So what we got here:
- hda1 is not recognized in 0.17 but in 0.8 (and in Pmount).
- probepart detects it as ext3
- you can manually mount it with 'mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1' ???
since Pdrive is using Dougals latest Pmount-code it would be nice if you checks that one (attached).
Thanks

hi zigbert,
thanks for posting the older Pdrive files as it gave me an opportunity to test them out..
my results follow...
Pdrive 0.8 to 0.13
cd-rom mount/unmount broke after Pdrive 0.13
no ntfs mount/unmount
Pdrive 0.16 and up
cd-rom mount/unmount -> fixed
ntfs mount/unmount -> FIXED + volume label
hope this help you

I had to change the Pmount-code to get this work. I hope it didn't crash something else. Please test 0.18.
What about your hda1?

hello zigbert again,
just downloaded Pdrive 0.18
my results :
hda with it's partitions is displayed correctly
tried giving ext 2/3 a volume label, works from ver 0.13- up,
didn't try before ver 0.13
Tried Pdrive 0.18 daemon with usb-stick -> OK
Forgot to mention minor cosmetic bug,
Pmount will automatically eject cd-rom upon unmount..
you're getting much closer to the solution.
sorry for the long post before, will try to keep to the point...

zigbert,
Sorry, no go with hda1. The partition will manually mount from the command prompt, and is both seen and mounted by MUT. As for the pmount code, its "sees" hda1, but returns this same message -
FAILURE! In the case of removable media, the most
common reason is the media is not currently inserted.
Or, you forgot to unmount the previously inserted media.
If so, please remedy.
I also noted that hda9 is listed as "hda9 - /1" - Clicking this only mounts hda9 though.
Could you repost 0.7 and 0.9 for testing ? I was pretty sure that one of them worked. (Should have said something sooner)

- Pdrive 0.9 is attached. Please report.
- Have you tried the latest 0.18?
- Does hda1 gets detected by the latest Pmount? See some posts above.
- Please give us the result of 'disktype /dev/hda1' in terminal.
- It seems that hda9 is either ext or ntfs? Please return the output of 'e2label /dev/hda9' and 'ntfslabel -f /dev/hda9'

maddoxThe eject is set in Pmount-code, and I guess that is a matter of taste. Maybe we could make it optional...
Good to hear that it seems to work for you.

zigbert,
Well.... It wasn't pdrive 0.9 - I don't know what to say, The partition is mountable via command line, its just my grub/boot partition, and maybe not worth the hassle..... I wish I could code more and help figure this out. Anyways, here is the info you requested.
disktype /dev/hda1
Code: Select all
--- /dev/hda1
Block device, size 94.10 MiB (98671104 bytes)
Ext3 file system
UUID 9635993B-1AE6-4B3C-BB18-81E942AB048C (DCE, v4)
Volume size 94.10 MiB (98668544 bytes, 96356 blocks of 1 KiB)
Code: Select all
Failed to startup volume : Invalid argument
Couldn't mount device '/dev/hda9' : Invalid argument
hda9 is ext3 - and I have no idea why it has that label.

I don't get this. Do anybody else got similar experiences? Here we got a ordinary linux partition that is not detected???????

You can use Pdrive (menu) to change that label.

