Backi. I am glad that you get net connection problems sorted out. I know that you know, but maybe not all others, so....that script is meant for PUPMODE=13. PUPMODE=12 is normal hdd frugal install and that script wont help. The saves are written straight to the savefile. But usb installation is different. Saves are done only at intervals or not at all if interval=0. Then you can shut down with that script instead of normal saving shutdown. It has one quirk also. But nothing serious I think.

Code: Select all

#Unionfs layers setup by this script...
#unionfs layers:                RW (top)    RO1             RO2          PUPMODE
#full install, flash drive:      tmpfs       PDEV1                                    3
#First boot (or pfix=ram): tmpfs                               pup_xxx.sfs    5
#pup_save is a partition:   PDEV1                              pup_xxx.sfs    6
#ditto, but flash drive:       tmpfs       PDEV1              pup_xxx.sfs    7
#Normal running puppy:    pup_save.3fs                    pup_xxx.sfs   12
#ditto, but flash drive:       tmpfs       pup_save.3fs    pup_xxx.sfs   13
#Multisession cd/dvd:        tmpfs       folders(tmpfs2) pup_xxx.sfs   77 ,(13+64)

Pemasu... I dont know how this happens, but there are a three entries in /root/.flsynclient, clickfinger1, clickfinger2, and clickfinger3. They should all have a default setting of '1', but clickfinger3 is set to '2'. This is not configurable via the GUI.
With ckickfinger3 = 2, some touchpads (all of mine) go absolutely crazy, copying and pasting blocks of text when only highlighting was required, firing of clicks and doubleclicks for no reason, loading programs when the mouse cursor passes over icons etc.
It is a well known problem through all Linux distros, and simply fixed by changing the default value to '1', but I dont know how you would do that for a new install.

DaveS. I remember that you posted about it before. Only solution I know of, is to include preconfigured /root/.flSynclient to the build. And hope it will not be overwritten when you first time save your settings.
/usr/bin/flsynclient is binary, you cant change its default settings without compiling it again and hacking the source. Or it takes the default from synclient which is also binary. My included synclient is from wheezy...so it is newer than squeeze one. Of course there could be script to execute synclient with that change: synclient ClickFinger3=1
When you first time use Flsynclient and save it, there is that change also saved.

Flsynclient is just front end for synclient....or thats how I have thought of it.

Interesting as it comes up clickfinger3 = 1 in Slacko and Racy, though as we know, Slacko has its own problems just now with touchpads.
All a bit of a black art this touchpad issue :)

DaveS. Yeah. The missing information for me is...From where the initial configuration is derived from. Knowing that, it would make possible to try to edit it. I dont know what conf files, binaries, dev rules there are which affects and from where the initial configuration comes from. Wiser, smarter, better looking and younger person is needed. Help.

Stu90`s frisbee-manager-0.0.2 has been reuploaded to the my initial post also. I remind you to update to use that version. It fixes the state recognition bug.

I dont have need for it, but there seems to be clear need for that kind nice disabling app for Frisbee. Sniff.....

Thanks stu90. And thanks to you all. I have already uploaded a lot stuff to the Exprimo repo. I will soon post the updated pet-packages-exprimo-official database file.

Lol. Stu90. I believe you have packaged slightly wrong your frisbee-manager-0.0.2 pet. When you extract it, it extracts to 2 folders, root folder has folder 1 and sda2 and inside them is the frisbee-manager-0.0.2 folder. I repackaged the pet in my earlier post.

Re: Dpup Exprimo 5.X.8

#1108 Post by soundNICK »

hey Pemasu !

Well I tried last night, and this x-primo works good with my dual core.

Now I have problem with the launcher, which is... ALT - Esc to start it
if I remember... well... the nice menu block pops up, and has what I
was looking for - a URL space... here is the problem... whatever URL
I type in doesnt seem to go anywhere by clicking icon it makes ?

Usually for launcher icons I used PRISM which isnt supported for
the built in seamonkey... in fact, they stopped prism developing.

Any help with the launcher you know ?

Good morning soundNICK. My first army quality distro tester, when I created my first puplet, SnowPuppy. Great to hear about you.

About your question. I seem to have slime in my brains in this morning. I hope coffee ( a lot of coffee) will help eventually.

