Deadbeef compiled in Racy but seems to work well in Saluki.

It's also a good idea to test new applications with the pix=ram option. If it works then add it to adrive using the custom builder. Make sure adrive has been backed up first.
Typo. Should be pfix=ram

I am pointing this out to avoid inadvertently confusing beginners.

Saluki before your LMDE

#3324 Post by dennis-slacko531 »

I tried the Mint Xfce over the weekend and while not bad, there's still root user issues that will prevent quick learning. That opens a big door for very able Saluki. I'm sure that's already considered but with some promotion perhaps the word will get out to a million or so Xfce fans/students. That's about all I wanted to say.

Excellent puppy

#3325 Post by veronicathecow »

Hi Jemimah, firstly many thanks to you and the others for this puppy. I love puppy generally but always go back to PCLinuxOs because almost everything works out of the box (But it tends to run a bit slow even on new hardware 3ghz quad core)
I thought I would try a few different puppies for speed and ease of use and yours was the first.
I was going to pop back into PCLinuxOs but realised I felt so at home in your Puppy I would post from here instead. So far your puppy seems the most polished that i have tried so once again many thanks
Tony

settings Netbook launcher in saluki?

#3326 Post by Dromeno »

Ok, I have built a new personlalized saluki... But a strange behavior emerged: this one boots in a netbook launcher environment (tabbed desktop). I want to change it back to what it was but I can not find the icon for it in the control panel, nor do I know the terminal command for it.

For people who want a simple and fast method of
MD5sum calculation and checking of their downloaded files

I made a right click package. It needs xclip to be installed as well
but it's not too big.


Available here


Instructions: Just put the MD5sum in clipboard (by selecting)
Then choose the right click menu option.

There is a MD5 checker right clicking the file, Properties > Digests with a copy to clipboard, but it appears to have a problem,
I can copy the MD5 the first time, but unable to if I select another file to check, it must be a bug.

Another way to check the MD5SUM is to install gtkhash from the PPM if not already installed.

Open thunar
Select the Edit menu
Select Configure custom actions
Click on +
Enter a Name, EG: gtkhash
Add a Description, EG Check MD5
in command type: gtkhash %F
Select an icon
Now select the tab at the top called Appearance Condition and enter File Pattern: *.iso
Tick Other files
Click on OK

Right mouse click on an ISO file, select gtkhash, then click on Hash Button.

Simple and effective.

"everything but the kitchen sink" saluki

#3333 Post by Dromeno »

My apologies... I should not have asked questions so fast... Just for the fun of it I made an everything-but-the-Out house-sink saluki (with almost everything from the saluki repo installed). Everything except the games that is. Result in a giant iso to load in ram (over 1.1 GB). But it works.

My AsusEEE 1215n needs about 2 hrs to build it. Half of that is used for the creation of the adrive dir.

Jemimah is super!

Small point of criticism: if the iso is larger than ram, saluki gives up (can't boot). In lucid puppy that is not a problem, then not all the iso goes in ram.

Just a quick update. I'm still alive but totally exhausted. They have me flying all over the place and it's hard to concentrate on anything at this frenetic pace. Most of my off days are spent catching up on paper work and expense reports.

Next month I think I'll be in utah which should give me some stability but it is still (I think) three timezones away so I dunno how much free time I'll have.

Bear with me. Saluki is still on my mind.

Stuff2read while building your adrive

#3335 Post by Dromeno »

BTW...An excellent ebook to read when your notebook creates your personalized saluki iso is Parmy Olson's book "We Are Anonymous: Inside the Hacker World of LulzSec, Anonymous, and the Global Cyber Insurgency". An epub version of it is widely available.

The aims and activities of these groups were not that inspiring (=>causing digital damage for fun, I like the Saluki scene and help creating/popularizing a useful free OS for fun much better, with the logistic benefit that it is legal), but the group sociology was/is definatley worth to be studied. And Olson writes very well!

Mypaint

#3336 Post by Geoffrey »

I've compiled Mypaint for Saluki, what a great drawing app, I see it mentioned here and there on the forum,
but it doesn't look like anyone has compiled it before, I could be wrong, so I had a go at building it,
works fine, I've posted it at http://saluki-linux.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?p=428#p428
I'm trying to do most of my posts at the new forum from now on, but it's a bit hard when most of the action is here,
well normally it is, though it has slowed some what, Hi Jemimah.

Take time

#3337 Post by KJ »

jemimah .... Projects need to wait sometimes... Take care of yourself first. Sounds like many "new jobs" are a trial by fire these days (let's see how many fires can you put out before you burn out ... or blow up). Thanks for the update ... good to hear that you are OK just busy.. Thanks... May strength of the oak and flexability of the willow surround you .... KJ

Saluki is auto saving in manual save only mode

#3338 Post by KJ »

Saluki 22 is auto saving in manual save only mode. I have doing some on-line puppy forum posting and Saluki puts up a "saving" splash screen and goes thru. the cpu and usb activity sequence of a save (at least once every 10 minute) while I'm supposed to be in a "0" interval pupsaveconfig using mode 13 on a usbflash drive. I have not had this happen on another puppy version. Thanks ... KJ

Hi KJ, are you able to confirm that an actual save takes place? (maybe by adding a new program or something?? and seeing if that program survives a reboot?). I wonder if the save activity is some sort of "pseudo-save" rather than a real save?? (If such a thing is possible)
