-Sigmund, I remember your ATI card gives trouble since 431 IIRC, you included a special driver in Stardust puplet. Was that the radeon-hd xorg driver? If so I can compile it and put it in. I will message rurario (Norwegian Slacker, works at Opera) about the 16 bit colour bug in Opera. Also I'll post it in the Opera forum. Maybe it's an easy fix for them. You could also try opera-12.11 (pets @ ibiblio, nluug) and see if the issue is there. We are using now latest 12.13 (Feb 1 release).
Those days I ran Nvidia, and I always used Nvidia's driver to get 3D acceleration (Torcs)

I will test Opera/16bit...

Thanks, got it.

If you are feeling bored [ Laughing ], do you want to take a look at /usr/sbin/partview gui? (strictly from 5.4.x). It has Barry's svg code but I took out the bold fonts and added the vscroll because I have 16 partitions and it went off screen. I know there is folks out there with more partitions (MHHP Wink ).

No idea.. but if you can keep track of what works I'd be grateful for a list so I can patch GetFlash. Ta.


I have flashplayer installed that I downloaded from adobe.com, it's 17m in size (17410532bytes), works with the new opera pet at cnn and youtube.com

It is the partview code that is used in my alternative pmount.
Do we need both?

Shocked .. compressed?

Does your VLC pet depend on LUA? Or is it part of the package? I see lots of LUA files in there.

That's the size of the file in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

No, it's part of the package.

Ok, thanks for clarifying.

Now, is it the LUA built by CatDude? (which is in PPM)

If so (or even not) is it a different path from standard LUA? It's a bit of a dilemma if someone installs conky (depends LUA and drags it in) and then uninstalls conky it will berak your VLC, (or vice versa). If it has it's own unique install path from the original LUA then that's fine.

Confirming that Opera/Flash is working with 24bit colordepth.

I'll attach it to this message, I made the pet in slacko, it needed a change in the source code so it would work when compiling vlc, had to add -fPIC to a line in the source code.

billtoo, thanks for that, I see it's PREFIX=/usr/local, that's fine in this instance because CatDude's is PREFIX=/usr (and it's 5.1.5). Anyway, they shouldn't conflict.

It may have been better though to add LUA as a dep in the pet.specs, just FYI. Thanks. Uploading to ibiblio now.

PostPosted: Wed 06 Feb 2013, 11:02    Post subject: copy / move errors ntfs?  
Further testing of my rox drag and drop copy errors on Slacko 5.4.0.2

Pristine, manual, frugal install on an ntfs formatted disk with an ext2 savefile.

Error occurs after savefile creation.

On Slacko get errors for BOTH copy and move.

(for Dpup Wheezy 3.5.2.3 errors only occur for copy - not move)

Tested using specially created new directories with 16 files - see screenie.

Cheers

@Peebee & @Mick

Same here (ext2 on NTFS) and it also happens (what is logical) with cp -a:
Code:
cp -a /root/somefile /mnt/home
cp: preserving permissions for `/mnt/home/somefile’: Operation not supported

Looks like it has something to do with newer initrd.gz/bin/ntfs-3g - I rudely replaced it with older one from 5.4 and errors have gone...

EDIT:
Another workaround:
http://linux.die.net/man/8/ntfs-3g wrote:
no_def_opts
By default ntfs-3g acts as if "silent" (ignore errors on chmod and chown), "allow_other" (allow any user to access files) and "nonempty" (allow mounting on non-empty directories) were set, and "no_def_opts" cancels these default options.

Removing this option in init script (lines 239 & 249) disables these copy/move errors caused by newer ntfs-3g, but the question is - if that option is really needed for something or if it can be thrown away safely..?

Greetings!

You will notice something when you copy something to ntfs .Permissions do change. Everything turns to 777. The bug really is that the copy doesn't fail, but I like the warning that perms have changed. That's important. Changing a restricted file to 777 has security implications.

I would like to see rox patched to show the warning but the error (failed copy) fixed. I may contact npierce about this one. What say you SFR?

Since files are being copied correctly, why not?
Warning would be fine - always good to know more than less. Wink

Hmm, but it also happens while transferring from NTFS to NTFS (the very same sda1). Confused
Is it ok?

Greetings!
