Those repos are there so that you can use Ppack Package Manager to download from them. It is not safe to download from other distro repos if you dont know what you are doing and you do it intended. Lucid Puppy repo is exception.
Lucid Puppy apps almost always works...but not always straight... some libs might be missing and you need to hunt them after installation.
So...I am not sure that making those repos available straight with PPM is good idea. You can break your system slightly by using wary5 applications.
So.....use Ppack Package Manager from Menu > Setup > Setup Puppy > Ppack Package Manager > choose the repo you want to use and download.
Conky Lua hacking is work under process. Conly Lua needs some individual editing of conkyrc of chosen theme. I would like to have temp also shown as rising -descending ring color if I get advice from Jemimah or from the net. I will upload my used Conky Lua with all needed deps soon.

Thanks for this explanation. This really makes clear what I had assumed when I noticed this in earlier @Pemasu editions.
Thanks again!

2.3 Mb. The original setup without stripping was 6.5 Mb.
This conky pet has only those bins and libs included which are not in base distro. Only bluelua theme is included and inside the conky switcher. You can get the other themes from conky lua thread. Bluelua has been edited for my needs. Usually conkyrc needs tuning for your needs.

If you extract that pet and get the /root/.conky/* and copy them to same place....excecpt bluelua folder if you want to use my edited version.

The link to jemimah's conkyswitcher gets a error 404.
But the results looks pretty neat.

G'day,
I have done a Frugal then a Full install of yesterday's 5x3.2.14.1.
No problem found with the Frugal.
Again with the Full, I see the boot-up message:
"Making file system usable.........................failed" ("failed" in orange text)
but booting continues and this Full Exprimo runs well, with no mouse freezing.
Does this "failed" message mean anything?
The partition icons across the bottom of my monitor (using jwm) are in alphabetical(?) order, so I see mine as:
sda10 sda11 sda12 sda13 sda14 sda1 sda2.....sda9 sdb10 sdb11 sdb12.....
It is just a little bit inconvenient as all other Pups do the sort in alpha-numeric order (sda1 sda2 etc) so I have to concentrate on where I click now.
Otherwise very nice, so thank you.
David S.

Did a test full install on an old test box. Good news, the mouse is still working at the moment.
The bad news, there is no drive icon for the NTFS partition.Well, it wasn't there on the initial boot into the full install but I scanned the hdd with GParted and the drive icon magically appeared.
GetFlash is now working consistently now as well.
Just rebooted and no drive icon for sda1 (ntfs) only one for sda2 (ext3).

Didn't take long....... mouse just froze up.
Strangely enough..... did a hard power off ,booted into Windows then rebooted back into Exprimo and the mouse is working and the missing drive icon has decided to appear.
Naturally , md5 0e1ca8fc20d1a1c0f5e0d47b58ea5c87 and burn verified.
EDIT: After restarting about 40 minutes uptime with no problem.....may have been a momentary glitch.
EDIT again: over an hour uptime with no further problems.

Yep. The pet has changed the name while I was sleeping. Lol.The link to jemimah's conkyswitcher gets a error 404.
Now I give the url link to the folder, not to the pet straight. This is for getting more conky lua themes if you extract the pet and place them to right location.

About drive icons shown in wrong alphabetical order. I need to figure out what script is behind it. I do not know atm. If somebody has the knowledge, please share it.
It comes from /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit script:Making file system usable.........................failed" ("failed" in orange text)
I dont know atm why it fails. But I suppose that above mounting fails.STATUS=0
##############MAKE FILESYSTEM USABLE################
#echo "MAKE FILESYSTEM USABLE"
echo -n "Making the filesystem usable..." >/dev/console #making filesystem usable. need this redirection!
busybox mount -t proc none /proc ;STATUS=$((STATUS+$?))

I do use modified /sbin/probepart and modified /usr/sbin/pmount. Other filesystem - partition - probing files are from woof.
Could you copy from other Puppy, for example Racy or Wary the /sbin/probepart file and test if it is behind the wrong alphabetical order.
I have only 7 partitions so I cant test the order. And I wont start to repartition my filesystem...I have bad experience with moving my stuff temporarily to other location. I dont want to expose myself to that again.

Give me a few minutes to get back to the other computer and I'll copy the file from Wary...... I don't mess with Racy....

Nope. It's incorrect in Saluki as well but since there's no drive icons on the desktop it's not as obvious.pemasu wrote:Thanks. The /sbin/probepart has modifications for better dvd movie etc udf recognition in 3.2.X kernels. But it seems to mess with more than 10 partition alphabetical order. I wonder how the Saluki behaves with more than 10 partition. Is the recognition okay in Saluki-019 ?
