Precise Puppy 5.7.1
Pythom
Does anyone have a pet or sfs for Python? Apparently its been removed from 5.7 PAE. Installed it via the PPM, but foobnix will not run. Withj a fresh save file I loaded in the dev.sfs and foobnix does run.
Thanks
Thom

Jades,
Thanks for giving it a try. I have tested on 4 desktops and 2 laptops of different brands and ages with ps2 keyboards and usb keyboards and it happens in all of them. One thing to remember though is that once you open any app, type something and close that app then the problem temporarily goes away. You have to restart X each time if you are trying different apps.
Hopefully BarryK will investigate when he has time.
As he mentioned, he hasn't altered much that could cause this. I did wonder if it could be related to the new pup_event since that starts when X starts, but I have tested both of 01micko's latest Slacko betas which have the new pup_event and the bug does not happen in those.

Re: /root/.Xdefaults has an unecpected space.
Thanks for that, I have just fixed it in Woof.cygnus_odile wrote:Hellow, everyone, and Thanks to Mr Barry K. for your Puppy.
I've been using "Puppy" for long time (about 4yeras), and mainly Japanese edition.
In Recent Precise Puppy's "/root/.Xdefaults" has an unexpected space at the end of line 8.So pushing "END" key causes the Cursor to jump and gives an unexpected space at the end of line, when editing the command line or using a text-editor on Urxvt.Code: Select all
Rxvt.keysym.0xFF57: \033[4~
This point is corrected in Precise Puppy 550JP ( Mr. Shinobar's Japanese edition).
Dear Mr.Barry K. please delete it (a space) in .Xdefaults and .Xdefaults.back, in next release.
... ... thank you for reading my post through.

Did you start with the keys that are definitely different between the layouts and do just them? I started from the top left and worked right and down (so !"£$%^&).OscarTalks wrote:Jades,

May not be significant but I have UTF-8 disabled and am using 5.7 Retro.

Just upgraded from 5.6.1 to 5.7 (copied the save file first) and it seems to have retained all the settings and apps - except for the desktop image (no problem to reinstate) and more importantly -
- my mouse scroll wheel no longer works. It's a Microsoft cordless mouse that has worked fully in various previous Puppies.
Any suggestions?

Edit to add: How do I make the screen fonts a bit smaller? Text under icons in file windows is bigger than with 5.6.1 - jams up against each other.

I have narrowed down the cause of the non-US keyboard problem, see my blog post:
http://bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00340
...in short, it is due to a DEB, we don't know which one.
Regarding the problem with logging into Facebook and Gmail in Pidgin, see my blog post:
http://bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00343
...please let me know if you get Pidgin working!

Heh, just realised why I couldn't reproduce the keyboard bug on a pfix=ram boot. After filling in Quicksetup and restarting X-server I set up the network in Frisbee first, copying and pasting the SSID and password and typing the IP addresses, then ran Geany and tried the keyboard thing. Frisbee would therefore be the first app and I didn't restart X-server after the first time.
If I had a brain I'd be dangerous.

Problem mounting ntfs partition
This distribution is one of the best yet , however I get the following error message when trying to mount an ntfs partition on which Windows 8 is installed. I have made certain that Windows is properly shut down and have run chkdsk on the partition. Precise pups or derivatives are the only distributions that have this problem so something is generating a false message that prevents the ntfs partition from being mounted read/write. Others such as slacko have no problem mounting it.
Executing this code results in:
Executing this code results in:
Code: Select all
# mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Operation not permitted
The NTFS partition is hibernated. Please resume and shutdown Windows
properly, or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option, or
mount the volume read-write with the 'remove_hiberfile' mount option.
For example type on the command line:
mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
WARNING: NTFS f.s. mounted read-only.

@jim1911: Here is something to try.
Pick a Puppy where NTFS mounting works and copy its ntfs-3g components into Precise.
For example, I went into Wary 5.3 and got the files /bin/ntfs-3g, /lib/libntfs-3g.so.79 and /lib/libntfs-3g.so.79.0.0.
I dropped these into Precise and mounted an NTFS partition. It worked.
Do you have a way of restoring your Win8 setup if something bad happens? Do you really want to be writing into its partition in the first place?

Your suggestion worked. I deleted files ntfs-3g, libntfs-3g.so.831, and libntfs-3g.so831.0.0 and replaced them with slacko 5.5.70 files nfts-3g, libntfs-3g.so.83, and libntfs-3g.so.83.0.0 and it's working perfectly.
As for restoration of my Windows 8 partition, I have full backup, however I am frequently writing to the mbr since I use grub4dos and allow it to change the mbr and I make frequent edits to the menu.lst on that partition. Never a problem.
I do have another problem with precise that's right down your alley. Xsane cannot find my HP all-in-one. I have installed your hplip_scan-3.12.4.pet which has always been reliable.
Thanks,
Jim
