FatdogArm Beta1/2/3/4- 16 April 2016
I've worked out a new method creating a default desktop background image.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=106428
It works in fatdog arm (In fact that is where it was first developed )
However the font used must be chosen carefully.
I think I used andika font or DejaVu Sans.
Try it out...

I think I know why people are downloading the wrong version of fatdog.
Here's why...
On the first post there is a list of download sites
... and raspberry pi has a separate page to go to but this is not explained.

Click and they take you to the Beta1 site rather than the Beta 4 site.Download locations:
- Full release notes
- Installation instructions
- ibiblio.org (primary site)
- nluug.nl (European mirror)
- uoc.gr (European mirror)
- aarnet.edu (Australian mirror).

Thanks! I've fixed it. Now it will bring to the releases directory directly.don570 wrote:I think I know why people are downloading the wrong version of fatdog.

I finally got around to making a zip archive containing all the files needed
so a simple install is possible.
It has the FD save file included.
I describe it here
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=106573
Just drag all the contents of the folder to the SD card (formatted fat32).

Here's the desktop. There's a nice big clock.

I solved the problem of reading html files stored on disk.
Method:
1) I made a desktop file called seamonkey-reader.desktop
in applications folder.
This will execute --->
Note that there is no mention of a document.
2) Make a link in SendTo folder named 'Seamonkey Reader'
The right click menu will now open html files reliably when I am root user.

I can't get bookmark.html files to import. I am importing from a file which I exported from firefox. If I try to import from a mounted flash drive via seamonkey when I get to the end of setting the path then press "open" I get "cannot import from sdc1 permission denied". However, mounting this drive outside seamonkey does not give any problems. I moved the file to home. This time seamonkey appears to import the .html file but no information is transfered. I'll spend some more time on this.
Hello AllFound a sort of solution to importing bookmarks. I used pfind to find any seamonkey files. I noticed for some there were two of a number of files the only difference in the name was that one of the two ended in -spot. I then checked the .desktop file for seamonkey and the exec was seamonkey-spot.
I assumed I was running seamonkey as spot and this was why I did not have permission to read the .html file from the flash drive while in seamonkey. I then ran seamonkey as root and had no problem importing the bookmarks. I know this is less secure but I have run browsers in other puppies as root so far without a problem. If anybody has a solution to the importing of bookmarks while running as spot I would love to know how its done and I would then go back to running as spot.
The above quotes come from this thead [/url]http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 900979[url]
It was suggested I post on the problem I had with importing bookmarks.html to seamonkey here. I hope somebody has at least seen this before.
Regards,
Ken.
The quick way to switch between spot and root is CTRL ALT arrow
There's some facts about permissions here

Hopefully James has some better advice.

I wonder what the 'umount' command permissions are???mount-helper mounts drive with this permission: root:$USER, permission is 770/007

Tried running seamonkey as spot. Moved the bookmarks file to downloads. Attempted to import from here. Everything seems to work except when checking bookmarks or manage bookmarks they have not been imported. I also appeared to have lost the link to my bookmarks folder in spot. I was left with a yellow triangle and text telling me it was missing or did not exist. I got it back by making a link from /aufs/devbase/Downloads to /spot. I presume this is OK. I think I will stick with running seamonkey as root for the moment. I have another 8GB micro sd. I might try a new install on this in case there is something wrong with this installation.

Possible Tools to Aid in FatdogArm development
Hi All,
You may know from my prior posts that my interest in FatDogArm is the possibility of porting it to various Tablets.
The most significant obstacle to pursuing my interest are my lack of knowledge and experience. Suffice to say, I have to wait for those who know what they are doing to do it.
The second most significant obstacle is that those who know what they are doing can only do it on the few devises they have access to and are willing to risk.
So I wonder if this information may help spur development.
Following up on a thread by kalimorphe, http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 945#901945 I decided to update my android-sdk. While doing so, I was offered the opportunity to download the system images shown in the attached screenshot.
I'm just guessing, but these may be used in Virtualbox. Kalimorphe's post links to http://highteckblog.blogspot.com/2016/0 ... lling.html which calls for the use of Virtualbox.

Tip: You mustn't put
in cmdline.txt if you haven't connected your board to a router or another computer.
The booting procedure will just stall.
Code: Select all
net=wired:eth0:dhcp

I came across this strange behaviour.
When using xdialog with a text box.
The box automatically opens wide enough for text when
raspberry pi version of fd-arm.sfs is used.
beta4 version of fd-arm.sfs --> the window must be open wide by user

Some good news!!
I was able to use a Netgear Wn111 N300 wireless USB adapter
to work with Raspberry pi.
It uses carl9170 driver . Here's how I did it.
I installed firmware https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/firmware-linux-free
( I made into firmware-linux-free-3.2.tbz)
Then I took the wireless drivers out of Barry's berryboot package
https://sourceforge.net/projects/berryb ... 4/download
( I made into wireless-drivers-fatdogarm.tbz)
available at mydrive.ch
EDIT: Install of wireless drivers wasn't needed because they are already
in fatdog arm!!! Just the firmware is needed
I booted up and typed in terminal
I saw...
usbcore: registered new interface driver carl9170
Next I connected to network
control panel > network > Network Setup
I could enter a windows server with fatdog_connect.sh
