spacefm without gamin

Here is the spacefm file manager re-compiled to use inotify (kernel support) instead of gamin. This Pet is only for Lighthouse64 602 and does not include the other pkg data, icons, menu entries, etc., as they are already included in 602. http://www.lhpup.org/testing/L64-602/spacefm-LH64-602update.pe...

Re: qbittorrent installation

This might be a little bit of a bug. I loaded the QT64 sfs which is on the Lighthouse server. Then I went to install qbittorrent from the PPM. I had it install all the dependencies except QT (since I had already loaded the sfs file. When I went to run it, it failed. In the terminal I got a message ...

Welcome back Meeki!; Avidemux

Welcome back Meeki! :D I've been offline for a week or so. Had a tooth extraction and implant done; feeling better now. I just wish I'd kept going to a dentist a few years ago even though I didn't have dental insurance. :oops: Many of my teeth need work now and it is expensive, even with dental cove...

auto connect; checking fat partition; UEFI flashdrive

I am actually using the 32-bit version but I suspect the same thing would apply to the 64 bit version and this seems to be the thread that is read! When I boot Lighthouse on my machine with an ethernet cable attached to an always on modem router...

multi-session DVD, Devx conflict in 602

Sylvander & Gcmartin, I spent several hours with a multisession DVD (aka pupmode 77) today, and found a problem with saves back to the DVD, but only after installing the Devx SFS. Any chance you've done likewise? If so, it is because the Devx has /usr/bin/xorriso, which the save-to-DVD scripts a...

Multisession DVD; KDE boots slowly from USB key; ADB backup

I have alway "started" with the Mariner ISO. 1. I made a new DVD+RW using "Lighthouse-6.02.B2_Mariner.iso". Everything went well during the 1st boot, 1st shutdown, save, 2nd boot into 2nd session, 2nd shutdown with save. I liked Mariner. WINE worked just fine, and it seemed to h...

Is there any chance of adding an optional script to either put those outside of the Savefile when they are created (or symlink to them outside of the Savefile) - or at least to autodelete them at reboot? Most thumbnails and browser cache files are removed at X startup. So close all windows and choo...
