Guy Dog 5.0.1
I experience the same with my SD card install (gotta leave the card in) but on dual core amd and 4 gig of ram I am not noticing any speed issues. In fact. It runs like a raped ape.
Besides, I don't need the slot for anything else as I have a pendrive sd card adapter if needing that slot.
I don't know if that is normal or not cimmaron. Since it is not a big issue for me.

Iguleder says it "must be a bug." As you say, though, it still does run pretty fast, even if not in RAM. Maybe I prefer it this way since it boots so much faster. (I think it does load into RAM when booted from CD.)
Also, because I don't remember seeing this in this thread, I had to install a fix for the Network Wizard to get it to run. The fix was offered on BK's blog just before GuyDog was released: Network Wizard bugfix. I'll attach the pet here as well:

Wow, thanks deepsea! It would be great to get those in a public repository. Maybe you could get ally to upload them to the puppy linux section at archive.org.
Here's the GuyDog page already started (but missing the sources and devx): https://archive.org/details/PuppyLinuxguydog-5.0.1

Could you possibly upload a pet for most recent SpaceFM that works with guydog?cimarron wrote: Also installed SpaceFM as file manager. Even sifted through the code of several applications (pmount, filemnt, edit-sfs) to replace the remnants of Rox-filer with SpaceFM. They sure don't make it easy to get rid of Rox...
As far as the replacing Rox problem is concerned, may I suggest leaving the existing apps as they are but instead put a "fake rox" script something like the following (or simpler) in your executable PATH. Then if the existing apps get upgraded the newer versions should work without further modifications regarding rox:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
# Program: Fake Rox
# mcewanw 6 Dec 2013
# If no rox on your system, name this script "rox", modify it to suit, and put it in executable PATH.
if [ -z "$1" ];then
_argv1=""
else
_argv1="$1"
fi
if [ -z "$2" ];then
_argv2="whatever you want"
else
_argv2="$2"
fi
if [ -z "$3" ];then
_argv3="whatever you want"
else
_argv3="$3"
fi
if [ -z "$4" ];then
_argv4="whatever you want"
else
_argv4="$4"
fi
case "$_argv1" in
"")
# whatever alternative commands you want to substitute for rox (with no option)
;;
"-d")
# whatever alternative commands you want to substitute for rox -d dirname
# Using "$_argv2" for $2 etc
exit;;
"-D")
# whatever alternative commands you want to substitute for rox -D dirname
# Using "$_argv2" for $2 etc
exit;;
# repeat similar to above for any other rox options you want to substitute for
#(check: rox --help for possibilities)
*)
# whatever alternative commands you want to substitute
;;
esac

Not sure about the most recent version, but I've been using 0.7.1, provided by technosaurus here (no pinboard): SpaceFM 0.7.1
Your script looks interesting. You'd have to try it to see how well you could make it work (I can't remember all the variations of code edits I made).

Fake Rox script for use with SpaceFM in GuyDog
Thanks for the SpaceFM pet. If anyone has newest version or time to compile I would much appreciate that. Otherwise I'll try and get round to that someday.
Okay, I have made a quick stab at the fake rox script I suggested above, including using pkill during unmount as cimarron used in his manual script mods. I've only tested it with Pmount as yet. Seems to work fairly well. Basically, in Guydog, I installed SpaceFM and then simply modified the existing /usr/sbin/rox script to contain:
Could always modify the arrangement to look for a default filemanager and use that instead of hardcoded one I suppose, but above okay for my own needs currently. Also, only really dealing with rox -d and -D options above, though could be expanded per my comments in the code. I don't know if a true rox -x alternative matters with SpaceFM so I just treated it the same as rox -d (so could have used case "-d|-x".
Similar scripts could also sometimes be used as an attempted workaround more generally when other default programs have been replaced by others with different commandline options.
EDIT: Alternatively, you could simply install Rox as well as SpaceFM! Rox only takes up a few MB on disk. I downloaded a puppy 4 version rox_filer-2.9.0-1-p4.pet from http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-4/ and renamed /usr/sbin/rox to /usr/sbin/roxTMP in Guydog to try it out... Can even drag and drop files between rox filemanager and SpaceFm. Of course, if you run both at the same time you use a bit more memory, but you don't need to.
Truth is, rox is a quite lightweight and versatile - seems to use less memory than either emelfm2 or spacefm as far as I see in LXTask Task Manager unless there are extra associated processes running I don't know about. You can even make launcher panels with rox onto which you can drag folders or application icons or desktop shortcuts (showing icons) from /usr/share/applications:
Panel at top:
Panel at bottom:
or of course the rox pinboard:
which you can switch off again with empty name:
Of course you have to work on the panel/pinboard background still per the rox documentation. I kind of like rox...

Same here. If you look at my post screenshots. I am running it.I kind of like rox...
As far as the newest SpaceFM. I am busy as heck with other stuff and my
GuyDog install was more of a proof of concept for my own personal what ever.
Anyhows. At Ignorant Gurus Blog. He has
which I have not investigated yet in my install. If they are there. I might back up my save file and try with petget (when I get time to do so)Depends
GTK+ v2 or v3 (2.18 thru 3.x supported)
udev or HAL
desktop-file-utils
shared-mime-info
http://sourceforge.net/projects/spacefm/files/
https://github.com/IgnorantGuru/spacefm/tree/pkg/0.9.2
to install the binaries for debian instead of a .pet. Right now I am using the same spacefm as you guys are but I will un-install it first before trying this idea out.
Just a idea is all. It is how I tinker. Sometimes I am the Windshield. Sometimes the bug.
Iguleder's link in first post is no longer active, and there are several fresh links throughout the thread, but just thought I'd re-post one of them from a few pages back:

This whole thread is looking more interesting by the day. Good work reviving it Rok (your link recommending Macpup412 and Guydog brought me here for a look-see...)
