After some messing around I figured out why thumbnails weren't shown in Thunar. There was a missing cache plugin symlink in /usr/lib/tumbler-1/plugins/cache.

I've made a pet to add it or just dl the tar.gz and add it manually. You can get them here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=665827#665827

Very good stuff as always, Marv, but I have to ask...what lite version are you running?


I'm running lina-lite0-001 from the link in the first post on this thread. Is there another version? Looks like rg66 has the thumbnails back. Havent tried his fix yet.

Thanks for that, rg66. I'll use that for 002.

No...you're using the version that I'd be using...just wanted to make sure it wasn't an older "light" version. I'm going to add this and your pm'd probepart4. It's good stuff, and I meant no disrespect by asking you what you're currently running int on...just had to be sure.

Gvfs-smb seem to break something in thunar. After install and restart x, thunar takes over 20 seconds to open and network is missing from the side pane. Using go>network from the menu bar gives network error. After uninstall thunar remains broken, back up your save file first if you try it.

Gvfs-smb works in carolina-003 though, which I am assuming is using the same lina_xfce-4.10.


I tried Gvfs-smb from Saluki and it's working without problems, it has 5 or 6 more libs than the Carolina one. I will assume it was the missing libs that were causing the issues.

elroy removed those files for Carolina

There's already a gvfs pet in the repo, but this one does seem to get the Thunar network tab working.

I've uploaded this to the carolina repo. I removed some of the library files because they're already on carolina by default.

It seems to work. I don't have windows, but my wife does, and I can see her computer when I click the Network tab from within Thunar. If I click on her computer's icon I get a login/password dialog. Clicking the Windows network icon crashes Thunar, but that may be because I'm not logged in as a network user, or some other reason.

The following files were removed because they're already on carolina by default:

/usr/lib/libgconf-2.so.4
/usr/lib/libgconf-2.s0.4.1.5
/usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.11
/usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.11.5.3
/usr/lib/libgpg-error.so.0
/usr/lib/libgpg-error.so.0.8.0

I searched the forum and found nothing, I don't recall seeing that post but wish I had.

Maybe the full pet could be in the repo as gvfs-smb-lina-lite.pet or something. Would be helpful for people like me with not so much experience.

No disrepect taken, I just wondered if a version slipped by me. Finding not much else to gnaw at, I remastered my working version last night. Went well, with a total boot directory size now of 120 MB with browser and apps and seems rock solid. That pleased me.

'lina-lite-002 is now available. See the first post of this thread for download links.

What's new in 002?

* kernel version 3.2.13-c. This is a non-PAE kernel that is essentially the sister version to the one offered as the default PAE kernel used in Carolina. Kernel sources and headers are available on the server using the links provided in the first post of this thread.

* Notifications are working. I recompiled the xfce4-notifyd-0.2.2-i486 package to get the notifications working. I've also added it to the lina_xfce-4.10.pet in the repository.

* A faster probepart script (thanks Marv). This eliminates the slow shutdown speed/hanging experienced on some machines.

* An improved panel-mounter plugin (thanks again to Marv). While not yet perfected, it is much more usable than was the case in 001.

* Thunar now displays thumbnails (thanks rg66).

* After much back-n-forth, I decided to include the pup-volume-monitor-0.1.10 package in the adrive.

* To save space I did not provide a default wallpaper image. If you want wallpapers you'll need to add your own images to /usr/share/backgrounds.

With all these changes the new ISO size has increased by only 1 MB. I've also provided a .delta file that you can use to create the new 002 ISO from the 001 version ISO. The .delta file is approximately 23 MB. If you prefer to just download the 002 ISO it is approximately 106 MB.

Thanks a lot.
My first time with it, on my other computer, a Dell D610.

I put the three .sfs fiies and vmlinuz and initrd.gz in a directory, and booted it via a menu.lst

Seems very nice,

But when I try to reboot and make a save file, it says no suitable partitions to save to.

Help, please.


Thanks again,

Sheldon

Hi Sheldon. Dummy me forgot to set the permission on probepart. To fix this open a terminal window and enter the following:
Code:
chmod +x /sbin/probepart


In the meantime I'll fix this and re-upload the ISO and .delta files. Thanks for the heads-up.

EDIT: fixed ISO and delta files are now uploaded.

Got it, and thank you very much.
Am on 'lina now, using Opera 12.02 (loaded the .sfs)
Will it load at next boot?

Thanks again.

Yes, it will as long as you're using a savefile.

Looks good elroy,

Quick look, pfix=ram frugal install. intel 2200 pro firmware found ootb now. Udev rules look good, probepart too, icons in thunar GREAT, panel mounter working with one caveat yet. Preinstalled Panel mounter perfect. If for any reason someone deletes that one and then reinstalls it, custom mount line still has to be cut and pasted in as does any device blacklist. The configuration file in /root/.config/xfce4/panel comes up with different #s depending on panel configuration. I have a template file and a script to replace any that exist but it isn't quite puppable yet. Just to get the lines in one place, here they are. Looking real good! Very Happy

Custom mount line:
Code:
sh -c '[ ! -d %m ] && mkdir -p %m ; mount %d'

Device blacklist example:
Code:
/dev/loop0 /dev/loop1 /dev/loop2 /dev/loop3 /dev/loop4 /dev/fd0