zigbert,
Solved part of my problem - I guess I didn't mention hda had 15 partitions (so I'm strange
). The code in pmount / pdrive only accommodates 14, so I made the following corrections.
Code: Select all
if [ ! "$PARTSDISKN" = "" ];then
PART1DISKN="";PART2DISKN="";PART3DISKN="";PART4DISKN=""
PART5DISKN="";PART6DISKN="";PART7DISKN="";PART8DISKN="";PART9DISKN=""
PART10DISKN="";PART11DISKN="";PART12DISKN="";PART13DISKN="";PART14DISKN=""
NUMLINES=`echo "$PARTSDISKN" | wc -l | tr -s ' ' | cut -f 2 -d ' '`
while [ $NUMLINES -gt 0 ];do
[ $NUMLINES -eq 14 ] && PART1DISKN="`echo -n "$PARTSDISKN" | tail -n 14 | head -n 1`"
[ $NUMLINES -eq 13 ] && PART2DISKN="`echo -n "$PARTSDISKN" | tail -n 13 | head -n 1`"
[ $NUMLINES -eq 12 ] && PART3DISKN="`echo -n "$PARTSDISKN" | tail -n 12 | head -n 1`"
[ $NUMLINES -eq 11 ] && PART4DISKN="`echo -n "$PARTSDISKN" | tail -n 11 | head -n 1`"
[ $NUMLINES -eq 10 ] && PART5DISKN="`echo -n "$PARTSDISKN" | tail -n 10 | head -n 1`"
[ $NUMLINES -eq 9 ] && PART6DISKN="`echo -n "$PARTSDISKN" | tail -n 9 | head -n 1`"
[ $NUMLINES -eq 8 ] && PART7DISKN="`echo -n "$PARTSDISKN" | tail -n 8 | head -n 1`"
[ $NUMLINES -eq 7 ] && PART8DISKN="`echo -n "$PARTSDISKN" | tail -n 7 | head -n 1`"
[ $NUMLINES -eq 6 ] && PART9DISKN="`echo -n "$PARTSDISKN" | tail -n 6 | head -n 1`"
[ $NUMLINES -eq 5 ] && PART10DISKN="`echo -n "$PARTSDISKN" | tail -n 5 | head -n 1`"
[ $NUMLINES -eq 4 ] && PART11DISKN="`echo -n "$PARTSDISKN" | tail -n 4 | head -n 1`"
[ $NUMLINES -eq 3 ] && PART12DISKN="`echo -n "$PARTSDISKN" | tail -n 3 | head -n 1`"
[ $NUMLINES -eq 2 ] && PART13DISKN="`echo -n "$PARTSDISKN" | tail -n 2 | head -n 1`"
[ $NUMLINES -eq 1 ] && PART14DISKN="`echo -n "$PARTSDISKN" | tail -n 1 | head -n 1`"
NUMLINES=`expr $NUMLINES - 1`
done
#zigbert
if [ `echo "$PARTSDISKN" | grep -c "/dev/"` -gt 1 ]; then
echo "Harddisk|||" >> /tmp/pdrive-treeitems
fi
#---
for PARTNDISKN in "$PART1DISKN" "$PART2DISKN" "$PART3DISKN" "$PART4DISKN" "$PART5DISKN" "$PART6DISKN" "$PART7DISKN" "$PART8DISKN" "$PART9DISKN" "$PART10DISKN" "$PART11DISKN" "$PART12DISKN" "$PART13DISKN" "$PART14DISKN"
Basically, I added in references to PART14 as necessary. PDrive now sees hda1, but there are mounting errors. --Directory XXX not found --- File doesn't exist, or I can't access it: XXX --- and /initrd/mnt/dev_save is opened in a rox window. If I manually mount via the command line and hit refresh PDrive does change its mount status.
On another note, tried to change the drive label for hda9 to "nothing" (it had the label of /1), PDrive did not change it. I did get it changed from the command line ( e2label /dev/hda9 "" ).
Hope some of this helps,
JB

hello zigbert,
I've just translated pdrive 0.18 into french for Toutou, french puppy.
I'm using fr locale and ch kbd in Toutou (puppy)
Got a problem, really sorry to bug you.. looked around but to no avail..
Here i go, how do you incorporate accents into scripts as they display incorrectly by just typing them in:
é accent accute e , ô accent circonflex o ...
you must have the same problem in german and other european languages, can you or others give me some pointers please..
many thanks for your ongoing work

Hi everybody,
really a great idea this mounter...I tried it and wanted to give my little contribution (hoping someone hasn't already said the things I suggest, I didn't read all the posts..).
I find really useful the automounting of usb devices, but I noticed that the auto opening of a rox window does not always happen after inserting an usb device...pdrive starts, but rox doesn't open..
secondly I think (cosmetic) it should be nice that after automounting the device, an icon appear on the desktop, maybe with a right-click to unmount the device (something like in ubuntu).
Thanks to all for making this puppy so great!

can the drive drive icon on the desktop be done through rox? I know rox allows programs to appear as icons is there a command line option to force that?
also how would you auto start usb detection on boot as it is doesn't it require that you run pdrive first?

You can unmount a device by right clicking on it IF it is mounted. For convenience I opened ROX and drug all my mountable device folders over onto the desktop from /mnt.
I found that after a device is mounted the icon will automatically change. I mounted my hda1 partition in the the first pic below and as you can see it's green with a dot in it. Now if I right click on the icon I had the option to unmount it as shown in the second pic below.
What would be nice is if I could mount devices in the same way but right-click doesn't have the mount option, which I find odd.
I'm using puppy 2.17.1 but I think it's the same for all versions.

I meant like a dynamic icon that is there if a usb stick is in or goes away if you take it out...

If you use charset UTF-8 when translating, it all should be ok. This can be set in both geany and leafpad. Remember that rxvt doesn't accept utf-8. esmourgit had the same problem with Pbackup.

It should be added in /root/.xinitrc when activating deamon. It should start when boot reach xwin.
eden6000 wrote:I find really useful the automounting of usb devices, but I noticed that the auto opening of a rox window does not always happen after inserting an usb device...pdrive starts, but rox doesn't open..
Can you find out when it opens, and when it doesn't?
Regarding icons: One icon are double size of the whole program including the automounter. To include such a bloat, this icon(s) should be VERY nice and VERY useful
But, that is my opinion.
Please make icons, have fun, spread the news, make others happy.

proceduarally gerarate the icon.....
but actually that apdir i made had an icon.... it is an 11kb tar.gz and the normal one is 10kb .pet which is a .tar with no compressing... so guess you are right.... although you could just link to an icon that is already in puppy.... or procedurally gernerate a new one based on one that is already in puppy.....
Posted: Wed 31 Oct 2007, 20:56

Infact, that's what I meant, eventually link to an icon already present in puppy, in order not to increase the size of the package...I'm thinking about the newbies and the ex windowzers, they plug in an usb and....nothing happens? but it also is useful for regular users, why not have some little nice apps like this one to make things easier?
Concerning the auto opening of rox, it's strange, but it pratically never opens, although the box in the preferences is ticked...
