@ neerajkolte

Thanks for trying.

Hopefully someone can get bleachbit working as a PET file as it would be handy for a deep clean of persistent files and cookies before re-mastering a FatDog image.

Hi Bindee,

Till that time you could try compiling from source tarball.
I didn't find it hard, it worked without giving any error. And cleaned my drive by 24mb.

Thanks neerajkolte

When running fatdog in ram only does anyone know if it is best to disable the " Ram Save Interval " ?

Dear james and Kirk,

When running fatdog64, My Firefox browser cannot import bookmark.html from my external hard disk.

Also, when i download file, I cannot save to external hard disk partition.

I have already made changes

/usr/share/applications/Firefox.desktop
Exec=firefox-spot to Exec=firefox

according to fatDog64 FAQ page here :

http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/web/fa ... -spot.html

I cannot remember but other programs are also having difficulties to access files on external hard drive. Using rox file manager, I can access files on external hard drive with no problems.

I am the only one using my netbook so I would appreciate it if there is a way that I can freely access files on external hard drives from any program.

Thanks

Thanks WillM for the google earth SFS.

If you're asking how - it's in Control Panel --> Event Manager.
If you're asking what's best - then it's really up to you. Some people like to turn it off altogether and save manually. Some people likes to save once every 24 hours. Some people don't want to lose their work and saves every 5 minutes.

pchan,
I think for a strange reason you are still running firefox-spot. How do you launch firefox? Can you check what is inside /usr/share/applications/default-browser.desktop and /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser?

But if you are running diskless in ram only without a HDD or flash drive then isn't it just trying to save itself too itself?

Thanks jamesbond for suggesting that I take a look at
/usr/local/bin/default-browser

Sure enough it had this line
exec firefox-spot

After changing it to
exec firefox

I started firefox and was successful in mounting my external hard drive in order to import my backed up bookmark.html


Thanks again! fatDog64 is a great distro

I am surprised that it ran well on both my netbook

MSI U270 with 8GB RAM (AMD Dual Core)
ACER HAPPY2 (D276) with only 2GB RAM (Intel Atom) A 32bit machine

Fatdog intel video driver

Does it have it's own brightness and contrast controls ?

Meld 1.6.0 (file/dir comparison) is in the FD 600 pets repo but there are new stable/dev versions that are much improved.
Would someone kindly update the pet file in the repo?
Otherwise, I could try compiling meld myself, but I'm unsure about dependecies; anyone care to hand-hold me? Here's what the home page has to say (I'd prefer getting the dev version):
note: I marked pets that I _think_ are available with * And this is the list of all dependency pets that I could find in the FD 600 repo.

Hi step,

Here is meld-1.85. It was built with Python-2.7.5, so was pygtk and pygtksourceview; also in this directory. Those pets may be needed, since the corresponding pets in the Fatdog64 repository were built with Python-2.6.
pygobject is included in pygtk.

Kirk , James

Can you release a new flashplayer.pet for the latest version to patch us against this new Rosetta Flash attack that steals login session cookies with
JSONP Callbacks.

Thanks

Hi Bindee,

Found this Adobe Security Bulletin dated July 8th 2014, which tells me that, Linux users should update to Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.394.
Then I found this Wikka.
It seems I only have to Download the .tar.gz,
decompress it to extract its content,
replace any existing file at /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so with the extracted,
re-start the Web browser,
Done.

Seems simple....


I will try that.


Edit: I tried that, now when I right click any flash content on any site, in about flash player it shows version 11.2.202.394.

But will this be enough or need to make pet of whole tarball?...

WillM, you're my hero of the day!
The meld binary you compiled works fine here with python-2.6 from FD's devx and pygtk from FD's 600 pets repo. I didn't need to install pygtksourceview (but will need to later).

I also didn't need to install python 2.7. However, I did try testing just the pygtk pet you compiled with the meld binary and meld failed with message "cannot import pygtk, no module named pygtk". I presume this is due to my not installing python-2.7 over 2.6, and not a failure of your package.

Since I do plan to upgrade to python-2.7 in the near future, your complete set of pets is a blessing. Thank you so much!

That will do it. No need to do anything with the rest of it.

Thanks Kirk and neerajkolte

Anyone?

A friend is thinking of building a low powered intel setup with fatdog.

Windows intel drivers often have brightness controls so wondered if fatdog intel drivers have the same?

If we're talking about a laptop, then yes there are brightness controls for intel. But the details very depending on the laptop. See:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/web/fa ... tness.html

not a laptop a desktop

i3-2120T 35w

Intel® HD Graphics 2000

Might still apply to a desktop, don't know. Every desktop monitor I've seen has controls on it.

So does your TV but you don't expect to have to walk across the room to change it.

If you have a dark picture on a page ( for example astronomy ) you shouldn't have to keep getting up from your computer chair to a wall mounted monitor 4 feet away to change the brightness back and forth.
