Luki is looking good so here are few little usability things you may want to take care at some point, for a good first impression Very Happy

some folders in /root have 700 permissions (so apps ca not write in them)
no savefile-size option in the new first shutdown savedialog
no save icon on the desktop if legacy save is picked (legacy...)
"save" in the shutdown screen is easy to miss
no builtin_files in the adrv
the mixer icon on the tray is hardly visible
geany fonts too big
geany save file dialog too big if dpi is adjusted (more than 900px vertical)

It seems there is a very old version of xgamma-gui in Saluki which is buggy.
fix:
replace /usr/sbin/xgamma-gui with this version
details about bugfix here

@jemimah

I made an sfs file of Goggles Music Manager 0.12.6 (approx 10mb) but
when I tested it it gave an error about libgcrypt version conflict and seg faulted, if I install the libgcrypt pet that I made and try it again it works.

I put libgcrypt-1.4.6-i686.pet that I made in 008 in the sfs, maybe I
should wait for the final Saluki and try again?

I was very positive surprised to find the gfortran compiler in the devx package. I couldn't resist to rebuild the R package for Saluki:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=599104#599104

Also Gnuplot package seems to work:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=72356

octave sfs package for slacko seems to work too:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=72406

Yacas package seems to work too
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=72388

maybe those could go to the repos?

It worked for me, it produced an ogv file playable in xnoise or vlc etc.
I just set the screen size and away it went.

I'll have to back track what I've done that caused this to happen, thanks Billtoo.

This happens when the window manager starts dbus before rc.services starts it. Try this:

Exit to the prompt
Code:
/etc/init.d/dbus stop
/etc/init.d/dbus start
xwin


Hopefully this will be fixed in 009.

It'll probably need to be recompiled.

after some checking i am at a complete loss to explain why the produced 008 is only 40M. Can someone with both 007 (or 006) and 008 produce the delta, then move 007 and delta to a new folder and try to create 008 from 007 plus delta and see if it is the real deal 008 that is produced. Check the md5sum of the produced 008. I think xdelta is failing because of some unknown characteristic of 008. Clicking open the produced 008, it will look ok but you cant copy the whole contents out of the mounted folder to a new folder. (To do the usual manual frugal.) My failures are happening in both racy and luci003. All on ext3 partitions.

Icafe downloaded the offending 008. Md5sum matched the one posted by jemimah. But now cant proceed because my 007 was on my virtually new toshiba 500G external which has developed a strange clicking sound and then EeePc blackscreens and all indicator lights are out. This strange clicking sound first occurred when trying to produce 008 from the smokey01 hosted strange deltas yesterday. Only today when plugged in does the external hard toshiba kill all puppies. Remove external. Reboot. Click open icafe 008 try to copy contents to SDcard. Hangs at luki.sfs. Wont copy. Then EeePc fails to shutdown. Plugin external hard toshiba. >once again it kills EeePc.
Proceed at own risk. All happening in racy and luci003.

Why not try the old trick of disconnecting your mains power,

taking out the battery.....

and holding down your power button to discharge your lappy.

Instead of 10 seconds....make it at least 30 seconds.

Regards....Chris.

will this fix my external harddrive? Other times in the past when i cant shutdown i just holddown the power button and it will shutdown. I thought i'd try the new plug in the toshiba external HD shutdown method to see how effective it was.

Edit: Tried the battery removal trick. External toshiba still kills racy522 when it is plugged in and accessed. Takes about 30 seconds to get its act going. In the interum can see content of the external drive. Whoa it actually restarted not shut down now i can get the 007 off of the external HD. Perhaps it has something to do with the USB flashdrive i was using at the icafe. Because it warmt plugged when the succesful copy from the external HD went through. Will investigate.
Edit: could be my battery is past its useful life. As also indicated by in the unusable screen popups about power mentioned earlier in this saluki thread..sorry for side tracking saluki again jemimah.

Locally in both racy522 and Puppeeerc2 using 007 and 008 to generate a delta (66 M) then using 007 and the generated delta to create 008 produces a 008 with the correct md5sum. So back to not having any clue as to not why the online created deltas failed so consistently.
And have copied the content out of the 008.iso to SSD and booted saluki from it via xorgwizard and xwin.
Previous failure to copy was probably due to my defective SDcard writer.
