I'm not sure if they will move in the future but jemimah is welcome to leave them on my site.
Smokey01.com will remain the primary mirror but I think I've figured out how to automatically sync the repo at saluki-linux.com. This should only download the changed packages - not the whole repo every time.

Code: Select all

wget -np -mN -nH --cut-dirs=2 http://smokey01.com/saluki/pet_packages-saluki/
Smokey01, just in case you ever want to mirror something, here's what I've learned so far.

It is possible to get ssh access at Hostgator, but you may need to open a ticket. Once you can login with ssh it's pretty easy to test commands like the one above. Plus you can do things you can't do with ftp, like create symlinks.

Once the syncing command is perfected, it should be possible to schedule it to run periodically with cron.

Works fine, give's the splash a softer look, not so harsh, definitely more pleasing to the eye.
That looks good. I will add it.

Hi Jemimah - JFYI

am running luki-022 on my old Acer 243LC and it really is running well.

So far, all seems very good. Will try on the Asus 701SD tomorrow.

The Saluki website looks very nice too.

Many thanks for all that you do - very best regards - Ray

pulseaudio

#3096 Post by stifiling »

Saluki runs very well. any way of getting pulseaudio working on it? pulseaudio doesn't appear to be of high importance in puppy world.

is there a better or equal way of using a bluetooth stereo headset on linux...without all the commandline song and dance?

Mutter - just lost all my desktop icons / drives.

Pmount still works. Maybe do a restart-X.

However - apart from above - amazed at how well 022 runs on a 10yr old laptop. Very smooth, quiet and lower temp than many alternative's.

Regards - Ray

adobe air

#3099 Post by Dromeno »

Hi Jemimah,

Adobe AIR for Linux is here:

http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived- ... rsion.html

unfortunately for linux there is no later version than 2.6 and it is meant for Gnome or KDE so I do not know it it can be made to install. But it would be great if you could get it to work...

A couple more for the wanted list

#3100 Post by Dromeno »

About picasa... it would be great if one of the alternative gnome photo organizers (shotwell or f-spot) were available for puppy / saluki

And, am I mistaken or is not every old puppeee app yet tailored to saluki? I miss gLabels, gPodder and ghemical...

plus... Scribus does not install properly in Saluki 22 (missing libs)

Last time I tried, bluetooth audio was possible, but still quite a hassle. When I get back to my desk on Thursday, I'll get out my bluetooth speaker and see if I can get it to work and write a tutorial.

I've packaged AdobeAir 2.6 SDK this appears to work ok, not all apps are Linux friendly, I have packaged a Picasa Image Browse this works.

hi geoffrey

a lot of the errors are output from the adobe air sdk debugger. and don't affect the working of the app.
you can turn this off by creating a 'new blank file' in /root/ called ......

Code: Select all

mm.cfg
open the file, paste this in and save

Code: Select all

SuppressDebuggerExceptionDialogs=1
this turns off the debugger

Note: if an app fails, it's worth trying it with a different version of adobe air sdk.... some prefer the newest and some the older sdks

this would be most helpful.
The config files are in /root/.config/xfce4. .config is a hidden directory so set Thunar to show hidden directories in order to be able to see it.
All i see in /root/>config/xfce4/panel are config for panel applets. i dont see one for each panel unless i am missing something.

/root/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml. Or just grab the whole /root/.config/xfce4 directory and it will have all your xfce settings.
thanks that clears things up.

It might be better to backup the entire xfce4 directory with all the settings.

It appears that as been mentioned, now you know for sure :wink:

icon bug?

#3110 Post by Dromeno »

strange: in Saluki 22, when I plug in a thumbdrive there appears an icon on the desktop. But that does not happen with an USB harddisk

For usb hdd's the icon is there when Saluki is booted with the hdd connected. But it does not show up when plugged in later.

and... it is a pity that pets and sfses which are made for lucid puppy do not always work for saluki.

for saluki I would like a working K3b (cd /dvd burner). I know it is not as compact as pburn but it looks pretty. It fits better with the fancy compiz and emerald options.
