Re: [Cooker] Aurora cosmetic bug

I have no idea why my others don't work and gtk does.
I do know that it has to try twice before it will work
properly but that might have to do with the
file-locking you are talking about.

I can get the others to work, as traditional wslib is my favorite.  The gtk version 
requires the creation of some tmp lock file or something as i recall, and thus 
requires that you have your filesystem mounted rw.  This screws up e2fsck and a few 
others.  When filesystem is ro, aurora waits a long time before moving on with boot 
(monitor down) until trying again later in the process and succeeding b/c the 
filesystem has been remounted (rw).  Because it takes so much more time, I stick with 
wslib (I always prefer the traditional over that rediculous newstyle :P).

I can only get the gtk version to work on cooker
version, the other 3 won't run at all.

You are welcome. I personally consider 6 months long enough to declare
package no more maintained. I check every new RPM of Aurora of course,
and I stubbornly continue to report the same bugs over and over again.
But if nobody is interested, I cannot change it.

Still, this requires somebody to do it. Aurora was not touched (I mean,
really touched) in at least half a year.

1. Major - any program that tries to do something interactively at
startup at the best can't do it, at the worst startup hangs. Arguably,
rc script should not try to interact with users, still it is used in
some cases on other systems as well.

2. Semi-major - update trashes monitor symlink.

3. Semi-minor - incorrect display of non-ISO-8859-1 messages (judging by
my name and address I am affected :-)

4. Semi-minor - Microsoft wheel mouse still not supported. Reported in
January by me.

May be more. I switched Aurora off several months ago (after NLS
problem).

Huh?

You mean that nobody will correct this? I thought it was only a matter
of changing a string (which is not translated btw)... Or even better,
above the "change mode" stuff at the left, write "Use TAB to select...".

Anyway, I like Aurora's listing mode. Which bugs are you talking about?

Cosmetic? You must be kidding. Aurora has several major/minor bugs that
make its usage questionable (very mildly put). IMNSHO it should long
have been moved to contribs as nobody seems to maintain it.
