Pburn not working

#41 Post by bigpup »

Pburn will not burn to CD or DVD. I go through all the steps and when the burn info screen comes on, nothing happens. All the steps seem to work, except the final burn operation.

This was used with a fresh run from CD, no saves on system, running from the disc only.

Agreed. Everything is fine as long as all you want to do is use the bar as a program launcher, but heck, we have a menu for that. It is much more problematic if I want to launch a file loaded into an application, or maybe launch rox with a particular folder opened. Usually to do this I just write a script, put it in /my-applications/bin and add it to the top bar for easy access. Using the gui in Stardust, it is easy to add the script, but I have no option to add an icon, so the button does not appear. To solve this, I have to create a .desktop file for the script, or edit the tray file by hand. A select icon option would solve it.

Startmount is up to 0.1.5

You can now type a command in the entry widget, it is forked by default. Options are accepted.

Also added a new feature showing drive space, and fixed usb install drive detection (hopefully).

Heck, we have the 'Favorites' for that :D

I see what you mean, but you couldn't do that in the old Ptray either. I could add an option to open config-file in geany as in the old ptray. Integrating such a feature in the Ptray gui, I fear it would end up really confusing. It could possible be a unique gui - 'add custom item'........not on my priority list. - Hopefully someone will grab the idea.

Really liking Stardust now. Startmount is def sketchy. It mounts the drive, then a few seconds after, unmounts it.
Here is a nice little .jwm theme

Zigbert,

Yes it does work in Puppy 4.3.1

In Stardust 005:
I tried it on two different computers. On one it works ok, on the other it does not. Best I can figure, it has to do with the CD/DVD burner that I am using. The two computers have different brand burners.

Could allso have something to do with Pburns temp file location?

/usr/sbin/fixmenus generates a list ($HOME/.stardust/tmp/iconlist). Here is the Icon-chooser code.
- first check if file is linked to a icon in globicons
- if not, check /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps
- if not, check $HOME/.icons
- if not, check /usr/share/pixmaps
- if not, check /usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons
- if not, set it to star48.png

Code: Select all

#ptray and favorites grabs icon and executable from this list
 ICON="`grep -A 1 "$TMP" $HOME/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons | cut -d '>' -f 2 | cut -d '<' -f 1 | grep -v "^$" | tail -n1`" #use icon in globicons if exist
 ICONNAME="`cat $APP | grep -m 1 ^Icon= | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | cut -d '=' -f 2`" #as it is in .desktop file
 [ ! -f "$ICON" ] && ICON="$ICONNAME"
 [ ! -f "$ICON" ] && ICON="/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/$ICONNAME"
 [ ! -f "$ICON" ] && ICON="$HOME/.icons/$ICONNAME"
 [ ! -f "$ICON" ] && ICON="/usr/share/pixmaps/$ICONNAME"
 [ ! -f "$ICON" ] && ICON="/usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/$ICONNAME"
 [ ! -f "$ICON" ] && ICON=star48.png
 [ ! -d $HOME/.stardust/tmp ] && mkdir -p $HOME/.stardust/tmp
 echo "$EXEC,$ICON" >> $HOME/.stardust/tmp/iconlist

middle mouse button menu not working

#55 Post by bigpup »

I have two different Logitech mice with middle buttons.
One will bring up a menu when the middle button is pressed the other one nothing happens.

Nice feature when it works.

I missed your question, Sorry.
Look in /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc

jwm -p currently throwing up these errors:

I think I am right in saying the 'Corner' tag is no longer supported in the current jwm?

Apologies in advance if this is already posted ( I just skimmed through the thread). I had to load the devx_431.sfs for the 3 menus to work.

edit; I see the problem; I need to run pfix=ram. I was trying to just update the pup-431.sfs file in my grub folder, using my previous pupsave.2fs. Guess that doesn't work.
