What I am reporting is a change in behaviour of the forum.bigpup wrote:From the forum FAQBarryK wrote:I think that John Murga has made changes to the Forum recently. It keeps on logging me out. Anyone else got this problem?Why do I get logged off automatically?
If you do not check the Log me in automatically box when you log in, the board will only keep you logged in for a preset time. This prevents misuse of your account by anyone else. To stay logged in, check the box during login. This is not recommended if you access the board from a shared computer, e.g. library, internet cafe, university cluster, etc.
Sometimes it logs me out only a few minutes after logging in. Even if I am active on the forum.
The previous behaviour was that it would log me out after a certain period of inactivity. I don't recall how long, maybe half an hour. It was a generous period of inactivity.
I used to have this problem with my Telstra mobile broadband connection. I did report the problem to John, but it never got fixed. After I changed to Optus, the problem went away.
Until now, suddenly I have that problem with Optus also.

Do you mean even after installing your PET:akash_rawal wrote:Testing precise 5.4.0.90.
Looks like the session saving problem is solved, I'm unable to reproduce it now.
Problems with gdb and gio modules persist.
I'll continue testing and report back more.

Thanks, libpython2.7 will be in the devx.akash_rawal wrote:Finished downloading precise 5.4. Testing it reveals several problems.
On first boot it refused to save the session. After asking for save file name it rebooted without saving session. Next time I ran wmreboot in terminal but this time it worked properly. Will try again to reproduce the problem.
Display, opengl and internet is working properly. Posting from there now.
In devx gdb doesn't work.Installing libpython2.7_2.7.3-0ubuntu3_i386.deb fixes gdb.Code: Select all
# gdb gdb: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.7.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory #
Also gio has problems using modules. It's a glib bug and affects some other distros as well. See here.
Edit: Didn't see precise 5.4.0.90.

Infrastructure mods to facilitate addition of Frisbee
Barry,
Testing of my integrated Frisbee is progressing well. Although I am not ready to submit it for additon to the puppy package library, the infrastructure changes are straightforward and would simplify users' and developers' addition of Frisbee.
Please consider updating woof with the first four packages posted here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 518#662518
The fifth (dhcpcd-dropwait) can also be added to the puppy package library, although substituting it in woof for dhcpcd could benefit connection stability for all network managers.
My main concern, though, is that the woof-resident changes be made, including the addition of a slot for a separate wag_profiles package. Please see the description associated with those packages at the above link. I recognize that it is late in the cycle, but ask for it because it would avoid users needing to modify to puppy infrastructure.

It is too late in the development cycle for Precise 5.4.1. This is almost ready to be released, and anyway the intention was bug-fixes only relative to 5.4.
Infrastructure changes to support Frisbee can be considered after 5.4.1 is released.

Till now abiword is the only program I find with help not working, irrespective of manually compiled glib or precise glib. "Operation not supported" is the warning printed on terminal. Is this problem you are talking about?
But running gdb on abiword reveals it uses its own c++ functions to implement help.

Precise still has module loading problems?
The problem is solved after installing the pet.
there's a bug when installing .deb files. the categories section of the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications gets changed!
this has also been noted by Jejy69 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=81852
for example in the openshot.deb, /usr/share/applications/openshot.desktop looks like this
after installing though it looks like this
same with the deadbeef.deb from to
this is making nearly everything installed from the ppm end up in the 'utility' menu

Re: Infrastructure mods to facilitate addition of Frisbee
Right. The goal is to get the implementation into the woof structure for all puppies, not precise 5.4.1. Thanks for clarifying that for me.BarryK wrote:Richard,

Glade interface designer doesn't work.
Instead of adding gtk3 maybe it would be better to provide glade separately, as gtk3 could be large?

Help with finding BlueGriffon
Maybe I belong in the beginners forum, but I hope not. BlueGriffon is a wysiwyg website builder I'd like to try. It's popular so I expected it to be found with PPM --but nothing available. I appreciate any & all help.
** FREE CONCERT:
I'm discovering this puppy is excellent with multimedia. If anyone wants to hear Bob Dylan's (live & great) concert from last month at the Hollywood Bowl, here's the link from a DJ that I Twitter follow.

I'll try again
This latest version of precise does not recognize my audio chip. I tried all the steps...what information to I need to post to allow someone to either tell me how to fix the problem, or not to continue the effort.
Thanks
Thanks

To save you the hunt I've attached the glib patch I use in Slacko-beta series based on slackware-14.0. This is based directly on jemimah's work.

Notifying BUG here as it concerns my test of 5.4.1 beta
Have just downloaded beta, tried on my Dell Vostro V360 all in one desktop. It boots to a totally black screen (nothing visible) which blinks the desktop on for about 0.5 seconds every 10-15 seconds. I also understand it affects some laptops as well of both Dell and other brands that use the nvidia optimus gt525 video chipset
This is a known bug with ubuntu 12.04 precise and I believe affects all kernels in all distros kernel 2.6 thru 3.5 that use a video driver unless it uses vesa. I understand the bug has been fixed in later 3.5 and up kernels
see this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/918769
and this which is too technical for me !! : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=62301
Has anyone else had this problem?
Hope this helps make Puppy better and more versatile

I haven't tried beta .1 yet, but reported very similar video issues on page 16 of this thread, which apparently were not deserving of Barry's response.
If I hadn't had two monitors available, I wouldn't have been able to do any experimentation at all with Puppy 5.4. As it is, configuring a display was gruesomely difficult, and at times both monitors were blacked out, and only one was even marginally usable at the available settings.
And these are problems I've never encountered with any Puppy from 1.1 through 5.2.8.

I often don't respond to a bug report simply because I haven't got a clue how to fix it. If someone reports a "black screen", there is not much to go on.
Often the only apparent solution is to use some other puplet or even other distro that does work with that hardware.
