Hi. MUT 0.0.6 in Puppy 1.0.5 brings an error msg, when no floppy is in a system:

Error: image "::img::img(fd0)" dowsn't exist

Doesn't matter which button you choose.. just nothing happens than..
I have a compaq ipaq pc without any floppy

For me, MUT is unsable here, to please leave the other util in!!

PS

can you disable floppy in the Bios?
I have a Gericom-notebook without floppy, no problem for MUT.

Odd, I don't have a floppy on my Mini-ITX and MUT has never given me an error.

I did not have this problem, on laptop with no floppy drive.

Hi. the ipaq doesn't have an option to disable floppy. It gas a multibay slot,
where one can insert multibay drives. There are floppies, cd-roms, dvd, cd-rw and dvd/cd-rw drives available... I have a cd-rom drive in it.

I have the problem mentioned above, the same message from MUT (Puppy 1.05 on hdd, ECS G320 laptop, no floppy in it

). The other mounter works fine... showing the non-existing floppy

I need this utility desperately (I use a lot of USB devices). Is there any suggestion to re-live MUT in this case? I am newbie, so if You do it, do slowly...

That has been happening on the Via ITX from version 1.04 - 1.05. Will check the BIOS later (but that board has no floppy port). Just a while ago, MUT would not load my floppy in my Celeron 400 machine. In both situations, Mount/Unmount saved the day

I noticed this happening on my new NTA thin client with 1.0.5. I discoved it trying to connect a video ipod to the beastie. Mount/umount work fine but I miss the MUT. If it's written in TCL perhap I can give a go at correcting this. I got paid for doing TCL/TK programming for about 3 years so I have some experience. Anyone know where to get the source?

i jsut rebuilt my old pc to clean it out and figure out how it worked and such. I put everything bakck together with a nice clean fan and i moved teh cd drive down a bay so tht the ide cable didn't have to travel is far, but after reconnecting everything, (removed to redundan tscrews making it hard to take the front cover off and came out with an unknown one)

Now the floppy isn't recognized by the bios (gives a hardware config error) and the floppy starts spinning faster and faster, boots fine but it is kind of unnerving. I disconnected the floppy and turned it off in the bios but i would really like to know what i did to make this happen

I think you turned the floppycable.

I the LED is always lightning, switch the cable.

Cerberus · #12 Post by **Cerberus** » Tue 01 Nov 2005, 18:54

but i cant switch the cable, it is one way (it has a closed box in hte cable so that it can only fit in one way)

but the LED is always on like you said

#13 Post by MU » Tue 01 Nov 2005, 18:56

but on the mainboard-side?

Cerberus · #14 Post by **Cerberus** » Tue 01 Nov 2005, 19:04

lol, i'm not exactly sure what that means

but i have tried putting it in the other way, it does not fit as the closed pin space would try to get a pi inseretd into it =eihter doesn't go in or bent pin

i don't want the latter obviously

Duh! I figured it was a wrapped or "compiled" and was hunting the web for it. Anyway, I have a quickie fix for the problem. In the mut.tcl source, go to the section towards the bottom of the file that loads the images. In my version, the first two devices are for a 3 inch floppy and a 5 inch. Change the one you want to fd0 like this and save it.

Code: Select all

image create photo ::img::img(fd0)     -file "$mut/icon/fd3.ppm"

Mut should now run.

Hi. I changed the code and it works!! Great..

I don't know what it does... but it works...

Thanks, PS

Is this a bug.. and now a code change, that could go into MUT for 1.0.6 Puppy?

Jesse Liley is the developer and official maintainer for MUT, so it should come through him.
Would you mind sending him a p.m.?

Forum name: Jesse

BarryK · #19 Post by **BarryK** » Thu 03 Nov 2005, 01:03

I might as well do it:

Code: Select all

## Load Images for display:
image create photo ::img::img(fd0)     -file "$mut/icon/fd3.ppm"
#image create photo ::img::img(fd5)     -file "$mut/icon/fd5.ppm"

...should I comment out the fd5 line?
(who still has a 5inch floppy drive?)

Okay, I have sent a p.m. to Jesse.
