Or even better, above the change mode stuff at the left, write Use TAB to select Still, this requires somebody to do it. Aurora was not touched (I mean, really touched) in at least half a year. Anyway, I like Aurora's listing mode. Which bugs are you talking about? 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). -andrej

RE: [Cooker] Aurora cosmetic bug
What about copying to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Aurora maintainer if I'm not wrong) ? 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. -andrej Borsenkow Andrej wrote: Still, this requires somebody to do it. Aurora was not touched (I mean, really touched) in at least half a year. 1.

I can only get the gtk version to work on cooker version, the other 3 won't run at all. --- Gr¨¦goire Colbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Huh? You mean that nobody will correct this?

Re: [Cooker] Aurora cosmetic bug
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).
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. --- Blue Lizard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I can get the others to work, as traditional wslib is my favorite.
