Frugal install of 5.7.30. In addition to the red NTFS-3g error box, Pmount is not working either. Clicking on an icon does mount the partitions though.

Code: Select all

# pmount
/usr/sbin/pmount: line 770: 17810 Terminated              yaf-splash -bg orange -fg black -close never -fontsize large -text "$(gettext 'Please wait, probing hardware...')"
/usr/sbin/pmount: line 775: 18927 Trace/breakpoint trap   /tmp/gtkdialog_pmount --file=/tmp/pmountdlg.txt_${MYPID} -G +"$X"+"$Y" > /tmp/pmountdlg_${MYPID} 2> /tmp/pmounterr
# 
Otherwise,seems to be working well so far.

OVPrecise 5.7.30 BETA 1

#24 Post by Billtoo »

I made a pet of the Ratpoison window manager if anyone would like to
play with it.
After installing the pet exit to the prompt and enter:
"xwin ratpoison" no quotes

The ratpoison key bindings screen appears with CTRL-t ?

I find that grun application launcher and pupshutdown are handy to
have when using Ratpoison wm.

Thanks Everyone!! :D :D

For testing OVPrecise, I will leave this beta up for a few more days just in case some else wants to test or if more things are found.

I would like to know if anyone knows how to get sleep, suspend and hibernate to work. I would like to have this all setup as well before Final Release is out December 1st or so.

I copied pmount from Barry's precise-5.7.1.iso to /usr/sbin and that
fixed pmount.
I've attached pmount.gz to this post, just rename it to pmount and put it in
/usr/sbin

OVprecise 5730 is running well on this pc.

EDIT:
Pmusic 420 is working great, it runs as user spot too.

suspend didn't work on this pc.
Go to /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc and replace this line:

Code: Select all

<Program label="Suspend computer" icon="mini-turn.xpm">exec /etc/acpi/actions/acpi_suspend.sh</Program>
with this line:

Code: Select all

<Program label="Suspend computer" icon="mini-turn.xpm">exec /etc/acpi/actions/suspend.sh</Program>
This should work. Will be fixed for last build.

Cheers

OVPrecise 5.8 rc1

#30 Post by Billtoo »

I edited the file but suspend still isn't working.

<Menu label="Shutdown" icon="shutdown24.png" height="16">
<!-- <Exit confirm="false" label="Exit to prompt" icon="prompt16.xpm" /> -->
<Program label="Exit to prompt" icon="prompt16.xpm">exec wmexit</Program>
<Program label="Reboot computer" icon="mini-turn.xpm">exec wmreboot</Program>
<Program label="Suspend computer" icon="mini-turn.xpm">exec /etc/acpi/actions/suspend.sh</Program>
<Program label="Power-off computer" icon="mini-stop.xpm">exec /etc/acpi/actions/acpi_poweroff.sh</Program>
<Program label="Restart X server" icon="mini-x.xpm">restartwm</Program>
<Restart label="Restart JWM" icon="mini-windows.xpm"/>
<!-- <Program label="Change Window Manager" icon="mini-windows.xpm">changewm.sh</Program> -->
</Menu>

I use Ratpoison as a window manager and PupShutdown to turn off the
pc, I did try suspend in jwm before I installed Ratpoison though and it
didn't work then and now if I switch back to jwm it still doesn't work.

It's not a big deal for me, just wanted to test it for you, next
tester please :)

Fresh frugal install of rc1. Everything appears to be working well until I make a savefile...... no intention of putting the savefile on NTFS and saves fine on ext3.

I have seen such really often in newer puppies (newer Kernels 3.x.x, Precise and Slacko!) when mounting a NTFS drive by a simple script.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash -a
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Sort out swap and mounted partitions
blkid  | egrep '(hd|sd)' | egrep -v "/dev/loop*" | egrep -v "swap" | cut -f 1 -d ':' | sed 's/\/dev\///'>/tmp/list_of_drives
for drive in  `cat /tmp/list_of_drives`;
do
	if [ "/mnt/$drive" = "$LP2BPL" ]; then
		mkdir -p /mnt/$drive
		if [ "`blkid /dev/$drive | grep -o "TYPE=.*" | cut -f2 -d '"'`" = "ntfs" ]; then
			mount -t ntfs /dev/$drive /mnt/$drive
			else
			mount /dev/$drive /mnt/$drive
		fi
done

exit 0

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# End 
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After unmounting and remounting it manually (clicking the drive icon) the NTFS usually mounts in read/write mode.

I had a full install of precise 5.6 then I upgraded to 5.7 using the iso to boot
could I do the same upgrade with this new OV 5.8 version?

Hi oldyeller

Tested RC1 - seems to work well - however couple of "wrinkles" previously seen in Precise5.7.1 still present:

- my Broadcom wifi is blocked on bootup - needs "rfkill unblock wlan" to activate it - with this wifi connection goes fine established by Frisbee and using the Broadcom STA driver

- suspend** works but on return from suspend the fan in my laptop is on full blow even though the cpu activity is low....Precise has always been different to Slacko in this respect

**I installed LxPup-by-SFS and used the Suspend option in the Session Control menu (LxPup all worked fine).

Cheers

Maybe I should build this with LxPup-by SFS as a wnidow mngr?

What do you think?

It might not be a good thing to have the pet from shinobar and just let thoughs who do use this puppy go to how to and ask for help. I now that this might work on some hardware and not on others.

@ James C I will see about talking to Mick about the ntfs and see what can be done.

@slenkar I am not sure that I would try and do an upgrade with this puppy it might not be compatible with precise 5.7.1. You could wait until this comes to final and if you want save what you have and install this. You should be able to install side by side with the other, not sure if that is possible or not. Might want to ask in the How to's for help on this.

Whether to Change to Openbox + lxpanel

#37 Post by mikeslr »

Hi Oldyeller,

I'm not sure why changing the window-manager would have any effect on whether ntfs partitions initially mount properly. As that function can be managed via a script, it takes place at a lower level. This, however, should not deter you from making such change as Openbox provides a much nicer window manager than jwm, especially if combined with lxpanel. Perhaps there is something in the build of peebee's Openbox+lxde sfs which coincidently circumvents the problem showing up under jwm.
If you make such change, also consider substituting pcman or spacefm for rox as file manager.

I guess this can be done, I never did that is there a thread for this?

It would make it easier to upload and for others to download.

Cheers
