My 4th grade daughter's teacher has the class working on a project using Tux Paint. We downloaded it today, but, for the life of us, have been unable to get it to save my daughter's project. When we hit "save," I see what looks like an error message underneath the color palette stating "Couldn't open data/starters/worldmap_japan-back.png." Just to walk through the problem, when we hit "Save" (the sixth icon down on the right underneath the "Tools" double column on the far left), we then see a message box that says "Replace the picture with your changes? Yes, replace the old one! No, save a new file!" Regardless of the selection we make, we see the error message noted above. And, after making the selection, we see no saved file anywhere to open. Also, the Tools double column on the left does not list any "cache" or such place to even retrieve a saved file. The bottom two tools are "Print" and "Quit." What are we doing wrong here? She needs to get something saved to a thumb drive by tomorrow night (it is now Sunday, January 24), and we have been unable to get this done. Thanks. |

I get this from time to time too. I have one workstation where I haven't saved anything all year... weird. Been meaning to ask about it myself. --- On Sun, 1/24/10, Bruce E Lithgow <bli...@sb...> wrote: From: Bruce E Lithgow <bli...@sb...> Subject: [Tuxpaint-users] Problems Saving File To: tux...@li...

No when it occurs I get a report about different starter images failure OR an audio device failure message. Its intermittent and I am not sure about any pattern... These are all networked machines and I know that problems occur sometimes when a specific machine fails to hook into the network... tho USUALLY this will also preclude finding and opening the program which is on located on a networked drive not on the specific computer. And I have one machine which which is not connected to the same network but seems to believe that it is connected and successfully saving tho no image is ever found. I'm not worried about that machine tho. --- On Mon, 1/25/10, Caroline Ford <car...@go...> wrote: From: Caroline Ford <car...@go...> Subject: Re: [Tuxpaint-users] Problems Saving File To: "Discussion list for parents and teachers using Tux Paint" <tux...@li...> Cc: "Discussion list for parents and teachers using Tux Paint" <tux...@li...> Date: Monday, January 25, 2010, 2:22 PM Is it always the same error message?

Its intermittent and I am not sure about any pattern... As I discovered, the error that Tux talks about is usually unrelated to the error that occured. It seems I mistakenly expected "strerror()" to return something related to PNG saving when the PNG library throws an error. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to set that, so you get whatever was leftover (e.g., the unimportant error about a Starter image lacking a background -- something you'd see if you hit "New" first, and then "Save", which fails -- or the error about the audio device). > These are all networked machines and I know that problems occur sometimes when a > specific machine fails to hook into the network... tho USUALLY this will also > preclude finding and opening the program which is on located on a networked drive > not on the specific computer.

I'm > not worried about that machine tho. It looks like it can, indeed, fail to save, but still report successful saving. Which is just awful, in my opinion, and I'm sorry we didn't stress-test these situations more. (One problem is that I have a single computer, running Linux. No access to the wide variety of setups that people use: Windows/Mac/Linux, fat-client/thin-client, networked-saved/locally-saved, network-loaded/locally-loaded, etc.) This is where I'd love to see a real QA (quality assurance) team set up. Prior to offical releases, we'd have people go through and test every aspect of the program, to see if any bugs cropped up, or there were any regressions (bugs that were thought fixed, but weren't actually fixed, or came back due to another code change). -bill! |

Do you know, for certain, where Tux Paint is trying to load/save pictures? ABSOLUTELY! I have RED Tux-K-1, GREEN Tux-2-3 and BLUE Tux-4-5 each saves to their respective SAVE folder in the My Pictures folder of the student partition on the H Drive (which is a reason I cannot save anything myself when logged onto the Teacher partition, I haven't yet built my own teacher install The three TUX installs are on the Common I: drive After each class I migrate the contents of the saved folder manually into a folder with the teachers name my 4th and 5th graders can access the folder to find their work so as to continue on another day or to open with Paint.exe to access cut and paste and magnifier tools or Irfanview to access Adobe .8bf plugins. This quarter 3rd 4th and 5th grades are working on a POP ART/poster design unit and the 5th graders especially are encouraged to develop their own stamps. |

