Updated to 6.3
Hi, @BarryK ;
I updated my EasyOS to the last version (6,3) and there was no important problem, don't waste your time about this problem I found, because it is a "particular one" easyly solved.
As you can see in my past posts, https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=12435, I had two task bars (one at the top and other at the bottom), when I updated my system, the bottom one had dissapeared.
I had got a back up of jwmr-tray2 file so I only needed to start EASYJWM, mark the option to create an ACCESORY TRAY and then change the newly created jwmr-tray2 with my backup.
As I said, don't worry about this, because it is a non important problem (minimum compared with the beneficts).
I gonna test and I will share my impressions / feelings.
Thanks a lot for your work.- CHEERS

Re: EasyOS Scarthgap-series version 6.3
Note that Easy 6.3 has the 6.6.47 kernel, with drivers builtin that should have fixed the problem reported earlier about bluetooth v5 mouse not working. Have not confirmed yet.
Blog post about 6.6.47 kernel compile:

Re: EasyOS Scarthgap-series version 6.3
Note also, Easy 6.3 has the old jwm version 2.4.2.
I had posted that updated jwm to version 2.4.3.99:
https://bkhome.org/news/202408/jwm-vers ... in-oe.html
But then I discovered there has been a syntax change in the .jwmrc file, causing tray background colour to not display.
This is very annoying, as it breaks all EasyOS and Puppy jwm theme packages.
We had already been through this, what was it it, moving from 2.2 to 2.3 (?), do not want to do it again.
Re: EasyOS Scarthgap-series version 6.3
How funny is this?
Firefox, Flathub Brave, Seamonkey and Palemoon will; Chromium and Vivaldi will not display the flags.
https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=12422
Vivaldi and Chromium do not use gtk. - Right?
Re: EasyOS Scarthgap-series version 6.3
Problem fixed for Chromium and Vivaldi. Flathub fixed it. Sound and video are fine too. https://flathub.org/apps/com.vivaldi.Vivaldi

EasyOS 6.3 - Icons of directories not well converted
I updated to EasyOS 6.3;
No problems.
Test of JWM desktop mode.
The icon for the directory /root created in ROX mode appears in the jwm tray but it does not work.
The case of an icon to directly open a folder in ROX-Filer has not been considered by the conversion script.
But that's not important, I prefer the ROX mode. I think a desktop with lots of icons is more practical.
Re: EasyOS Scarthgap-series version 6.3
Upgraded from 6.2 to 6.3. I use JWM desktop. All went OK, with only one change to get my desktop back to pre upgrade. Nice, thanks.

Re: EasyOS Scarthgap-series version 6.3
@Caramel reported a problem if try to run firefox passed a filename with space character.
Fixed, see blog:
https://bkhome.org/news/202409/fix-clie ... space.html
The fix is based upon suggested fix that Caramel sent me via pm.
I mentioned in the blog post that it is preferable in Linux to not have any paths and filenames with spaces.
Yes, but of course ideally we should detect anywhere this is a problem and fix it.

Re: EasyOS Scarthgap-series version 6.3
Hello everyone,
I'm so far behind I didn't even notice the new 6.3 version.
I did an in place upgrade and all went well everything I've used is working.
Thanks again Barry K for all you do to give us this great distro.

Hello @ghoen
they have not added 6.3 to the NLLUG easyos repo/mirror. Try this one instead for a direct download:
https://distro.ibiblio.org/easyos/amd64 ... scarthgap/
@BarryK would aarnet be willing to mirror easyos? puppylinux is still there.

Yes, we do need another mirror. I have sent an email request to aarnet.
Re: EasyOS Scarthgap-series version 6.3.1
Did the update on one hard drive and one USB stick, went smoothly as usual. Haven't had much time to experiment but my usual programs are working well. Thanks, Barry!
Re: EasyOS Scarthgap-series version 6.3.1
Updated smoothly to 6.3.1, the only glitch I lost the second tray I had setup in 6.3 in jwm desktop
Re: EasyOS Scarthgap-series version 6.3.1
Yes, I think it was pp4mnklinux who posted about that when updated to 6.3.
But he had a backup and was able to restore the tray.
Re: EasyOS Scarthgap-series version 6.3.1
To those who use JWM to provide the desktop, after update the secondary tray is not displayed, however the config file/s .jwmrc-tray2 and also .jwmrc-tray2_hybrid if using hybrid hiding of the tray, are still maintained from prior to the update. The <Include>/root/.jwmrc-tray2</Include>
statement is not maintained in the .jwmrc file. Adding this to the .jwmrc, then Shutdown > Rectify > Restart JWM will restore tray2. However, it may vanish again when changing configurations, so I add it to the template file /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc, then on future boots it is restored.
