Hello, Time for an update! I've got a few things up and working nicely. Personally I'd consider this version to be just a testing evaluation edition, but the interface should be quite useable. The attached file contains the binary executable 'mut_gui', plus a directory containing the icons that get ...

I may go back and try out the freebsd drive some more just to see why I can't read the "home" folder...I don't know why it can read the /mnt/sdb13 and sdb15 but not 14...perhaps Jesse could give comment on that if possible? From what I recall about FreeBsd, it is pretty pedantic about mul...

Hi jesse well it work for people with small screens? like a scrollbar? They guys really like your scrollbar :). ... Hi ttuuxx, Attached is a screenshot of the IconView and menu I mentioned, there is a tab at the top for icon view, and list view. Yes I hope this gui will be usable on a screen of any...

How do I mount this thing? Any one have any ideas? I just want to read it if possible, then blank it out and use it as a flash drive... Hi steve_s, If you want to know which lines in the dmesg output are from your usb dongle, reboot your computer without it inserted, then in a console window type '...

Yay! I've been able to get past some tricky aspects of the GTK+, the biggest issue I had was with having used some code from a tutorial example that didn't actually work. Well to be fair it all seemed very reasonable but didn't work as expected. Anyway I now seem to have popup menus working and hope...

Hi Jesse I've been updating 2.14.1R and it uses MUT, the forum members have a couple of small issues with it, and I was wondering if maybe you could look at the issues? Quote"6. MUT still returns a messy screen if you have volume labels. As shown in previous messages of mine. 7. MUT still does...

Oh, come on, I've seen you guys/gals do amazing things with computers...has no one hacked one of those SafeNet usb things? We gotta solf the mystery! 8) Perhaps you could use the command line tool 'dd' to copy any block data from the device to a file on your hard disk then examine it piece by piece...

Hi Puppians, Thanks for the feedback, I've been trying to get my head around some of the things that is going on with the GTK+ library, it seems that there is a buggy component in the GTK+ library, the GtkIconView in conjunction with a GtkTreeStore, which would have made it very easy for me to make ...

Hello, I've got some time up my sleeves at the moment, and I thought I'd have a go at building a GTK+ GUI for mut2. Here is a twigs and sticks in a box version, it doesn't do very much at the moment. I'm posting this here for some feedback, as I'm not sure what the finished application should look l...

alpha 7/8 has ext4 builtin to the kernel, not as a module. Ditto for the 2.6.29.3 kernel that I have just compiled and will be in alpha9. Jesse, see my post about static compiling: http://puppylinux.com/blog/?viewDetailed=00754 Hi Barry, um, presumably you want the warning to go away? try changing ...

I've recently installed upup a8 on my laptop that was previously running crunchbang linux. I had 2 ext4 partitions (root and home) but noticed that they were incorrectly detected as ext3 during puppy linux install so I've formatted the root partition as ext3 and everything went just fine. The only ...

Hi amigo, Gosh yes, blkid does do more. But sometimes doing less is better, like for in the initrd/init script, and other shell scripts that just need to know a filesystem type to perform a mount. blkid output will always need some processing if its to be used by a script, where guess_fstype output ...

jesse i ran your new guess_fstype (from the bin+src tarball) against an ext4 ptn created with arch linux, and it returns "unknown" anything further i can do ? paul Hi Paul, You have to be running as root user for the guess_fstype application to be able to access hard disks (block devices)...

Hi, I had a look into this error: EXT4-fs: sdb1: Filesystem with huge files cannot be mounted read-write without CONFIG_LBD Large file size enabled file system can only be mount if kernel is build with CONFIG_LBD looks like on a 32bit system, if CONFIG_LBD is not enabled when compiling kernel, ext4 ...

Hi Jim1911, You might want to ask the kernel to load the ext4 filesystem module into the kernel, so that it can then mount ext4 filesystems. The command for this is probably: modprobe ext4 But it might be something different, do a ls of /lib/modules/2.6.29.2/kernel/fs/ext4/*.ko and that will list th...

Hi Jim1911, Thats great to hear, thanks for your help testing. Ok so guess_fstype is now good to go for ext4, but now it is something else that is not correctly setup. When PMount does the action of asking the kernel to mount the ext4 partition it would run this command: mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt...

Hi Jim1911, The .tar file is simply a container for linux files and directories. When you extracted the .tar file you will have a new directory containing the new guess_fstype executable file. So you just need to run the new program asking it about your ext4 partition. So type in something like this...

Barry asked me to have a look at getting guess_fstype to identify ext4 partitions with the tag 'ext4' rather than what it did previously and incorrectly with 'ext3'. I have had a quick look and I believe I've made the right changes to make the distinction correctly. For those interested in using ext...

Hi, this sounds like the bug that was in some of the developmental versions of puppy. What version of Puppy are you having this problem with?
Jesse

I didn't realize that I'm one of the younger members, just turned 32 in Feb. I had thought the ages were more like 11-35, how enlightening to learn the truth.
