Here is a modded version of desktop-drive-icons-0.0.5 for use when openbox is the window manager

It hides the d-d-i application from the tray

The change is in an added pinstall.sh

The requirement for the change and the solution was identified by SFR.

It has been tested on LxPup13.10 which uses openbox - and p-v-m.

Cheers

Does it work on Lucid..I believe that was a problem with earlier versions but interested in the current situation.

[SOLVED]

Hi all

With the new Slacko6Beta (Slacko5.9.3) comes the new option of using a save directory when frugally installing as well as the traditional savefile from previous puppies.

p-v-m-0.1.15 seems to have a bit of a problem with this new facility/method of working in that accessing the partition that contains the frugal install displays the save directory contents rather than the partition contents.

The 2 screenies illustrate the problem - both created on Slacko5.9.3 but the first has a traditional savefile, the second the new save directory. In both cases the frugal install is on sdb2 and the sdb2 icon in desktop_drive_icons has been clicked.

Can anybody identify the change needed to p-v-m to operate in this new environment please?

Thanks

I have Lucid with the save folder and these drive icons but have not tried the 2 at the same time. (there is a problem with these icons and a full install insofar as it leaves a defunt icon for the system partition though the 'not shutting down problem' was solved related to that) If I get any clues i will post them but I suspect they are not handling the double output from mount .

By the way you can have much better icons than the standard ones by creating your own with a specific name... I will pop that info up when I get chance as have to go out today.

Another problem to report with p-v-m and Slacko6Beta....

Tested on a manual frugal install of Slacko5.9.3 with a "traditional" savefile

Just p-v-m and desktop_drive_icons loaded

A usb stick formatted with 2 partitions ext2 format - both partitions are seen and displayed

A usb stick formatted with partition1=vfat and partition2=f2fs then only partition1 is displayed - pmount shows that both partitions are present

akash_rawal are you there?? Crying or Very sad

Thanks
