Hi

Just tried - both downloaded OK for me....and md5sum checked OK

Did you click "Open" for the SFS download from e-nautia?

Which download was failing - the sfs from enautia or the pet from 5gbfree?

Suggest try again.....

Cheers

The sfs. I had to switch to Windows for enautia to allow me to get the file
thanks

Which browser on which Puppy were you using???

I need to know if there is a more general problem with enautia downloads.....

All of them downloaded fine for me - and I'm using SeaMonkey v2.20 from Precise-5.7.1.

I hope this helped somehow? Maybe caused you to pulled even more hair out PeeBee. I hope not! You should see how bald I've become because of nutty little things like this!

Thanks Eyes-Only - I too can download AOK using SeaMonkey in Precise5.7.1 so ikaros262 must have some specific problem with his? setup....only thing I can think of might be lack of savefile if he? is downloading there....

You will be pleased to know that no hair has been lost as a result of this....but thanks for your concern lol.

The pets have been updated to version 021 - the change is that the installation process has been given an "improved" window manager activation switch.

At the same time, deactivation and switching back to JWM or the previous WM is achieved by using the Puppy Package Manager to unload the pet.

Here is a version of LxPup-by-SFS for Pemasu's Dpup Wheezy 3.5.2

The SFS is actually the Slacko one:
lxpup-by-sfs_S.5.6.04.sfs 1b9e51ae27147ed284248e0c1103eb80 14.4MB

The setup pet is however unique to Dpup Wheezy:
lxpupsetup-d.3.5.2.pet 0997979faba7c1ce69c090c8e5755531 722KB

Install as described in post #1

Here is a work around for the icon problems in newer woof-CE pups, it should only run if the autostart dir is populated.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
if [ -d $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart/ ];then
 for file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart/*.desktop
  do 
  [ "$file" ]||exit
  EXEC=`grep ^Exec $file|cut -d '=' -f2|awk '{print $1}'` #strip options
  [ "$EXEC" = "firewallstaterun" ] && EXEC=firewallstate #work around
  echo $EXEC #DEBUG
  PID=
  CNT=0
  until [ "$PID" -o $CNT = 9 ] 
   do
    echo -n "$CNT " #DEBUG
    PID=`pidof $EXEC`
    echo " pid: $PID" #DEBUG
    [ "$PID" ] && kill -9 $PID && break
    CNT=$(($CNT + 1))
    sleep 0.5 #only sleep if needed
   done
  done
 #sleep 1
 for desktop in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart/*.desktop
  do 
  echo $desktop #DEBUG
  xdg-open $desktop
  done
fi

Goes in ~/Startup/
#Comment the lines marked #DEBUG

You can do away with that hack in 1-lxde-startup.sh (line 6), or at least make it conditional, something like a test for the desktop files, or even better, kill and rerun all files in /root/startup or as a last resort add some sleep at the top of the code I just posted, and call it zhack (or something with a z so it execs last).

Here is a work around for the icon problems in newer woof-CE pups,

Gosh!! Thanks Mick.....

Grateful if you could say in simple terms what your patch does?

And do you know why it is needed? Is it a bug in lxpanelx?

Will the patch be needed as a permanent feature of any systems using lxpanel/lxpanelx?

I had started to work out last night where the problem lay and had discovered that if I moved all the tray items from .config/autostart to /etc/autostart and removed the line #6 then the icons worked unless a panel restart was done. But that was as far as i had got.

Thanks
Peter

BTW - for other interested readers, this only applies to the new testing versions of Slacko5.7 which contain new svg icons.

Hi Peter,

It's a bug in lxpanelx. A timing issue. As SFR stated lxpanel is unaffected.

I would report it to the developer if I were you. He may be able to add a few milliseconds delay or track down the issue that causes it.

Oh, and if he tells you try starting from /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart (aka $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/LXDE/autostart) file the same issue occurs. (that file can be in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/LXDE/ too)

What my work around does (and that's all it is) is kill each process when it is actually started (because it doesn't get the background colour) then restart them. It's pretty simple actually, just finds each process ID when it starts, kills it, then once they are all killed it restarts them. The slow down is powerapplet_tray as on desktops it doesn't run, so the full 4 seconds (sleep 0.5 x 8 ) [ ha.. cant post digit 8 character ')' on the forum, get ] is taken up. Not a huge issue. I think that restart you are doing is rather the problem with the cpu maxing out issue.

In my tests it works flawlessly with line 6 commented (in 1-lxde-startup.sh)

HTH
