Yes, I am a dummy, so please enlighten me.
I let Opera save username and password for this forum. Next time I enter the login-page, the usrname/password fields are now yellow, but no preloaded username nor password string. What am I supposed to do? This is probably (hopefully) logical. Since both Opera and me are made in Norway, I thought we should think equal, but NOT. Smile

rox /root/within.mp3 --> works

I too noticed this some time ago, in 5.3.3 yet...
My "fix" was to add double quotes in /usr/local/bin/rox:
Code:
exec /usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/AppRun "${@#*file://}"

though dunno if that doesn't break something else in return..?
Anyway since then I haven't encountered any problems...

Greetings!

No message that Flash is missing.
I used getflash to install, but still Opera wouldn't play youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuLHXLAG_l0)

Is that supposed to be a video? I hear the music but only get static pic (I'm guessing that's it.. stock included flash here)

How should I know? They are Norwegian.. ..seriuosly though.. the key at top left. But you knew that didn't you? I'm not going back to seamonkey, it's size is ridiculous.

No music for me - No video work at youtube. I'll take a look later and report back. (in 5.3.3 now).

Actually, I didn't - Suddenly Opera becomes useful Laughing

While playing Kpatience in jwm the window reacts everytime I click on
a card, jumps a little, I haven't seen that before.
I installed icewm and gave that a try, it works normally.
Also, when the cursor is over the corner of a window in jwm it changes
shape to a square, never seen that before either but maybe it's
supposed to do that?

Heh, good timing! I'd noticed that the System Properties screen on XP said "Physical Address Extension" at the bottom so was going to try the PAE version of Slacko 5.4 to see if it had any better luck with the WN111v2. I'll give this a shot instead.

Testing on Merlin, Pentium D 3.4GHz. Slacko 5.4.0.2 PAE.

Initial pfix=ram boot passed without incident. Usual settings on the initial setup screen, Set up networking with Network Wizard. Netgear WN111v2 seen by Puppy and working. Using Static IPs as normal. Downloaded and installed latest Flash Player, set up Opera.

I notice that the default cache size for Opera is 50MB, 20MB may be a more conservative size if users are having relatively small save files.

Surfed for a couple of minutes to verify network was working. Manually copied Slacko 5.4.0.2 to PuppyFiles directory on sda1 (NTFS hard drive) and rebooted. Created new save file - 512MB ext4 saved into sda1/PuppyFiles - as normal.

Initial boot from newly-created save file completed without incident, the SFS Load screen came up as normal and all settings have been remembered. Networking still functioning. Downloaded a few pets from PPM.

Pidgin from PPM hasn't created a menu icon but can be run from the console.

Looking good so far, will keep an eye on the wireless networking during an extended surfing session with a lot of data use.

weird by Puppies is the default mouse-setting

...especially the little meeces. ?Definitely manufacturer & connection dependent. USB more bother than PS/2 - usual problem with the trade: one step forward, you know the rest.
Also getting problems with FP. Opera prefers one of the older ones - choose the middle option in the PPM selection or the 11.x.x.235, often a series 9 or 10 works better. It's the fault of Adobe.
Couple of other issues - later.

- A funny issue that also happend with Slacko 5.3.3 is with the jwmconfig script. I like the virtual desktops to be in 1 row and 4 columns instead of the default setting. First time I do this I get 4 rows and 1 columns (the oposit). If I do it once again, it works as expected.
Ok, it's fixed for next, just some bad coding.

- Testing the pseries, I see a strange behavior of Rox (new to me anyway). Doubleclicking a music track in pFind is supposed to play it in pMusic
Ok, got that one, quotes will be around the call now
Code:
exec /usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/AppRun "${@#*file://}"

Hmmm.. may be the lack of decent video driver? While I really would like to keep this kernel I think I'll ditch it. I haven't time to compile all the video drivers and upload as well as other 3rd party drivers. I have to update a few apps too. At least for the other kernels all the drivers exist and are known working.

I'll report that to Joe, I see similar when starting browsers and other slow apps to start, but for a game it's not really acceptable. I think this crept in with the compositing fix in JWM.

Yes, that's intentional, see the jwm changelog.

icon=entry you mean? Same as zigbert's issue.

I will roll back to old fixmenus.. but why on earth is it so slow? Of course it runs icewm script even if icewm is not installed. This should be fixed. Anyone want to fix it? Either that or I'll remove /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.icewm_menu and make an icewm package with it included. Should halve the time it takes to run fixmenus.

If flashplayer woes continue we'll try a firefox (with sylpheed) iso next. We lose some neat features of Opera (has a cool dev mode) but there are a couple of useful wysiwyg html editors in PPM, bluegriffon and kompozer. It adds a bout 4M to the iso, but seamonkey adds about 7M and for what? A useless html editor! Have you ever seen the code Composer generates? Yuk! Actually I have been using chrome/chromium a lot lately but that's out of the question at 50M !!! Shocked It has some great plugins like remote desktop, I can run my full puppy desktop over the network with no lag, surely would lag on AU internet though!! It's extremely slow here compared to US/EU.

I have no issues with Flash and Opera in Slacko 5.3.3 - it might be the graphic driver.

Sigmund,

I'll try to recompile inklite, it was compiled against 13.37 libs so maybe that will fix it.. if not I don't know what! There is no other light replacement, does your svg open in SFR's bdraw?

RE: InkscapeLite

It's unlikely that BDraw will open an ordinary .svg file, unless its (.svg) internal structure is 'one_object per one_line'.
Svg can be imported through "Import Clipart", however it'll be converted to .png+base64 before that.

But InkscapeLite definitely has some problems, eg.:
Code:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
    <rect x="50" y="50" height="110" width="110"
          style="stroke:#ff0000; fill: #ccccff"
          transform="translate(50) rotate(45 50 50)">
    </rect>   
</svg>

will display:
- in ROX/Viewnior = a square, rotated 45 deg.
- in Inkscape Lite = just a square, not rotated

Code:
<svg width="32" height="32" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
  <line x1="16" y1="16" x2="16" y2="16" stroke="rgb(0,0,0)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-width="15" />
</svg>

will display:
- in ROX/Viewnior = bold dot
- in Inkscape Lite = bold line from given coordinates upwards

Or maybe it's because of "Lite"..? Confused

Greetings!
