Hi Toni, I changed frisbee, see here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 397#801397
Maybe better solution than replacing official bash?

Hi, Fred.

Much better solution but I do not understand why this "-" support is removed from upgraded official debian bash package? Why it is supported in the included default bash but not in the upgraded version?

I suggest we wait with the remastering till we test frisbee proper.

ln -s geany /usr/bin/leafpad

This could have worked if you opened a terminal in /opt/bin or in /opt/apps/geany (where geany is), if you didn't: '/usr/bin/leafpad' is probably a broken symlink.

Several options: try one of these (will overwrite /usr/bin/leafpad):

Code: Select all

 ln -sf /opt/apps/geany/geany /usr/bin/leafpad

Or:

Code: Select all

cd /opt/bin/ # geany is there as a symlink
 ln -sf geany /usr/bin/leafpad # symlink to symlink works also 

Or also:

Code: Select all

cd /opt/apps/geany/
ln -sf geany /usr/bin/leafpad

I'm also a bit confused by the fact, that geany lives in /opt.
Is it a proper residence for a default text editor?

Hi, Anikin.

Geany is taken from Puppy. just remove it and install much bigger debian version with apt-get. See if this solves your problem.

Hi, Fred.

move-in-crypt (crypt save utility) available if you like to include it in OpenBox version. It is simple script to manage encrypted save file.

Not probably, it IS a broken symlink!
The linking was done from root.
Lesson learnt, what else can I say.

Your patience is appreciated.

I'm not sure why but I do know that variable with a "-" wasn't already working before;
Using "older" bash, ("-" is not working but "_" does) :

Code: Select all

root@dog:~# my-var="hello"
bash: my-var=hello: command not found
root@dog:~# my_var="hello"
root@dog:~# echo $my_var
hello
root@dog:~# 

So maybe they took a step forward by not supporting it with function names also.

Yes, frisbee should be tested, but I'm almost sure it's ok because otherwise it would show error(s) (when running from terminal).

OK, Fred. I will make a remaster with last frisbee and will use it for a day or two.
We will add frisbee in next version and keep the patched bash package for download in case someone need it.

That's what's life is about, I guess

I do, thanks, It's good you keep index of changes otherwise I would be nowhere

In case you're interested here's scripts for installing deb(s) which will automatically run 'apt-get -f install' (only) if needed, I'll include it in openbox version for right-click option 'Install deb(s)'
Included (for choice): gui script using yad and cli script using xterm.
Can be tested or used from commandline for example using cli script:

Code: Select all

instdeb-cli <package1>.deb <package2>.deb <package3>.deb

Attached:
installdeb.tar.gz

Thanks, Fred! Added to the changes list.
Take a look at number 11 choice options when you have time. I prefer to include mount-wizard from Sfs but it has different version of probpart that conflicts with the one installed in /usr/bin from ffmpeg-convert and gives some harmless errors in terminal. Works well for me anyway.

Hi, Fred.

Some test results with apt-get upgraded bash.
New frisbee works fine for me, pburn and sns also work. William's apps and ffconvert work. Some more testing for our scripts needed also I think.
I suggest we upgrade bash in next iso to find further problems with programs taken from Puppy easier. I will add it to the changes list if you agree.

Hi Toni, Just an idea for probepart duplicate problem:
Move probepart binary in mount-wizard from /usr/bin/ to a place outside path e.g. to /opt/apps/ (or where you like)
Change line 20:

Code: Select all

PARTSLIST="$(`which sudo` probepart -k 2> /dev/null | grep '^/dev/' | grep -E 'udf|iso9660|ext2|ext3|ext4|reiserfs|msdos|vfat|ntfs|minix' | cut -f 1-3 -d '|' | tr '\n' ' ')"

To:

Code: Select all

PARTSLIST="$(/opt/apps/probepart -k 2> /dev/null | grep '^/dev/' | grep -E 'udf|iso9660|ext2|ext3|ext4|reiserfs|msdos|vfat|ntfs|minix' | cut -f 1-3 -d '|' | tr '\n' ' ')"

The `which sudo` should be removed also I think and 'gsu' line on 172 better moved to the top of script

Then on line 192 also add the path /opt/apps/ before probepart:

Code: Select all

all="`/opt/apps/probepart -k |awk -F"|" '/'$partition'/ {printf ("%.1f", $3/1024/1024)}'`G"

Last time fix for smokey-get see edit5 here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 239#801239

About new bash and gtkdialog scripts:
I've been doing a search for possible use of a dash in function name in William's and Terry's scripts, and couldn't find anything wrong like that.
I really think frisbee is exception using unusual "-".

Edit: Just tried sfs's mount-wizard without included probepart and works fine also (using the existing /usr/bin/probepart from ffconvert package)

[saintless]

Hi, Fred.

