In the default urxvt console when i type vi i get command not found.see below


VI is in the devx file (actually VIM). The ISO does include mp, which most find easier to use.

Also one more problem is ping doesn't work even though internet works thru mozilla firefox


Works for me,

Code:
# ping www.google.com
PING www.google.com (74.125.113.147): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 74.125.113.147: seq=0 ttl=51 time=187.162 ms
64 bytes from 74.125.113.147: seq=1 ttl=51 time=125.420 ms
64 bytes from 74.125.113.147: seq=2 ttl=51 time=115.115 ms


I'm using a blackberry modem at the moment. I'll try again at home with a wifi connection.

Jamesbond,
thanks for the prefix, I will use it from now on. So if the pixmap-errors are not that worrysome then the patch I posted would be a good alternative.
I patched it again with another diff, no pixmap errors but this morning it crashed on me. Didn't look at the errors, I was to busy at the time. I will take some more time to test it properly. I will let you know.

patelbhavesh,

I don't know how other fatdog users get to their 32 bit apps but this is what I do:

HOWTO chroot to 32 bit puppy on separate partition.
Install lucidpuppy or whatever puppy in a separate partition and clean it out to make it small, or don't if you have the space. I didn't, lucid takes about 780 mb.
If your using Lucid, then in the menu, select SETUP, and then choice applications that you do not require. In this example I use opera on the 32 bits puppy in sda8 to use the citrix receiver, works great!

In terminal:
mkdir /mnt/lucid526

edit /etc/fstab by adding the lines:
/dev/sda8 /mnt/lucid526 ext3 defaults 0 0
proc-chroot /mnt/lucid526/proc proc defaults 0 0

My script 'chroot-up' to start opera on the 32 bits chroot.
Code:

#!/bin/sh
mount /mnt/lucid526
sleep 1
cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/lucid526/etc/resolv.conf
chroot /mnt/lucid526 /usr/bin/opera


My still very crude script 'chroot-down' to unmount the chroot:
Code:

#!/bin/sh
#can not umount /mnt/lucid526, dbus-launch is active, umount like this:
A=`fuser -m /dev/sda8`
kill "${A##* }"
sleep 0.2
B=`fuser -m /dev/sda8`
kill "${B##* }"
sleep 0.2
C=`fuser -m /dev/sda8`
kill "${C##* }"
sleep 0.2
D=`fuser -m /dev/sda8`
kill "${D##* }"
sleep 0.2
E=`fuser -m /dev/sda8`
kill "${E##* }"
sleep 0.2
F=`fuser -m /dev/sda8`
kill "${F##* }"
sleep 0.7
umount /mnt/lucid526

Important is to kill the open processes starting with the highest process number as I discovered, X will crash. I am still learning bash, on the go so to speak, so if a bash-guru out there knows a nice loop construction, let me know, it would save me some time.
As you see mine is limited to 6 processes.

And if you are worried about security then maybe a 'su spot' in front of the 'chroot' command will work.

It displays the amount of ram below. I think it doesn't know model/manufacture.

PostPosted: Fri 26 Aug 2011, 08:02    Post subject: lxpanel-patch
Subject description: lxpanel desktop pager only shows windows on active workspace		  
Progress so far:

Patched with diff from:
http://lxde.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/lxde/trunk/lxpanel/src/plugins/pager.c?r1=943&r2=1288

Works very well, I posted this pet in a previous post. Very minor error on pixmap so I patched it again with the complex diff from:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2019094&group_id=180858&atid=894869

Not a go, two lxpanel-crashes in a weeks time and lots of error messages, now on the last diff, the simple one from the sourgeforge url above.
I will test this for a week and get back with the result. Not really important for the patch with the first diff from lxde is allready sufficient.

cheers

Subject description: gtkfilechooser.ini permission denied		  
When downloading a file and choosing an application to open the file then seamonkey leaves an error when you click on ctrl alt backspace.

Minor issue, everything seems to work. Just thought I should mention it.

Maybe someone can confirm that it really is something not to worry about.

cheers

PostPosted: Sun 28 Aug 2011, 15:44    Post subject: problem with devx?  
So I did a fresh install, rebooted. Made a save file. rebooted. Made sure that the devx was loaded on boot... went to compile the latest Nvidia driver and I got an error.

Looks like there might be an error in the devx. make and gcc all return 'not found' (screenshot shows only gcc)
gcc is located in /usr/lib64
adding that to PATH doesnt solve the problem

Make cannot be found by
Code:
find / -name make




when trying to compile glibc myself... got this config.log
Code:

running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

Have you rebooted since you added the devx?

ive rebooted 4 times so far. it loads during boot. and it shows as loaded in the bootmanager.
however ive also noted that changes to PATH are not persistant after shutdown and reboot.
If the Devx is ok... perhaps something wonky going on with the savefile maybe?

I just checked this myself and it worked fine. Maybe your devx file is corrupt?

ill hash check it in a few... but noticed something else. my changes to PATH are not persistant... and it doesnt have anything to do with the savefile. I just did PATH and added /usr/lib64. Closed RXVT then restarted it and the changes are not there. Check the time on the bottom bar.



EDIT:
Yea Hash check on devx failed. Was fine when I downloaded it on my other system and verified it. perhaps got corrupted when I transferred it over by disc.
Redownloading now.

Any ideas on the PATH issue?

Variables are never saved across sessions. If you want to persist them, put them in /.bash_rc (assuming you use bash).

RC2 works flawlessly on my Dell Inspiron 15R laptop (i5-2410 8G RAM HD3000 Graphics). Thanks!


tim,
im trying to see if there is some issue with the reboot of fatdog .
so when i try to reboot it just hangs saying restarting but i waited for for 15-30 mins and it still does not reboot.
after testing out various scenarios i have come to the conclusion that when the laptop goes into automatic sleep mode(like when you close the laptop lid) and then bring it back on(by opening the lid) and then shutdown , the shutdown hangs.is anyone having the same problem.
