Jamesbond,
CatDude managed to get FileZilla 3.5.2 working. It is the previous version and one that plinej had compiled. It needed some work but it works fine.
It can be found here:

If I get some time tomorrow I might take a look. Many torrent sites now only offer magnet links which don't work in older transmission versions. Also you need to tweak seamonkey/firefox settings, I wrote something about it somewhere

Anyways .. here it is:
Transmission
transmission-2.60-x86_64.pet 752k .. (I love this xz compression!)
Note, 2.60 is the last version that compiles against gtk+-2.0 (4th July, 2012, so still recent). I guess these developers are going to force us into gtk 3 one day eh?
REQUIRES:
libevent
libevent-2.0.19-stable-x86_64.pet 161k
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sundries
dev, doc and nls are in this folder
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Appendix
You will likely need to set up Firefox or Seamonkey to recognise the magnet protocol as many links to torrents are now magnet links. Ordinary .torrent files are unaffected by this procedure. | Quote: | In about:config add the following as a new bool:
network.protocol-handler.expose.magnet
Set it's initial value to false. |
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox_Tweaks#Adding_magnet_protocol_association
When you try a magnet link Firefox/Seamonkey will pop up a box asking you what program you want to open the link with. Navigate with the file selector to /usr/bin/transmission-gtk then click open. Transmission will open where you can set your download folder and start downloading the torrent. Tested working.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have fun!

i posted truecrypt 7.1a [url=murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=643842#643842]here[/url]
it 'should' work in FatDog. Anyone want to test for me as im away from my house where my fatdog machine is.
make sure to turn off kernel crypto services in TC before trying to mount something.

When playing in the sandbox and accidentally closing the terminal window without typing exit, is there another way to exit the sandbox without rebooting?

Here is Password Gorilla. It's a password database, not too bad.

01micko, Thanks for stepping up and provided the transmission. I'll get it in to the repo.
Q5Sys, I haven't tested it yet, lotsa stuff to take care these days I'll do that as soon as I can.

Technically speaking, you exit the sandbox as soon as you close the terminal window., so there is no harm there. The problem is that when the sandbox starts up, it performs a few mounts (that's all it does, actually), and if you just close the terminal these mounts remain (poor script, I know) --- and these mounts prevent future sandbox to start until the system is rebooted.
What we can do about this:
- fix the sandbox script so that it automatically unmounts stuff when it is killed, or
- create a script to do the necessary cleanup in case the sandbox is accidentally killed.
cheers!

Fatdog package manager |
|
Jamesbond is there a way to install PET packages locally through the FD package manager rather than downloading them.
The reason I ask is I want to be able to test PET packages which includes dependencies.
What I would like to see is the main local package is installed but then knows to go looking on a repo to find the missing packages as defined in the main PET package.
I have defined two additional packages in the main PET as "+package1,+package2". The problem is I dont know if I have done it properly. The other two packages are in the repo but my main package is not.
I'm trying to find a way of testing packages without wasting your time.
Maybe there needs to be an enhancement to the already great FDPM to be able to install local packages. If it already exist I haven't been able to work it out.

jamesbond, I have resurrected your folder encryption application for Fatdog64-600.
http://www.smokey01.com/software/Fatdog64-600/EncryptFolder-FD64-1.0.pet
This is a neat little Rox app that will let you encrypt folders rather than just files.
Simply right click on a folder and you will be given the option to encrypt it, then close it.
You can remove the encryption if you like.
You can also change the password.
Enjoy

Finally got hold of a 64bit laptop to play with (borrowed)
Downloaded FD64-601-sm and burnt to a RW-dvd using FD64-521 that I had on a USB stick.
Read all of the post’s regarding 601 and am going to read the FAQ’s etc.
Hopefully when I reboot - all will be well.
Thanks to all involved in providing what I am sure will be another Great Puppy.
Very best regards - Ray
