Hi all,

I have had a bad problem when installing icewm2.dsl from jwm, which didn't want to bring me back to jwm... however, it seems also happen with other DSLs releases.

Already signalized problem with abiword.unc: it won't load from DSL menu if you run DSL noicon.

Suggestion: when you open myDSLPanel and choose and extension in one of your partition, the window "Load Local MyDSL Extensions" automatically closes after the extension was loaded; since I load several extensions, I would like to have that window kept opened.

The release is great! Thank you a lot

yours
z

I don't think cdparanoia is working with this new built but will confirm.

I don't really have the time or bandwidth to do much RC testing right now, but when the final is released I'll make a point to update any extensions that need it (the ones i've submitted anyway). Please post any troubles you have with them in the appropriate mydsl forum.

Again, this is a myDSL issue and not a DSL issue. DSL development does not attempt to remain compatible with extensions....it is the responsibility of the extension packagers to keep them working in DSL.
Basically the *.dsl versions of Icewm have been broken for a long time. Xtdesk icons and .xinitrc have changed since those packages were added to the repo. Your .xinitrc file is overwritten by icewm, which removes the useability of the switcher, and may also kill xtdesk by overwriting a *.lnk file.
The uci version of icewm does not overwrite anything, and should remain compatible with future versions of DSL (if not it will be fixed quickly).

Please ignore my previous comment regarding cdparanoia not working in dsl3rc2.

Must have been some other issue...

Mikshaw,

"Again, this is a myDSL issue and not a DSL issue. DSL development does not attempt to remain compatible with extensions....it is the responsibility of the extension packagers to keep them working in DSL."

Yes, I thought so too

"Basically the *.dsl versions of Icewm have been broken for a long time. Xtdesk icons and .xinitrc have changed since those packages were added to the repo.

Thanks a lot, that's great. However, before I faced the problem you mention, I have played a bit with icewm... hmm... I think, I'd better go back to my lovely jwm.

jls,

I didn't experience a problem with firefox (frugal and under jwm, with apps loaded and opera.unc running). I find the 3.0RC2 release really good so far, I have installed it frugal, and I can work with it, load my unc extensions, etc. just only pleasure.

I believe to have red in a post of Robert that you (Robert) would/could build an unload module to be integrated in the myDSLPanel.lua. Am I right? It would be very great!!

yours
z
