Spot being a limited user can only use files in its own folder. To import bookmarks I use two rox windows to first copy them from /mnt/home/XXX/bookmarks to /root/spot/downloads. From that location they can be imported. Remember to execute a Save after importing. To back them up I export them to /root/spot/downloads. Then use rox to move them to /mnt/home/XXX/bookmarks.

Hi !
Thanks mikeslr .....will give it a try....

Hi Backi,

You might be interested in Mike Walsh's Spot2Root.pet. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 040#985040. As browsers running as Spot can only download to /root/spot, Mike's pet automates the process of moving downloaded files to a more convenient location -- I believe /root. I think this thread deals with placing an associated launcher on the task-bar. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=112892.

I haven't used the Spot2Root pet in part because, /root, itself, being in RAM when Puppies are run with Automatic Save Removed --RAM being cleared on shutdown/reboot-- I don't allow anything to remain in /root and would have to re-write the pet. And as I understand it, the pet changes permissions of the file from the limited permissions allowed to Spot to the unlimited permissions of files used by /root.

I haven't run into any permissions problem merely moving files from /root/spot/downloads, even if I've decompressed them at that location. But I know little about permissions. So rather than re-write the pet for my own use, I've noted it on my ToDo List for further examination.

peebee - I want to thank you for these packages. I have been using them for some time without issue. Keep them coming please.

For the information of anyone interested:
(a) although many of these packages are marked as "not fully tested except for LxPupSc", I have found that they work perfectly on my tahrpup system.

(b) although they are designed to run-as-spot, I prefer to run them as root and do so without issue

(c) mine is a 32bit system so I only use the 32bit version of these packages

(d) I prefer to run these programs from a directory on an external usb disk (rather than as an SFS) - so

1. I create a new directory on my external drive
2. I mount the SFS supplied by peebee and copy the 'usr' folder to my directory
3. I add an extra 'wrapper' script (run-chromium) to the root of that folder

..then I just execute the wrapper script and it all works.

What's in the wrapper?
(a) determine the current directory where the program is stored
(b) add this folder to library path
(c) exec chromium using
- the user profile flag I choose
- the pepper flash path
- the disk cache size
- the media cache size
- outdated plugins
- no sandbox

This might or might not be a good thing to do, and it might or might not work for anyone else, but it works for me. Here's the full script:

#!/bin/sh
# Chromium32 launcher

## Geoff mod
## This program could be launched run from a USB stick or from a directory somewhere on the hard disk. We need to know, so
## we can setup the correct program paths - so:
## -read current directory and store the value in variable $WHEREAMI
## -add the current directory to the system program search path

# set directory path
SOURCE="${BASH_SOURCE[0]}"
while [ -h "$SOURCE" ]; do # resolve $SOURCE until the file is no longer a symlink
DIR="$( cd -P "$( dirname "$SOURCE" )" >/dev/null && pwd )"
SOURCE="$(readlink "$SOURCE")"
[[ $SOURCE != /* ]] && SOURCE="$DIR/$SOURCE" # if $SOURCE was a relative symlink, we need to resolve it relative to the path where the symlink file was located
done
WHEREAMI="$( cd -P "$( dirname "$SOURCE" )" >/dev/null && pwd )"
cd $WHEREAMI

## Add current directory to system library path
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$WHEREAMI":$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

##
## Add the newer or extra libraries required for this program - stored in subfolders of my-libs directory
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/my-libs/nss:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/chromium:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export CHROME_VERSION_EXTRA="Puppy Linux LxPup"

##
## Geoff mod
## -change the executable path to prefix it with the value of the current directory now stored in $WHEREAMI
## -set the user data directory to a directory which we know exists (/mnt/home)
#run-as-spot exec $WHEREAMI/usr/lib/chromium/chromium --disk-cache-dir=/tmp/chrome_browser_profiles/chromium --ppapi-flash-path=$WHEREAMI/lib/chromium/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so --disk-cache-size=10000000 --media-cache-size=10000000 --allow-outdated-plugins "$@"
