Apps :: Problems with UNC's



Two I've tried since yesterday that haven't worked (i.e., don't load, cause desktop icons to freeze, etc.)

mplayer.unc
gcc1-with -libs.unc

I'm using a Dell latiitude laptop with 3.2 installed (frugal, grub); 250M ram

Loaded:
gtk2.0705.unc
gnumeric.unc
jre1.5.uci
tcltk-8.4.uci
firefox-1.5.uci

Topic moved to extensions.

Until all extensions are UCI or self contained ala RAD, you may always have one extension possibly overwriting files or libraries of the system or even another extension's required environment.

Since extensions are built by the community, there is no assurance that all extension combinations will play nice. YMMV.



Sorry for misdirecting the post.  Since the dsl versions of the extentions have never presented any problems, I must have wrongly assumed that it might be a UNC issue.
I experimented a bit more, using mplayer.unc.  The problem ONLY occurs when the unc is loaded from Emelfm. It appears to load successfully, but then the desktop icons freeze (e.g, Emelfm, Firefox, Siag, etc.....not DSLpanel, which has a .lua extention). Mplayer loaded from xterm works fine.

See change log since v3.0. Do not use Emelfm to load extensions.
