Lucid Puppy 113 Bugs, Fixes, and Poll
Although, I haven’t used this Gparted to do any operations, I did try to locate information about my partitions. Partitions are identified accurately, however, as the desktop photo shows, some key information about partitions is not present in particular the UUID which must be used in the menu.lst with some pups and is primarily used by major distros.
Sorry, don’t trust this one.

I didn't experience any Firefox crashes on 113, until I downloaded Opera. Firefox crashes if Opera is also running. Opera occasionally makes the system hang -- and Iron (Chromium) frequenetly makes the system hang.
This version has difficulty remembering the correct time. I have reset it several times.

as for volume, absvolume has been unstable since the switch to 2.6.30.5 in Puppy-430. Let's go with Retrovol http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=50744
that timezone bug is funny, I ran "timezone-set" out side of X and my timezone is saved now... I can't work out why, especially since it threw an error...

What puzzles me is why this and other bugs that don't exist in Puppy 4.3.1, such as drive icon misalignment, are now popping up in the Lucid Puppy pre-releases. Why not just re-use the identical code from 4.3.1 that makes these things work right?01micko wrote:that timezone bug is funny, I ran "timezone-set" out side of X and my timezone is saved now...

Easier said than done. Using the Ubuntu binaries seems the issue, but in saying that, new ground is being broken here. With exploration there are always obstacles. We will find and conquer! (After all, they are only bugs )What puzzles me is why this and other bugs that don't exist in Puppy 4.3.1, such as drive icon misalignment, are now popping up in the Lucid Puppy pre-releases. Why not just re-use the identical code from 4.3.1 that makes these things work right?

Editing .xinitrc per Pizzasgood instructions results in retrovol dialogue box with the volume mixers pops up on boot/restart.
leaving absvolume entry in .xinitrc results in no dialogue box popup but the retrovol icon back ground in tray doesn't match jwm theme.
You can realign the icons manually. I assume that only some event controlled activations are missing.pa_mcclamrock wrote: What puzzles me is why this and other bugs that don't exist in Puppy 4.3.1, such as drive icon misalignment, are now popping up in the Lucid Puppy pre-releases.

Drive icons.
I had the drive icons overlapping and even worse at a subsequent boot.
I had to use the redraw function to get the icons properly aligned.

Simpel Network Setup
I reported already earlier.
I have a long list of routers. Normally I drag the list with ALT and left mouse button, but this doesn't work.
I have the same drag problem when I display a pdf file.

Printen to cups-pdf
Altho all seems ok, no pdf file is created.
I tried when printing from my e-mail (wine) application and from a text file in geany.
However when printing from text in geany I get the opton print to file which works, not in my e-mail (wine) client.
EDIT
This solves the problem.

Correct. To me, a staunch Puppy user for years now, realigning the icons manually is a minor inconvenience. To at least some newer users, I think, it would be a sign that the Puppy developers might not know how to get things done right. But of course it won't really, since the problem will be solved before the final release of Puppy 5!ecube wrote:You can realign the icons manually.

eeepc acpi scripts
I'm using Lucid Puppy 113. I chose it because it has screen panning and the newer kernel. I thought the EEEpc ACPI scripts were integrated into this kernel, but the hotkeys are not working. I tried installing the deb from http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/ma ... 10_all.deb. and rebooted, but still no luck.
I know tempestuous created a patched kernel for these scripts, but I think it is for .25, not .33.
Also, only the Lucid Main remains selected after OK in the package manager. Multiverse and Universe do not remain selected.
Cheers to your hard work.[/url]

Desktop drive icons information
I think I reported it before.
Either here or in a quirky feedback thread.
When going with the mouse cursor over the drive icons on the desktop, normally the file system and size is displayed in a pop-up.
Not in Lucid (nor in quirky). Only the file system is displayed, not the size.

It works for me, did you set your locale yet? Pmount crashes if you don't, maybe that is related?

Time off by 2 hours
Alltho I did set the timezone to my zone Europe/Brussels the clock is 2 hours ahead.
I went into desktop|set timezone.
I saw the correct timezone Europe/Brussels was displayed, so all I did was push ok and the clock jumped the two hours back to the correct time.
Rebooting this morning I saw the clock was again 2 hours ahead.
I did the same manipulation again resulting to have the clock jump back 2 hours to the correct time.
Kinda annoying.

non US keyboard selection.
Kinda annoying for those having a non-US keyboard.
Now that boot is done to the desktop to eventually do some more setup there is this annoying thing that for selecting the keyboard, when one pushes the button to do so the X command prompt is displayed and xorgwizard has to be typed.
Well try to do this on a non-US keyboard. A real pleasure and puzzle.
So I prefer that at least the keyboard can be selected during the first boot as it was before.
