Wary Puppy 5.2.2, 18 Nov. 2011

[zigbert]

Ok, now fixed

[don570]

I have a mtpaint bug report. It could be related to the upgrade of GTK
to version 2.24.5


It only occurs on newest wary, not on Lucid Puppy or Exprimo
or Lighthouse.
I haven't checked slacko.

Note that Karl Godt reported a somewhat similar
problem to me but I couldn't duplicate it
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=71332

Here is how to duplicate the bug.

-launch mtpaint
-make sure that settings window is visible
-from view menu ---> select 'Show dock'
-make sure that the dock is showing the list of layers
-make a picture that has at least one layer above the background
-Try to save a layer to your disk
or try 'Save composite Image'
and a strange freezing will occur and the image won't be saved.
A killing of the application is needed.
Here's a picture of the freezing...



I will report this to Dmitri.

Some remarks :
- /etc/init.d/10alsa : line 21, need delay ?
- line 34 front to 0 ?
- # modprobe pcmcia
FATAL: Module pcmcia not found.
It seems I don't have pcmcia card in pc ... but not sure if error normal.
-# . /etc/countryinfo
bash: /etc/countryinfo: No such file or directory
- do you plan to recompile abiword, mplayer, libavcodec, libgs to be smaller ?
- support for dialup modems still needed ? (example big sized Intel537.HIDE)
- remove fortran from gcc ?(big sized fortran)

Running from USB drive on laptop HP pavilion DV2000

Start gtkam from menu, then add camera (laptop buildin camera is "sonix"), while scrolling down the list system freezes. Mouse cursor moves, but keyboard and mouse clicks are dead. Only hard poweroff works.

I am not sure this ever worked, since this is the first time I try to use the webcam from puppy linux on this laptop.

edit: works OK for wary 5141 (camera is not in the list, but it allows selection of other camera's). 5141 does not freeze.

My laptop also has a builtin camera that is not recognised by gphoto -- it seems to be only for external cameras.

Gtkam has got the heave-ho, replaced by Pupcamera, something to look forward to in next Wary:

Does anyone have this problem also in another language?

It happens in every language.

If it is a problem for you try changing above last line to

#export LANG=C

Guys,
if all you guys who are running Wary (or Racy, or Slacko or anything else) and have a non-English locale, if you could confirm that Gparted now does not crash with that line commented-out.

That is, there is a line:

export LANG=C

in file /usr/sbin/gparted_shell. This script runs when you start Gparted from the menu.

If no reports of crashing, then I will make the change permanently.

[linuxcbon]

Gparted does not crash for me with that line commented out.

EDIT: sorry, the UTF-8 filenames are readable now with no problem. I have forgot to refresh ROX-Filer.

Guys,

The line is commented out on Japanese editions for long years and have got no issues.

[rodin.s]

Gparted doesn't crash with Russian locale as well.
I have a script for bluetooth and it has the line with 'hcitool scan' for searching devices. When I run the script in Wary it doesn't stop for scanning devices and jumps to the next command immediately. When I run the script in Slacko it stops, searches for devices and then continues.

I've made a new version of Right click pet package.
I checked it on this version of Wary and Shinobars

The 'intel' video driver is very slow, Xvesa is faster.

But if I use Xvesa I can not turn off trackpad tapping, the trackpad is too sensitive.

The 'intel' driver was selected by 'Probe', is there a better/faster Xorg driver so that I can disable this twitchy trackpad.

Hello James C
What produced the processor etc info in your png?

ok, I found a better xorg driver, quite a difference!
