I've added a very simple MD5sum calculator to the right click menu. It allows for multiple files and copy and paste. See the 3rd post on the first page to download.

Ironically, I did the same thing a few minutes before I read this post! After some digging around in thunar config files I found the fix. Open thunar and do <ctrl>m, and the menu bar is back.

Carolina System Info

#25 Post by rg66 »

Carolina System Info

This is a system information tool from Porteus v2 OS modified to work in Carolina/Lina-lite. A fairly complete system overview with the ability to save the current file displayed or do a full system dump.

Edit: Fixed system dump not working

Thanks a lot, rg66. I'm running Lucid Puppy 5.28 just now, so I downloaded and installed
the Carolina System Info under that puppy.
Seems to work fine.

Thanks Sheldon, but I can't take much credit because it's not my script. I'm curious to know though if the Carolina tab worked under a different puppy, specifically the version and packages elements. I couldn't get the "boot disk" element to work no matter what I tried.

Thanks Sheldon, looks like it will work in more puppies than just lina. I might have another go at "Boot Disk" but after some hours on the net for a solution, I don't think it will happen.

Here's an app by Geoffrey and myself to search the boot partition and list the save files so you can back one up, It gives a choice of save directory and appends the date to the end.

Edit: Added multiple file selection and save confirmation splash screen. Fixed canceling at "choose directory" window saves to root.

Edit2: Allows saves to the current directory or choose a location and a pulsating progress bar has been added.

Edit3: Fixed typo in .desktop file. Changed to version 1.0.1

Yet another app by Geoffrey and myself. UnPak-0.1, extract different types of packages all from one icon in the right click menu with the choice of current directory or choose a directory. Package types include: .deb, .pet, .rpm, .sfs, .pkg.tar.xz (arch), and .xzm (porteus).

The method of extracting rpm package is to use 'exploderpm'
It gives more consistent results as BarryK found out.
Posted on 20 Jun 2011, 9:52 by BarryK
rpm mime handling
I created a RPM icon for ROX-Filer. This is in Woof, so will be present regardless of what ROX package Puppy is built with.

I have changed /usr/local/bin/pupzip so that it uses 'exploderpm' instead of 'rpm2cpio'. Hopefully this will expand all RPMs, not just those from Mageia.

Note that pupzip is not handling RPMs in the most efficient manner, as exploderpm is being used to expand the RPM and convert to a .tar file, then open in Xarchive (or Xarchiver). So, there is an intermediary expansion in /tmp.

X-Con-0.1

#35 Post by rg66 »

X-Con is a combination of UnPak and a converter script. The end result is a right click app that lets you extract or convert packages.

Package types include: .deb, .pet, .rpm, .sfs, .pkg.tar.xz (arch), .xzm (porteus), .lzm (slax), and .txz (slackware). All supported package types can be converted to .pet or .sfs

Edit: More bug fixes. Changes to version 1.0.2

Edit2: Cleaned up the code
