Latest changes, will be in Beta 5:
Code: Select all
07 Nov:
- fixed the i18n'd sfsconvert 1.4-1:
- updated for gtkdialog4, removed the action=refresh stuff
- added $1 stuff to make it a working right click option
- updated gtkdialog-splash: Akita has no yaf-splash, so:
- I removed the font option thing that load original yaf-splash (thought that option was gone anyway! grrr)
- updated mksquashfs4 to 4.1, supports xzcompression (needs newer kernel)
- updated hostname to latest, added fix to run GUI if no hostname was passed (that's better for Akitas setup)
pup_event_frontend_d

I have commented out line 120 in /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d and now I have desktop icons. I guess the problem was in new line in one of my partition labels.
Code: Select all
/dev/sda1: LABEL="
COMPLETE" UUID="745E-5BCC" TYPE="vfat"
Another problem - no utf-8 when mounting vfat. Russian file names are ??????.
Mounting with ymount or pmount is ok.
I have also updated translation for browser-installer.

Thanks for the updated translation
I am looking into the other issues, I am thinking that maybe I can add into line 120 a sed command that removes all \n newlines ... That will retain the drive labels, while working with your drives..
I will try to recreate the problem on mine, then fix it...
Also, I am not sure what do to about the fat utf08 problems - does this problem only exist when mounting through ROX drive icons? Have you tried the JWM-only drive icons?
Again, I will try to recreate the problem on my system, and have a go at fixing it..
Thanks for the info, I appreciate the help finding these things!
jwm only icons

Same thing with JWM-only icons - no UTF-8. It has something to do with mount option utf8 for vfat.
I had the same problem with ymount:

I cannot re-create the problem.. I was sure I had it working already and it seems that way for me still .. I have created various files and folders, created on the fat partition and elsewhere then copying them to it.. I always have Russian filenames showing fine..
I have tested on various locales and have mounted/unmounted many times... both the rox and jwm drive icons work fine...
However, in my tests, Pmount does NOT work with UTF-8 filenames - it shows garbage, instead of Cyrillic.. The same for muppyquickmount - which works even worse cos the 'garbaged' folders cannot be opened... Very strange..
I am gonna apply what I can, based on your code in ymount, and see what happens

OK, well this IS a conundrum.... I have tested again at work (so on a different PC)... It's a Windows XP machine, with vfat partitions.. All mounting works fine, showing Cyrillic/UTF-8 characters without problems, EXCEPT ymount, which shows the garbage I mentioned above..
Rodin.s' test results:
- Working: ymount, pmount
- Not working: rox drive icons, jwm drive icons
So, my 1st test, at home, as described above:
- Working: ymount, jwm drive icons, rox drive icons,
- Not working: pmount, muppyquickmount
And my latest, 2nd test, at work:
- Working: pmount, muppyquickmount, jwm drive icons, rox drive icons
- Not working: ymount:
So strange!!! I have yet to add rodin.s' changes to all scripts, but ymount isn't working with it included (on my work PC)..
Hmmm.... Any ideas anyone? Any vfat experts?
mount vfat and utf8

This is my test in termital (in termit with UTF-8 support):
Code: Select all
# mount -t vfat /dev/sdd2 /mnt/sdd2
# ls /mnt/sdd2
????? ????
# umount /mnt/sdd2
# mount -t vfat /dev/sdd2 /mnt/sdd2 -o utf8

muppyquickmount and ROX-icons work. Mounting is OK. JWM-icon - mounting with "???????".
pup_event_frontend_d doesn't work. Code in terminal explaines why:

And I now understand what line "unterminated quoted string" means.
Maybe line 148 of flash-get should be changed like this to make it version independent:
Code: Select all
*)$0 `Xdialog --stdout --no-tags --title "$(gettext 'Flash Installer')" --icon "/usr/share/doc/flashlogo.gif" --no-cancel --radiolist "$(gettext 'Select an Adobe Flash product to install:')" 0 0 8 11 "$(gettext 'Install Flash') 11" on 10 "$(gettext 'Install Flash') 10" off 9 "$(gettext 'Install Flash') 9" off 7 "$(gettext 'Install Flash') 7" off p "$(gettext 'Install SWF Player')" off f "$(gettext 'Fake upgrade to Flash 10')" off q "$(gettext 'Quit')" off`;;
I have updated translation for flash-get (original one).

Soon it may be time to start faking the upgrade to v12.x, let me know if sites start saying the version is too old (its a pretty simple fix, but being off by even one byte will bork flash)
epub format

To Scottman
Would you check if your version of FBReader
can open the epub format?
Here's a new site I found to get free epub books
http://www.epubbooks.com/
I'm getting segmentation faults when opening epub books??

It works fine for me, I tested about 15 ebooks from the website you posted...
rodin.s, I'll have another go at fixing those problems soon.. And good idea about the gettext simplification..
Techno, I agree! Well, fake update to 11.x will do I guess... Unless Adobe goes all 'firefox' on us and start releases silly numbers of versions... I'm still thinking we might need our own Flash repo, to ensure flashget and flash-get work fine, as Adobe may well keep moving URLs from some time, we don't know...

FBreader works okay now .
I must have been
fooling around with the libraries.

Meh, it's OK, I don't either

cool, I 'll have a look... I tested my fix with and without submenus, seemed to work fine.. But if u got a shell only solution, I'll apply that instead.

I just uploaded
firefox-7.0.1-1-akita.pet - works great!
I added adblock, flashblock, betterprivacy, video downloader to the last one
but this one also uses ubuntu fonts, has ghostery addon, better settings...
(both based on Tmans firefox builds, so thanks to him)
MIME type issues: affects Akita, I guess:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=73833
Note on better support for Asian languages (or fonts at least):
