tinycore_2.4rc4

[perthie]

Testing 2.4rc4 from scratch, I was unable to install Flash into Opera. The problem was that the getflash10 installer expects to see the empty folder /usr/local/lib/opera/plugins. This folder was missing from the Opera setup but after I created it manually, Flash would install. I wonder if the new extension loading mechanism does not create empty folders.

It is not new. This matter is discussed in the .info file.of getFlash.tcz

Downloads from Adobe.
                Extracts linux libflashplayer.so
                Setup libflashplayer for either Minefield, Firefox, Opera,
      Seamonkey or all four. Also includes compiled libflashsupport.so
      for OSS sound. libflashsupport is licensed under Creative
      Commons Attribution 3.0.
                Finally packages a flash10.tce to add to your tce collection.
.
                NOTE: You must have already downloaded the browser and OSS.
                You must have started the browser at least once!
                You must have OSS started with the sound on menu option.
                Then select getFlash9 from the Apps menu.
.
                If you already have your tce directory setup, then a flash10.tcz
                will be installed there, otherwise it is in /tmp/tce/.  flash10.tcz
      will be loaded upon completion of the getflash script.
.
                CAUTION: Flash10 requires gtk2 which is quite large.

It is always important to read the .info, that is why appbrowser and appbrowser-cli always displays the info file. It contains instructions and/or required environment for the particular extension.

I experienced a changed backup behaviour of jwm after installing TC 24rc4. See below.

It seems /home/tc/.jwmrc-tray either isn't backuped or its backup is overwritten with old content.

It's solvable via an .xsession overwrite-entry -  don't know if this is expected behaviour of jwm.

This was already discussed and you should be using the jwm.tcz in the release candidate area.

Good morning:

Duplicate entry in main pulldown menu:

Perhaps reported already.

Right clicking on the background yields a pulldown menu with various applications, etc. In 2.4rc4 I see two entries for "Refresh Menu", as follows:

Refresh Menu
Refresh_Menu

I re-checked vs rc3. Did not happen in rc3.

Best regards,

sci_fi

Not a duplicate. Delete the one with the space. It is not needed and it is not in /etc/skel.
It, the one with the space, persisted as a result of your backup/restore.

I typically don't backup my .wmx directory.

if there are no open windows alt+tab doesn't work and if I ctrl+alt+f1 I see:got an escape press in main

Hi Roberts,

Thanks for the prompt reply. My apologies if I am missing something.

I do not backup /etc/skel/.wmx .  Double checked my .filetool.lst file to be sure. See listing below:

opt/bootlocal.sh
opt/backgrounds
opt/.tcrc
opt/.filetool.lst
opt/.xfiletool.lst
home/tc

I am booting tc4rc3 and then rebooting tc4rc4 with exactly the same mydata.tgz file.  I am not doing a backup between the boots. The only thing that changed is the rc version.  The rc3 boot shows one entry as described above. The rc4 boot shows two.  Is there another file I am saving that contains the extra entry?

Sorry if I am missing something basic.

Best regards,

sci_fi

.wmx is also in /home/tc

[roberts]

Because everything under home/tc is in the backup.

I have in /opt/.xfiletool.lst

home/tc/.wmx

Thank you, roberts and jls. Sorry for the confusion. I did not know there is a .wmx directory in /home/tc. I appreciate your help.

Best regards,

Your feedback helps. I need to mention this in the release notes.

Does it happen when using an alternate window manager?
