User Feedback :: report DSL0.9.0 bugs here



With the possible exception, of this question!-
(No, I have no plans to become a career or serial
pest).
How is user damnsmall normally linked to user dsl?
I'm finding themes install to damnsmall's
.fluxbox directory,but that is as far as it goes.
There's a returning bug with the mc super user menu item, which had been fixed in 0.8.0.  I hadn't downloaded DSL since then, so I'm guessing the bug came back with 0.8.2 when the mc color wrapper was created.
The bug:  If you start mc as super user before starting it as regular user, your mc config files will be created with root ownership.  This prevents user DSL from starting mc until after those files are deleted.
The fix: edit the "MC as super-user" menu command to read "sudo su -c /usr/local/bin/mc"

adracker:
/home/damnsmall is just a symlink to /home/dsl, done for backward compatability to the days when the default user was damnsmall.  Everything (are there any exceptions?) done to /home/damnsmall will be done to /home/dsl instead.

The symlink to "damnsmall" was removed in 0.9.0.

It was just to cater to older extensions untill they could be rebuilt to hit the user dsl.

if you have an older extension that needs damnsmall, you can just use emelfm to open the .tar.gz and rename the folder to "dsl", the repack it (emelfm should ask you if you want to repack when you go up a dir from the tgz)
Saidin,Mikshaw,- thanks for the advice!
I'm seeing the problem with Gift and torsmo
where configs go to damnsmall but not dsl.
Does this mean good ol' ke4nt1 has to trudge
through a lot of older extensions?
These two are already named .dsl, I'll symlink
the directories/config files when I use them.
Thanks again.

I have already "trudged" thru all the extensions,
removing any references to user "damnsmall"

Thanks to roberts fine bash scripting ability, it was a " walk-on-water" move ..
Only time consuming part is the uploading of every file back into the repository,
but I needed a fresh backup anyhow..

If you find any "newly downloaded" extensions with references to user "damnsmall"
please forward a note to me, and I will deal with it promptly ..

Growing pains of moving to the 0.9 edition..
