Re: Testing desktop-settings: RE: RE: Debian ISO

 

Hi israel,
Hhhmmm, I started to write the steps below but now find it is behaving okay and as expected.  Magic happened.  I can't reproduce it now as I did before as below...
1) Download (for example) wall.jpg.2) Right click on desktop and change default.jpg to wall.jpg; click OK and background changes to wall.jpg.3) Go to settings -> desktop-settings and there's a few seconds pause, background changes to default.jpg with no action from me...4) Close desktop-settings; now the background stays changed to default.jpg even though I did no action to change background other than 'look' at desktop-settings window.
I even checked again after reboot and not running jwm-settings-manager --debug and it appears to behave properly now.Bug fixed by magic.
Nice one,JackT.

    Hi Jack,

      I have tried this in my computer.

      The only issue I noticed was in using jpeg file extention.

      But I downloaded

      

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/The_Sky_Is_The_Limit_by_Kaushik_Panchal-1600.jpeg

      and moved it to sky.jpg and It worked fine

      Then I logged out and back in and it was the same wallpaper.

      

      Can you indicated the steps to reproduce it?

      Also, run:

      jwm-settings-manager --debug

      Then choose the desktop settings, select the file and then send me

      ~/.jwm-settings-manager.log

      

      Sorry I am not sure what is wrong here.

      Hi Israel,
        

        
        Updated to r258 on installed version; reloaded desktop;
          logged out and back in again; rebooted; but problem still
          exists...
        

        
        settings -> desktop-settings loses any wallpaper chosen
          and reverts it to the default.jpg.
        

        
        Cheers,

            Hi Jack,

              

              revision 258

              

              This actually fixes the issue

                Thanks for noticing the volume-indicator report.
                

                
                Next bug I've noticed: when using 'settings ->
                  desktop settings' it drops the new wallpaper I
                  downloaded and reverts back to the default.jpg.  Tried
                  it several times with same annoying result of
                  'desktop-settings' forgetting my new wallpaper.

                  Hi Jack,

                    I am actually working on that right now!

                    The OBI bug was more vital at the moment.

                    I am rebuilding:

                    revision 257

                    

                    Update it and test it (you will probably have to log
                    out and back in to notice a change)

                            Hi Israel,
                            

                            
                            Used v225 of obi-installer and the
                              progress box seems to be positioned
                              reasonably low and out of the way of other
                              windows as the installer progresses.
                            

                            
                            On the installed system, I updated and
                              have one observation which continues to
                              occur, namely a problem with the
                              volume-indicator in the top panel.
                            

                            
                            It starts off set to 32%; left-click
                              does nothing; right-click gives a menu; if
                              I click on 'Mixer' nothing happens; if I
                              mess with alsamixer via a terminal/console
                              and go back to the volume-control I can
                              eventually get to a volume slider but
                              never before using alsamixer in a
                              terminal.

                              Ok,

                                I have built and tested a few times.

                                The latest obi in the repos works to
                                position the overall OBI progress
                                window.  The System name is preserved
                                well except one hitch in labelfix.  This
                                fix is in the next build.

                                The version to look for is 225

                                

                                If Nio gets a chance to test soon, we
                                can maybe release it once I rebuild the
                                ISO.

                                

                                I changed things a bit to use the bash
                                built in [[ ]] instead of the program
                                test (also known as [  )

                                This will speed things up and hopefully
                                improve the user experience on older
                                computers.  I will test things on an
                                older computer soon to see how well it
                                does/doesn't work as far a speed goes.

                                    the position of the 'progress'
                                    window was not at the bottom but
                                    thought that may have been VB
                                    interfering again.

                                      Hi
                                        again,

                                        I noticed the window position
                                        bug is still there and a new
                                        minor issue the OS name (though
                                        this is easily remedied)

                                        I am uploading a new version of
                                        OBI, and will build it, so if
                                        you don't mind checking again in
                                        about an hour things might work
                                        better.

                                        I think I have a better method
                                        for getting the pid of the
                                        zenity progress window
