It works, but it's a little awkward. Works fine from the Pmount, but doesn't always unmount using the file manager. Still cool that it doesn't go crazy like before.

You could try the latest version http://smokey01.com/carolina/pet_packag ... 0.1.10.pet , I've had no problems with mounting or unmounting usb drives, all appears to work fine from the file manager, the only time I've had a problem with unmounting is that I had neglected to close a file that's in use.

gtkdialog package

In saluki there is gtkdialog3 and gtkdialog4, gtkdialog is a symlink to gtkdialog4, that's the way it has alway's been, it's the same with Carolina,
I just tried installing your gtkdialog-exprimo-0.8.2.pet, this overwrites and removes the symlink leaving the older gtkdialog4 and adding your version as gtkdialog, so now either of two different versions of gtkdialog4 are called depending on how the script is written, my single file update replaces the existing gtkdialog4 leaving the symlink intact. I really don't see what difference it makes whether the symlink is to one or the other, the outcome is the same.

saluki does not contain any of the other files, only the gtkdialog4 binary located in /usr/sbin
this only replaces that binary, gtkdialog the symlink should already exist. - (90.61 KiB) Downloaded 610 times

I don't know why it didn't unmount, it may have been a touchpad problem or probably it did unmount and I didn't notice.Geoffrey wrote:mini-jaguar,mini-jaguar wrote:Since I've been writing about this problem for quite a while, I finally tested this.Geoffrey wrote: http://saluki-linux.com/Forum/viewtopic ... 1679#p1679

In any case, the system originally flashed messages that it's o.k. to remove the drive, or else it flashed menacing warnings. With the fix it just blanks the window of any icons, which means it's unmounted, not as obvious.
Re: can't eject flash drive
The messages were disabled, this was part of the problem with the unmounting of usb drives.mini-jaguar wrote:I don't know why it didn't unmount, it may have been a touchpad problem or probably it did unmount and I didn't notice.Geoffrey wrote:mini-jaguar,mini-jaguar wrote:Since I've been writing about this problem for quite a while, I finally tested this.

I've compiled and replaced the pup-volume-monitor in Saluki/Carolina with pup-volume-monitor-0.1.8, looks a lot tidier now without all the loops icons, though now if I unmount any drive, I don't get the safe to remove message, this is handy to have, though it does really only need to show this message on removal of such devices as CD and USB.
If this could be re-enabled just for removable devices it would be appreciated, keep up the good work.
thanks for all your effort.
There is a config file at /etc/xdg/pup-volume-monitor/main.conf. To restore the original behavior simply restore the original main.conf from saluki 23. But it will also restore unmounting bug for removable drives at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 409#650409 (and I too have the same problem.)
Thunar also has notification support. You enable it by configuring with option --enable-notifications to the configure script. Maybe try that too.

Rox file manager
I got the rox-filer pet from the Saluki repository. It shows up in the menu and works fine. I would like to make it the default file manager, but if I do this via the control panel/XFCE preferred applications/utilities, then the desktop drive/partition icons don't work anymore. "File doesn't exist or I can't access it." Is there a reasonably easy way to fix this? Thanks.

exo-open determines the default apps, you might be able to do something with it, running exo-open in the terminal shows the options.
Code: Select all
# exo-open
Usage: exo-open [URLs...]
exo-open --launch TYPE [PARAMETERs...]
-?, --help Print this help message and exit
-V, --version Print version information and exit
--launch TYPE [PARAMETERs...] Launch the preferred application of
TYPE with the optional PARAMETERs, where
TYPE is one of the following values.
--working-directory DIRECTORY Default working directory for applications
when using the --launch option.
The following TYPEs are supported for the --launch command:
WebBrowser - The preferred Web Browser.
MailReader - The preferred Mail Reader.
FileManager - The preferred File Manager.
TerminalEmulator - The preferred Terminal Emulator.
If you don't specify the --launch option, exo-open will open all specified
URLs with their preferred URL handlers. Else, if you specify the --launch
option, you can select which preferred application you want to run, and
pass additional parameters to the application (i.e. for TerminalEmulator
you can pass the command line that should be run in the terminal).

I tried that Super Tux Kart .sfs in the Saluki repository (not the latest version of this, but the only one for Saluki), works, but it's extremely slow.
Is there any way to accelerate this or is my computer too slow?
I have the latest version of this on my Windows partition and it's much faster, although it also slows down, but only a little (the Saluki version is super slow) and sometimes crashes.

Minimum install or default packages database?
Loving the Saluki install, what a joy! I am guessing there is a very minimal Saluki out there for download, I would love to try it if anyone knows a link. Is there a database or spreadsheet that lists all the packages that are in Saluki 23 ? then I would have a guide to uninstalling down to minimum... thanks so much!

I don't think there is a Saluki minimal. You can make one by using the custom builder or dl the Saluki remaster pet rom the repo.
Control panel > software > remove built in packages, shows whats built in or open thunar > view >show hidden files, then go to /root/.packages
There's a built in files folder with all the files from "remove built in packages", an adrive-installed-packages list and a user-installed-packages list.

Rather than going page by page of this thread, I would like to find out what I am doing wrong trying to get compiz to work with Saluki.
I downloaded compiz-helper and according to it, I meet ALL the requirements.
But when I exit to prompt and type in "xwin dummy" I get a task bar, the Menu button, and a black screen. All the applications work as if I have a working x screen though.
I know xfce is the default desktop manager. But I really want the drive icons or at least a background rather than a blank black screen.
Also, the application windows that show seem to be in a fixed location as they seem to be unmovable. And all of the compiz effects just are not there.
I have the compiz SFS file loaded also and have installed the true NVIDIA driver also.
Maybe I am just dumb.
A step by step as to what I need to do to get this working would be great!

to boot saluki without Adrive... do a Frugal install as follows...
download saluki-023 iso...
download a browser, eg, the Firefox .pet (.pets are puppylinux applications)... so you can immediately intall the Firefox .pet after saluki is booted and access more apps...
saluki .pets (apps) are located at the following website: http://smokey01.com/saluki/... many .pets for other puppylinux distros will also work for saluki... i should note that .pets are also located in the Puppy Package Manager which can be located in the Menu at bottom left under System... this may be better for installing .pets... i just happen to have a folder of the .pets that i use...
create a new folder (directory) and name it saluki...
from the downloaded saluki iso,copy following files into new saluki folder... initrd.gz, vmlinuz, puppy saluki 023.sfs and zdrv luki 023 sfs...
use Grub4Dos bootloader to install boot capability for new saluki folder (which is now an OS), as well as all other Operating Systems on computer...
once saluki is booted, there will be no apps since the Adrive contains all the apps...
therefore, as indicated above, install Firefox .pet and other apps you may want to use...
Having explained the above process... and before attempting it... perhaps a better way to get a minimal OS is to use the Saluki Custom Builder which can be found in the Menu at lower left under System... just click on it and follow the directions...
i guess it's all a matter of preference... eg, i use so few apps i like using saluki without the Adrive...
good luck...

Sounds as if it's not loading xfce correctly, you shouldn't have to type anything other that xwin at the prompt, try typing " xwin startxfce4 ".8-bit wrote:Rather than going page by page of this thread, I would like to find out what I am doing wrong trying to get compiz to work with Saluki.

I have had that happen with no window borders, just go to control panel and restart compiz, that should fix it.
