oops...my bad...this can be deleted, Flash.

This may or may not be the cause, but it's worth a try. I couldn't duplicate the behavior, but I've heard from others that could. Saluki has a bug in the uca.xml file. It's located at two different locations - a hidden file at /root/.config/Thunar, and another at /etc/xdg/Thunar. Download the attached gz file. Right-click and gunzip the file, and then copy and place it in the two directories. There may be another of the same name in /root - this may be deleted as it's not needed and is just taking up space. Let me know if this helps...I'm just as interested as you are in finding the solution.

On most puppies (I don't have saluki open in front of me, sorry) there is a "personalize settings" wizard, also called "firstrun wizard" or "firstboot wizard".

Open that. It will display the "welcome to [insert Puppy name here]" box and then give you a bunch of different useful options. One is a checkbox to enable UTF-8. Check the box and click the OK button. It will make you restart X after a minute or two (restarting X closes your active programs but it will not unmount anything).

After that you should be good to go.

nice shot , after i check that option and reboot, everything goes smoothly, enjoy it!

thank you

Glad to hear it! As a note, simply restarting X server would have been enough, you didn't have to reboot But that's beside the point.

Thanks Elroy but it didn't work. I did find those files yesterday when I was digging through the a_drive to try and find the problem but they seem to only apply to pfind down in the context menu and there was nothing about arrangment order.

If I boot without the a_drive the list is alphabetical, I then loaded the a_drive and the list stayed that way with all my added apps listed. It seems there is another file in the a_drive that is overriding the one from the puppy sfs. I still consider myself to be a linux noob so am just guessing.

Anyway, thanks for still supporting Saluki even though you are very busy with Carolina. I love Saluki but will probably switch to that when it matures a bit.

The foregoing discussion of spam problems on the Saluki-Forum should remind us of how much a debt of gratitude we owe to JohnMurga and our moderators for keeping this Forum spam-free.
We probably take it for granted: like fresh air until you've had to live in a smog-bound or polluted city.

Thanks, John.

Actually, I did find a USB stick I could reformat and lay out a new table on. I think I just erased the screenshot with the script I ran, but anyways, this is what it was like:

It was like the one which didn't work, didn't have the hidden sectors, but it did have the media descriptor. I have no idea what I did to the first one to wipe the media descriptor.

However, it worked fine and had no problems unmounting it in Saluki. Strangely enough, it didn't show a special name like the other two when mounted.

Hey!

I managed to decrease the memory consumption to about 45 MB and increase performance.

Additionally audio tracks and metadata now can be loaded via command line. You can give sayonara a single or multiple files as command line arguments. But be aware of spaces in the filenames. You can use quotation marks around each argument.

The new version is in the svn repository now.

Just check out

Lucio,

Nice job, working ok now, though there are a few things that could be done.

1) any chance of adding *.oga they will play if their renamed *.ogg,

2) the mute icon for the dark theme is missing, I made a copy of vol_mute.png and renamed it vol_mute_dark.png, that fixed it.

3) shown in the image, the version still say's 0.2

other than that it works well.

I've added sayonara-0.3.pet to the repo, refresh Saluki in the PPM

I'm using Saluki 023 and noticed that browsing samba shares from Thunar doesn't appear to work. Still have to use pnethood or something similar (I was using smbnetfs). I've petted up some files from the Lucid gvfs-backends.deb and pulled a few libs out of Gray's SalukiNOP and managed to get it to work. Just install the pet, and restart X. You should then be able to browse your samba shares from your other computers on your network, using Thunar's integrated network icon.

Can you auto mount these shares on reboot ?

regards Einar

if by 'auto-mount' you mean....still working after reboot? then the answer is yes.

it should work the same way it does in nautilus...or on windows. your network shares should be visible in Thunar....even after a reboot.

i mean like in windows we have "map network drive" it then gets a permanent letter. So that i can auto mount a share that i use in XBMC. or do I have to click on it to activate the share ?

ok i see how you mean now. you could write a script and put in in your /root/Startup folder similar to this to mount your share:

#!/bin/sh
sleep 10
mount -t cifs //192.168.2.101/share /mnt/network -o username=root

that way after a reboot, your share will always be mounted in /mnt/network.

you could also try a script like this:

#!/bin/sh
sleep 10
smbnetfs /mnt/network


the 'sleep 10' means wait 10 seconds and it's there to give your internet a chance to fully connect before it tries to mount your shares. you may or may not want to increase that.

u'd have to untar and copy the attached file first to /usr/bin if you want to try smbnetfs

smbnetfs should automatically find all your shares on your network, rather than mounting a specific share, which is what the first suggestion does.

these are my preferred ways of accomplishing this.

Nice one, about time someone got this working. Thanks!

thanks for the "thanks". but yea, i think it should be added to the repo. better yet, it 'should' be woofed into the next release.

@ Stifiling, It's still better than Pnethood but find I keep getting asked for a password over and over. Anyway to get it to save passwords at least for that session? Also, If I go back a directory it sometimes shows a blank folder.

hmm...i'm poking around with it now. i hadn't even thought about testing with passwords...due to the fact that i don't use them. totally slipped my mind. but now that i've set one on one of my machines....i'm not getting a password prompt.

your Thunar on Saluki is popping up a password prompt box??

I'll try to identify where the problem is.

as far as the folders being empty though...that appears to happen only after restarting samba...or towards the beginning of a new samba connection. after the connection is made (about 30 seconds or so after restarting samba) it's been solid on my machines so far. So far, at least for me...the behavior has been the same as if i was using XFCE in Arch Linux. but once again, i wasn't using passwords on any of my machines on my network then.

edit:
ok i got the password prompt and....i'm not experiencing the same issue you are. after entering the username and password for the share, the password is saved for the session for me. only way to get the password prompt to pop back up is by restarting X.