I know it is more work but it will save us troubles later:

Code: Select all

apt-get purge ffconvert

Install separate package with probepart and probedisk:
http://smokey01.com/saintless/Fredx181/ ... 1_i386.deb
Install ffconvert with probepart added as dependency:
http://smokey01.com/saintless/Fredx181/ ... bepart.deb
Install mount-wizard from Sfs and moded from Fred with disktype:
http://www.smokey01.com/saintless/Fredx ... 86-sfs.deb
And if you like also to install old mount-wizard renamed binary and edited not to conflict with new mount-wizard here is the package:
http://smokey01.com/saintless/Fredx181/ ... 1_i386.deb
Any new package that needs probepart or probedisk needs instead to add probepart as dependency.
if you agree I will add it to the changes post.
Do you also agree to upgrade bash from apt-get?

Edit: reuploaded move-in-cryp because /usr/share/menu file was not named proper.

Hi all

I was looking at ways to improve sfs-direct-remaster for DD and started to read remasterDog ... then I wondered how many changes to make it work with EmSeeV2.2. So I fired it up and it seemed to work with /tmp option only available. My pc has 8gb ram, EmSeeV2.2.sfs is 2gb.... the app complained that there was not enough room in /tmp. So I followed the calculation in the script and I think I found the bug in line 49

Code: Select all

#49.  if [ $TOTSIZE -gt $RAM ]; then

I swapped the positions of the variables and the script worked.

Also I have my own remaster apps at complete feature set at version 1.8. rc-3.
sfs-unattended-remaster goes all the way to bootable iso on DD, FD, MC, Lassie, OVPrecise etc etc ... plus other utilities.

[fredx181]

I know it is more work but it will save us troubles later:

Code:
apt-get purge ffconvert

Install separate package with probepart and probedisk:
.......

Yes, I agree, looks good, well thought.
And yes, I agree upgrading bash, can't we best upgrade everything for new iso, btw?
I did and got no problems.

Hi Toni, Fred and all,

Here's a quick couple words on the modified mount-wizard from sfs. First off, probepart makes it look really nice. However, the nicety comes at a price. The actual mounting speed has become noticeably slower in my testing. Because every time the mount button is pushed, it also probes partitions. Ideally, what I'd like to see is a separate "probepart" button added to mount-wizard. Thus, we'll have the best of the two: the speed of the original mount-wizard and the newly added functionality of probepart, all in one wizard ... plus happy users, who will have an illusion, they're in control

Hi, stemsee,

So I followed the calculation in the script and I think I found the bug in line 49
Code:
#49. if [ $TOTSIZE -gt $RAM ]; then
I swapped the positions of the variables and the script worked.

Thanks for testing but I see no logic in swapping the variables.
If you do that, it just doesn't check anymore if you have sufficient space in /tmp.
But apparently something is wrong, can you just run below (part of remasterdog) in terminal and post the output of the two last echo commands?

Code: Select all

ram_size ()
{
    [ -r /proc/meminfo ] && \
	grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo | \
	sed -e 's;.*[[:space:]]\([0-9][0-9]*\)[[:space:]]kB.*;\1;' || :
}

TOTAL=$(du -cbs --apparent-size / --exclude=/{dev,live,lib/live/mount,cdrom,mnt,proc,sys,media,run,tmp,initrd,var/cache/apt,var/lib/apt} | awk 'END {print $1}' | sed 's/.\{3\}$//')
echo total=$TOTAL
SFSSIZE=`echo   $TOTAL/3 | bc`
echo sfssize=$SFSSIZE
TEMPSIZE=`df -k /tmp | awk 'END {print $3}'`
TEMPAVAIL=`df -k /tmp | awk 'END {print $4}'`
TOTALTEMP=`echo $TOTAL + $SFSSIZE + $TEMPSIZE | bc`
TOTALTEMPPLUS=`echo $TOTALTEMP/50 | bc`
TOTSIZE=`echo $TOTALTEMP + $TOTALTEMPPLUS | bc`
RAM=$(ram_size)

echo totsize=$TOTSIZE
echo ram=$RAM

Btw, it could well be that your 8Gb RAM is not enough.
The calculations are based on total size of / (minus exclusions), which is copied to the working directory in /tmp + the size of the .squashfs + the size of /tmp itself.
Again, swapping these: $TOTSIZE -gt $RAM, gives wrong picture of the situation.
Also, I need to mention that the calculations are on the safe side as it cannot be predicted exactly what the total size will become (I think)
Also depends on which compression option you use (but I guess you use xz)

Hi, Fred.

See the changes in fixes post:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 4e4#776368
I guess you mean apt-get dist-upgrade
If not I will change it to apt-get upgrade.

Anikin,
you can install both mount-wizard versions without conflict now. I do not plan to work on this anymore. If someone else make new version it will be available for download.

Toni

[fredx181]

If not I will change it to apt-get upgrade

Yes, I meant just that.
