Hi Nathan, I installed komposer but although it appears to be installed ok, it wont run. When do you plan on getting the dependancy checker in gpkgtool working? Is that in the proposed bugfix package?
The other bug is the old one in gpkgtool, which I havnt had for some time, the list browsing button is broken for me since I downloaded komposer. Instead of the package list, I get "usage for xdialog" again........I would like to get this fixed without having to reinstall if possible. EDIT - I think this only happens in a frugal install?


Cheers, Mike

Oh, and I need to refresh the menu every time after booting. This is in the frugal install.

EDIT- more frugal bugs....cant increase the size of the save file, the menu entry isnt working. EDIT-Can you let me know the name of the program that increases the size of the save.sfs and I will run it from the terminal. Or will I have to go back to type2 install as it is running out of space and I only use it to save settings.
Also I get a message like "extfs warning, mounting unchecked fs. run fschk" or something similar during boot.
and it looks like Joey has abandoned ship!

3rd EDIT I have found what is stopping the resize save.sfs program from working. It is looking for a directory "grafstate" in /etc/rcd, and the file is still called "pupstate"". I tried changing the name to "grafstate" and the resize program works. What I did not know was that several scripts that run during startup call for "pupstate". oops!

Komposer should work after a reboot. Basically, I compiled all the mozilla applications for a different prefix, which was done for a project which has since been modified anyway. If the directory /opt/mozapps/bin is found during init it will be added to your PATH, otherwise the system will not find the startup scripts for Firefox, Seamonkey, etc. You can get around it by running /opt/mozapps/bin/komposer.

If the list browser is broken then it means something went wrong during the installlation and the file /root/.packages/livepackages.txt is probably broken. I don't really know why this occasionally happens, but it happened with petget as well under certain conditions which I was never able to nail down, and the programs use different code for the relevent sections. What I would like to do sometime is write a short program to check the syntax and tell the user where an offending line has been found.

Any instances of "GRAFSTATE" should be "PUPSTATE", probably a case of my using Turma to substitute text and not being specific enough. I'll repair that script.

If it is telling you to run fsck then the save file is being unmounted "dirty" for some reason. It's not terribly good, but probably won't ever be critical either. You can fix it up with the e2fsck command if it bothers you.

Thanks Nathan, kompozer is working fine now.

I reinstalled a type 2 and used gpkgtool a couple times, but then lost the browser list. This time, the window was there but no entries in it. The file "livepkgs.txt" is empty. Guess I will be installing pups and pets for a while.

Cheers, Mike
