Fatdog64-600 Final and 601 (July 2012)
Since you use grub, do you ever get to see the message of initrd being loaded? If not, then like rcrsn51 said it's probably because of your laptop doesn't support big initrd.barburo wrote:but FD601 just hangs - it finds and identifies the vmlinuz file, but just hangs on initrd..
There isn't one yet, but I'll make one for the seamonkey iso.rcrsn51 wrote:I don't know if there is a small-initrd release for 601.
EDIT: 601-small-initrd is now available in the mirrors:

I haven't tried that. Did you use the wxWidgets from the package repo, or did you roll up your own?smokey01 wrote:Has anyone managed to compile the latest Filezilla for Fatdog-601?
It needs xwWidgets to be installed. So when I try to compile that I get more problems.

I then tried the ones in the repo but had no luck either. When compiling filezilla during the ./configure process the xwwidgets could not be found after both pets were installed.
CatDude was working on it too so I'm not sure what progress he has made.
I really like filezilla as it lets you copy between directories on websites, something gFTP can't do.

Taskbar icons
Fatdog 600 works great for me. There is just one weird problem I've found. The taskbar entries for open windows don't show the icons for each application; they all look the same. Screenshot attached.
Does anyone else have this behavior? Does anyone know how to solve it? I've seen the same thing on two PCs with every version of Fatdog I've tried, which goes back to 500.
Thanks.

proverbial DVB
Hi J & K,
Whilst testing DVB with my old twinhan I found the file "dvb-usb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw" was missing. I'd just like to know was it left out / old /not required etc.
FYI I found the file in Fatdog 511 and it works fine.

I finally tested this using an ext3 hard drive partition. I copied memdisk out of FD600 from /usr/share/syslinux and booted with legacy GRUB. It worked fine.rcrsn51 wrote:I wonder if memdisk is less demanding. I believe that this is a fairly new feature in syslinux.
[Edit] For people using the GRUB2 bootable flash drive method, this should work:
Code: Select all
menuentry "Fatdog ISO" {
loopback loop /Fatdog64-601-Firefox.iso
linux (loop)/vmlinuz
initrd (loop)/initrd
}
Transmission
Fatdog is working flawlessly with the exception of Firefox occasionally shutting down on its own.
Wondering if there is an up-dated transmission compatible with the over-sized dog?

Ah, I see. That's because FileZilla requires that wxWidgets is compiled with unicode, the one in the repo isn't.smokey01 wrote:I then tried the ones in the repo but had no luck either.

Not sure. Linux-firmware doesn't seem to have a copy of that file anymore. Does your DVB work without it? If not, I'll try to find that in my old copy of 511, or better yet, send me that file and I'll put it in. If you do, tell me which directory I need to put it in, too.

Yes, because when it loads stuff to memory it can assure that they are all contiguous. Glad to see it work.rcrsn51 wrote:I wonder if memdisk is less demanding. I believe that this is a fairly new feature in syslinux.

Jamesbond,
CatDude managed to get FileZilla 3.5.2 working. It is the previous version and one that plinej had compiled. It needed some work but it works fine.
It can be found here:

If I get some time tomorrow I might take a look. Many torrent sites now only offer magnet links which don't work in older transmission versions. Also you need to tweak seamonkey/firefox settings, I wrote something about it somewherejamesbond wrote:Not that I know of, still waiting for volunteer ...Fishy wrote:Wondering if there is an up-dated transmission compatible with the over-sized dog?

Re Transmission
I tried to make a pup that would work but my skills only are to the level of screwing up the pup.

Anyways .. here it is:
Transmission
transmission-2.60-x86_64.pet 752k .. (I love this xz compression!)
Note, 2.60 is the last version that compiles against gtk+-2.0 (4th July, 2012, so still recent). I guess these developers are going to force us into gtk 3 one day eh?
REQUIRES:
libevent
libevent-2.0.19-stable-x86_64.pet 161k
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sundries
dev, doc and nls are in this folder
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Appendix
You will likely need to set up Firefox or Seamonkey to recognise the magnet protocol as many links to torrents are now magnet links. Ordinary .torrent files are unaffected by this procedure.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fi ... ssociationIn about:config add the following as a new bool:
network.protocol-handler.expose.magnet
Set it's initial value to false.
When you try a magnet link Firefox/Seamonkey will pop up a box asking you what program you want to open the link with. Navigate with the file selector to /usr/bin/transmission-gtk then click open. Transmission will open where you can set your download folder and start downloading the torrent. Tested working.

01micko, Thanks for stepping up and provided the transmission. I'll get it in to the repo.
Q5Sys, I haven't tested it yet, lotsa stuff to take care these days I'll do that as soon as I can.
What we can do about this:
- fix the sandbox script so that it automatically unmounts stuff when it is killed, or
- create a script to do the necessary cleanup in case the sandbox is accidentally killed.
cheers!

Technically speaking, you exit the sandbox as soon as you close the terminal window., so there is no harm there. The problem is that when the sandbox starts up, it performs a few mounts (that's all it does, actually), and if you just close the terminal these mounts remain (poor script, I know) --- and these mounts prevent future sandbox to start until the system is rebooted.smokey01 wrote:When playing in the sandbox and accidentally closing the terminal window without typing exit, is there another way to exit the sandbox without rebooting?
