Hi jrb,

Thanks for turning the iso_delta2pet script into a pet with ROX right-click option. Smile

Got some good news first.
The pet installs and the script runs properly in the bionicpup32 I was testing in. The right-click options work fine.

Now the not-so-good news.
The script still does not run properly in precise 5.7.1 or precise-light
That is not your fault, it was not running properly in precise since the script was developed. The right-click options worked fine.

After testing the pet in precise it is giving me the same results as my first testing of the script, there is a difference in the size of the resulting pet
between precise 5.7.1/light and bionicpup32. I am using peebee's upupbb-18.05.iso and upupbb-18.05.iso___upupbb-18.05+22.iso.delta to test with.
--------------------------
Tested with
upupbb-18.05.iso - the iso is 258MB
upupbb-18.05.iso___upupbb-18.05+22.iso.delta - the delta is 58MB

After running the script in bionicpup32 results in a pet that is 41.1MB
After running the script in precise 5.7.1 & precise-light results in a pet that is 8085KB.

I have attached the output from terminal for both precise and bionic as text files in case you are curious.
Have also included a tree of the directories that were created from both precise and bionic as txt files in case you wished to compare output.

I suspect it could be something different between the bionic / precise versions of any of the following deps

Hi jrb,

Found the iso_delta2pet_v1.sh fix for precise-light.
Now getting the same results in bionic32 and precise-light Smile

in precise replace
/bin/find
/usr/bin/diff

with the attached files from bionicpup32

Please guys,

Devise something simple?

Something regular user Joe Bloe doesn't have to do contortions over?
IMO delta files require that the user do contortions.

Delta Is really a fragile format and procedure.
You give any wrong parameter and your original file becomes unusable.
Somewhat scary.

Thanks in advance.

We actually need more like you!!! Very Happy

Where was I?

Ah, yes.

I unsquashed the zdrv sfs of your latest iso, and managed to shave off
4Mb's off it resquashing it using this formula:

@jrb
Using your script for feh, a copy is made of the default wallpaper as a background for conky. If you change wallpaper using the menu, default is not updated. So you end up with conky backgound of default wallpaper always.
This is something that should change in the wallpaper chooser. Or the feh script should be adapted in some way to use the current wallpaper as a background.

Any idea where I can find what the current wallpaper is ?

Volhout