Hi henry, I'm still a little vague on exactly what your setup is :-) On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 05:32:48PM -0800, henry taylor wrote: > > These are all networked machines and I know that problems occur sometimes when a > > specific machine fails to hook into the network... tho USUALLY this will also > > preclude finding and opening the program which is on located on a networked drive > > not on the specific computer. > > Do you know, for certain, where Tux Paint is trying to load/save pictures? > > ABSOLUTELY! > > I have RED Tux-K-1, GREEN Tux-2-3 and BLUE Tux-4-5 each saves to their > respective SAVE folder in the My Pictures folder of the student > partition on the H Drive (which is a reason I cannot save anything > myself when logged onto the Teacher partition, I haven't yet built my > own teacher install Can you be explicit about how you set these save paths and what exactly the paths you are using are, from the perspective of Tux Paint? For example, are you using the Tux Paint configuration file or the command-line supplied to 'tuxpaint.exe' to set the paths? What are these paths? Also, is this problem happening every time, or is it intermittent? For example, does it only occur when more than one student is using RED (if more than one student *can* use RED, I'm not clear on that either). Has it ever worked, or has something changed recently? I might be able to glean this info from previous messages, I'll take a look, but all in one email would be helpful to get things clear, Thanks, and good luck, best regards, John. |

I Use configuration tool - "all users" setting. Save folder is in the documents folder on the H drive (student) TUX programs are in my personal folder on the I drive (common) Intermittent problem and rare which is why I haven't bothered to mention it before Programs are configured for grade levels, all student in a class are in the same grade, so they all use the same program configuration. I have not noticed that the problem is specific to any specific version BUT good you asked... actually thinking about it --one obvious characteristic is that the problem is prone to plague a specific PC for a week or three or four. One day it just shows up and hangs around for a few weeks... rebooting does not seem to effect the problem as littler kids tend to reboot the computer instead of exiting the program of clicking one of the other Tux buttons... Kinder can be an adventure. it is intermittant and rare... I can go a couple of months without seeing it... I can have two machines doing it simultaneously. (happened once I think) No recent changes. Thanks for looking into it John! --- On Thu, 1/28/10, John Popplewell <jo...@jo...> wrote: From: John Popplewell <jo...@jo...> Subject: Re: [Tuxpaint-users] Problems Saving File To: "Discussion list for parents and teachers using Tux Paint" <tux...@li...> Date: Thursday, January 28, 2010, 6:28 AM Hi henry, I'm still a little vague on exactly what your setup is :-) On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 05:32:48PM -0800, henry taylor wrote: > > These are all networked machines and I know that problems occur sometimes when a > > specific machine fails to hook into the network... tho USUALLY this will also > > preclude finding and opening the program which is on located on a networked drive > > not on the specific computer. > > Do you know, for certain, where Tux Paint is trying to load/save pictures? > > ABSOLUTELY! > > I have RED Tux-K-1, GREEN Tux-2-3 and BLUE Tux-4-5 each saves to their > respective SAVE folder in the My Pictures folder of the student > partition on the H Drive (which is a reason I cannot save anything > myself when logged onto the Teacher partition, I haven't yet built my > own teacher install Can you be explicit about how you set these save paths and what exactly the paths you are using are, from the perspective of Tux Paint?

Hi Bruce - you posted this from a non-subscribed address, so it got held for moderation by the mailing list software. I approved the post, but if you're not actually subscribed, you won't see people's responses unless they specifically Cc you (as I have done here). (See: http://www.tuxpaint.org/lists/ for a link to subscribe.)

When we hit "save," I see > what looks like an error message underneath the color palette stating > "Couldn't open data/starters/worldmap_japan-back.png." I've seen this reported twice. Once via a bug report at SourceForge.net: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2765872&group_id=66938&atid=516295 and once via email (which I pasted as a comment into that bug report; the comment is dated: 2009-08-04 16:01) I also see that henry taylor replied to your post, and said he's noticed the same thing at times. The report was for 0.9.20, but Bruce, it sounds like you just downloaded Tux Paint, so you probably have 0.9.21. Bruce & Henry - please try running Tux Paint (in windowed mode, so you can easily do other tasks) and see if you can generate that error. When it happens, go into your C:\Program Files\TuxPaint\ folder and look for files named "stderr.txt" and/or "stdout.txt". If they're there, open them (e.g., in Notepad) and cut-n-paste their contents in an email (just reply to this mailing list message). Also, can you make sure you've got the error message exactly right? (In the SourceForge.net bug, the original bug report was "Couldn't open...", but the email I pasted was "Couldn't save...". Looking in the source-code, I see a few "Couldn't save..." messages, but they aren't precisely in the form mentioned in the bug report comment. I don't see ANY references to "Couldn't open..." messages.) Feel free to take a screenshot and send it to me (privately) as an attachment. Or, attach it to that bug! (You might need a SourceForge.net account to do that, I don't remember.) > Just to walk through the problem, when we hit "Save" (the sixth icon down > on the right underneath the "Tools" double column on the far left), we > then see a message box that says "Replace the picture with your changes? > Yes, replace the old one!

