Congrats !

Tried to built the core modules eina eet evas was ok but failed to build ecore and further .

Will stick with edje_[de]cc . I used to switch to b_a_w grill_light when i want to use the configuration panel to be able to read some lines .

Btw Macpup511 had no language modules installed . The lang .mo from Opera2 worked fine on Macpup5111 .

Where did you see this?

@ Karl, "to be able to read some lines" try using older style themes like smoke or night bling.

Frugal install of Macpup 528 v2 ......... no problems mounting and accessing ext4 savefiles.. FWIW.

I know that the Lighthouse Pup derivatives all recognize ext4 partitions so I assumed that it was pmount that did it.
So ... I copied the pmount exec from LHPup 503 (Tazoc's latest 32-bit LHPup which correctly identifies my /dev/sda7 partition as ext4), and executed it in Macpup528.

It ran perfectly but listed my ext4 partition as ext3!
So I'm wondering where and how does Macpup identify the partitions?

I looked in fstab (after booting into macpup 528) and all I see is:

none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=2,mode=620 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,rw 0 0

which doesn't tell me much.

I looked in LHpup /sbin and saw that Tazoc had another exec - pmount3 with a note that it was changed to recognize ext4 partitions. It ran properly on LHPup 503 but when I copied it to Macpup it only ran far enough to display the swap partition then it quit. I ran it in a terminal and it showed an error message .

sh-4.1# /pmount3
Killing old window
/pmount3: line 770: 20400 Terminated yaf-splash -font "8x16" -outline 0 -margin 4 -bg orange -text "Puppy Drive Mounter

Please wait, probing hardware..."

I'm not up to any more investigating than that so I pass this ext4 puzzle onto someone who's more tech capable than I am.

@Barburo , Macpup's pmount and the way it identifies partitions isthe same as lucid's.

I have almost finished my testing of the new updates and should have them uploaded in a few days.

runtt21 : about grill_light : /usr/share/enlightenment/data/themes already has two "readable" .edj's :
default.edj and illume.edj , which both have a grill_dark background .

runtt21 · #408 Post by **runtt21** » Thu 31 May 2012, 20:49

Wow the .062 build of e .That's Fox 3 . I haven't boot that up in a long time. I misunderstood what you were telling me,Sorry.

BTW they changed the edj file format, mp511 has the new type and the converter for the old type. If you make .edj files in a macpup before 511 they wont work in any of the ones from 511 on.....

I have converted Karl's background so it will work in 528 and made a .pet for it. Enjoy.

Thanks for the replies.
The ext4 thing was "Operator Error"!
If you have "use MUT" checked for pmount it won't recognize ext4 partitions.
Un-check it and it does see ext4.
Egg on my face.

mut is a pretty old project by Jesse :

mut2 update - fixes for Dingo 4.1alpha5
in times of kernel 2.6.25

ext4 was introduced with kernel 2.6.30 i think .

Hi Runtt

I've not been very active on forums last several months. Just wanted to say "HI" to my friends.

runtt21 · #414 Post by **runtt21** » Wed 06 Jun 2012, 20:55

Hey Omskates, Good to hear from you!!!

I decided to put Karl's background into a theme.

I should have MP-Silk-4 uploaded soon. The Macpup logo and text fade in and then out on mouse over.

runtt21 · #415 Post by **runtt21** » Thu 07 Jun 2012, 21:41

The MP528-Silk-4.pet is now in the macpup 528 folder on my macpup page. Enjoy !!

I have decided to rename one of the new themes that I have been working on "Hypnotized" in Honor of Bob Welch the late Fleetwood guitarist. The Wallpaper is by pr09studio. http://pr09studio.deviantart.com/

I should have it up tomorrow.I have three more new themes after this one.

I was wondering. An error happened while trying to get an app working in Macpup 528, and x crashed.

I wound up in the tty screen. I tried to see if I could get into a different tty session by ctrl+alt+(f2/3/4..etc;)

But it requested a password. I wasn't aware that Macpup had a root password.

I know that you guys didn't expect that people would need it. Usually your in X. But it's good to know it in case X crashes again and I need to get into weechat via command line to ask for help.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

runtt21 · #420 Post by **runtt21** » Mon 11 Jun 2012, 21:28

If X crashes you need to run "xwin enlightenment_start " at the prompt.

What where you trying to run?
