Hello again Jason!

I'm now using DSL version 3.3 "vanilla" or out of the box. K3B starts just fine even with gtk+-2.12.9 loaded but not set up. When I have set up gtk+-2.12.9 it also seems to work if it is started from emelfm as root using the full path to the executable. But the xshell "twinkle of an eye" behavior starts when gtk+-2.12.9 is set up. Exactly the same behavior as before when I used my remastered version of DSL version 3.3. Some things I might mention even if I don't know if it is relevant. I'm using an K3B extension that I converted into an .unc extension following Roberts instructions in the matter and I'm using the DSL-embedded version on an usb-pendrive. That is all I can think of that might be different in your setup compared to mine. Further than that I can't get as xshell doesn't work now.

Keep on having fun using DSL,
meo

1. Always test extensions with DSL releases, not remasters.
2. Always test the versions found in MyDSL, not conversions.

With either of the above, you're introducing too many new variables beyond the scope of the original extension you're testing. If you mis-set permissions somewhere along the line, that can cause problems. If you installed or did something improperly, that can cause problems. Either way, those would be your own problems and not problems with extensions.

I think it would've been more helpful to know upfront that you hadn't tested against a clean version of DSL and that you're testing a converted extension. That way others could've suggested you test in a clean state instead of in a "dirty lab" and see if the problems persist there or -- perhaps -- if there's a problem in your "dirty lab." If that were the case, the problem isn't with the extensions at question.

meo,

Lucky is right.  You did mention you were using a remaster in your second post, but did not mention that you were using a converted extension until your last one.  I should have insisted on you using a DSL release when you first said you were using a remaster, but I was distracted by  my own issue of running k3b.  It would save a lot of time for you and others before reporting problems to follow the two things Lucky mentioned in his above post.  And not only that but to also say if you are running DSL as embedded, toram, livecd mode, etc.

See if the extension works in plain live cd mode if you are having problems running in any other manner, and mention that information when reporting.  If an extension is having trouble being used in toram or embedded mode but not in regular live mode for instance, knowing that from the get go can save hours of troubleshooting.  Also helpful to know is any other extensions that are loaded, even if you do not think they are part of the issue.  The more homework done, the quicker a solution can be found.  

One beauty of DSL is it is easy to remaster, create  or convert extensions, strip extensions or add to them, and so on.   Like any distro we are free to do with it what we wish.  But if our remaster or converted extensions break, guess what? We get to keep both pieces.  I have only made one remaster myself - I added XFree and a couple other things - but I sure have bungled my live system a time or two making or tweaking extensions, especially early on.

First get some sleep, and then try the standard k3b.dsl with a standard DSL release, preferably in live cd mode, and let us know how it goes.  Heading off to work now so I will check back this afternoon.  Have a good day.
JW

Hi Jason,

Looking back at what has been posted regarding this issue I truly regret that I ever brought it up. I thought I was doing something good for the DSL community when I brought it up but what has it led to? Nothing positive what I can see. I have received several personal atacks and I have taken up much more than necessary of your time Jason. I admit that I should have gone about it in a different manner just according to your last post. So now my spark for this issue has disappeared and this will be my last post regarding this issue. I leave it all in more capable hands than mine.

Have fun, good luck and thanks for your good work Jason,
Sincerely Yours, meo

You dished out quite a bit more than you got back, especially with your decision to resort to (possible) Israeli sayings. Be grateful I restrained myself from making it much more personal. No worries, I just won't bother helping you anymore whether it involves an app you want compiled or something you can't get sorted out.
