The next problem 've found is that netloadmodule crashes at startup may be
this is this 64bit thing, too. I guess liteStep is abandoned since windows
64 bit is out, because there is too mutch to rewrite to get it up and
running again.

The actual problem is that LiteStep (well, the module doing the
displaying, not the core) only displays 32bit control panel icons.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem like it is easily fixable. However, i
think newer versions of LiteStep will launch the 64bit version of
explorer (depending on your settings); so you can get to the control
panel that way.

Oh, I've forgotten the most important thing. This bug appears on Windows 7
professional 64 bit. So far so good.

There is an other bug I've found with 0.25 alpha LiteStep does not display
the windows control panel icons at all. it displays only third party Icons
like nvidia manager or the java icon.

That's exactly what I'm seeing now, too. it crashes upon
login even if I disable all modules.

Hmm, that means apparently no-one else is experiencing these
weird crashes, while I get them on two of my three machines.
I wonder what's going on here...

Thanks Todd!

crash on startup

Björn Brembs — 2011-01-19T10:13:02

I think my last three emails did not make it to the list
(attached).

Very strange: I have three different LS installations and
they all behave differently (even though the LS directzory
including step.rc and thus modules is almost identical).

I'll do some more tests and will let you know.

crash on login

Björn Brembs — 2010-12-09T08:32:53

Hi all,

now two of my win7 LS installations crash on login. I can
restart LS no probs, but it's somewhat more unstable than
before. My laptop version seem so far to be unaffected (will
know after the week-end.

Anybody else have these problems?

The old desktopian drool-proof "unsubscribe faq" page...
http://desktopian.org/listunsub.html :
... went down with desktopian.org, when the hosting shutdown a few years 
ago. I still own the domain, and have offline copies of the content, but 
haven't gotten around to putting it back online anywhere. Hmmm. Bryan 
added the link into the list serv footer; I'm not sure how to get him to 
pull the link. Is he still reading the list?

The listunsub.html page was just a simple explanation on how to make 
sure you unsubscribe from the same email address you initially 
subscribed from (by looking at the "for" field in your email headers 
coming from list mailings). No magic, or automation to do the work, just 
simple instructions to do it yourself. Sort of a prime old Litestep 
approach to life: "We enable you to have fun and look good, while doing 
the work yourself!™"

Thanks,
Todd/tin_omen.

hrm... so does this mean that the people who were part of 'lsdev' last are 
absolutely no longer around? Considering that I own the lsdev.org domain, 
I'd prefer that it point to somewhere with activity that directly relates to 
LS development.

I doubt Litestep will ever be "dead" as long as it's still usable on OS's 
that people use today. I've been using Litestep every day on my primary 
desktop since probably 2000 or so, and I couldn't imagine it any other way. 
I still use Windows XP though. I'm not sure how much I could stand Windows 7 
on my Windows desktop without having Litestep available :(

LS on win7 with patches

Björn Brembs — 2010-11-02T10:23:28


Actually, I can confirm it: I just installed LS on a new
win7 machine and it works just fine. I would also add my
suspicion that it's probably office related, because
starting any office app kills LiteStep immediately.

Anybody else experiencing this?

Cheers,

LS on win7 with patches

Björn Brembs — 2010-11-01T15:53:46

Dear DevTeam,

I have recently installed a new machine at home and first
installed all software and patches and then installed LS. To
my surprise, while all my other machines are running LS just
fine, on this one LS doesn't load at startup and if I start
it manually, the UAC asks me if I really want to do it. Then
LS starts, but a message comes up immediately that it's
about to crash and within a few minutes of use it indeed
does crash.

This is on win7 32 bit. The machine is running the exact
same LiteStep folder that I have running with little
problem) on my other win7 32bit machines.

Can anyone confirm this as a bug?

Thanks!
Bjoern

Erik Welander — 2010-10-28T08:55:26

The "crash" problems that you will sometimes have on 64bit systems usually
don't come from the 64bit system. They are a result of old modules which are
incompatible with 0.25, which you'll need to use on a 64bit system.

Well I haven't tried vary many modules as I use my own theme which is
mostly the x modules and a few others and run fine.

This is the issue fixed in the thread I linked to in my previous mail. In
some post there is a compiled litestep.exe you should download together with
a new version of xTray.dll, also found in that thread.

So no problems with any of the modules not

Maybe I should try running LS on my 64bit
systems...

I recently switched to a MacBook Pro. And now i'm a little bit more happy. I miss LS from the old times i used it.

Take a look at this:

Dear remaining few 'Steppers,

I just checked lsdev.org and the last posted
'alpha' build is from 29-04-04 and CVS doesn't
show any new files since then either.

Is it safe to assume that LS is now finally
deceased and dead for good?
