Anyone noticed the same.

Hadn't notice this problem in earlier release.
Edit: I used YASSM ..Search and was about to attach the NAS.

SMB?

try mount.cifs

or at least mount -t cifs

Already tried -t cifs....but, mount.cifs. yields (This is remarkably similar to what happened in FATDOG6+ when it 1st came out. @JamesBond/@Kirk addressed it in the release of 610.)

Yes, it works now,thanks.

In asn earlier post, it should have read that YASSM has no problem accessing the NAS for me.

Ok, neither should the network roxapp. I just tried this:

# mount.cifs //192.168.1.6/homeshare /mnt/share
Password:
#

Got on... maybe try that.

Mounting the DFS root for domain not implemented yet
No ip address specified and hostname not found

(This is remarkably similar to what happened in FATDOG6+ when it 1st came out. @JamesBond/@Kirk addressed it in the release of 610.)

The mount.cifs command always requires that the options list be at the end.

[Edit] I also tried "mount -t cifs". It worked correctly both with the options list at the front and the back of the command.

Thanks, both suggestions work.

Been using mount for about 10 years and had grown accustomed to having it around. I'll appeal to @JamesBond to find out what they did to get mount to work again. (@Rcrsn51 was that you that helped them with that?)

Thanks again to get me this far.

See my edit above. The mount command still works correctly for me.

[Edit] I also tried it with just "mount -o ....." and it worked too.

I would try a fresh install, WITHOUT using Frisbee.

Hmmmm....pidgin does not show up....I updated the PPM...still doesn;t show up. What have I done wrong?

Dunno.. but I know where my truck is... c u on irc

Micko, concerning the optical media freeze bug, I found a post of
mine on Dec 2, 2012 that mentions the problem in connection with
testing Barry's Precise 5.4.2. I don't recall exactly when I first noticed
the problem.

I did as you requested, and posted on Barry's Precise 5.5 Beta thread
concering the bug.

Hi Art

So.. what you observe is that boot goes normally until it gets to ::
then it hangs, Right?

Yes, Micko, that's right. I can spot a freeze immediately since the
cursor is static (not blinking).

Hi Mick,
5.4.0.5 looks really nice.

I was disappointed that was not playing well in the XOs so I took another stub on udev-175 using the debian-patched source and moving udevd to /sbin, and it works!
So I can have a proper SlaXO_14

In case anyone needs the full udev-175 with extras for Slacko 14, find them here (md5sum: 0424dbad23f07f9278397d43c3cd3a7f)
The tarball has the udev-175-i486 exe, dev and doc pets.

I gather that is committed to pox-git?

Well, it's not a bug actually, just another "aesthetic" thing, but quite annoying:
I have noticed that ipinfo has been, inter alia, i18l'ed recently (which is good), but at the same time --geometry=600x400 & <vbox scrollable=\"true\">...</vbox> have been removed as well, what very often (when more than ~10 connections) causes enormously stretched window in vertical direction - even twice as my screen height...and the bottom half is simply empty.
Has anyone else noticed this too?

IDK what was the reason to set it up this way, but in case I'm not the only one who prefer the old way, I recreated things as they were originally designed by Vovchik (script attached).

BTW: What happened to YAD? Haven't seen it since 5.4.

Greetings!

SFR

Thanks for latest ipinfo script, yeah I forgot to patch it , it's impossible on a small eee pc the old way!

As for yad, I should put it in PPM, I have an older version, is that ok?

01micko wrote:As for yad, I should put it in PPM, I have an older version, is that ok?

It's not a big deal actually, I was just curious what happened.
But what is the version you have, btw?
I just checked in the repo (using 'find') and there's yad-0.17.1.1, but I have yad-0.19.1 installed (and I can't recall from where it is..? ).

Greetings!

I remember removing yad because no stock slacko app was using it, I guess I can compile the latest, only takes a minute or 2.
