One of the things that has kept me from staying with lxde for my limited hardware is the lack of a non-kde simple text editor with highlighting for rpm spec files. To my surprise, pluma has this by default! Unfortunately, in it's current configuration there is a missing dependency and it doesn't work without task-mate installed. There is probably only one or two dependencies, but I haven't tracked them down. If this can be fixed with a packaging change, pluma could be my go to replacement for kwrite.

Here is the error:
Code: [Select]
[galen@localhost ~]$ pluma (pluma:6286): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.mate.lockdown' is not installed Trace/breakpoint trapGalen

The mate-desktop package contains /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.mate.lockdown.gschema.xml file

Well, I believed everything up until the funeral hymn. $:-\$

And you just might have been right there too....

Hi, the latest iso uploaded will be the last one,
I kept updating and trying to improve the iso,
with a view that the pclinuxos community would again have an official e17 version.
Sadly the iso's I remastered have all not been seen fit for purpose as an official version.
I wish to thank all the community who have helped to improve the iso.
Best wishes,
OnlyHuman

Just to clarify the above statement. There is apparently a bug identified (2 hours ago) somewhere in either the creation of the ISO or the installation routine where the keyboard setting in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard is ignored upon booting the installed system and defaults to the US keyboard. We are looking into the situation.

Forth was (or is) the most elegant (and sensible) programming language I have ever tinkered with. Brodie's
Starting Forth and Thinking Forth still hold places of honour in my bookshelf, even if I haven't reread them in a decade or two.

Inspired by this thread I think I'll start looking for a modern implementation of Forth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gforth ...... latest release this year

Have at it!

Thanks, Just17. After I read your post I've already downloaded Gforth from http://bernd-paysan.de/gforth.html# - even if I think it's a bit paradoxical that you'd need anything but Forth (and perhaps a tiny bit of machine code) to compile Forth. (From your link: "Gforth uses GCC to compile a fast direct or indirect threaded Forth".)

When I last used Forth the problem was that I'd got accustomed to a graphical interface, and I didn't get that in Forth. Forth is of course more than just a programming language; it used to be an entire (non-graphical) operating system. And perhaps a philosophy.

Desktop Hardware / Last Update Wrecked Ext. HDD Automount

« Last post by George Underwood Edwards on Today at 05:11:45 PM »

After the last update my Ext. HDD (the backup drive) link is no longer active!
All I have now is: /media/6ccebd02-2b61-4626-91f8-957e4bcde69c

And if I link to that weird folder it becomes inactive upon reboot!
