Hello!

I am a man of many partitions, running in screen-res 800x600, so I always have the drive-icons stacked to the right hand-side of my screen. I know shinobar's code was incorporated into /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d of 4.3, which is also inherited into dpup-482. And it does take care of some oddities of the placing of drive-icons BUT, does not tend for us needing more than one row for the drive-icons.

Anyway, from 412 and onwards, I just use my modified /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d, which resolves the issue for me.

Just in case anyone uses the same unfortunate combination of many partitions and low screen res, here's what I do:
add to /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d

SCRNXY="`xwininfo -root | grep -o '\-geometry .*' | tr -s ' ' | cut -f 2 -d ' ' | cut -f 1 -d '+'`"
SCRN_X="`echo -n "$SCRNXY" | cut -f 1 -d 'x'`"
SCRN_Y="`echo -n "$SCRNXY" | cut -f 2 -d 'x'`"
th=`grep '<Tray ' /root/.jwmrc-tray|grep -o 'height="[0-9]*'|cut -f 2 -d '"'` # MHHP
max_Y=`expr $SCRN_Y / 32 \* 32 - 32` # MHHP
[ `expr $SCRN_Y - $max_Y` -lt `expr $th + 26` ] && max_Y=`expr $max_Y - 32` # MHHP

and replace the free_coord() function of that same file with

Code: Select all

free_coord() {
 #find a free place on desktop. v410 avoid exact overlapping icons...
 COORDSGRID="`grep -o ' x="[0-9]*" y="[0-9]*" ' /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin | sed 's/[0-9]"/"/g'`"
 #COORD_Y=`expr $SCRN_Y - 64` # MHHP
 COORD_Y=$max_Y # MHHP
 MIN_Y=32
 COORD_X=32
 MAX_X=`expr $SCRN_X - 54` # MHHP
 xPATTERN=" x=\"${COORD_X}\" y=\"${COORD_Y}\" "
 while [ 1 ];do
  xgPATTERN="`echo -n "$xPATTERN" |  sed 's/[0-9]"/"/g'`"
  [ "`echo "$COORDSGRID" | grep "$xgPATTERN"`" = "" ] && break
  COORD_X=`expr $COORD_X + 64`
  if [ $COORD_X -gt $MAX_X ];then # MHHP
  COORD_Y=`expr $COORD_Y - 64`;COORD_X=32 # MHHP
  fi # MHHP
  xPATTERN=" x=\"${COORD_X}\" y=\"${COORD_Y}\" "
  [ $COORD_Y -le $MIN_Y ] && break # MHHP
 done
}

change JWM taskbar height to 26 in /root/.jwmrc-tray.

To try it out, first delete all lines with /root/.pup_event/drive_xxx in /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin, delete /root/.pup_event, then restart X-server.

I have only tested with (narrow) screen-res's, like 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, though.

FWIW /

Much appreciated MHHP, I will incorporate in beta5...

And I thought I have many partitions o.O

A new problem that seems to be coming up: The startup script /etc/rc.d/rc.local doesn't seem to retain any changes for me. But this is in beta 3, maybe you've already fixed it, gposil...

[gposil]

shankargopal,

Yes it has been fixed, just change its permissions to executable...

I will clarify my 'console' problem. I can copy and paste within console. I can not copy text from geany or anywhere else and paste into 'console'. I can with Urxvt, so it's not a clipboard prob.

The pupsaveresize only failed the first time, might be my fault.

Cheers

On pasting into "console"

I can paste into "console", unless what I'm trying to paste is copied from geany (it's ok if copied from e.g leafpad or rox).

Ctrl + middle click works in mrxvt There's also context menu on ctrl+right click but doesn't seem to work.

[dejan555]

And now suddenly doesn't xD Very weird behaviour. Found some tips to add shortcuts to ~/.mrxvtrc but didn't work either.

If you remove the tick marks in the Desktop Drive Icons manager and restart X, pmount will not work. It opens normally, but when you try to mount a partition, it closes without mounting the partition.

If you leave icons on the desktop, (tick marks present), pmount works properly.

Really enjoying the speed, stability, and the new Control Panel.

The remaster application script in the control panel needs to be updated to include an option to remaster from a directory as well as a CD.

Great job

Seems like it has more to do with the restarting of X. Without touching the tick-boxes in pmount preferences, before any restart of X, pmount works from wbar, menu and CLI, and /tmp/pmounterr is empty.
After restarting X, pmount runs from CLI, with an empty /tmp/pmounterr while, if run from menu or wbar, just exits due to the content of /tmp/pmounterr:

Code: Select all

(gtkdialog_pmount:20613): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
	Using the fallback 'C' locale.

Rebooting gets things back to how they were before the restarting of X.

Not a solution but, maybe a useful piece of the puzzle for someone ...

MinHundHettePerro's observations above seem to be correct since after a reboot, pmount works on my system also.

EDIT: nevermind... i thought i had something figured out. i'll come back to it.

Well here's some stuff

IIRC, it is related to having Unicode characters.

upgraded to Beta4, so same thing here re. middle button geany/terminal.

[vtpup]

uhhhh, how do I remove wbar.....

[gposil]

Is wbar causing problems...

If you wan't to stop it, just remove or move /root/Startup/wstart to somewhere else, and comment out the following lines in /usr/local/apps/Wallpaper/set_bg...like so

#killall wbar &&
#/root/Startup/wstart
#cd /

Regards the geany/mrxvt problem...I have tracked down that it is a scintilla problem, which is the sourceview highlighting component of Geany...it is apparently being worked on as we speak...Until they fix Geany, you could use dpup's Parcellite...works fine with everything. I don't really wan't to ditch mrxvt just because of this Geany problem...do you...

[vtpup]

Is wbar causing problems...

Thanks gposil. Not big problems -- overlaying some desktop icons that I can't get to anymore. And not actually displaying icons I use frequently, so requiring work to set up. But I could probably solve those if I wanted to.

No, just a matter of personal preference. I just don't like it. No biggie. To each his/her own!

I have fixed this problem in beta5..I think, at least it doesn't do it for me anymore....add the following to /etc/profile

LC_ALL=C
export LC_ALL

Hope that fixes that...

I am not sure if the geany/mrxvt issue is strictly with debian or not but copy and paste between the 2 works in ttuuxxx's 2.14x16. maybe he has the solution.