There's an "Open" button. However, if you have no saved images yet, it will immediately pop up a notification. It looks more-or-less like this: http://tuxpaint.org/screenshots/showshot.php3?which=10 (that's from a VERY old version ;) ) Thanks in advance for any further details you can send! -- -bill!

Hi Bruce. Some questions for you, via John Popplewell (maintainer of the Windows port of Tux Paint). He had posted these in response to the bug report I mentioned ( http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2765872&group_id=66938&atid=516295 ) * Was the installer run as Administrator? * Was this an upgrade from a previous version of Tux Paint? * It looks like a permission problem but the error message is odd, to say the least. * The version of Tux Paint doesn't seem to be the latest one in at least one of the reports. * Has Tux Paint Config been used to change the save/data directory? In the meantime (and sorry if I'm mentioning this too late!), you could use the "take a screenshot" functionality of your operating system or a graphics program (GIMP's "File->Create->Screenshot...", for example) to take a snap of the finished drawing. Could you also answer a few other questions: * Are you using Tux Paint 0.9.21 at the moment? (it's the version that's been available for download on the Tux Paint website since July 2009) * What operating system & version are you using? (I'm assuming Windows. XP? Vista?) Thanks & good luck! -bill!

It looks like the error about "worldmap_japan-back.png" is an erroneous one. It's a leftover error from the "New" dialog looking to see if the Starter image in question (the last one it comes across) has a background layer. When Tux Paint fails to save, this error (which was hanging about in 'strerror()', I guess?!) gets displayed by Tux. So it sounds like a permissions issue. That brings us back to what you were asking about... it'd be great of Bruce, Henry, and anyone else who sees this error, can respond to these ones: > * Was the installer run as Administrator? > * Was this an upgrade from a previous version of Tux Paint? > * It looks like a permission problem but the error message is odd, to say > the least. Thanks, all! PS - It looks like the error checking in Tux Paint needs a bit of help. I'll add a new Bug Request on SourceForge to cover that one. -bill!

That brings us back to what you were asking about... it'd be great f Bruce, Henry, and anyone else who sees this error, can espond to these ones: * Was the installer run as Administrator? * Was this an upgrade from a previous version of Tux Paint? * It looks like a permission problem but the error message is odd, to say the least. Thanks, all! PS - It looks like the error checking in Tux Paint needs a bit of help. 'll add a new Bug Request on SourceForge to cover that one. -bill! c'ing Bruce in case he's not subscribed to this list. c'ing John so he sees this ASAP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ he Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation tay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business hoose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts ersonal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. ttp://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com ______________________________________________ uxpaint-users mailing list uxp...@li... ttps://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tuxpaint-users |

Thank you Just a friendly reminder to folks -- it's a lot easier (and less noisy) if you unsubscribe yourself, rather than post a request to the list. :) (Of the ~175 people subscribed, ~174 of them cannot help you.) https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tuxpaint-users -bill! |

* Was the installer run as Administrator? No. This year my access was further limited and getting administrators to find a convenient time has been difficult. At the beginning of the year Aug/Sept I downloaded new version onto a networked drive and installed it there later in the year now I can't even do that if there is a setup.exe file that wakes up the registry safeguards... If all I have to do is unpack a zip to a folder I think I can still install little programs. > * Was this an upgrade from a previous version of Tux Paint? Fresh install During the second quarter the error had already showed up and had been seen in last year in a prior installation a few times... During 2nd quarter also I created 3 different 'grade level versions' with uniquely colored icons by adding and subtracting stamps and starters and selecting 'appropriate' plugins for each grade set. Figured that might be worth mentioning. --- On Tue, 1/26/10, Bill Kendrick <nb...@so...> wrote: That brings us back to what you were asking about... it'd be great of Bruce, Henry, and anyone else who sees this error, can respond to these ones: > * Was the installer run as Administrator? > * Was this an upgrade from a previous version of Tux Paint? > * It looks like a permission problem but the error message is odd, to say > the least. |

Figured that might > be worth mentioning. FYI - I think that's great, and I love hearing about these kinds of setups. Tux Paint is not only designed as a big empty canvas for kids to paint on, but a big empty "canvas" for teachers to configure in cool ways that are appropriate for their curriculum :) Good work! -bill! |

And ACK, I apparently totally messed up refresh recently in CVS. (e.g., hit New, then hit [Escape] or Back; canvas is covered with the 'new picture' dialog) -bill! |
