Fatdog64-800 Alpha / Beta [20 Dec 2018] [CLOSED]

[step]

i have attached image (no dependencies shown). i did not install or reinstall gimp. it is stock version.

I have just checked both the alpha ISO and the beta ISO for which gimp version is installed, and I could only find gimp 2.8 but your screen capture shows that gimp 2.10 is installed. That makes me think that gimp 2.10 is in your savefile/savedir or loaded as an SFS or that you are booting a remastered ISO. I don't know what else to say at the moment. If I can think of something else I'll come back to this. Thanks for following up on my requests.

maybe it got pulled as a dependency when i upgraded gtk recently due to my control panel problem which was solved here.

So my mouse issue from the previous page or so is back.

This time

Code: Select all

killall sven

didn't do anything positive. However then running

Code: Select all

sven

got it working again, although the terminal is still running with it in it, which is annoying.

I don't know the cause this time. I have not touched sven at all for days.

My last FD usage was installing VirtuaBox, WINE SFS & 32bit SFS. Then playing a game, testing to make sure my VMs all worked, and then browsing with Chrome.

edit: Upon restart, it is working properly again.

Try backgrounding it.

Thanks for the tip smokey01. I will keep that in mind for next time it happens (if it happens)

If gimp-2.10.4-x86_64-1.txz is installed,
then libgegl will need upgrading , perhaps libbabl as well.

I like to use the appimage since dependencies are inside. It mounts in /tmp

they seem to be upgraded and installed already

Don't. Ublock Origin no longer supports SM (they support the "new" Firefox), and for whatever reason they don't keep old versions available, nice.

hi jamesbond,

might have been said already but ublock origin does make a version that works on palemoon, seamonkey and older firefox.https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases
you need to scroll down to "firefox-legacy"

[p310don]

you need to scroll down to "firefox-legacy"

How do you install that from the github page?

edit: click on the xpi file (if your mouse is clicking properly)

How do you install that from the github page?

in some browsers you can just drag and drop onto the open browser, else ...
tools >> addons >> extensions and click the cog/settings icon near the search box and 'install from file'

@Jamesbond , @step and any other fatdog team

I'm using linux version of Telegram messenger from fatdog (700).
but , recently , and specially from 800 alpha , Telegram dont start easily.
in 90% of times , message appeard , and if you try several time , suddenly skip button works and telegram will be appear.

first i think it's about telegram application , but as this problem only show up in fatdog , ... , I came here for any help and suggestion.

Thank you

[step]

@borzeh, sorry I don't use telegram. Have you tried a newer Telegram binary? There's a Telegram AppImage that *should* work in all Linux versions. You could try that. There's also a thread about Telegram in this forum. Another thing you can try is to start telegram in a terminal window and see if it prints out any error messages, which could shed some more light on this issue.

[borzeh]

@spot
Thank you very much

I also try to run telegram from terminal (As Spot mentioned before) , and ...

first time it show : floating point exception / and nothing run
second time a window appeard that show try to check update! / when i click try again , nothing happened , and when i click on skip window closed and floating point exception in terminal.
third time: check update window appeard again / when i click try again , nothing happened , and when i click on skip / Update window freeze and cpu usage get to 25% level.
when kill process from task manager , window disappear and in the terminal i have only "killed" text.

at the 4th time , when i type telegram, it run without any exception!

if i close telegram process and run it again , every thing going to start point!

sometimes skip button on update window , run program!

is there a way to remove the USB stick after boot, run from RAM layer, then reinsert the USB stick before shutdown and save the RAM layer onto the USB stick? i seem to bump the USB stick into everything as it protrudes 2 inches out of the side of my laptop.

i tried currently, but when i re-insert the USB stick it mounts with a different name so it cannot backup properly when i shutdown.

I think such an option would add a lot of value to fatdog since laptops are ubiquitous nowadays and i assume others may be as clumsy as I am when moving around.

A couple of things to consider. 1. Use a nano usb stick as they only protrude about one centimetre. 2. Use the blkid to identify your usb stick rather than sdb1 etc. This way your usb stick will always be found. Look in Fatdog help for boot options for more information. Search for uuid.

I don't believe that qmake is in devX. I need it to build synergy.

Edit: I installed "qt5" from gsplat and it had the missing file

Edit 2 I also installed qt4 since I couldn't figure out how to compile synergy for qt5. My previously complied package for synergy worked after installing qt4.

Modifying fstab seems to prevent fatdog64 from stating up. This seems to affect the current and previous version of fatdog64. Here is an example line I added (ip and mount point slightly modified):

Code: Select all

//192.168.x.x/puppyshare /mnt/samba     iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=0,gid=0,credentials=/etc/samba/smbcred 0 0

This modification of fstab works for me to access a samba share from another computer. Unfortunately it prevents me from booting.

The fstab line you posted is missing the required file system field, cifs in this case.
How does Fatdog64 "not start", can you describe in more detail? Does it hang at some point in the boot process? What's on the screen at that point?
How do you connect to the network? wifi or wired, when you mount the samba share successfully after Fatdog64 has booted?
If Fatdog64 hangs while booting you could try to add option "showerr" (without quotes) to your initrd line in the boot manager configuration file or directly from the boot manager menu. This option directs boot error messages to the screen.
One of the things that could block initrd is password prompts from the samba mounter. With "showerr" you'll be able to see such prompts. I see that you've included a credentials file to the samba mount options but maybe it isn't enough.
