I am one of those dreaded "Out of the Box" old guys.
And we wouldn't want it any other way!
It was nothing I did on purpose. I guess you don't have any idea what makes it work, huh?put mouse cursor over an open window, push the alt key and simultaneously hold down the left mouse, a cross appear where the cursor is then you can drag the window. needed to see boundaries of large windows in small screens.
works in every puppy and quirky but fails in lupu 113 and 114. cant remember if 112 was OK
I reported this already in the 113 bug thread in wich I said I reported it already before.playdayz wrote:It was nothing I did on purpose.

01micko already has the answer. A bug in jwm 490. He has gotten 491 ready. Whew. He's superman. And I am so glad I didn't cause it I don't mind admitting that I am pretty fried of looking through complex code and trying to make changes without causing disaster.I reported this already in the 113 bug thread in wich I said I reported it already before.
This way of doing is a standard way of handling windows. I have no idea what has gone wrong.
Thanks rjbrewer, I am looking for a command I could put into a shell script that would exit the window manager and run a command, xorgwizard in my case. The purpose would be to automate the process for people who have to run xorgwizard to get a correct video driver, etc.
Don't know about Lucid, but normally:
Menu>shutdown>exit to prompt
or
Control>alt>backspace

seems to work ok[/quote] Yes! That's it! And here it is in an executable file, in case no one else did that yet (I had to tar it to get it past the extension censor in this forum). Just untar, put the "excon" script in an appropriate directory, and have First Run Configuration invoke it on demand, instead of telling users to exit to prompt and type xorgwizard (which they can't very well do with non-US keyboards). Just in time for Lucid Puppy 115--yes? And, um, the drive icon alignment will also be up to the standard set by Puppy 4.3.1--yes? :D

strangely quirky021 package manager could connect. so just lupu for now.01micko wrote:Am I ever out of it?aarf wrote:more grief for you micko

Is it in Quirky too, or Lupu specific? If it's in Quirky you may have to take it to the BV himself, else I'll deal with it.
