Site News :: DSL v4.3

Sorry. It's apparently not Firefox after all. Although I hadn't had any trouble in the last few days since switching to Opera, I just got hit a few minutes ago. The only other new application I've been using recently is wget 1.11.2 (I had no troubles from a couple weeks of using 1.11.1 every day), so maybe you should not post that one for now. Other than that, I can only guess it might be hardware failure, although I'd assume that would completely freeze the system rather than just mess up all my applications.

Perhaps it's corrupted ram; try running memtest86+ through.

solved to close and exit with repetitive window " in mount media."...there was a traitor pendrive with an old backup and dsl sda-instaled that change the options to close...(i supoused)....if you can solved to newbes or advice in windows to close can be apreciated...

an observation is that the notepad lua (in editors portfolio)runs ok to type accents, diaresis in spanish keyboard, with es keyboard selected in control panel, and no tricks with xmodmap, if these feature can be done to others writters apps can be useful to internationalize dsl with no xfree and anothers tricks that bloat dsl..

Perhaps it's corrupted ram

That's possible, although it's really not going to be a happy day for me if that's the case.
I get an actual error message if I happen to be in linux console at the time: "Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0008000", so maybe it is a memory problem.

EDIT: I let memtest86+ run for a couple of hours (6 passes), and no error, so maybe it's not ram. Temperatures seem to be staying around 30C, so that shouldn't be an issue either.

I'm back to using DSL 4.2 for a while. If I continue to have problems I'll know it's something hardware related.

EDIT2: Same trouble with 4.2, so I know it's not DSL. Sorry to trouble you.

As far as I know, Murga did some custom coding in order to use menu item callbacks...apparently using the native FLTK methods was either causing trouble for him or it was just too much of a complication to use them directly...I'm just speculating. I don't know if this helps or hurts you.

This helps, Thanks! The callbacks to register the menu bindings are done in a lua file within murgaLua. By including those callbacks, I am now able to run editor.lua and iconView.lua without any problems. I will post a revision of the tarball within the next few days.

And speaking of editor.lua ... in the fltk-1.1.9 distro there is nice tiny editor made with fltk. I got it compiled in less than 15Kb. Similar than editor.lua but more polished and more useful for programmers (use a fixed-font and does C/C++ syntax highlighting). I'm including it in the examples.
