-I'll update the chromium package, I already uploaded new google-chome-24xxx so should be at ibiblio and nluug by now.

-I just tested gtkdialog-splash. I remember there was an issue with -fg $color but that seems ok now, maybe that was the first version, anyway it can be in

-Sigmund, I remember your ATI card gives trouble since 431 IIRC, you included a special driver in Stardust puplet. Was that the radeon-hd xorg driver? If so I can compile it and put it in. I will message rurario (Norwegian Slacker, works at Opera) about the 16 bit colour bug in Opera. Also I'll post it in the Opera forum. Maybe it's an easy fix for them. You could also try opera-12.11 (pets @ ibiblio, nluug) and see if the issue is there. We are using now latest 12.13 (Feb 1 release).

-also uploaded are midnight commander by billtoo (plus slang dep), fixed umplayer. VLC-2.0.5 is packaged a bit weird billtoo, lots of stuff in /root.

Hi Mick

I am getting errors when copying files between directories using drag and drop in rox-filer in 5.4.0.2:

Code: Select all

cp: preserving permissions for '/mnt/home/test1/compile/lib/wlc_hybrid.o_shipped': Operation not supported
Failed to copy '/mnt/home/broadcom-sta/Broadcom-Sources-5.100.82.112-patched/lib/wlc_hybrid.o_shipped'
I am seeing the same errors in pemasu's recent dpup-wheezy - the file is copied correctly despite the error message

I have compiled the wl broadcom driver successfully for the 3.4.28 kernel - please say if you want it....

Cheers

Here's one that I compiled tonight in 5.4.0.2 after booting
pfix=ram,installing qt-482 from ppm, and installing a lua pet.
If it works well give credit to pemasu, it's his configure line, I
just added --disable-dbus to it plus the lua pet.
It's actually a little larger than the other vlc pet but the
vlc-2.0.5-i686.files is smaller.

Here's the download link:

This is strange, but I guess there is some conflict. I'll resolve it soon
FWIW, as an experiment, I deleted the lines in the script that called the routine that said no low memory/usb.

As soon as I did that, the script worked....until the very end...when sfsload could not find the sfs file. So it appears to me that the script does not see the memory I have(16 gigs). When I find an older machine, I'll test it there and let you know.

No Rox problems here either and I've moved a bunch of stuff
on two machines. Using ext3 and/or ext4 partitions and fat32 flash drives.Both Slacko 5.4.0.2 and Wheezy 3.5.2.3. FWIW.

Well done James! There is NO problem with Opera, it's just that some folks refuse to load the correct FlashPlayer, despite what I and others have recommended more than once. The correct version is NOT in Get Flash, it's the middle one in the PPM offerings, or use one of the earlier ones recommended by Terryphi(?)
As I and others have clearly flagged numerous times, it's an Adobe issue - just another cr*p American capitalist b*st*rd like Intel, M$ & co. Will the decent, honest Americans please stand up, be counted and STOP buying this junk. We are here on this Forum because we despise these rotten corrupt Wintel-type cartels.

No idea.. but if you can keep track of what works I'd be grateful for a list so I can patch GetFlash. Ta.

Those days I ran Nvidia, and I always used Nvidia's driver to get 3D acceleration (Torcs)

I will test Opera/16bit...

Thanks, got it.

If you are feeling bored [ :lol: ], do you want to take a look at /usr/sbin/partview gui? (strictly from 5.4.x). It has Barry's svg code but I took out the bold fonts and added the vscroll because I have 16 partitions and it went off screen. I know there is folks out there with more partitions (MHHP :wink: ).

It is the partview code that is used in my alternative pmount.
Do we need both?
