Nah! Knights beat Knights and Titans had the best seat in the house to watch the disintegration while it happened! :roll:

Re: HDD space on which /mnt/home is being eating up

After installing rc3, I wanted to see some things in previous releases of 4.10. So I copied the corresponding pup_420.sfs to /mnt/home before rebooting and selecting that version.
I rebooted and when done did the same to prepare for a next version switch. As the copy operation is merely a copy-replace I didn't expect trouble, but still I got a message 'not enough space'. I then saw that I only had 33MB as a pup_420.sfs file. I deleted and freed some 300MB.
I went on with this process to change releases a couple of times until I again had a msg 'not enough space left' and had a 1.5MB pup_420.MB file.

So I wonder what happens to the 300MB I had freed.

How can I regain this lost space?
Did some more investigation.

I will spare you all the details, but it boiled down that there were unassigned clusters.

As the partition is vfat, I did run fsck /dev/sda2 -a.

I got a lot of FSCK00xx.REC files and deleted them.

I recovered 1.3GB of space.

So I still think there is a flaw in the copy/replace script.
When not enough space for the operation, unassigned clusters are generated.

I think it's a problem which should be taking care of.

Yes I had some strange error when trying to delete a folder, it delete most of the stuff but 4 items it wouldn't let me delete, It gave some strange error.
Also Since people weren't talking much on the forum, I had some fun, I installed the latest LXpanel and hacked box, It ran ok, but the menus were messed up, probably could borrow some lx configs from other packages etc. Also I don't recall anyone using hackedbox on puppy.
anyways image below. i guess i was the first one to change window managers on 4.2 ,lol

It's those big earthworms in Korumburra mate.

" The presence of Giant Gippsland Earthworms can be heard if you
stamp the ground above their burrows. Startled by the overhead
disturbance, they will slide rapidly through the series of tunnels and
create a very distinct gurgling. This noise is caused by the Giant
Gippsland Earthworm's slipping through a special fluid secretion
that they produce to lubricate their burrows. '

Oh ya I compiled the latest glib on puppy 4.2, because lxpanel wanted gio 2.0 and that comes with Glib and its working just fine, So I made a package, I guess The latest Firefox is really stable with the latest Glib and flash, So If any of you testers what to try it out, Here's the link

He WhoDo, I've been compiling withthe new Glib, and its working just fine, Whats the chances on getting rid of the older buggy one and replacing it with the latest version? I did find 1.44MB of extra space uncompressed space today :) What I did was, I took the 4.2 RC3 iso and mounted it then I copied the usr/lib folder into a folder and deleted all the shortcuts and folders, then I had like 165 libs sitting there, so then I started stripping them all, to see if some weren't stripped yet, and before you know it 1.44MB uncompressed lib space was recovered. Now just remember libs don't compress well, so that could give you maybe around 0.5 - 1MB compressed of space, but you'll have to manually copy them.
still less work then I did, LOL your always getting the better end of the deal :)
I'll package them and upload them.

4.2 RC2 multisession DVD+RW upgraded to 4.2 RC3 (with Burniso2cd in RC2).

The seashore background is very nice. I like it.

Youtube videos now play fine. They wouldn't in RC2.

The info shown by Burniso2cd while it's working is still white characters on an orange background. No big deal, but I thought the characters were changed back to black in RC2.

Remaster Express Icon Should be changed to the lightning bolt, It just doesn't flow nice with the rest of the icons in the list, Plus the name is tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Long.
Its the longest name in the list, almost a paragraph. drop the 'custom & creator' on the end, then it should fit better.

man you like to spread that around,lol
here's the thing, It takes countless hours to properly build seamonkey, and the rip it apart, retheme it and add monkey menus, test it, package it, upload it etc.
So I looked at the changes, One was print preview, I already fixed that one myself a few months back, It didn't work on previous 4 series either, I'm still impressed that I figured out a fix for a bug, lol
next was they fixed issues with flash player 5&6 lol we are using 9 series and those fixes don't really apply, I'll see maybe this weekend, but I'm not looking forward to it,

No difference.

BTW, now trialling 2.0.3-1 and the clock just won't show until the first click of the desktop or any icon. Then it stays there as it's supposed to do, even through restarts of X, etc.

I'm about to trial 2.0.4 so I'll report afterwards.

Clock is not showing up: Are you referring to the 'Apply' button in the main window, or a fresh system boot.

Something is weird: - There is no clock sleep value in preferences (Pwidgets 2.0.3)

What is this mystery?
I don't know ... it's a mystery! :P

I'm trialing the localised petget scripts again. Maybe the originals were corrupted or something. They definitely wouldn't run petget when RC3 was released. Clearly replacing the original and then updating with the localised scripts has made use of something that was missing in the original build. Still investigating. :arrow:

I see the clock sleep is still in pwidgetsrc. I will remove it.

Another thing. The content of /root/Startup/0_show_widgets should be

fixwidgets -boot &


The boot parameter gives a 3 sec sleep in fixwidgets.

Bonjour,
@Whodo,
Here a fixed /usr/sbin/petget localized.
Tested in RC3 instead of original. Can you test yourself?
Cordialement ;)

Fresh system boot, Sigmund. All the other widgets and the sidebar come straight up after clicking yaf-splash and closing the initial welcome window. Xonclock requires a click either on the desktop or an icon before it arrives. It's as though ROX has taken the foreground and clicking on the desktop pushes it back so the clock becomes visible? After that first click, everything is fine - switch wm's, restart X, etc. Clock is always there with everything else. It's just that very first appearance. :?

OTOH, speed is KING for Pwidgets now. No lags. No delays. Smooth as silk! :wink:

The official name of the app is 'RemaX',not 'Remaster Express'. A simple rename should do the trick :)
