Sorry, I have noticed your post after submitting version 1.1 Embarassed

So we can make it short:
Take version 1.1 please

If anything goes wrong report it please, if OK too Smile

Here is version 1.1

I added it to Akita, works lovely.. But a couple of issues I noticed, not really important for me but thought I would mention them anyway.. The 'Free' column has no '%' sign, unlike the 'Use%' column, which should probably be 'Used %' ... Also when using ymount to switch languages, I get display errors for all German characters... But probably that is just because I am using "en_US" not "en_US.UTF-8" at the moment.. So not a major thing..

Also I actually edited the 1.1 version, so it uses ash, not bash, so I had to change a few lines to remove the 'bashisms'.. Works a bit faster, no issues as far as I can tell either .. yet Wink

EDIT:: Also, hoe do I change it so that ymount IS listed in the taskbar, and has a normal close button?

Hi sc0ttman,
glad you think it is rock solid now Very Happy

The 'Free' has no '%' sign because it does NOT show %.
It is 'Free' just because this is shorter than 'Available'.
The 'Use%' column is Use% because the developers of coreutils had chosen this term.

Good point,
in other scripts the bashism

Code:

export OUTPUT_CHARSET=UTF-8

enables correct output without utf8. This is looking for me like another missing feature of yad.

So call it 1.2
or post it here and I will update because I think you have enough other things to do.

No idea how to list in the taskbar.
There is a 'Quit' button to quit the application. What do you want to close as there isn't anything opened?
EDITED: Now I see: rox-filer has opened! But as rox-filer does NOT have a close button ymount also has none Cool

Thanks for reporting

EDITED
Maybe you make pmount a symlink to ymount in Akita Idea

It might be, but I get the same thing with some GTKDialog apps that also use that code.. Think it is more likely that not fully changing system language causes problems.. But not a major issue.. Also the non-bashism way is simply

Code:

VAR='something'; export VAR

But actually, I IMVHO think it's generally not the best idea to allow users to choose languages/locales on a program by program basis.. Ymount should automatically show Russian if my locale is Russian, German if its German, and so on.. Ymount IMHO, should always and only show up in the current system language.. and fall back to English is none found, of course..

Not saying things should be changed, just a thought.

OK, I've done both, see attachment below. I might have broken something by using ash, so it might need some other changes, but seems to work great... Wink

I mean that if other windows go on top of ymount, there is nothing in the tasklist at the bottom... So I cannot click on the programs tasklist box, to bring to front, maximise, minimise, etc.. I must minimise all other programs to see it again..

I personally think pmount is a little simpler, and is fast enough on Akita, as I hacked it a bit to speed things up - uses ash, less piping, etc.. I will compare ymount and pmount code (and maybe JWM-tools) to see if I can improve either one any further..

I am giving users the freedom to change GUI language, nobody is forced to do it. Somebody might find it useful.
BTW seamonkey addon quick-locale-switcher does it, Suzy does it...
(edited: gcompris does it too )
It is new in puppy now.

I see, putting ymount into the task bar is a feature request. But I don't know how to do it.

If you compare them then please compare among others:
Mount all drives.
Unmount all drives... Smile

Thanks to you and sc0ttman.

I uninstalled ymount ,

and installed ver 1.2

Initially all was well: all the partitions showed up for mounting or unmounting.

after rebooting, the previous behavior occurred: they disappear from the ymount screen after they are mounted or unmounted.

Here's a paste from terminal:

Code:

ash: : invalid number
df: invalid --block-size argument `'
ash: : invalid number
ash: : invalid number
ash: : invalid number
ash: : invalid number
df: invalid --block-size argument `'
ash: : invalid number
ash: : invalid number
ash: : invalid number
df: invalid --block-size argument `'
ash: : invalid number
ash: : invalid number
ash: : invalid number
df: invalid --block-size argument `'
ash: : invalid number
ash: : invalid number

Subject description: Latest versions have problems

As you can see from the attached desktop, the latest 1.2 does not display partitions correctly using Three Headed Dog 5.2.9. Only unmounted partitions are displayed. Same problem exists in versions 1.0 and 1.1.

Subject description: Latest 1.2 is not reliable

Just a note, if you change the first line of the ymount 1.2 script from

Code:

#!/bin/ash

Code:

#!/bin/sh

, then any risk that it was me who broke something is removed Wink

Then debugging can continue as normal Smile

But seriously, in case anyone was wondering, I only changed a few very simple things and then the 'hashbang' on the 1st line.. I did not touch much... I'm guessing the problem lies in the fact that I completely forgot about the 'function' file in /usr/local/ymount - it still contains bashisms which will be throwing the main 1.2 script, as it uses ash.

here is the updated functions file, with all bashisms removed.. I think.. the 'checkbashisms' script I used claims it's all fine... All changes commented with "# sc0ttman" at the end of the line... Plus I put the long piped commands on one line, and added a sync after (Barry recommends that with long piped commands)...

I haven't tested yet, but here it is anyway...
NOTE: This is not a real gz archive, just remove the '.gz' extension..

No change in the funny behavior mentioned previously.

Did you get this 'funny behaviour' with 1.1?

Delete the config file once before launching ymount and everything is OK.

Code:

rm /root/.config/ymount.conf

Thanks again for reporting

Deleting ymount.conf works, thanks.
