X-Tahr-2.0 is based on tahrpup-6.0.5 with 3.14.56 PAE kernel. I had no problem running virtualbox-4.3.12-1.sfs, here's what I did:

1) load devx_tahr_6.0.5.sfs
2) load kernel_sources-3.14.56-tahr_PAE_6.0.5.sfs
3) load virtualbox-4.3.12-1.sfs
4) run virtualbox

Virtualbox with Puppy Linux never tried at home

#206 Post by Pelo »

Virtualbox with Puppy Linux never tried at home. Questions were asked about it in french section of our forum. I will try it
Until now, i preferred to install the requested Puppy OS beside existing ones, because Virtualbox (under Windows 7) is only useful for taking a glance. . Lot of boring troubles with mouse in Virtual box... Wait and see, nothing is better than a try.

Hello, rg66 -

I'm a half-arse'd tinkerer who's been working up a remaster of your X-Tahr 2.0, and everything is looking really, really great... except for one issue I keep running into;

When pasting/replacing a large number of "system-ish" files from one directory to another (such as copying over the /temp/root/ dir with the running /root/ dir during remaster) - the system semi-locks up, desktop background blinks on/off then eventually turns blank/grey, one of two CPU cores spikes and stays at 100%, and the task manager shows what I recall as gvfs-metadata (jeez... I think that's what it was... :oops: ) process as the culprit.

Even happened while deleting files from a just-inserted USB flash drive while preparing it for a fresh install.

Fortunately, I'm usually able to get through the remainder of the remastering, and a reboot (without saving) or a manual killing of the process and restart of X seems to set things straight again.

Any idea what that might be about, or any fix?

Other than that, your X-Tahr is simply great!! Thanks so much for this beaut!! 8)

Hi Moat,

Ya, the villain is indeed gvfs-metadata. It's a gnome thing for sharing data between apps but especially on my Pentium Ms it gae oft astray. You can temporarily clean it up by killing it and cleaning out its directory in /root/.local/share but I usually disable it (and accept the minor consequences) by creating a directory named unused in /usr/share/dbus-1/services and cutting and pasting the file gvfs-metadata.service from the services dir into the unused bucket. You need to create a whiteout file to 'cover' it so IIRC deleting or cut/paste works, moving doesn't. This kludge is easily reversible and any consequences in my experience are also reversible. Not limited to this pup by any means. I usually re-enable it for my 'users', kind of a coin-flip.
Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.

Hey Marv - thanks for the reply 8)

Yeah, I think I'll just clean out the /root/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/ directory as you mention, and leave the .service in place. It's something I'm now rather used to dealing with, and completely disabling it appears (after a bit of Googling) as if it may lead to other copy/paste/mount issues. Better safe than sorry, I suppose!

Maybe a little shell script to kill it when it gets out of hand - say, accessible from a taskbar button - would be a spiffy way to deal with it...

Just a bit of a wart on this otherwise seemingly perfect Puppy!

Thanks!!

FWIW, I just ran and completed a remaster immediately after deleting the contents of the '/root/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/' directory as you (Marv) suggested - went perfectly, for I believe the first time ever - with no odd behavior/blinking background/gvfs process runaway. Cool! 8)

I downloaded and installed this yesterday, it works great, the only problem I am facing is the clock is not syncing, I have the correct time region selected. :?

MY x-tahr from Italia not found in the forum

#213 Post by Pelo »

"Shutdown from whisker or from right click execute the same script, /usr/bin/wmpoweroff. If only the panel is killed it sounds like you somehow have the original tahr (or maybe Studio 1337?) shutdown script. Line 48-51 should be commented out."
/puppy_X-Upup_17.05.sfs italian version does not shutdown well. Scripts stopped by errors.
It seems that shutdown by right click on desktop would get x-upup tahr 6.0.2 shutdown well. I am trying to retrieve the Puppy builder, he is not part of italian Puppy.org..
Feed back soon, and i will inform how to make shutdown working properly.
:? right click, shutdown crashes
siklopz feed back same for me.

X-Tahr-2.0 with XFCE is GREAT!

#215 Post by amigodetux »

Congratulations. I have tested many software and runs well :) , for example:

Libre Office (and running macros without problems), Calibre, Paint, Krita, Wine (Soulseek, Ares), Amule, Thunderbird, VLC, and many others, of course your personal save file will grow but compensate in functionality.
Light, works well, but don´t like to much.

I have used JWM, XFCE, GNOME, KDE, under Ubuntu, and like a final user for day a day simple computer task, I say that XFCE is the best desktop for Puppy Linux, and should be the default one. JWM is minimalistic and functional, but.. although old computers working today, support XFCE, low consumption of resources and friendly for those who like simplicity and a personalized look.

Well, I hope having X-Tahr for a long long time with its kernel upgrade and 64bits version to respond the changes of the time ;)

Thanks a lot for make possible Linux for those who cannot buy a new compu or wants to explore new horizons beyond the windows.

Hi.

I'm asking this on all XFCE Puppy topics, sorry for bothering...

Probably you can give me some help?

I need some advice on how to add right click actions to a XFCE Puppy. As far as I could examine they are defined in file:

/root/.config/Thunar/uca.xml

Is this file created/edited manually or automatic by a script?

I'm asking because of its <unique-id>1422185653060257-1</unique-id> definitions.

How are they created?
Are they necessary?

How to add right-click actions within a running XFCE Puppy?

Thanks

You can highlight any and click edit to see how they are configured. Don't forget to configure appearance/conditions tab.
