Hi Juanito...

Upgrading to this new 32-bit JWM results in a failed boot to GUI.

My system has been booting without errors and this was the only extension updated.

Hope this helps, my bootscreen indicated fribidi.tcz not found.

Will revert to the old JWM until i hear about a fix.

Thanks - nitram.

If it says that fribidi is not found then download and load fribidi 

[nitram]

Removed then re-installed JWM, fribidi now in the .dep file, everything works. Thanks.
