Fatdog 630 ati pet gives fglrx driver but no hardware acceleration so

• Openshot: "Fails to open" an mp4 video for edit - Resolved: User error.
• @Kirk resolved this over 3 years ago. My ethercard for DHCP is eth1. Where the system used to start correctly over eth1 for the past 3 years, it has ceased
• The terminal commands "update"/"updatedb" which is suppose to support the locate command do not work
• Dont know if its intentional, but no way to Control Panel on Main Menu; must hit mouse 2 on desktop to find it. But, did notice its icon on the taskbar
• Added additional desktops before entering ControlPanel>Localization>SetLocale; upon setting selected the option to allow X resttart. When desktop restarted, additional desktops were reset to the 2 at startup.Repeated same procedure and got the same results. The procedure Right-click desktop>Openbox>Add New Desktop (several times for multiples) THEN enter Control Panel as described.
• Each item I select in Control Panel gets X restart Localizations, Hostname, etc. (Maybe an option for BarryK's "FirstRUN" where all of this is set in a single screen may be a good future option for FATDOG)

That means without a fatdog.mo you cannot ad locale neither. en_AU nor en_US.UTF-8. Right?

...
export TEXTDOMAIN=fatdog

And I got that "No such file or directory" error...

it happened the same for firefox. (later I installed nighty from repos)

any clues why this error??

# which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox
# 

which dropbox

As I recall from past experience with other systems on this motherboard this does not happen with official nVidia drivers. It would be nice to have those when possible.

The terminal commands "update"/"updatedb" which is suppose to support the locate command do not work

Added additional desktops before entering ControlPanel>Localization>SetLocale; upon setting selected the option to allow X resttart. When desktop restarted, additional desktops were reset to the 2 at startup.

One question, what distro's repositories can I use (inside the FD paket manager) to get additional software?

joaomcteixeira wrote:there is no dropbox on which.

The thing is,

I am trying to run an executable file from a folder, which I can see in the file manager and in the terminal and than I get the error

"No such file your directory"

I can see the file, but when I go to run the systems says the file is "not there".

never got this error before..

the problem with firefox was similar. I downloaded the firefox.tar from the website, unpacked it, ./firefox (like allways).... "No such file your directory".

prehistoric wrote:Here's the simple fix to get downloaded file names in the message box of the package manager script. Single quotes prevent evaluation of $FILE. I've included the first few lines to show context. The fix is a one-liner.

Code: Select all

download_file() {
	local wgetpid progress
	local FILE MSG
	FILE=$1
	MSG="$(eval_gettext 'Downloading '$FILE '...')"

#		gtk gtk_progress_bar_set_text $DL_PROGRESS "$MSG" $progress
		gtk gtk_progress_bar_set_text $DL_PROGRESS ""$MSG"" $progress

download_file() {
	local wgetpid progress
	local FILE MSG
	FILE=$1
	MSG="$(eval_gettext 'Downloading $FILE ...')"