I am not sure what application is question of. Somekind launcher application or JWM tray launcher ?
Of course I will try to help and I am usually eager to reason and try to understand what is the problem. But now I am a little at loss.

Anyway. Nice that you downloaded Exprimo, used it and gave feedback.

Cheers soundNICK.

Shinobar has found bug, probably with recent aufs. Barry`s report based on Shinobar`s findings:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 969#571969
USB boot, installing PETs has a problem. It seems that recent version of aufs has a problem, exhibited in both Wary with 2.6.32 kernel, and Racy with 2.6.39.4 kernel.

Shinobar reported it, see post:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 735#572735

The script installpkg.sh goes into /usr/local/petget, gunzip it and make it executable. Attached:

EDIT
I have decided to revert this change, so please ignore the attachment.

I found that the script does work for me, but there is another problem with it, that will need attention. For now, leave as-is.
The bug causes that in usb booting situations, the pet installations fails, not always, but depending on hardware. It causes that installed files which are written straight to savefile, are not found alright. Pet installation fails with usb booted situations, in PUPMODE=13

I am afraid this affects Exprimo and Next dpups also. They use recent aufs in their kernels.

And stu90 reported that my reuploaded frisbee-manager-0.0.2 pet is also defective. I might have packaged wrong version or dir2pet after 6 hours of work in my frugal installation just have gone grazy. I cant test the pet within 8 hours. I check it when I am back home in the evening.

...unfortunately this time, it seems Ive uncovered something you had nothing to do with(!). This function is part of Enlightenment desktop_ not something you included on purpose I think_ plus, they seem to be going thru versions without documenting them, and I found nothing on web to help fix this problem.

Yes, it is called the "Everything Launcher", started with Alt / Esc... too new
I guess to be working right(!). Sorry to bother you on this Pemasu, but
otherwise good to see you again !

Soundnick. Everything launcher. I havent used that, but you could check from runtt21 great manuals if there is something about it. You find a link from Macpup thread. There is a lot good information about e17 anyway. I will play with it soon.

About frisbee-manager. Yeah...I did load accidentally the defective version. Nothing wrong with dir2pet. I created the working version but uploaded the wrong one. I should always change the version number, lol.

I upload here the right one. My earlier post has been reuploaded also.

I will check now if there more posts about that usb boot pet installation problem.

Iguleders posted Wbar works fine. Wbar seems to be much more usable now. No more need to edit manually the content of wbar. Nice gui manager to do it.
Thanks Iguleder.

Stu90. Slight modifications. :D :D People should pet their desktops, so I could feel how it feels to use desktops like Daves or stu90, lol.

review of Dpup Exprimo 5.X.8

1) FBReader should have right click options

2) mkdated backup doesn't work with files
with whitespace in name

3) The right click option for folders has two similar
entries - Search inside and Search with Pfind

4) 'Set as wallpaper' right click option needs an icon

review of exprimo 5x8

#1116 Post by don570 »

5) 'Extract here' for .bz2 files did nothing :cry:
Tip: use pupzip to unpack bz2 files

6) When I tried to extract a .txz file from Slackware
I got a 'failed' message. I didn't have that problem
with my latest right click package for Lucid puppy.
I believe I got my script to extract from Scottman.

7) When I tried the right click for
/root/puppy-reference/video/Download.avi
all I saw was a black screen.

8 ) htm and html files have two similar right click menu
items

9) zathura_gui needs updating to version 1.9

10) Is my backup application for pupsave files
worthwhile??

Don570. Have I missed Fbreader right clicks ? I thought I had added them.
If not, I definitively add them. I know you posted the pet for them.

Set as wallpaper, yeah I know. It was last minute addition. Call it laziness.

Duplicate entry for search. I remove another one. Which one do you have in your right click pet. I will remove the other one.

And. Next right click.... the makepet handles right click pet making. The makepet script has been made by stu90. I just added rox right click properties for it. Pet making has never been easier than with that script.
The right click will have dir2pet as right click option when you right click over directory.
Not profoundly tested so feedback is welcome.

About your second right click post. It is good that someone tests them and I can fix the non working ones.

I will check the .bz2 problem and the .txz script. I check the script in your pet.

About download.avi. I didnt quite understood. .avi right clicks for playing surely works.
