LTS puppy

#24 Post by cowboy »

Howdy Fellas,

In light of BK's mention that "However, longer term, working toward a next release, is up to members of the Puppy community. I will not be coordinating further releases."...Precise 5.4 was supposed to be an LTS version, correct? Seems I remember seeing it compared to the 5 year LTS term of Ubuntu's Precise?

Not trying to grate here, but just got a friend going on Puppy (Slacko 5.3.3) , and they checked the forum, noted the new version number, and then emailed over the quotes above. I explained that this was common with Puppies (ie, Lucid with Playdayz, Slacko with 01micko), etc) that BK sometimes gets them rolling, and then someone in the community will take over the LTS updates. That's...right....right?

As always, I truly appreciate the efforts of every developer in the pound on the users behalf. Playdayz created a true LTS with Lucid, 01micko has made Slacko an incredible and ongoing distro, and none of us would even be here without BK. Thank you.

I was wondering the same thing.
Anyone going to take over as prime developer?

Doesnt jwm theme change fix that.
Yes, pemasu, the bar has color when the jwm theme is changed. I changed the jwm theme to "Flat-grey" and now the title bar is always grey.

With, for example, "Flat-grey", the bar colour changes from darker grey to lighter grey when I focus on a different window. So it works fine for me.

true

Themes are what they are, some subtle and others more obvious. In any case, not (usually) a bug per se.

Funny, I've always rather enjoyed the minor challenge of themes I'm not all that thrilled with :)

Right, the title bar changes from very light grey (inactive) to medium grey (active). for the setting Flat-grey.

Hi don, the ibiblio.nl server synchronization can take a while: maybe a few hours or a day or 2. I had the same problem as you ~31 MB.
If you are in doubt about iso/sfs file size -> use the md5sum.txt to check the file. Usually BK uploads the small files first for other users to check for consistency.
btw, thanks for the french forum support :)

burning dvd video fails on precise puppy

#32 Post by shinobar »

burning dvd videos by pburn 3.7.5 on the precise puppy 5.4/5.4.1 fails.
I copied /usr/bin/dvdauthor extracted from slacko 533 to precise 541 and got SUCCESS.
Maybe the dvdauthor in precise is somewhat broken.
/usr/bin/dvdauthor extracted from slacko 533 is 135kB large.
the dvdauthor in precise is only 54kB!
EDIT: the dvdauthor in precise is 154kB, whereas slacko 533 has 135kB. (Tnx to pemasu)

Re: iconfinder and YASSM

#33 Post by SFR »

drblock2 wrote:Updated to 5.4.1 from 5.4.0.90 all went well.

But, when I tried to run iconfinder, it seemed to hang while compiling the icon list. When I broke off the program, I got an error message saying that the list file was probably too large.

Checking /root/.icon_finder revealed a list file weighing in at 4.28 MB, which did seem like quite a lot!

I examined the file and found the source of the problem - iconfinder had left my local machine and had started to download the addresses of all the jpg's on my server. This is why the program appeared to hang.

This unexpected behavior was caused by an unintended interaction with YASSM. iconfinder is configured to search /root among other directories and YASSM mounts the network shares in /root/YASSM - hence the entire network is included in the search rather than just a few local directories where icons are likely to be found.

This problem did not arise earlier when attaching shares with pnethood, which mounts under /mnt/network.

The problem can be solved by adding:

Code: Select all

-path /root/YASSM -prune -o
to line 115 of iconfinder after "find $Paths".

Alternatively, just run iconfinder for the first time before attaching the network drives with YASSM:) :) .
Hey Drblock2

Thanks for noticing this unforeseen "feature". :wink:
It's been fixed, see here.

iconfinder and YASSM

#34 Post by drblock2 »

@SFR
Tried out iconfinder 1.1 - Works now as advertised. I agree - there are times when you would like to search the entire network. Great application.

What an interesting side-effect! How big a share did you have mounted with YASSM?
I have three network drives with a combined capacity of ca. 1.3 TB connected at the moment although only about 300 GB is actually occupied by data.

I am a creature of habit (with only Windows XP to deal with), but having tried the built-in YASSM, I don't think I will go back to pnethood. YASSM is really fast and stable.

I can also recommend the Samba-TNG server - which I have been using for the last two years to attach my network drives.

Next project is to get rid of the Windows network entirely.

blog2 registration

#35 Post by jamesbond »

Hi Barry,

Sorry in advance to hijack the thread.

I've been trying to register to your blog2 - sending emails and PMs, but received no response. I'm afraid my emails go to your junk mail folder and I know PMs are not always reliable here - so here's my request. I will re-send my email if you don't get it. My email address is similar to my forum name here.

cheers!

In Puppy Package Manager,
Did you do the examine for dependencies prior to downloading and install?
