in other words you can mount sftp/ftp sites, samba shares, bluetooth, or ssh as a filesystem like we do sfs files (pcmanfm had something similar in their tree, but I'm not sure if anything came of it) btw does anyone know why the pcmanfm resource usage is so damn high compared to rox (~3-4x higher for no apparent reason), is it caching something?

Here is an xfce pet to try. This is just the window manager and panel. I have not included thunar or the desktop.

You need dbus and dbus-glib first.

http://www.smokey01.com/jemimah/saluki/ ... 6-i486.pet
http://www.smokey01.com/jemimah/saluki/ ... 8-i486.pet

After installing xfce4-4.8.0.pet, exit to the prompt, then type

Code: Select all

xwin xfwm4

to change to the window manager.

Check the control panel for new xfce configuration programs.

If you want to enable compositing, first go into the rox options and turn off Compatibility->Override window manager control of the pinboard and panels. You might also want to disable "Pass all backdrop mouse clicks to the window manager" since xfwm4 doesn't do anything with those clicks anyway.

I was able to modify the xfce-appfinder into an improved control panel.

Downloaded and burn and made savefile to HD. I loaded the program for xfce and went to prompt. Typed by mistake xwin xfem4 and hit enter. Then the system returned normal page. Now when I try to to shutdown are reboot I have to hit the Ctrl, Alt and backspace to get them to work. It will say goodbye but it stops there. Can not get to go back to prompt are restart x-windows.

I'm working on coming up with a way to handling mounting and unmounting in xfce.

I've modified the xfce drive mounting applet, which now seems to do the job well. It reads the mtab and fstab to get informtion on the drives. I've added hooks into pup_event_frontend_d to keep the fstab up to date and modified the applet to ignore stuff mounted in /initrd.

It's working great so far.

It seems pretty plausible that saluki-005 will be ROXless.

I like the idea with xfce:)
also it would be nice to have a version without applications like it is now, so any user can add apps he wants:)

I want to thank jemimah for the help. I kept working with it until I got to prompt and did as you said. I now have xfce working great.

I want to thank Billtoo for the help with the 003 release. I was lost as to how to use it. By a PM to him and a super fast reply back he help me by telling me what to do. Many THANKS for the great help.

Saluki is running great on my old IBM r51, centrino 1.7 G CPU, 512 RAM radeon mobility graphics, 32M shared.

Xfce installed fine, installed Firefox and a few small pets (including tempicon :P ) and google-earth.sfs, libreoffice-3.4.4.sfs ( both loaded with sfs_load).

I really like the laptop tools, handy. Is there a location for the sources? I'd like to try them in Slacko.


Great job!

The source for the applet is here:
http://www.smokey01.com/jemimah/saluki/ ... -01.tar.gz

Also look at
http://www.smokey01.com/saluki/pet_pack ... saluki.pet
to see all the junk it needs.

It depends on cpufreq-utils and acpitool and xosd as well, and possibly other stuff that I forget now.

Apology to Jemimah

#436 Post by yr1945 »

Jemimah... I owe you an apology for my earlier comments on Midori 043... The problems I experienced with Midori 043 were of my own making... I was excited about the new Midori 043 version... I downloaded and installed it immediately... but, I did not use it for quite awhile... I was still experimenting with Saluki 003... I was installing (and uninstalling) numerous .pets... I was trying to set up Saluki 003 to my liking, but by doing so, I ended up installing and uninstalling many apps including Tman's "extras_0.1.pet"... Anyway, to make a long story short... after a lot of experimentation (in an effort for me to better learn "puppylinux")... I started using Midori 043 which I had installed before all my experiments... Shortly thereafter, I generated the "erroneous" problems report... Recently, however, I finally realized that I was having a lot of problems with Saluki 003... It was all my fault... All of my experimentation had made Saluki 003 very unstable... Nothing was working correctly...

Anyway, I have moved on to Saluki 004 and have installed Midori 043... NO PROBLEMS have been experienced with Midori 043 or Saluki 004... In fact, I really like the Midori browser and it suits my internet browsing requirements just fine...

I would like to add that I am now using XFCE... I really like it... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK...

Also, I promise not to make any premature comments again...

Actually it brings up a point that I have tried to address in my sfs linker - if a file exists when a package is installed, the package file will overwrite it and if it is uninstalled....breakage.

I bet that would be a fairly trivial fix to the package uninstaller...

It would be nice if unionfs or aufs could handle it... See thread in programming on handling whiteouts. It does slow down the install process if each file is checked.

Surely this is a package management issue, the same as dependencies?
Shouldn't the package manager write .bak files, to be re-installed at removal of a dupe file, or marked/flagged for non-removal if the same version?
Dependencies is still an issue, IMHO, depending if a package is installed w/o ppm, or also, I think, frugal vs full?
