Came in handy for me too for recovering data of the drive from my Dad's 17" Macbook, which had fallen victim to him accidentally knocking over his pint (while moving it to prevent some one else knocking it over). Put the drive in a Zalman enclosure and his new Macbook could only see it from the boot menu (and the machine kernel paniced when we tried booting from it). In OSX itself we couldn't see it.01micko wrote:BTW, hfs-tools (utils, or whatever it is) is not included but is available from PPM (slackware) and it does allow mounting rw of mac hfs and hfs+ filesystems. Tested on a late model macbook-air in ThinSlacko a while back. This enables the possibility of data recovery in macs, and I think already it helped out one forum member.
Out of curiosity, tried plugging it into the PC with Puppy running and looking at it in Gparted, which mentioned needing hfsutils. After downloading hfsutils and hfsprogs from PPM and figuring out how to mount the drive and bring up the directory viewer I was able to burn the files onto a couple of DVDs with Pburn.

smbclient using hostname has never worked for me from puppy; maybe it's my network. It always looks for some obscure network in the US, IP of 199.101.28.130rcrsn51 wrote:@01micko: To test this, runDoes this generate the spnego error?Code: Select all

In the Network rox app there is a failure to build the rox app for the win7/8 shares. This is because smbclient share list building fails. This would also be true of pnethood I believe (IIRC it uses smbclient to build the share list).
The rox app then uses nmblookup to get the IP of the share and mounts it with cifs.

Thanks.
There was a previous report of success with Win8 shares. But it was not using authentication, so the user never saw your situation.
I suspect that shinobar has the opposite problem. Smbclient works for him, but the mount command is failing because of the new kernel.
[Edit] OTOH, in my tests, the problem with cifs.ko results in Error 22, not Error 5.

Re: slacko-5.6 βeta
Looking at your screen grabs, I think that's a typo for 32GB. I actually have a 32MB USB stick, even has a write protect switch on the end! Works with everything I have with a USB port.Billtoo wrote:32 mb flash drive

@Shinobar and anyone doing a share access to a SAMBA/Windows server(s).
The old mount command seems to have been replaced n latest kernel systems. I had to change mount to mount.cifs. The new command, also needed the "sec=ntlm" option for increased success.. My command use now works on both early Windows and latest.
ExampleOf course, on most networks, the 192.168.1.3 could be changed to the actual Hostname of the PC shared-from.

Thanks GC and shinobar. I'll update the Network rox-app, but, does anyone know if it borks with older kernels? (say 3.2 or 3.4 series). If so, will need to test what kernel is running.

Initial testing of 5.5.71 (the PAE version) on my Pentium D machine has been promising so far. Upgraded Slacko 5.5 save seemingly without any problems. Also successfully created new 512MB ext4 save on NTFS-formatted hard drive, worked fine on first boot.
Still too early to say for sure what the wireless perfomance with my troublesome Netgear WN111v2 USB dongle is like but it seems to work fine on Upup Raring 3.9.9.1 - on that when the connection does drop Pwireless manages to re-establish it straight away.
HomeBank, which I have started using recently, is up to v4.5 - the website is http://homebank.free.fr/
I know you've expressed reluctance to include the newest version of Gnumeric but Upup Raring (IIRC) has version 1.12.1 and the ISO didn't seem much bigger. Latest version is 1.12.4 which has just come out.
Pidgin 2.10.7 on PPM doesn't check for dependancies but 2.10.6 does. After updating the package lists the one on pet_packages-slacko14 shows up and that installs and runs fine.

Ha! Sure.. but it's my most powerful.. anyway, new mobo is up and running .. and I can't believe how cool it runs for AMD, (same cpu as old mobo). While I was at it I upgraded the RAM from 2 to 4 GB.

As for gnumeric.. well, it does need gtk3, a substantial increase in iso size. I'm not going to do it. The version we have does the job, near as well as calc (oo or libre) for about 3 M in the iso. Gtk+3 will add about another 10M, not worth it in an official puppy for 1 program.
As for pidgin, yes it's a known issue that programs in the patches repo don't resolve dependencies, but if (as you found) install the original first, then update all is well. Not perfect I agree, I'll have a think about that one (could affect a couple of other programs too).

