Review :
Fatdog64-800 Alpha [16 Nov 2018] worked well with my Intel GMA 950 graphics

However when I tried to run Blender 2.79b I got terminal complaint that
OpenGL 2.1 not installed. But I expected this. Same behaviour in fatdog 720.

Also I noticed a right click menu item for mp4 files ---> Open with mhwaveedit

That's a mistake. mhwaveedit does open mp3 files thou.

New version for fatdog64 works well with wacom tablet.
When I checked I could use mypaint appimage that I had downloaded.

I decided to make a proper fatdog package.

I found I could if I made sure that the libraries were loaded with a wrapper script and then run the AppRun file
it would launch from Start menu...

I had to change the desktop file to make it show in Start menu

Categories=Graphics;GTK;2DGraphics;RasterGraphics;


I changed to...

Categories=Graphics;



Here is the wrapper script to load the libraries....

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mypaint-3.44/usr/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mypaint-3.44/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/opt/mypaint-3.44/AppRun  "$@"

Here is the fatdog package I put together...

Available download:
mypaint-3.44-x86_64.txz
Size 48mb

Mypaint app allows external paint program such as GIMP to be launched,
but it uses the mimeinfo.cache file located in /usr/share/applications/

I had to add following ...

Code: Select all

image/png=gimp.desktop

so mypaint would launch GIMP as external app.

Looking nice so far. Installed a vivaldi sfs I had lying around and the support libs (gtk3 and friends). Made some custom wallpapers and hacked around with the icons themes with a theme I had been working on.

I might post the icons one day.

BTW, running as ordinary user too which is made quite simple by just creating a user on Control Panel then select manual login in Control Panel.

Fatdog 800 is the first Pup of any kind I have used that detects my wireless (netgear usb) without me compiling the driver.

BIG BIG TICK

Boot is slow and difficult, but can be fixed

half tick

VLC has no title bar, but otherwise works ok

half CROSS

WINE plays my games perfectly, unlike other Pups OOTB

TICK


I have used it for general purposes on and off for about 24hrs without much issue.

Uhoh... simple-mtpfs fails with

Code: Select all

mick$ mtp-browser.sh 
Device 0 (VID=0fce and PID=01f1) is a SONY XPeria XZ Premium.
/home/mick/mtp_G8141
LIBMTP PANIC: Trying to dump the error stack of a NULL device!

I'll try it as root.

Later - hmmm.... works as root. Browses phone fine (BTW: not updated to Pie yet but it is due for my phone any day now).

As a side note, the USB tethering works fine for internet connection as root and user.

Must be access control somewhere on the device node or something. If you can figure this out, that would be good.

Thanks for confirming this.

Hi step,

It's working well here, thanks

The first time you launch the web browser...

That's the first thing I delete (actually, overwrite)! When I open a browser it's usually because I have a particular URL in mind, not to seek instructions. It's all a question of logistics. No idea what's behind the coding, but the best wifi connecting icons simply initiate a scan. That way you can recognise your own ISP signature if at home/work, McDonalds if you eat junk food, the bus company/train company if travelling (just look around and it's plastered all over the walls and ceilings). I guess there might be a problem if you're in a forest, on the lake or travelling incognito?

Hi Billtoo, thanks for confirming that kodi's working well for you.

Permissions issue? IIRC simple-mtpfs uses fusermount, can your user userid manually sshfs mount for instance?

Based on observations, the MTP stuff seems to have a lot of rules in /lib64/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules. All of them are configure (by default) to be accessible by "disk" group. This "disk" group has no member, so apart from root, that symlink is not accessible. Try adding your non-roo user to the "disk" group, and let me know how you go.

@mavrothal:
The Xft.dpi issue - I can't reproduce this in qemu. When I set the Xft.dpi to 168, control panel text is _huge_ but I can still see every item. Can you please post screenshot?

@step:
The one who made control panel faster isn't me. It's SFR so the thanks should go to him

I can reproduce it with my old tablet, so I strace'd simple-mtpfs and got this:

Code: Select all

write(2, "libusb_open() failed!: Permissio"..., 83) = 83

The relevant device in /dev/bus/usb/... has crw-rw-r-- perms.

Works, if we change this in /etc/udev/rules.d/54-fatdog-permissions.rules:

Code: Select all

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0664"

to:

Code: Select all

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0666"

But I'm not sure if it's a good idea...

Greetings!

Thanks SFR. Did you notice the owner:group? Is the group "disk"? If yes, then adding the userid to the "disk" group should grant it access.

But I'm not sure if it's a good idea...

No, it's not. We should instead find a more specific udev rules (which applies only to this particular device) and then either set the MODE to 666 or change the GROUP to whatever the non-root user's group is.

That's the "standard" way of doing these kind of stuff. Here's just one of them: https://askubuntu.com/questions/15570/c ... hid-device.

That's one of the benefit of running as root - you don't have to mess around with these pesky udev rules

Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs...
rootfs image is not initramfs (no cpio magic); looks like an initrd

a) What's your bootloader?
b) Did you try SFR's suggestions to boot with other OS?

a) syslinux from fd64 installer
b) yes i try so i can make a little update of posts, anyway i must find new 2G ram module

Code: Select all

fd64 800
rootfs image is not initramfs (no cpio magic); looks like an initrd

Code: Select all

fd64 721 kernel 4.7.1
rootfs image is not initramfs (junk in compressed archive) looks like an initrd

Code: Select all

ubuntu
Initramfs unpacking failed: LZMA data is corrupt

Did you notice the owner:group? Is the group "disk"? If yes, then adding the userid to the "disk" group should grant it access.

Nope, it's root:root.

But I added:

Code: Select all

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", GROUP="disk"

to 54-fatdog-permissions.rules and then added my 'testuser' to the 'disk' group, reconnected, relogined and now it works as advertised.

Greetings!
