I have swapped Xdialog versions between BionicPup64 and FossaPup64 and find that both versions' updating works in BionicPup64 but not in FossaPup64!

So it is not a problem with Xdialog, but with something else in the recent Puppies that impacts Xdialog.

This looks messy.

EDIT: I see the same issue in EasyOS-2.3.2; the tailbox updating does not occur.

None of the Xdialog pets updated the display beyond the first line.

Although I don't expect that Xdialog-2.6.5-x86_64.pet will show anything but the first line, it actually did not get that far! It aborted with an exit code of 134. FWIW, here is the trace:

Code: Select all

+ Xdialog --center --wmclass pgprs --title 'Pgprs GPRS Connection Log' --backtitle 'NOTICE: If log shows a failure to connect, click DISCONNECT to exit.' --ok-label 'DISCONNECT or stop trying' --cancel-label 'CLOSE window but stay online' --fixed-font --tailbox /tmp/.gprs_connect.log 25 82

+ local STATUS=134

I now suspect the 'tail' command, in case Xdialog uses it. I am about to look into that possibility, because I think I had trouble with it when I used it in an alternate implementation of that dialog. I assume that would implicate the kernel.

The desktop icons do not appear. Only gatotray and a cpu-load monitor appear in the tray, along with the 'menu' and 3 desktop icons. The task bar has the running programs, at expected. Conky displays as expected.

Rox-filer does not appear to run, as no window appears.

There is a continuing set of warnings in the xerrs.log, which keeps growing.

I am sending this from 9.0.3 by working from only the menu, in a new pupsave. I saw the same problems with my upgraded pupsave (from 9.0.2).

hi artstown ,

does the mixer work? if not right click on the volume icon and choose multiple sound card wizard

if the mixer is working and it's just the volume slider, open /root/.retrovolrc
and scroll down to near the end and swap the comments on the tray_control section.
example ........

Code: Select all

#tray_control=37
tray_control=18

to

Code: Select all

tray_control=37
#tray_control=18

save the changes, then quit retrovol with right click & quit then restart from the menu

Thank you for this release candidate, it's very worth it!
Solved many detail and Palemoon is really updated!

I very much lack the possibility of full install. Have an old-new PC for this to try. Are there any script for do it?

What is happen to gatotray? see the image.
