Release Candidates :: DSL v3.2 RC2

Yes, you are correct.
It is fixed in RC3 which will be out very soon.
Thanks for reporting.

My guess it should be "ps -ax"?

Hello Robert!

I think I've encountered a bug in DSL 3.2RC2. When doubleclicking on a picture-file (.jpg) in emelfm as root, this message comes up: "sh: line 1: xv: command not found". I guess that it isn't supposed to be that way. In the "normal" emelfm it shows the picture and it used to be so in superuser mode also. Hope this is of some help. Thanks a lot for all the work you put in to this wonderful distro!

As always have fun,

meo,

The xv comes from a default of emelfm.

Here is the situation:

ok as user dsl
ok when right click and run emelfm as superuser

But, if you shell out and become user root, then you have root's home dir and root's own bashrc profile etc. Now DSL as a liveCD or frugal is not multiuser, ie, /etc/skel is not setup for user root. Therefore when running in this mode, you start with a completely empty home for user root, i.e., /root
Now if you run emelfm you will get the default .emelfm and its associative filetypes, which equate jpg with xv

I suppose I could setup the /etc/skel into /root directory, but DSL's target is very small machines and all those files and inodes could be a quite a impact for say the 32MB users, when in fact, it is never recommended to run your system as root.

If one insists on this, then an easy approach would be to copy /etc/skel into /root which could be done in /opt/bootlocal.sh

If the demand from the community is there, I will presetup this. It is just that I am very sensitive when it comes to using ramdisk, and inodes, and a strong aversion from running everyhting as user root.

Hi again Robert!

What I did was to open emelfm as super-user from the menu and then trying to view a picture by doubleclicking on it. The thing is that to save pictures or whatewer somewhere you have to be root if you are using emelfm. Even as in my case using a virtual hd on a CF-card. So if you have saved some pictures and want to make sure you copy the right one doubleclicking on them won't help you. So if you don't want to use the command-line you have to switch from emelfm as superuser and as user dsl. It worked in DSL 3.1 so as it is not mentioned as a change in the log I just assumed it would work the same way in the 3.2 series as in 3.1. Keep up the good work!

Have fun,
meo