Planned obsolescence at its finest...01micko wrote:My motherboard decided to give up (3yr warranty, 3 yr and 2 mo since purchase!)[...]
Ok, a couple of things for you to consider:
1. Yeah, I know you don't particularly like the subject of "spaces in filenames", but...
It's an old issue. While mounting (via mouse left-click) an .?fs or .iso image and its path/name contains spaces or even ' (apostrophe) and/or the file extension is in upper case, we're getting "Failed mounting or unmounting." error.
It maybe doesn't really matter if it comes for .sfs, .2fs, etc., but in case of .iso it was a frequent problem for me.
Three small mods, one in /bin/mount, line 43:
Code: Select all
mount-FULL -n "${@}" # SFR: double quotes
Code: Select all
MntPt='/mnt/'"`echo "$imgFile" |sed "s#^\.##g" |sed "s#/#+#g" | tr ' ' '_'`" # SFR, added 'tr'
Code: Select all
Ext=`echo "$imgFile" |sed 's/^.*\.//'` # get file type from extention
Ext="`echo $Ext | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`" # SFR: extension to lowercase (If Bash >= 4 it could be just Ext=${Ext,,} )
Modified scripts attached.
2. Quite old issue as well, but I haven't taken care of it on my own ('petget' is quite complex app).
When a user is installing a .pet (locally, offline) and (s)he begin to install another one, whereas the previous installation haven't completed yet (incl. "Please wait, updating help page and menu" part), strange things may happen, e.g. JWM becomes broken - lack of bottom panel, broken or lack of right-click menu, corrupted theme and stuff like that. Also observed with Openbox once.
I think the easiest way to prevent such behavior could be some kind of message that "previous installation isn't completed yet" & exit...
Anyway, like I said, these are just to consider.
Greetings!

It's not that I don't like spaces in filenames, that's unavoidable with music, dvds etc, but shell scripts; I flat refuse to acknowledge that a shell script can be named with a space! Call me old school if you like but if some sort of distinction between words is needed then there is nothing wrong with _ or - chars .SFR wrote:1.

Not sure if there are some caveats, but I'm running Slacko-5.5 with these mods from a few months now and haven't encountered any problems.Code: Select all

I'll add the improved mount script and suggest to BK.
On the subject, I had PBurn just quit on me without visible error trying to burn my win7 image... ha! S P A C E S .
Good point about petget, and I did see the bad wm behaviour a long time ago, but didn't narrow down what caused it, as it didn't worry me too much because it was a disposable save file. I will suggest to BK to test if there is a pid before running from a click and if so maybe splash a small wait message.SFR wrote:2.

Thanks Mick!
As for "JWM" issue, I only recently assoiciated this with 'petget', while installing lots of .pets from a USB stick - I guess it happened because it was slower than from HDD, so there was enough time for things to break.
_______________
@Zigbert: small problem with pmount.
"Tick box for single window" doesn't work.
and a few lines later is:
but the $EXIT will be "Ok", not "OK" (or something else, depending on translation).
The addition of <action>exit:OK</action> works for me, but maybe there's a better way..?
I also wonder why "Tick for pmount to quit after mount/unmount" option is hardcoded to be always disabled? Not that I'm keen to use it, I'm just curious.

I actually have a potentially more powerful system than my K6 in a cardboard box in my room. It's the old mainboard from the main family PC, and is an Athlon XP 1800+ setup. Reason I'm not using it is that I know from when it was new that Win98 doesn't run on it so I wouldn't be able to run my old DOS games natively. If only I had a spare case.

During the long period of downloading Precise 5.7 Retro I saw Frisbee announce that the link was down and it then brought the link back up again without intervention from me. Performance seems as good as Upup Raring 3.9.9.1. I'll see how it does with a more intensive internet session with lots of data transferred.01micko wrote:Good it seems to run fine.

The connection dropouts I experienced often seemed to have more to do with the amount of data transferred rather than anything else obvious. On the Puppies I had the problems on the system wouldn't notice the problem and I'd have to manually reset the connection, which at least on Frisbee was simply a matter of hitting the Restart Networks button rather than having to reload the profile then type all the IP addresses in again like I had to with Network Wizard.
Fair enough I suppose, can't blame me for trying though? Any chance of having a pet of the latest one and its deps on PPM? I see the current version that comes with Slacko is the newest in the 1.10.x family. There's a 1.11.x family too but that may have been when they started needing gtk3, I can't remember.01micko wrote:As for gnumeric.. well, it does need gtk3, a substantial increase in iso size.
