Hi Toni,

I will test it soon as I get time for it. Hopefuly tomorrow or the day after.
We should add it to the HowTo thread. I think there is post from you about this already. Maybe adding link to your post here will help.

No problem, Toni!, I'm sure you will get back to reality someday after your big Ubuntu adventure

Link was already there if you mean my post about local repo:

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 007#776007 (with added update now)

But I added link also now to my previous post there.

For my volunteer work I do a lot with Lubuntu, I like it, not that I tried to make it smaller but made script similar to remasterdog and (after some hassle of course, indeed things are different from Debian) it works nice.
I have the feeling upgrading from Hardy to latest will be very hard to do, btw.

Hi, Fred.

Anyone who likes to try has the base to start now. The point for me was to make it work on old laptop that can't run linuxcnc other way.

BTW patched skype is blocked from today. The workaround setting up the account to autologin with 4.3.0.37 still works.

Hi, Anikin.

Moded for DebianDog mount-wizard_1.0.1_i386.deb
I'm sure it can be done much better but this is all I can do with my poor and limited scripting knowledge.

Edit: New version uploaded.

Hi, Fred.

Haven't tested all possible options yet but cowsave works fine for me.
I will test more today and tomorrow but I think we can add it as official next version fix. Much better solution for live-boot-3x than mine

Thanks!
/etc/rc.local line is fine for me but if you prefer to add it in each /live/cow based script I do not mind.

It can mount partitions in DD now, but there's no unmount and browse buttons. I did a quick test in SID with a slightly different result: it has all the buttons on sdc1 - the working partition. And that's it, for all the other partitions, there's only mount button. OK, let's leave it at that, the community doesn't seem to be interested in this mount-wizard. I can live without it too. Thank you for your effort.

After mounting partition close and open again mount-wizard and you will see all new mounted partitions with unmount and browse buttons. Not perfect but it works. It is really good and simple mount script but it needs profesional touch I can't give.

Hi, Anikin.

Added extra script to restart autmatically mount-wizard and the deb package reuploaded. Test it if you like.
For standard Debian the scripts killgtkdlg and mount-wizard must go in /usr/bin instead /opt/bin or put /opt/bin in PATH
Just keep in mind if you have another gtkdialog based program running at the same time it will be terminated from killgtkdlg script. I can't find a way to restart successful mount-wizard different way yet.

Hi Toni, yes it works well, but note that I tested only with the patched initrd.img, so may behave a little different with the non-patched one.
I think adding to /etc/rc.local will be best, then there's correct link /live/cow and /live/image always.

Regarding creating (local or online) repository, I made some progress, see here (Edit3)
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 928#799928
And here (Update2) for better way of creating repo.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 007#776007
Also I can add later, if you like, how to make a repository signed (with a 'Release.gpg' created).

Hi Toni,

I sure will test it.
But let's wait a little bit, I'm going to ask someone to have a look at it.

saintless · #3570 Post by **saintless** » Mon 22 Sep 2014, 13:16

Hi, Fred.
I keep the untouched initrd.img mostly because my old scripts create proper /live/cow and /live/image links with it. Since cowsave works even better with patched initrd.img I will change the howto posts where we need when we make new iso versions.

Thanks, Fred. Anything you can add as new information will be useful for someone later reading the thread.

Hi Toni, Anikin,
Here's improved mount-wizard, the 'killgtkdlg' script is not needed and the order of partitions is right also (sda first)
Just for info how I fixed the order of partitions: Changed line 85 from:

Code: Select all

partitions="$partition $partitions"

To:

Code: Select all

partitions="$partitions $partition"

Fred

Beautiful, that's all I can say.
Reliably does what it's intended to do, no issues, whatsoever.
Will it be possible to make it display a separate usb icon, like in Puppy's desktop? Also, the name in the title bar - make it "mount-wizard"?

Great job, guys. Many thanks to both of you - Toni and Fred and iguleder, of course from whom this little gem has been shamelessly stolen.

saintless · #3573 Post by **saintless** » Mon 22 Sep 2014, 16:11

Thank you, Fred!

Now with your touch we can add it for next version packages

Anikin, reuploaded with icons:
/dev/fd* - floppy icon
/dev/sr* - cdrom icon
/dev/sda - hdd icon
all others like sdb, sdc... - usb icon.
I don't think it will be easy to change title bar to mount-wizard. There is no window tag in the script.

Ha!, now it's really nice with the difference in icons.
Thanks the most for your work to turn it into this from a gtkdialog1 script!
Tried changing/adding the window title but couldn't, I'm no good with gtkdialog, however sometimes I make things work by accident

Where is Terry?, I'm sure he can do it.

Fred

Now testing in SID - works great!
My sdb is an ssd drive, I changed the script accordingly:

Code: Select all

   *sdb*)
          type="drive"

fredx181 · #3576 Post by **fredx181** » Mon 22 Sep 2014, 17:24

A whole lot of drives with partitions connected.
Edit: Only minor point IMHO is that it shows swap and extended also.

saintless · #3577 Post by **saintless** » Mon 22 Sep 2014, 17:30

Hi, guys.

Reuploaded with changed frame tag. I also can't make window tag work.

Toni

anikin · #3578 Post by **anikin** » Mon 22 Sep 2014, 17:54

It's given name was "mount-wizard", I think.

saintless · #3579 Post by **saintless** » Mon 22 Sep 2014, 18:09

Actually original whtitle is: <wtitle>Mounting Wizard</wtitle> but lets change it to mount-wizard. New package uploaded and picture replaced. Iguleder's name is included as author (it was missing in the original script from your link) and I think it is clear what is the source script. mount-wiard or Mount Wizard is minor issue in my opinion.

Hi, Fred.
Some interesting project pointed by Sfs in the forum:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 261#800261
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 291#800291
Quick compiled deb package apulse for us:
http://www.smokey01.com/saintless/Fredx ... 1_i386.deb
Can you test it with Skype 4.3.0.37 without installing pulseadio when you have time, please?
From what I read if you use apulse skype latest skype should work with alsa and pulseaudio is not needed.
I wish there was a project to make latest skype work on SSE and less than 1Ghz processor
