Just installed DSL v4.0 downloaded abiword, rcfirewall and cups. Each time i reboot another duplicate entry is added to mydsl. Now have multiple enteries for same program and no end in site. Any ideas.Must be a traditional hard drive installation. The MyDSL system was never intended to be use with traditional hard drive installed system. Instead MyDSL was designed for frugal and live CD based systems.
Nevertheless, MyDSL is being used in such environment. Therefore the clean-up of menus needs to occur.
It is a simple addtional three lines of code to effect this. As root user (or sudo su) edit the file
/usr/bin/cleanMyDSL.sh
At line 19 it is currently
fi
change it to
Code Sample
else cp /etc/skel/.jwmmydsl /home/dsl/.jwmmydsl rm /home/dsl/.fluxbox/mydsl.menu fi
This should clean and restore the menu(s) in a manner similar to that of frugals and liveCD.Roberts
Thank you Worked as suggested. It's great to have access to your understanding of DSL. Can you imagine Bill Gates solving windows user problems in a similar manner.
NostrdammcleanMyDSL is obsoleted in v4.1. The good news is that traditional hard drive installed is better supported in v4.1 as the issue raised does not occur in 4.1.
