I installed and booted from an usb stick, following method A with fsf.
Oh the color mint green is horrible , (my taste is different I know).

Starting seamonkey for the first time takes a long time. But starting the OS seems quite fast.
In dmesg I got

Code: Select all

[    6.576207] udevd[5006]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/mtp-probe' 'mtp-probe /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:12.2/usb1/1-5 1 2': No such file or directory

/tmp/xerrs.log gives

Code: Select all

JWM: warning: /root/.jwm/jwmrc-theme[10]: invalid tag in Active: Corner
JWM: warning: /root/.jwm/jwmrc-theme[16]: invalid tag in Inactive: Corner

There is even a ping to google.com

softmaker replaces abiword and asks for a key, didnt try this yet.
Same for calc, gnumeric is replaced.
Clicking the desktop "file" icon makes ROX go to /file/ , but usually I think it goes to /root/ ?
Clicking the chat icon, what program is it ? It asks name and password... qutim ? I dont know it...

It's not you, the green IS horrible, it is fatiguing for the eyes...but hey, it's spring in Oz

Themes and colors are easily changed.

There is even a ping to google.com

WHAT? Google.com? Will we ever learn?

That's a design decision. Very dificult situation: Abiword, although perfect for short editing, is not ready for real life, but Gnumeric easily wins the spreadsheet contest.

Clicking the desktop "file" icon makes ROX go to /file/ , but usually I think it goes to /root/ ?

Ha, glad I'm not the only one confused..If I remember correctly, Barry wanted to address the security problem when all important stuff resides in /root.

I'll have a small horn of barley brew now

install libmtp-runtime to fix that

I pulled the nvidia graphics card out of my lenovo desktop pc in favor
of the builtin intel graphics and did a new install to the hard drive.

Thanks, that will be in the 6.2.1 Service Pack.

linuxcbon, regarding those <corner> tags, that was supported in an earlier version of JWM. JWM now just ignores them, but posts a warning.

seamonkey is much more stable and uses less ram, guess why ? there is no adobe flash crap. Some youtube videos cannot play, but it's not the majority.

linuxcbon · #760 Post by **linuxcbon** » Sun 26 Oct 2014, 12:42

I tested softmaker "textmaker" but sadly it doesn't display images in my .doc file and exporting to pdf doesn't include the image...planmaker (gnumeric replacement) opens ok.
I installed openoffice and libreoffice, and they don't have that problem, they display the .doc ok. So I would recommend them instead of softmaker, unless softmaker solve this bug.

Thanks, fixed.

The problem was that the ofx libs have moved from /usr/lib to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu, which broke the FIXUPHACK script in the libofx template. Or rather, broke it more.

Thanks, I have added DEB package libepoxy0 (and libepoxy-dev).

Ah, libdb-5.3.so is in the devx PET. I wanted it to be there because it is so big.

But it looks like it is needed in the main filesystem. OK, fixed.

Did some fixes in the bdb template.

When I tested textmaker, I opened /usr/share/examples/text/testdoc.doc, which has images in it, and they did display.

gnumeric is essential.

Gnumeric is available in Puppy Package Manager.
