UDF support feedback

#21 Post by peebee »

I noticed from BK's blog that he had implemented udf support for dvd's. :D

I had an already udf formatted dvd that I've used in the past on Windoze to do backups. I'm pleased to report that it mounted just fine on Precise 5.4.90 and I was able to delete files and copy files to it just like it is a hard disk - which is great.

I did notice however that neither Partview nor Pmount seemed to know that the dvd/filesystem was mounted....see screenie

plus, I wonder how you would go about formatting a dvd for udf access? Is this done via gparted? Does gparted support udf dvd fomatting or should some other program be used - Pburn?

All-in-all I'd say this is a great addition to the Puppy armoury....
Cheers

One thing, I do believe some of the 'fonts' could be a wee-bit 'thicker', especially in browser-headings of Seamonkey... there they could also be a bit larger
Here's a quick comparison:
I transplanted the contents of etc/fonts from pemasu's dpup Exprimo into this build. At this image size you probably won't see a big difference, but on screen, it will not go unnoticed.
Haven't done yet much testing, so far runs smooth and cool on my eeepc.

installed openshot (ubuntu version) from the PPM and it fired up straight away, i'm glad the python.deb install scripts are now being run. :)

alsaequal is excellent and works well

the chat icon on the desktop is pointing to pidgin instead of xchat or mozchat. thanks for removing ayttm, it was a pain!!

it would be nice if glipper is set to autostart by linking it to /root/Startup, it's extremely useful and a lot of people probably don't know that it's there.

Thanks for providing this - Downloaded 5.4.90 yesterday from Ibibilo - took 43 minutes using fast DSL - using this site was able to download 5.4.91 in 20 minutes.

Appreciate it.

:arrow: I've seen this in Precise (the alpha version too), both in JWM and Openbox: when I right-click a file from ROX and select either Copy, Rename, or Move (several times, the one I use more frequently is Copy), the screen turns black, showing only the taskbar, then if I try to use other programs the taskbar disappears and all is finally black. I restart X and keep doing things as usual, then after many times copying files from ROX right-click menu I get the black screen again.

go to the internet connection wizard and choose the tool you connect with (for example I use GPRS Connect) as the one that launches when you click the desktop connect icon, then you will be able to disconnect by right-clicking the taskbar network icon and selecting 'disconnect from network'

I saw the 5491 link so I downloaded the iso and did a manual frugal
install to a 4gb flash drive running on an EeePC 701 netbook.
The EeePC 701 is connected to a 19" lcd monitor.

I tested partview and pmount with a udf dvd, they both work correctly.

If 'probepart' returns correct "udf" f.s. for the optical disc, then partview and pmount will also work correctly.

That had me puzzled for a moment, then I realised that Precise had been built with the wrong xchat PET.

The latest one I created is in the 'common' repo, and has a 'pinstall.sh' (post-install) script that fixes /usr/local/bin/defaultchat to run chat.

I have modified the package-list for precise in Woof:

Code: Select all

yes|xchat||exe,dev,doc,nls|pet:common #using this instead of ayttm.
...it was grabbing xchat PET out of the 'wary5' repo, this tells it to use the PET in the 'common' repo.

I know there is also Chatzilla, but I was thinking at the time, might want to do a build without SM, or a cutdown SM that doesn't have Chatzilla.

irishrm.
I don't yet know whether to include Frisbee in 5.5beta (the next build).

I will rely on feedback, how well it works in 5.5alpha1, and whether it stomps on the toes of the other connection systems or not.

Would you mind running these two, and post them here (this forum thread):

vicmz,
With ROX, I just drag a file, then when I release the left-button a menu pops up asking whether want to copy, move or link.
Does this way work OK for you?
