@peebee did you try to mount an iso image on your latest lxpupsc and see if a mounted disk image will shown on pcmanfm sidebar?

No - new window opens as previously - only difference is that mount is now in /media instead of /mnt - haven't checked if these temporary mounts in /media are cleared down properly on reboot if they have not been unmounted explicitly .....hopefully they will be.....

No sadly not - its unclean - empty mount directory is left in /media - used to be deleted from /mnt.....

@peebee

I wonder if someone revised the pup-volume-monitor recently. Because on Thunar (using X-Slacko Slim dated 2017), it shows like this

While on PCManFM + udisks2-volume-monitor on TazPuppy shows like this

@peebee

I think pup-volume-monitor showing mounted image on file managers only works on Thunar. I think someone must modify the pup-volume-monitor source code in order to support pcmanfm

@peebee

I accidentally picked your lxpupsc 18.05 (I know that is an old version). I tried to boot it up and mount a sample sfs file on /media. Surprisingly the mounted image appears on pcmanfm

Uses older versions of everything - pcmanfm, libfm, pup-volume-monitor and gvfs...........look in /root/.packages/woof-installed-packages for versions

@peebee I suggestion for you. Perform this experiment. I cant performed this experiment because of very limited data bandwidth that I have.

1. Just boot the latest lxpupsc in pristine state
2. replace the pup-volume-monitor with the old ones from version 18.05
3. Restart the pup-volume-monitor
4. mount an image file and make sure that mountpoint was on /media

if the mounted image file shown on pcmanfm. It means that pup-volume-monitor was altered.

Revert to pup-volume-monitor-0.1.15-1 - no change

Revert to pcmanfm-1.2.5 - no change

Revert to libfm-1.2.5 - behaviour changes

So probably due to the libfm changes between 1.2.5 and 1.3.1

I wonder what changes did they made by lxde developers to libfm? If this will figured out then the pup-volume-monitor must be updated too. Just a thought

Already available as a ydrv add-on:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 39#1028739

or you can add to ScPup64.......

p.s. only adds enough Qt5 to support the desktop......other Qt5 apps may need further Qt5 elements to be added.......if there are common ones that are needed that are not too big I could add these to the ydrv......

rtl8811au

#350 Post by sinc »

peebee,

I am very excited about this distribution!!! I have been away from Puppy for a while and I am very happy to have found this variant.

I was wondering if you could help me figure out how to get my USB wifi dongle functioning.

It needs the driver for rtl8811au, which I think is the same as rtl8812au and rtl8821au.

it looks like maybe this should be the driver.
https://github.com/zebulon2/rtl8812au-driver-5.2.9

On ubuntu I was able to use an rtl8812 dkms package that caused it to function. Any chance you can help me figure out what I need to do here?

Also, I have a bluetooth dongle and would like to connect to my Echo Dot. the packaging says the bluetooth dongle is linux compatible.
plugable.com/products/USB-BT4LE

In the appearance changer, under options, drive icons, i get an error. I figured out I dont need this bc I can change the desktop settings to show the mounted drives. However I wanted to let you know.

Thank you so much for your work here.
