Icewm 1.2.21

i was going to make an Icewm 1.2.21 Unleashed package, and probably a dotpup package too

i have not finished it yet (testing, debugging, configuring, making design decisions, etc etc etc, take most of time in making a package)

here are the basic binaries that i've been experimenting with, if someone wants them

i can edit this post later, and upload a new dotpup here with the same name

this is not an "official" finished package

I had so much confidence in you that I just overwrote the old binaries.

Then I logged out and restarted X. It loaded in a little less than 2 seconds. But then again I have a slow computer. :)

your confidence may be misplaced ... all i know is that it's been running ok on my machine, so far anyway

i commented out what seemed to be a debug message that shouldn't be there (it was filling up xerrs.txt)

there are probably compile options that don't need to be enabled ... especially for an Unleashed package ... i didn't care much when it was installed on the hard drive

i think it should work ok with 1.2.20's config files

anyway, post if you find any bugs

Complete Trash

#142 Post by dvw86 »

Here is the "Complete Trash" application. If no one complains of bugs, then I'd say it was ready for the index. It should work in any window manager and any version of Puppy. Let me know of any issues.
EDIT
Uploaded a new version (7-6-2005) Added "exits" to the code. This will keep it from hanging up when something like xmms is playing and the trash trys to play its own sound file.
EDIT #2
Uploaded an updated version. (7-10-2005) You can now drag multiple items to the trash simultaneously. The sound file will also not play at all if another application like xmms is using the sound card. This prevents the delayed trash sound.
EDIT #3
Uploaded a new version (8-30-2005) Used Puppian's idea to keep from restarting the pinboard. Now just the trash icon refreshes. This makes for a quicker refresh and helps a lot on slow hardware. It also works better with Rox 2.20 this way.

Trash dematerialiser

#143 Post by Lobster »

Tried the Trash dot pup on a brand new install of 1.0.3 and am having the same problem. I create a file in root. Drag to the desktop and then into the bin.
The file on the desktop changes to a white on red lettering icon which says "ERROR" - so the icon has been deleted but not this "Newfile" which remains on the desktop. Then I tried right clicking and "Empty the trash"
the Newfile entry in the dialogue goes but not from the desktop . . .

If I right click with ROX - I can "Remove the item"


We managed to sort some of it out on the IRC channel. Ian likes the dematerilisation sound the bin makes (this sound is very similar to what happens when rematerilising in a new dimension - so I am told)

using googlescraper (google without the ads)
http://www.scroogle.org/
you can get your bin to talk here: (mine already does but they are changing my medication)
http://www.naturalvoices.att.com/demos/

:)

I am working on my own dot pup and hope to have it tweaked and ready soon. It is a strange piece of software . . . more details soon . . . You lucky Pups

The bin is very useful. You can mount a hard drive with a Windows partition and delete file after file - very therepeutic . . . should keep me amused for years . . .

desktop icons are not files ... they are lines in a config file ( /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin )

if you drag a file to the desktop, it makes a shortcut on the desktop

you can remove that shortcut by right clicking it and clicking Remove Item

if you drag the shortcut to the Trash shortcut, the file will be move to Trash ... the desktop shortcut will not be touched ... if the file is gone, the shortcut is no longer pointing to a file and it will show a red error message

in other words, you can't delete a desktop shortcut by dragging it to the Trash icon

for that matter, it is not easy to create, move, or delete desktop icons from another program, like a script

Quicktables 2.3 Firewall Script Generator

this asks questions, then creates a firewall script
that adds rules to iptables

Usually, you would run the script from rc.local

this will put the files in a folder called firewall-quicktables, in my-applications
(to uninstall, just delete the folder)

- nat and no nat (firewall only) options
- extremely newbie friendly while still secure and very feature rich

thanks for that explanation G2
Is there any way of making the bin behave in a way a kludge-brain like me would expect? It rather defeats the purpose of this easy to use option?

:)

I want a bin and I want what I put in it to dissapear. Is it my fault that Linux has other ideas of how bins work? Tux save us all.

:oops:

there are other desktop icon programs ... it's convenient to use rox for the desktop icons, because it's already installed

i don't think the Trash program knows whether a desktop icon or an icon in a rox folder was dragged to it ... i suppose someone could improve the Trash program so it checks if there is a desktop icon linking to any of the trashed files or folders, and if there is, it could edit the pinboard file in Choices to remove it from the desktop (and restart the pinboard so it will disappear) ... if a person was using his own pinboard file rather than the default Puppy pinboard file, that would make it trickier too

Monmotha Firewall 2.3.8

http://monmotha.mplug.org/

this will put a folder called firewall-monmotha
in the my-applications folder

you will have to configure and install the firewall yourself (not really difficult to do)

Puppy's Morizot firewall was setup as a simple firewall for standalone machines ... this has more configuration options, like NAT

Without doing any research first ( Bad lad tonight ), I'm assuming that BashBurn, by definition is a utility for BASH.
Whether it will still work with ASH is yet to be discovered.
I'll give it a try and post the results.....................Anybody need any coasters? :lol:

If BASHburn works well in Puppy I'll put it in the index, if someone will post the settings that worked for them in Puppy.

Rich, can't you burn CD-RWs? That's all I use for first-time tryouts.

BashBurn will not work properly with ash

Puppy 1.0.3 has bash
earlier versions of Puppy do not have bash

it may not work properly with bash ... it is intended to work with xterm (not rxvt) and the standard Gnu-Utils (not Busybox's cut-down replacements)

for example, the BashBurn scripts use the command setterm -clear to clear the screen ... Puppy doesn't have setterm, so i wrote a script to clear the screen when setterm -clear is called

ash to bash

#155 Post by Lobster »

Those wishing to try bashburn with Puppy 1.0.3 (Bash becomes the default in 1.0.4) are reminded to click on rxvt and type bash (remember to hit enter/return you blondes) This changes from the small compressed ash command set to bash

you will see the command line change to bash-3.00#

I was looking for xterm and wonder if mrxvt 0.3.13
(if not working with the standard rxvt) is worth trying?
