Thanks!
I didn't need to compile the source myself, the glib patch made the latest version work for me on Precise 5.7.1 although it was compiled for Slacko.

Here is a modded version of desktop-drive-icons-0.0.5 for use when openbox is the window manager

It hides the d-d-i application from the tray

The change is in an added pinstall.sh

The requirement for the change and the solution was identified by SFR.

It has been tested on LxPup13.10 which uses openbox - and p-v-m.

Hi akash

Is it easy to install svn on puppy? Is there a pet?

Thanks
peebee

peebee,

SVN is on the devx



@akash_rawal, I have a problem generating configure

Did you run libtoolize -ci and aclocal before running autoconf?

To avoid future errors like this, I have now added setup-build-system.sh to the repository.

Please add russian .po for desktop-drive-icons-0.0.5

desktop-drive-icons has been added to a subversion repository.

http://desktop-drive-icons.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

desktop-drive-icons upgraded to version 0.0.6

Changes:

• Added Russian translation (Thanks Pro)
• revision 4: Fixed window properties in case of openbox window manager (Thanks peebee)

Does it work on Lucid..I believe that was a problem with earlier versions but interested in the current situation.

'crickets' ..... reminds me of the gtk widgets thread....

[SOLVED]

Hi all

With the new Slacko6Beta (Slacko5.9.3) comes the new option of using a save directory when frugally installing as well as the traditional savefile from previous puppies.

p-v-m-0.1.15 seems to have a bit of a problem with this new facility/method of working in that accessing the partition that contains the frugal install displays the save directory contents rather than the partition contents.

The 2 screenies illustrate the problem - both created on Slacko5.9.3 but the first has a traditional savefile, the second the new save directory. In both cases the frugal install is on sdb2 and the sdb2 icon in desktop_drive_icons has been clicked.

Can anybody identify the change needed to p-v-m to operate in this new environment please?

Thanks
peebee

I have Lucid with the save folder and these drive icons but have not tried the 2 at the same time. (there is a problem with these icons and a full install insofar as it leaves a defunt icon for the system partition though the 'not shutting down problem' was solved related to that) If I get any clues i will post them but I suspect they are not handling the double output from mount .

By the way you can have much better icons than the standard ones by creating your own with a specific name... I will pop that info up when I get chance as have to go out today.

gyro has provided some thoughts over on the Slacko6Beta thread:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 230#786230

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 243#786243

Another problem to report with p-v-m and Slacko6Beta....

Tested on a manual frugal install of Slacko5.9.3 with a "traditional" savefile

Just p-v-m and desktop_drive_icons loaded

A usb stick formatted with 2 partitions ext2 format - both partitions are seen and displayed

A usb stick formatted with partition1=vfat and partition2=f2fs then only partition1 is displayed - pmount shows that both partitions are present

akash_rawal are you there??

Thanks
peebee

I think the biggest problem with these icons is that either the dev has run away or only chooses to talk to certain people...

I think it's because /etc/mtab (-> /proc/self/mounts) contains:

/dev/sda1 /initrd/mnt/dev_save ext4 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/sda1 /initrd/pupro1 ext4 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 0

Apparently only the second entry gets picked by pup-volume-monitor, probably in libpupvm/pupvm-monitor.c, lines 388+.
However I don't know C, so can't fix it...

HTH
Greetings!

/initrd/pupro1
is that where the folder is loaded to as i use pup_rw ?

When I stop bobbing around in the water I could take a look.... like the other fixed scripts it would only need a bit of filtering.

These icons are great (I have as default on Lucid) so perhaps someone could take over support for them.

mike

Yep, if it's PUPMODE=13. In PUPMODE=12 mtab says:

/dev/sda1 /initrd/mnt/dev_save ext4 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/sda1 /initrd/pup_rw ext4 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 0

(btw, it was supposed to be pup_ro1, not pupro1, I made a typo)

Greetings!

I have asked for clarification of the difference in /etc/mtab between a savefile and a savefolder in Slacko6Beta:
