Heck, we have the 'Favorites' for that :D

I see what you mean, but you couldn't do that in the old Ptray either. I could add an option to open config-file in geany as in the old ptray. Integrating such a feature in the Ptray gui, I fear it would end up really confusing. It could possible be a unique gui - 'add custom item'........not on my priority list. - Hopefully someone will grab the idea.

Really liking Stardust now. Startmount is def sketchy. It mounts the drive, then a few seconds after, unmounts it.
Here is a nice little .jwm theme

Pburn not working

Pburn will not burn to CD or DVD. I go through all the steps and when the burn info screen comes on, nothing happens. All the steps seem to work, except the final burn operation.

This was used with a fresh run from CD, no saves on system, running from the disc only.
Is this working in Puppy 4.3.1
Zigbert,

Yes it does work in Puppy 4.3.1

In Stardust 005:
I tried it on two different computers. On one it works ok, on the other it does not. Best I can figure, it has to do with the CD/DVD burner that I am using. The two computers have different brand burners.

Could allso have something to do with Pburns temp file location?

/usr/sbin/fixmenus generates a list ($HOME/.stardust/tmp/iconlist). Here is the Icon-chooser code.
- first check if file is linked to a icon in globicons
- if not, check /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps
- if not, check $HOME/.icons
- if not, check /usr/share/pixmaps
- if not, check /usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons
- if not, set it to star48.png

Code: Select all

#ptray and favorites grabs icon and executable from this list
 ICON="`grep -A 1 "$TMP" $HOME/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons | cut -d '>' -f 2 | cut -d '<' -f 1 | grep -v "^$" | tail -n1`" #use icon in globicons if exist
 ICONNAME="`cat $APP | grep -m 1 ^Icon= | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | cut -d '=' -f 2`" #as it is in .desktop file
 [ ! -f "$ICON" ] && ICON="$ICONNAME"
 [ ! -f "$ICON" ] && ICON="/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/$ICONNAME"
 [ ! -f "$ICON" ] && ICON="$HOME/.icons/$ICONNAME"
 [ ! -f "$ICON" ] && ICON="/usr/share/pixmaps/$ICONNAME"
 [ ! -f "$ICON" ] && ICON="/usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/$ICONNAME"
 [ ! -f "$ICON" ] && ICON=star48.png
 [ ! -d $HOME/.stardust/tmp ] && mkdir -p $HOME/.stardust/tmp
 echo "$EXEC,$ICON" >> $HOME/.stardust/tmp/iconlist

middle mouse button menu not working

#55 Post by bigpup »

I have two different Logitech mice with middle buttons.
One will bring up a menu when the middle button is pressed the other one nothing happens.

Nice feature when it works.

I missed your question, Sorry.
Look in /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc

jwm -p currently throwing up these errors:

Code: Select all

I think I am right in saying the 'Corner' tag is no longer supported in the current jwm?

Apologies in advance if this is already posted ( I just skimmed through the thread). I had to load the devx_431.sfs for the 3 menus to work.

edit; I see the problem; I need to run pfix=ram. I was trying to just update the pup-431.sfs file in my grub folder, using my previous pupsave.2fs. Guess that doesn't work.

Re: Initial tests on 005-lameSMBexplorer

#61 Post by mawebb88 »

I see elsewhere in the forum

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 73&t=50901

(+comments from ttuuxxx) that other are having problems with lameSMBexplorer.

Hope therefore you will revert in 006 to the stable Pnethood which works perfectly.

zigbert I am not good at reading your text in first post.

You kind of say that this Stardust Puppy behave very differently.
It install itself from scratch. No Live session at all. The only way
to try it is to let it install itself first.

that is not what i am used to. All Puppy I have tested let one use it as "live" for as long as one like.

Is it just me failing to read the obvious or should I trust this puppy to be an install only version?
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Zigbert, a question............ here is the code from ptray that adds the tasklist:

Code: Select all

               ##################################################
               ##                                              ##
               ##               T A S K L I S T                ##
               ##                                              ##
               ##################################################

   <hbox tooltip-text="Show windows in tray. The tasklist makes the tray to stretch horizontally.">
    <button>
     <input file icon="gtk-add"></input>
     <action>[ ! "`grep -x "Tasklist" $HOME/.ptray/tmp/list`" ] && echo Tasklist >> $HOME/.ptray/tmp/list</action>
     <action>refresh:TRAY</action>
    </button>
    <text width-request="150" use-markup="true"><label>"<b>Tasklist</b>"</label></text>
    <text width-request="150"><label>""</label></text>
What do I need to do to make it specify a maxwidth, say, 200?
I set my tasklist to 200 manually, but every time I use ptray, it overwrites my custom change? I use this tag:

Code: Select all

  <TaskList maxwidth="200"/>

the stardust-desktop is packed on the iso and build on first clean boot from iso or whatever... it's still a live cd.

You're looking at the wrong place :)
line 81 in /usr/local/ptray/ptray

Code: Select all

		Tasklist)
			echo '  <TaskList/>' >> $HOME/.ptray/tmp/tray
			;;
Here is the correct place to include your maxwidth setting.
