(OLD) (ARCHIVED) Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

MUT doesn't show a second swap (I don't have one), and it shows the hda1 (home) size correctly and shows hda7. Old pmount doesn't show hda7, and it doesn't show the mysterious SwapM partition. Your version shows I have a real Linux swap on hda7 of 1 GB, which is correct, but is missing size on hda1 and shows the mysterious SwapM. I think Dougal knows the code best. His tabbed version 3_1 (attached) seems to show everything correctly (in my case), so perhaps you can incorporate that code.

version 0.7
- uses the latest (???) Dougal-code.
- automatic size of window to show all your drives. Height does not pass 600 dpi.
- fixed splash

We could have a function for partview, eject CD/DVD...But then we need menues to not get a messy window. Menues are slightly buggy in gtkdialog, and would not be good with Barrys trick to keep the old window while loading a new one. An alternative is to use a list or combobox. But it is also important that the mounter is VERY newbie-friendly....Do you want to share your thoughts, - think loud...

Hi,

Is it possible that Pmount can show unmounted drive labels the same as MUT / GParted.

[zigbert]

Do you mean something like this?

[zigbert]

version 0.9 is uploaded. See main post.

Does not detect sda1, sda6 or sdb1 even if mounted (both scsi2 drives) although it does find swap at sda5
sda1 & sda6 are both ext3, sdb1 is vfat
Pmount is the same, it only finds the scsi3 drives (sdc and sdd) and swap at sda5.
(sdc1 is ext3, sdd2 is ntfs, sdd2 is vfat.)
Used 'mount all' button and sdb (vfat) was mounted, but not sda (ext3), but sdb does not show in the pdrive list, only in MUT.

MUT finds everything ok.

Also if resizing window it seems jerky.
And a minor point, on File menu, Refresh has an extra 's'. Using ver. 0.9

[zigbert]

If I understand you right, Pdrive doesn't act different than Pmount. If so, my gui-work is correct. My skills with drives are limited, and my hardware are few. I sure want to fix the code, but for now others have to do the investigation.

Best wishes

Hi Zigbert,
Drive Label;
the Line "swap - sda5" seems to be right I'm not sure about the rest

If that can be included it would be great

Any restriction on the label length? my longest label is 11 charactors

thanks
DC

version 0.10. See main post.

Just some new options.

[DC]

Hi,
Justed loaded 0.10 on to puppy 3.00 and
where ever I click (left or right) in the main body the window closes.

Went back and tried 0.9(I think) on puppy 2.17 and that works fine.

On to the layout
I've noticed that the infomation in the mount point col is repeated in the last col. If you could merge these some how then you could save some real estate.

Is it possible to adjust the popup window to be wider rather than square.
