to /usr/share/icons -- pwidgets should then find them.

Thank you for the lesson. The missing icons got added, though I am more grateful for the solution to the puzzle of the unfindable icons in wary 5.1.4. I know very little about gtk; will learn more.

I will send zigbert a PM with apologies if he is double-teamed.

mtpaint bug

I have a mtpaint bug report. It could be related to the upgrade of GTK
to version 2.24.5


It only occurs on newest wary, not on Lucid Puppy or Exprimo
or Lighthouse.
I haven't checked slacko.

Note that Karl Godt reported a somewhat similar
problem to me but I couldn't duplicate it
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=71332

Here is how to duplicate the bug.

-launch mtpaint
-make sure that settings window is visible
-from view menu ---> select 'Show dock'
-make sure that the dock is showing the list of layers
-make a picture that has at least one layer above the background
-Try to save a layer to your disk
or try 'Save composite Image'
and a strange freezing will occur and the image won't be saved.
A killing of the application is needed.
Here's a picture of the freezing...

Image

I will report this to Dmitri.

Some remarks :
- /etc/init.d/10alsa : line 21, need delay ?
- line 34 front to 0 ?
- # modprobe pcmcia
FATAL: Module pcmcia not found.
It seems I don't have pcmcia card in pc ... but not sure if error normal.
-# . /etc/countryinfo
bash: /etc/countryinfo: No such file or directory
- do you plan to recompile abiword, mplayer, libavcodec, libgs to be smaller ?
- support for dialup modems still needed ? (example big sized Intel537.HIDE)
- remove fortran from gcc ?(big sized fortran)

Start gtkam from menu, then add camera (laptop buildin camera is "sonix"), while scrolling down the list system freezes. Mouse cursor moves, but keyboard and mouse clicks are dead. Only hard poweroff works.

I am not sure this ever worked, since this is the first time I try to use the webcam from puppy linux on this laptop.

edit: works OK for wary 5141 (camera is not in the list, but it allows selection of other camera's). 5141 does not freeze.
My laptop also has a builtin camera that is not recognised by gphoto -- it seems to be only for external cameras.

Gtkam has got the heave-ho, replaced by Pupcamera, something to look forward to in next Wary:

Guys,
if all you guys who are running Wary (or Racy, or Slacko or anything else) and have a non-English locale, if you could confirm that Gparted now does not crash with that line commented-out.

That is, there is a line:

export LANG=C

in file /usr/sbin/gparted_shell. This script runs when you start Gparted from the menu.

If no reports of crashing, then I will make the change permanently.

Gparted does not crash for me with that line commented out.

EDIT: sorry, the UTF-8 filenames are readable now with no problem. I have forgot to refresh ROX-Filer.

The line is commented out on Japanese editions for long years and have got no issues.

Gparted doesn't crash with Russian locale as well.
I have a script for bluetooth and it has the line with 'hcitool scan' for searching devices. When I run the script in Wary it doesn't stop for scanning devices and jumps to the next command immediately. When I run the script in Slacko it stops, searches for devices and then continues.

dragging and dropping the folder to the my-documents directory.
