Google saved me from having no clue on what XBMC is all about.
http://xbmc.org/about/
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Looks promising, however it breaks the mouse pointer (Logitech wireless mouse) so I can't run it properly.

Saluki 011 is working great on my desktop computer described below.

Thanks,

Still got endless problems with FlashPlayer.

Any chance of having Legacy Grub, please?

That's nice.

One thing I would do is export a flag from pup_event_frontend_d to /tmp ( where you have added the notify line - BTW pup_event_frontend_d.orig in included in 011 ;) ), and have the xfce4_desktop_icons loop run only if this flag is present.
No need to run probdisk and probpart all the time since pup_event_frontend_d is doing it already.
Also add a flag generated by xfce4_desktop_icons itself for its first run after boot.

Ideally most of the needed files should be generated by pup_event_frontend_d directly but that's probably too many changes in it.
Anyway, I'll probably try a version 0.5 later today if you (or anybody else) does not by then.
I'm actually merging the code right into pup_event_frontdend_d.

Ah, good. Then I will not upload v0.5.

One thing that may need a second look is the handling of the optical disks. Mounting unmounting and ejecting.

Also I believe that in xcfe_drive_all

Code: Select all

    xcloseleft=$(($xleft + 58)) 
    xcloseright=$(($xleft + 73))
is more accurate than the original +60, + 75

Nice desktop drive icon implementation.
However, on optical media the unmount box is ejecting the disk but the icon stays on the Desktop. Maybe the eject_cd function of drive_all should also remove the /root/.pup_event/drive_${DRV_NAME} directory since the disk is ejected instead of unmounted (as in traditional puppy).

Saluki 012
CD-Live => pupsave (ext3)
Now my azerty keyboard is good.

Used nouveau (Nvidia driver) => unload it and successfully installed but glxgears is slow :
212000 instead of 900000.
FlashPlayer did not run (Midori, nor Opera).

UTF-8 : OK
SFS : Vlc 1.1.13, Gimp 2.7,Skype static 2.1.0.81, Opera.

Everything tested is working well but it's only a quick test.
Thanks for your work.

The past few updates have been mainly bugfixes and small enhancements so I would expect upgrading to work. If you have problems, be sure to test with pfix=ram to make sure they weren't caused by the upgrade, though.

Let mw know if the new vlc works well. I'd like to remove the vlc sfs, as it has qt libs packaged inside which might cause problems if you want to install qt.

updating 011 save file to 012

#1205 Post by Marv »

I had another totally uneventful update from the 011 save file to 012. All settings, panel, my font and theme setup survived nicely. In general I update, but where there is some major change I want to catch like the packagemanager improvement from 010? to 011? or so, I save my .opera, fonts, .config, themes, etc. start fresh and remerge them. Not automated but not too much work. I very briefly tested the 'drive icons on desktop' and didn't get the mount/unmount dialog box on doubleclick as I did with deepseas pet and a stripped down version of it w/o themes. That's what made it workable for me in older openbox pups. Didn't really persue it because it's not relevant until singleclick desktop comes to xfce.

Still driving Saluki daily. Thanks.
Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.
