That was using your tool to set it today. For days I didn't bother setting locale or timezone. I was getting weird warnings about locale when compiling some stuff.

Can't reproduce here, do you mind adding tracing the script (make the first line "#!/bin/ash -x") and run it from the command line to see the output?

I have uploaded glibc_locale-non-English pet that enables non-English locales to a certain degree. But as kirk said, Fatdog is officially English-only. We can't test / fix non-English locale problems. Many applications have their *.mo files removed for for size reasons; same for those applications in the pet repository as well.

If I install "slim" login manager it seems that the drive icons don't show up. I traced it to the "get_USER" function and I got USER=

Naturally the script exited. For now I just replaced xinit with init, as that is where it was failing for me, drive icons returned. There was no xinit process listed in the output of "ps -eo user,comm"

Also, if slim is installed it breaks anything that is called with user spot. I guess you knew that .

Symlink /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.0 is missing, sven daemon complains but sven still works, maybe just not 100%.

I need to look at this ... anyway what does sven have to do with regular expression library? odd

Here to help

default fatdog

label fatdog
kernel memdisk
initrd test.iso
append iso raw

here's the error in the /var/log/slim.log

Code: Select all

DIR:/root/.sven/plugins
DIR:/usr/lib64/sven/plugins
Plugin Add[0]:/usr/lib64/sven/plugins/autoconvert.so
Could not load plugin: "/usr/lib64/sven/plugins/autoconvert.so" 
Dynamic Loader Error: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Make the link, no error.

Understood on the other stuff mentioned in the earlier post

While I'm at it... a similar error to Jim's regarding libxml , both with libreoffice 3.5.4 and pidgin....

Code: Select all

# pidgin
pidgin: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libpurple.so.0)

Pidgin still runs but I haven't fully checked out yet, will shortly. Libreoffice-3.4.6 however (older version) runs fine.

EDIT: yep, online @ #puppylinux right now, so that works.

I did a very careful re-install directly to USB.

During the install i was given the default option of moving the download file outside of the savefile.
I un-ticked that box and my downloads are appearing in spot as they should do.

I have downloaded some small and large downloads even a youtube video without any hiccup.

so far so good "upward and onwards"
