Seamonkey question ...

Something happened on my wife's laptop such that the very top black bar - which includes the title and the icons to minimize, close, resize - is missing.

I cannot spot where I'd cause it to return.

Anyone have the answer, please?

@edoc, you either hit 'undecorate' or dragged the window up behind the taskbar. Grab on to a corner and stretch it out to the side. Then you can pull it back down. You can avoid this by setting margins in the openbox configuration.

Thew xfe filemanager is a separate sfs addon. The first delta patch also contains fix to DevX and 3_devextra along w/ JL64-603 fix. the second only contains JL64-603 fix. There's a readme file which explains it.

So these three are what I need? Of am I missing a 4th?

The latest flash I've seen is Flash-11.2.202.491. It seems every new upgrade renders the previous unusable for some sites. But you say you've upgraded, so it's probably something else. I don't use ff, and I'm not familiar with hulu, but it may be the video rendering in lighthouse itself. Try using xorgwizard (modesetting driver). Then install the opengl pet at gdrive (mesa-9.17 + glu). Playing with the xfe pet, I discovered it plays hell with the display in kde. I've rebuilt that sfs and added the opengl pet in a remaster and that solved the video problems I encountered. The preferable thing to try is the delta patches for JL64-603.sfs and 3_devextra inside 150814deltas.tar.gz at gdrive. If you do that, forget opengl_JL64-1.pet. Don't know what else to suggest.df

Just scrolled-up & saw this - thanks - I will run these things down.

[/quote]ps., google lost the iso during a lightening strike so there is no iso at gdrive til the 27th, when my upload quota resets. Oh the joys of cloud computing and high speed interweb. My first linux ran off a floppy disk and a 28k modem @ $9 a month![/quote]

What about a couple of backup hosting sites?

I think I can set up a FTP location and/or just put it on a Web page where it could be downloaded.

Also, aren't there some free host sites, or have they all gone commercial?

150816-JL64-603.sfs___JL64-603.sfs.delta if you downloaded 150816-JL64-603.iso and are working with that basefile. 150804-JL64-603.sfs___JL64-603.sfs.delta is for 150804-JL64-603.iso but also has the Dev patches.

Don't use the opengl pet. It doesn't fit any more. By the way, if you use Tazoc's compiz-fusion addon, it removes that top bar on purpose. I don't have the video hardware to support it, so I haven't messed with it too much.

Also, I think I've mentioned this before but I routinely start a new session/save with xorgwizard. The stock driver gives a mooshy black screen on and off, like washing with pine tar.

There are free webhosts, but not for 5+ gigabytes. I did think of setting one up for small files and patches.

Black screen - even though I can mouse-over the timeline and see screenshots - it won't stream.

I updated to the latest version of Flash and still no joy.

EDIT: I also flushed the Flash cache, updated Firefox, and rebooted. Same result. Is it Hulu, FF, or Flash that broke something in the Linux version this time?

Thoughts, please?

No luck with Hulu here either using FF 40.0.2 and flash 11.2.202.508. Interestingly enough, no problem with Youtube.

Side note, in PCLOS 64 with the same flash and FF 39 (not updated in the repos yet because of problems with FF 40) Hulu works normally.

Satori · #227 Post by **Satori** » Wed 19 Aug 2015, 16:28

Hulu is broken for me too, as of a few days ago, and it is on chrome 44.0 running on DDog Debian Jessie.
Also fails on Chrome Beta 45.0.

Was running fine, now it gives a 'Protected Content error 3336', and produces the same error on
FatDog, Vivid, pupWheezy and Tahr.

Mozilla just gives a black, blank screen with a commercial running in the audio.

Funny thing is, it ran for a few hours early in the morning yesterday then died again later.

The same videos run fine if I go to the original source... ABC.com, Funimation, Crackle and other anime sites.

Me thinks Hulu no longer likes Linux, or as least the mini-distros like puppy.

So do you think that running with hal-0.5.14-x86_64-3.sfs (or the same as a pet from lhp.org) would help, since it is hal and not a mimic? If so, the sfs is in the ExtraSFS directory at g-drive.

if it's a DRM problem then yes just installing hal might work ...same as the stub

edoc · #231 Post by **edoc** » Sat 22 Aug 2015, 19:03

This fixed hulu for me:

hal-0.5.14-x86_64-3.sfs

I still have to figure out which update to apply as the precise JL64 version I have loaded is unclear to me.

Also, do I really need to pay any attention to the warning about hiding the old savefile?

For Seamonkey I wish there was an update script that would pull the most recently active Mozilla_Profile file, copy & symlink (link-relative) it, just to save those steps for every upgrade - otherwise it's easier to just reuse the savefile - which I take it may create some problems?

edoc · #232 Post by **edoc** » Sat 22 Aug 2015, 19:06

Alkinea has been converting my .odt file to epub and mobi versions just fine ... now it only converts to epub.

Is it possible that loading

hal-0.5.14-x86_64-3.sfs

caused some sort of conflict?

Note: This is on a laptop running an old LH64 version - and on which loading "hal....." did not solve the hulu problem as it did on the JL64 machine.

edoc · #233 Post by **edoc** » Sun 23 Aug 2015, 15:50

OK, just had a chance to check that laptop - without a dozen interruptions (and with a cup of coffee on board) - and it seems I never did get past jl64-603g with several of the tweaks you posted in the past.

QUESTION: If I want to load the latest and greatest am I correct that I need:

150816-JL64-603.iso
150816-JL64-603.sfs___JL64-603.sfs.delta

... and nothing else?

Well, OK, the hal ... SFS for hulu.

Also, since I cannot see what is killing the top bar in Seamonkey, if I reinstall it that should fix it?

Is there a preferred way to reinstall Seamonkey?

I can fix the default profile pointer in /.mozilla/seamonkey/profiles.ini afterwards - to restore her address book, etc.

Try the F11 key which toggles the browser.

Hope this helps

edoc · #235 Post by **edoc** » Sun 23 Aug 2015, 16:35

WOW ... that was too simple!

That fixed the problem ... "momma" will be pleased ... which is good news for me.

edoc · #236 Post by **edoc** » Sun 23 Aug 2015, 22:04

This looks interesting - especially for newbies to Linux - and maybe others tired of fussing with GRUB, etc.

Other than the personal use only, are there other downsides?

more builtin_files

Dry Falls · #238 Post by **Dry Falls** » Tue 01 Sep 2015, 23:56

uploaded palemoon-25.2.1-x86_64-JL64.sfs which includes the updater/installer and sqlite-3.7.17-x86_64-1 (also available as an independent txz file).

Sylvander · #239 Post by **Sylvander** » Wed 02 Sep 2015, 07:31

1. Whilst running in Slacko-5.7.0-pae, I downloaded builtins-patch.tar.gz to /mnt/home/02-just-lighthouse/Downloads, and unpacked it there.
Then...

2. Rebooted into jL64, and used ROX to left-click on the patch-builtins.sh file.
There was a momentary blip/flash, otherwise no obvious sign that anything had happened.
Has the job been properly done?
How would I know?.

Dry Falls · #240 Post by **Dry Falls** » Wed 02 Sep 2015, 16:40

I should have put in the script a little yaf-splash, but that's only cosmetic. Check /root/.packages/builtin_files to see if the new "trees" have materialized. I've never known 'installdir' not to perform flawlessly. I'm constructing the directory trees as I get to it, and am about half way there. It's all part of the effort to get gslapt, ppm2 and Barry k's 'remove-builtins' more fully functional.
