hey all, So this posting will be a little different. I've got to do some recruiting for this particular project as I don't have the time to dedicate to this but need it soon... As some of you may (or may not) know, I "piddle" with firearms regularly - I'm a Gunsmith, reloader, shooter, hun...

Well, in case anyone is interested, i've started collecting all the programs/files that went into the SBP in hopes of putting together something that resembles a general retail environment. Most of the retail systems I have encountered have 3 main bodies - the frontend, inventory, and back office. F...

UPDATE: that seems to have done the trick! Gonna mark it solved and move on. thanks guys! you're awesome! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- thanks guys @L18L What I meant was the file I have the program write as a test to see if the variable containe...

Thanks guys! I've tried each one of those but get the same results - the icons do not revert back to the original and the test save file (saving as desktop_icon_theme-test) shows nothing in the file - have even had it echo to a window on screen and shows nothing - indicating that the variable does n...

hey! I'm playing around with "sampling" desktop icons. basically, you choose an icon theme, try it out, if you don't like it, restore your original theme. Much like the icon_switcher but having script remember the original theme. I thought iI knew how to read the contents of a file :roll: ...

hey ton, Have the same problem with one of my current projects. Basically, there's more in the /root you are copying than there is room for. From what I understand, there's not enough room either in the personal storage space allotted, or on the HDD itself. you would be surprised how much room it ta...

hey L18l! :D now you tell me :lol: yea, it does help. I found this snippet on another post (don't remember which one) and was in mid-figure when I came back and saw your post. #!/bin/sh # LazY Puppy Run-Scripts Icon Setter # set icon to a run-script # --> thanks to stu90 #---------------------------...

hey 666philb, tried the test.pet on a live-cd run of precise 5.7.1 but had no luck - got the desktop alert icon and name, copied into PuppyPin, but other than that, nope, no google earth. no modification to /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons or /usr/bin. Maybe due to live cd - wil...

hey 666philb,

i'm putting together a "suite" of programs and I need the icon to appear when the .sfs is installed so you don't have to go searching files to run it the first time. Any ideas? Thanks!

Post sent twice - Sorry!

Barry,

it's old hack, but I find i need this info again. the blog link above doesn't work. it that blog/page still around anywhere?

hey guys,
been a while since i've been here and was just wondering if there have been any barebone variants since the precise 5.3. Been using it and liking it but want something a little more updated now - precise 5.7 or wary 5.5 maybe?
Thanks!

wo0h0o! That's the stuff! :D Thanks Cat Dude, Semme - that is pretty much exactly what I need! I don't think I would have ever found that site just searching for luci 252. I might as well "upgrade" and go with the 257 as it does have the devx and seems to be the latest-and-greatest of this...

Thanks semme, Here is what it said: #One or more words that identify this distribution: DISTRO_NAME='Lucid Puppy' #A three-digit numeric value, version number of this distribution: DISTRO_VERSION=252 #A two-digit numeric value, minor-version number of this distribution: DISTRO_MINOR_VERSION=00 #The ...

Thanks semme, Unfortunately, no, that's not the one. I tried it already and went back through everything I could find to indicate the os...it's actually Luci-2.5.2. I think this was out only for a short period of time and maybe an experimental type thing, not sure. I downloaded the copy I have back ...

Hey guys,

Been using the Lucid2.5.2 for quiute some time now. Find myself in need of the devx.sfs. Problem is I can not locate it anywhere. Anyone have a copoy and/or a clue where I might find it?

Thanks!

Hey guys! I'm having problems. I'm trying to take a file with some text strings and reading it in as an array. I need to be able to compare the array elements and create anew array of totally unique elements. the list i am using to learn how is as follows: array[1] = "SP" array[2] = "...

Hey guys, no, it's not Racy, it's Precise :) As you can tell, i'm not accustomed to making "international" programs...didn't think about the wording and the different lengths, my bad :( I guess i'm telling my age as the saying goes...the 'TYPE STR' comes from a basic long ago :shock: Rathe...

Hey L18L

Thanks for the review.

Bad news:
prog and code do not match:

hmm, not sure why 'valu$' is there. I don't remember using it anywhere. May be a typo that can be removed? Compiles and runs on my system either way.

Thanks!
