Release Candidates :: DSL-2.1RC1

Two bugs to report with 2.1RC1:

1. Problem with UCI extensions. In emelfm using MyDSL button or double clicking fails to load UCI extension. Error message reads:

Please mount media containing optional dir and try again

CLI error shown in EMELFM lower box :

/mnt/auto/cdrom/optional/openoffice.uci: No such file or directory

I am runing 2.1RC1 on VMplayer with UCI & dsl extensions mounted on a separate iso. DSL extensions mount OK.

2. TED doesn't have a tab & can't be docked, or accept other applications being docked using the tab.

Keep up the good work!

EDIT: Now found the problem with the uci mounting lies in /etc/init.d/mountci. I can't decipher all of the script but it looks like there is a problem if the uci is on CDROM2 (DSL naming) which mine was under vmplayer. (I had the hardware cdrom mounted as CDROM2 in VMplayer = CDROM1 in DSL & the iso file with the uci mounted as CDROM3 = CDROM2 in DSL). Changing the iso containing the uci's to CDROM2 under VMplayer (=CDROM1 in DSL) cures the problem.

Thanks for Ted! - putting Ted back in is a very good idea for .rtf - now I won't have to autoload the Ted extension every time I boot.

I assume Ted and Scite were removed back when for space-saving reasons. Scite is far better for writing scripts than Beaver etc (global find & replace is awful on Beaver). I can see though that Beaver is a better all-round text prog than Scite - Scite is for coding in my view. I load Scite on every boot too.

It'll take me a while to catch up with this release - I'm still trying to find time to investigate issues with dsl-2.0.

Does any release support AMD 64 bit?

FYI,

Torsmo is using less memory than the old dockapps on my computer.

868k to be exact

Glad to hear that once again we are running on less system resources. That is our goal. Thanks to monkymind we will improve Torsom's appearance in the next cut.
