Saluki

Hi jemimah:

Gtk-youtube-view now opens, but reports the error shown in attached when something is entered in the search box. I opened a terminal and typed the instructed initiation phrase (ignoring the unnecessary 'sudo') and everything seemed to go fine. But typing a word into gtk-youtube-viewer's search box still reports the attached even after a reboot.

I'll test shinobar's sfs-load 1.4 and 1.9 and report back.

Dear Jemimah, I am sorry for my English, in Saluki 018 there is a serious problem, at start PPM and attempt to download update package lists from all 4 repozitories under condition of absence of a network (frisbee it is switched off) PPM dies for ever.
Besides having local resources in network DC ++ at the limited external traffic, I cannot download anything at other users in a network, using for example EiscaltDCPP-GTK 2.2.1 writes-is not present Users for downloading, search though in other distribution kits all is normal does not work. EiscaltDCPP-GTK last releases are not started, lay out in if it is possible in REPO working EiscaltDCPP-GTK. It will be very useful.
Best Regards

I can't get EiscaltDCPP-GTK to compile. No idea what's wrong with it.

Sfs-load appears to hang when trying to unload some sfses. "Wait" remains on the screen for minutes. Closing that dialog box does no stop sfs-loader, as it still shows up as active in lxtaskmanager; though using 0 ram. If killed via lxtaskmanager it can not be restarted (that is rerun). Restarting X also isn't effective. Shutting down is effective, but the shut-down process takes forever:

I am experiencing this also, everything I've tried to unload doesn't, then there is no way other than rebooting to be able to run the sfs unload again,
but that fails to work, I have to use the power button, as it won't reboot, it hangs

This is worse than I thought - unloading is causing a kernel oops. Was this happening in the last release? I didn't change anything kernel related.

I still have a request for implementing global menu for xfce4 panel. It's a mac osx -like menu in panel

here's what it looks like

of course, it's just for fun only:)

rename-files - special version for Saluki

A utility to do various manipulations of file names in a folder

I tried my best to convert rename-files to Saluki,
But I'm not sure of how to get a right -click recognized just for
folders.

It shows up in the menu for all files and folders

but it might still be of use. There is a warning message if you try to
use it on a folder.
EDIT: a file not a folder!!!!

Here is a little (double) issue.
Installed midori 0.4.4 over the base. At the end of the lib check, SDL is reported as missing.
SDL is a dependency for gst-plugings-bad-0.10.22. Looking at the pet.specs It is unclear which package is is pulling gst-plugings-bad. So whichever it is, does not include gst-plugings-bad as a dependency, though it is...

Anyway. PPM offers to find SDL and it does. But for that it opens a new instance of PPM. If you close this new instance at the end of the process the previous one remains open but now is just an empty shell without any functionality.
Maybe the depinstallfunction of check_deps.sh should check and use for open pkg_chooser.sh instances instead of opening a new one?

Ok, That would probably work.

This little patch works fine at my end

This happens to me on 013 haven't tested Saluki prior to 013 and am still using 013. I am about to try 018.

Rolling back to this kernel fixes it:

EDIT: Maybe not - worked the first time, but it's not working again now.

I have uploaded it to the repo. I thought this would only work with Ubuntu, but it seems more or less ok.

[magerlab]

Thank you! Unfortunately, it works only partially. I have only window buttons in panel. Global-menu doesn't work and there's a message that plugin crushed

[pemasu]

Here is aufs3-util-saluki. It is compiled in Saluki-016, using devx sfs for it and I used kernel sources 3.2.13-pae when I compiled it.
Aufs3-util has been created from up to date commit.

How can I test the sfs_load hanging. Which sfs application for example can be used to test the bug. Sorry...I havent followed so keenly the thread.

I do not thing is the kernel. I had the hang with an (olpc) 2.6.35 kernel that has been rock solid in my system, with many puppies and SFS_load versions

[jemimah]

This patched version seems to solve the kernel panics for me. You guys see if you can crash it.

[pemasu]

Before applying the fixed sfs_load...google-chrome.sfs did crash in the second round and caused kernel crash also.
With the fixed sfs_load ( I have mine compiled latest aufs3-util installed also) I couldnt crash it with 8 load-unload cycle. I will continue the whole night.

I report on the morning...lol.

[jemimah]

Thank you! Unfortunately, it works only partially. I have only window buttons in panel. Global-menu doesn't work and there's a message that plugin crushed

I just poked at figuring out the menu - but that is the part that needs ubuntu patches for gtk.

I still think it's somewhat useful without the menu. At least it gets rid of the title bar when windows are maximized which is nice on small screens.

I haven't crashed it yet. What did yours say when it crashed.

[magerlab]

Plugin "Global Menu Plugin for XFCE Panel" unexpectedly left the panel, do you want to restart it?

The plugin restarted more than once in the last 60 seconds. If you press Execute the panel will try to restart the plugin otherwise it will be permanently removed from the panel.

That's what I get when adding Global Menu plugin.
Indicator app menu plugin works ( window buttons in panel).
may be it needs qt also ?

Hi Jemimah, pemasu & all;

I tested shinobar's 1.4 & 1.9 and reported results on Shinobar's thread, but had to go out before providing link here to them. See http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 028#618028. Checking in here, I've discovered jemimah's new sfs-load pet and pemasu's apparent success using it.
I'll test the same.
pemasu, try testing sfses not specifically built for Saluki. Noobs and those running more than one puplet are likely to try to load-unload them. Being able to unload a non-functional sfs is almost as important as being able to load a functional one.

Edit: Tested sfs_load-1.3-saluki.pet with the following: All could be loaded and unloaded without a problem:
gimp-2.6.11.sfs (not from Saluki repo)
google-chrome-stable_12.742.112.sfs
picasa3.sfs
Streamtuner2-2.03.sfs (not from Saluki repo)
LibreOffice-3.5.1-en_us-2.sfs (not from Saluki repo), and
xnviewp-xnconverter.sfs (not from Saluki repo).

With the exception of Streamtuner2-2.03.sfs, all not only loaded and unloaded, but also ran.

This may be the wrong thread to post this, i know. But, I could not think of where else to post this.

Pemasu has done fabulous work for the total PUP community. In SALUKI he has been instrumental with his kernels.

I run a Live media system.

Questions

• Is there a way that the Live media (cd/dvd) could have a boot-time

  Code: Select all

  puppy pfix= ....

  method where the user booting the system could direct the process to boot the non-PAE or the PAE versions for, say, SALUKI18+?
• Or could Shinobar's method of GRUB4DOS on the booting Live media allow a selection of either PAE or non-PAE?

I think its obvious how this would be of benefit to the developers and users alike.

Thoughts for the future distros where the distro developers offer both version of a 32bit kernel.

Here to help

Installed pemasu's aufs3-util-saluki-0.0.1.pet and the sfs_load-1.3-saluki.pet, this seems to be a lot better but I still get the occasional lockup when loading a sfs, I'm only able to load 6 sometimes 7 sfs files running on a usb install, I receive an error message like below, but it sometimes will load on a second attempt.
