Hi israel,


I did the update and upgrade you suggested a few moments ago, rebooted but still have the window/mouse problems I reported earlier.

PS: It works okay on the Trusty install I've updated today.

Hi Israel,


I installed in VB the latest Deb. daily iso you recently made.


I updated it and checked that those pesky desktop shortcuts were persistent and they are.


The problem I'm having (new one) is that on most windows I can't get the mouse to widen or lengthen the window by hovering on a side.  I also can't grab the window's title bar to move the window either or grab a corner and enlarge or shrink the window. I can't get the close, minimise, or maximise buttons to do anything either.

I'm having to go to the window's icon in the taskbar , right click to get a menu and resize or close that way.


Cheers,

Jack

Hi Jack,
I discovered this issue recently when working on updating the base again.
So... here is the issue...
JWM 2.4.0 IS actually now in the ToriOS repos... but it is a version prior to JWM requiring the new config system which needs gettext >=0.19 (trusty only carries 0.18 Jessie carries 0.19 so I thought it would fail because of trusty...)
Anyhow there are some MAJOR config changes which I needed to work around.
How to fix?
hopefully
torios-packagetool upgrade (aka sudo apt update && sudo apt -y full-upgrade)
Please let me know if this works!

So....
