jamesbond,

dash seems to be working OK. See below.

dash -v
### /etc/shinit - shell init file
# this is executed by shell - both login or non-login
# setup stuff for interactive shells only
case $- in

# interactive configurations - prompt, history, etc
# TERM, USER and LOGNAME is already set by login/su

I have been considering making 621 my main OS but I'm waiting for the next release, I guess after the 3.11 kernel is released.

The file dofsck does not appear to be in fd-611 or at least which can't find it.

Thanks

I am using fatdof 611. It has wpa_gui icon in tray instead of usual networking icon. Now I have to connect to eth0 by opening network wizard from control pannel. Is there a way to connect to eth0 automatically and see the RX/TX in tray icon?

Please help.

Sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak

Network Wizard does not connect automatically , maybe because wpagui starts first . To have Network Wizard window at startup instead of wpagui one , in /etc/xdg/Startup/ you must link net-setup.sh from /usr/sbin/ and replace wpagui. The connection is not automaticaly , though...

For the tray icon of network : Right click on lxpanel and choose Add/Remove Panel Applets , then add Network Status Monitor and when you have it right click on it and choose Network Satus Monitor Settings . --> Interface to monitor : you have to write eth0 .

Dear Gobbi,

Many thanks for your help.
I found "Network Status Monitor" applet, it is good, however, it takes a lot of space (width-wise) in the tray. So I had to remove it.

When I was using Fatdog 521, there was always a head of puppy coming to front and saying, "eth0 connected!". In Fatdog 611 I am missing that. Is it that the autoimatic connection to wired network has all together been banned in fatdog 611?

I don't need wpa, since I have no wireless net facility.

[Gobbi]

I use only wireless , but from what I read in the forum more than one complained that in FD 620 ethernet connects automatically .FD620 is much improoved than FD611 .
I would try it...

I downloaded google-chrome from http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/pets/600/google-chrome-29.0.1.547.65.pet.

It didn't generate a menu item.
While I tried to run it from CLI, it gave

snayak,

That pet was made for Fatdog64-630, which is only out as a rc1. Rc2 will be coming out in a couple weeks. To make it work in 611 libX11 would need to be updated. I've uploaded a pet here:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/broken/libX11-1.6.2.pet


No promises that it won't break other things or that other libraries would need to be updated too. But I think that might be all you need.

[snayak]

Ok.

Thanks kirk for this info.

Do we have CodeLite for fatdog anywhere?

I noticed that updatedb and locate doesn't work on Fatdog 611.

It shows
