how do you get this big clock on the desktop? pwidgets or something else?

v.19 - stunning! Like your taste. Any chance of the 7th wallpaper (p.1) being included? How about wwoz.org from the Big Easy being included in streamtuner?
Suspect you have a good reason for not auto-including FlashPlayer? The v. in your present PPM selection works just fine for the IPlayer in the present default Midori.
Otherwise everything came up roses, including the correct auto-res. selection. Well done.

Code: Select all
# glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
274 frames in 5.0 seconds = 54.781 FPS
290 frames in 5.0 seconds = 57.904 FPS
283 frames in 5.0 seconds = 56.550 FPS
292 frames in 5.0 seconds = 58.320 FPS
if i new what the refresh rate was i would know i it is fast or slow

Yeah I forgot to add that one.
Dumb question: what is rover?

I was surfing the net with saluki today and 5 little Rover 1.O boxes popped up.
I have no idea why.
I have never seen these before.
What am I supposed to do with them?

Really nice experience so far .
Many many new things to explore like adrv.sfs ...
Whow !
One thing for pgprs-setup :
Without the standard connect button not easy to find
[Don't actually know why it is hidden and pupdial so much propagated .]
Funny theme and a stylish background fitting to that , I like it .
Woof is apparently not the newest, pgprs-setup is missing the gettext's
This is some code to add a PUK line to pgprs-setup :
Code: Select all
> RGPIN="AT+CPIN=\"$PIN\""
> if [ "`echo "$PIN" |grep ','`" ];then
> PUK=`echo "$PIN" |cut -f1 -d','`
> PIN=`echo "$PIN" |cut -f1 -d','`
> sed -i "s/$RGPIN/AT+CPIN=\"$PIN\"" /etc/ppp/peers/pgprs-connect-chatmm
> fi
> [ "$PUK" ] || PUK="\"\""
77a78
This is to filter devices not attached to modems ie USB to SERIAL adapters :
Code: Select all
> DMESG=`dmesg`
81c82
< for DEVICE in /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 /dev/ircomm0 /dev/ttyUB0 /dev/rfcomm0 /dev/ttyS0
---
> for DEVICE in /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 /dev/ircomm0 /dev/ttyUB0 /dev/rfcomm0 /dev/ttyS0
85a87
> if [ "`echo "$DMESG" |grep "${DEVICE##*/}" |grep -i -E 'GSM|modem'`" ];then
87a90
> fi
Code: Select all
> <text tooltip-text=\"Only needed if need to unlock SIM card\">
> <label>Phone PUK:</label>
> </text>
> <entry>
> <default>${PUK}</default>
> <variable>PUK</variable>
> </entry>
> </hbox>
>
> <hbox>
164c178
Code: Select all
> if [ ! "$PUK" ];then
209a225,227
> else
> wordreplace /etc/ppp/peers/gprs-connect-chatmm "$RGPIN" "AT+CPIN=\"${PUK},${PIN}\""
> fi
211c229,233
and this is to stop the pupmessage always popping up :
Code: Select all
< xmessage -center -title "$(gettext 'PGPRS SETUP')" "$(gettext "Connect to the Internet using 'PGPRS Connect' in the 'Network' menu.")"
---
> if [ -f "`which pgprs-shell`" ];then
> if [ -x "`which pgprs-shell`" ];then
> chmod a-x "`which pgprs-shell`"
> xmessage -center -title "PGPRS SETUP" "Connect to the Internet using 'PGPRS Connect' in the 'Network' menu."
> fi;fi
*
One problem with pupdial seems to be the entry
"ABORT ERROR"
in /etc/ppp/chat-script .
Unblocking the SIM and failing to connect mostly works at second attempt, but unblocking the SIM a second time always gives ERROR and the connection can only be tried again if the eeepc internal modem is reset by reboot,poweroff or suspend (to ram) . pgprs-connect also shows the ERROR message but has no "ABORT ERROR" in /etc/ppp/peers/gprs-connect-chatmmm .
*
Saluki performance overall is little slower but vacation for the mind !
Great piece of work , jemimah !

[by the way anyone knows how the trash bin can be placed outside the desktop ?]

Two years since i had Xubuntu running , accidentally deleted that partition by rm instead of rmdir
cleaning up ---
but found everything i was looking for in the control panel .
How do I get gtkhash to run in 18 so I can check 19?
Posted: Sat 14 Apr 2012, 23:24
by Pete22
I'm having a hard time today.
I am so excited to try 19 with all the new bling!!!!
However, I wanted to start out right by checking the md5 with
gtkhash.
I know gtkhash is installed in Saluki.
But:
I do not see it in the control panel.
I don't see it in "run a program".
I don't see it on any of the regular menus.
I don't see it on right click when I click on the iso.
When I search for gtkhash, I find it. ,
But none of the files will start the program.
Could someone please take me by the hand and show me how, or where, or what to do,
or tell me another way to check the md5 that is not tooo geeky?
Many thanks for your patience.
Pet

Pete, right clicking the file in properties "Digests" will give the option

Did a test manual upgrade from 018 to 019..... no apparent difficulties.Think I'll now delete the save file and try a fresh start.
Posted: Sun 15 Apr 2012, 00:24
by NZCyrus
tried to upgrade from 018 to 019 and also tried a fresh install by wiping my drive, but something does not load on boot and i cannot automatically log in. Saluki is the only OS on my laptop. md5sum of 019 was OK.
After the install, all is well and the desktop runs as normal, but when I reboot I am taken to a screen that says automatic login, etc but I am at #. When I type startxfce4 it takes me to the desktop but the screen freezes. Possibly my older hardware, ThinkPad R51 ?

Geoffrey,
thank you for the picture. Under the 4th tab, I could have missed that.
Humm, something IS wrong. When I press properties,
This is what I get this instead.
I wonder why mine is different.
Pete.
