Bug XMMS : GUI issue ?
Posted by: Rantanplan - 06-05-2024, 12:50 PM - Forum: User Feedback - Replies (4)

Bonjour,

L'interface graphique de XMMS propose un menu à gauche.
La lettre D permet d'agrandir l'interface.

Mais, lorsque je clique sur la lettre D, j'obtiens un message d'erreur :

Code:
Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
serial 5857 error_code 8 request_code 72 minor_code 0

Et l'interface devient noire et inactive.

Selon vous, est-il possible de résoudre ce problème ?
Merci.
Amitiés.

Hello,

I use DSL2024 RC4 - frugal install on pendrive.

The XMMS graphical interface has a menu on the left.
The letter D enlarges the interface.

But when I click on the letter D, I get an error message:

Code:
Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
serial 5857 error_code 8 request_code 72 minor_code 0

And interface goes black and inactive.

In your opinion, is it possible to solve this problem?

Thank you.

Best regards.

Thumbs Up Bonjour et Merci

Bonjour DamnSmallLinux 2024,

Je suis un utilisateur final.
J'ai découvert Linux et les distributions légères grâce à ToutouLinux (distribution française dérivée de Puppy Linux).
Puis, la curiosité m'a amené à découvrir d'autres productions légères ou très légères.

Bravo pour cette nouvelle distribution orientée vers les anciens PC 32 bits.
Oeuvre charitable et écologique !

Bonne route sur la voie de la sobriété et de la légèreté.
Continuez avec enthousiasme.

Vive DSL !
Vive la vie !

Congratulations for this new distribution oriented towards the old 32-bit PCs.
Charitable and ecological work!
Good luck on the road to sobriety and lightness.
Keep going with enthusiasm.

Long live DSL!

Control Centre doesn't work unless I do sudo first (su doesn't work). I'm surprised nobody else is reporting this. Am I really the only one with this problem?

Once I do sudo, all Control Centre commands work, except:

Session - User Desktop Session
Session - Activate Clipboard Manager
Hardware - Mouse Configuration

The "Hardware" category is empty.

The bug reported here prevents the installation or update of certain programs (I've noticed synaptic and smartmontools). Perhaps you could solve this problem even if AntiX doesn't, for example by adding the necessary GPG key.

I find that NetSurf doesn't work well with most Web sites. There's nothing to be done, I suppose.

Previously reported:

The installation program marks a swap partition as file type 83 rather than the correct 82.

Enhancement request: Add battery status to conky.

  Spectrum-based light sensitivity accessibility
Posted by: Chloe - 05-31-2024, 05:55 PM - Forum: User Feedback - Replies (2)

What an interesting project, I'm looking forward to trying it.

Accessibility/disability issue: I've got an extreme sensitivity to short wavelength blue light.

I'm working on getting an e-ink monitor, but until then and to rescue old laptops

Does DSL have a built in blue-light filter program on either JWM or fluxbox?

What would it take to install radky's JWM desk (https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.p...714#p39714) from puppy linux on JWM in DSL?  

Or some other blue-light filter program?  

Thank you,


If I were to imagine any features I wanted in a distro, and it would be so
All of the text in the boot up process would be large font, maybe 18 Bold
And the menus would start with large text, too
Default color temp, instead of 6500k, would somehow be set to 1800k (candlelight) from the boot screen onwards
One can dream

  Preguntas en español - no puedo usar el mouse
Posted by: Billy Zavala - 05-28-2024, 05:53 PM - Forum: Help Section - Replies (2)

Buen día

Antes que nada agradezco a los creadores de DMS por este foro e incluir el idioma español dentro de la distribución.

Tengo una pregunta: intenté instalar la distro pero... no me reconoce el mouse (ya probé con tres diferentes) ni el touch pad de mi laptop. Es imposible hacer algo, no puedo abrir menús, ni siquiera con combinaciones de teclas. 

¿A alguien más le ha pasado? de ser así, ¿cómo lo solucionaron?

Mi equipo de pruebas es una Acer Aspire One ZG5, con 2 gb en ram y procesador Atom.


Saludos!

  firefox-esr inactive tabs unreadable
Posted by: jcoles - 05-24-2024, 05:40 PM - Forum: User Feedback - Replies (1)

Using firefox-esr on RC4 as installed, I find that I cannot read the titles of inactive tabs. There is zero contrast between the text and the tab colour. Also, the + button to open a new tab is always invisible.

How do I fix this? Changing the theme (? Widget tab in Customize Look and Feel) has no effect.

  Issues prevent updates
Posted by: jcoles - 05-24-2024, 05:19 PM - Forum: User Feedback - Replies (3)

Attempts to do the first update after install (rc4) ends in failure. Is this a problem at my end? 
I have used various Debian-based Linux distros over the years, and usually apt or apt-get just works.
It looks like a problem at the repo end (I wouldn't be "signing" their repo, would I?) Is this just a matter of waiting?

  Will we get another DSL book in the future?
Posted by: JakeBones - 05-20-2024, 11:27 PM - Forum: Other Topics - Replies (1)

A bit of preamble on me; I started using old DSL around a year ago since I had picked up a ARM Laboratories 340S8 (brand doesn't matter, in what research I have done this laptop was sold under 100000000 different names but atleast the model number stayed the same) running a Tulatin P3 1GHz with ATI Rage LT Pro (8MB) and 2x 256MB of SDRAM. I researched multiple distros looking for a decent one that would pair nicely to dualboot and I found DSL, I liked the premise so on eBay I bought the book to research more myself and I loved the book and the OS; as the OS was fast and had a decent amount of software support, while the book went into all the little details on how the OS worked and the core philosophy which I really enjoyed. I was thrilled when I saw today that on distrowatch not only was DSL on the rise surpassing OS's like void and only being a couple of spots away from DSL's spiritual successor TinyCore but to also find the project revived now with a new AntiX coat of paint! Now for the question, will 2024 DSL get the same book treatment that the original DSL got? I would personally love to see one since I found it immensely useful since it helped me learn linux and its' inter-workings even more since upto that point I had only used Endeavor (I currently use Debian and I'm trying to swap to AntiX but with LXDE) and I think the DSL book was a great teaching tool and just a good read in general and that a new one would be a great idea. Just to see how the community would be open to the idea of a new DSL book there is a poll below to see who would be interested in buying a copy if it where to get made.
