Ymount 002
Menu -- Ymount under Filesystem
Hi sheldonisaac,
Sorry sheldonisaac I don't have Ymount on this system.
But having run into Menu problems from time to time, perhaps the following might help:
You mentioned that ymount's executable was /bin/ymount. Click that file to be sure it will start ymount. [Typing ymount in a console will start it if it's anywhere on what Puppy recognizes as the executable path]. If not, search for other instances of what may be ymount executable, browse to it/them and test to find which one actually starts the program.
Open ymount.desktop in geany or some other text editor. You'll be interested in three of its arguments.
Make sure "Exec=" points to ymount's real executable (or a symlink to it). Note the absence of spaces after the "="'s.
Make sure "Icon=" points to an icon which actually exists.
Change Categories= from whatever it is now to
Categories=X-FilesystemUtility.
Restart X.
Hope this helps.

I repackaged the pet.
The "desktop" files were at the top "/" level instead of in /usr/share/applications.
Should be in your menu now.

Please test with CD/DVD (I have got none)
Are there floppy drives anywhere?
Next version will have free space for mounted partitions, here is a preview
sda1: more free then size
size is taken from fdisk
free is taken from df
Code needs some optimazing before posting

Thanks for showing interest in this.8-bit wrote:I noticed the ymount-0.5.png image shows free space as a column.
But when I downloaded ymount-0.4.pet that seems to be missing and ymount-0.5.pet seems unavailable.
Is it still in the works?
Or is there a link to be able to get it as I like the option of having free space displayed.
It is still in the works.
Should it display space K or M or G or configurable?

L18L,
Thank you! It just seems to be more complete with the addition of a free space column.
If one is looking to mount a drive/partition with intention of doing a backup to it, the free space column would tell if there was enough room for the backup.
I have had my pupsave overflow from a download going to it rather than /mnt/home and I wonder what would happen if an overflow occured on writing to a partition.
Evidently, Puppy needs work in how it handles that situation.

So I am waiting for your good test.stu90 wrote:Hi L18L,
Thanks for the Ymount update and sorry for the late reply ( been playing with woof and dpup over the weekend ) yes this is what i had in mind, i have work this afternoon so will give Ymount a good test later this evening.
cheers.
Don't hesitate to note everything that can be improved (syntax, grammar, icons )
Hi L18L,
Initial test of version 0.5 on lucid 526 RC frugal install - individual windows for drives works ok - having everything one window has some kind of formating problem fo me and i am unable to mount/unmount the usb drives sdb1 sdc1
Looking in Gparted i notice i have 2.49 MiB of unallocated space, could this be the problem?
cheers.

Hi stu90,
thanks for testing
Looking single drives: I have unallocated space everywhere, too.
The corrupted output might come from any error message. Did you run ymount from command line?
Another problem, solution reserved for Iguleder, is the /initrd/mnt/dev_save. We know you cannot mount or unmount it but the resulting error messages are confusing.
Anyway version 0.6 is ready!
Using the output of df command it is very fast though having added functionality.
Mounted partitions are listed first.
The other partitions appended.
You can select for mount or unmount before the listing has finished.
Sorting columns is very handy and fast.
Testers needed for CD/DVD (and floppy drives?)
Have fun

G'day,
Just quickly tried ymount-0.6 on my desktop. Two hard drives each with 15 partitions (three primary and one fully subdivided extended on each). Two optical drives. An external USB 1TB drive of 4 partitions can be added, with several more USB ports around the computer.
Problem 1: sdb lists first 10 partitions by name plus details but remaining partitions just have details - name column is empty. sda OK although the extended partition type is called "unknown" with no total size listed, just 0. Swap partition not listed.
Problem 2: optical drives both listed (sr0 & sr1) but I could not mount a disk in sr0 even with two lines named sr0 and a blank line beneath to try. Clicking on sr0 listed in the first screen had given a new box with an extra sr0 and a blank line beneath. Got message to click on the partition I wished to mount but this message just repeated with clicking <Mount>. Double clicking the sr0 line and ymount disappeared (crashed). Clicking the top-right corner X did not close ymount during the sr0 tests. Same with sr1.
Haven't yet tried any of the USB ports.
Certainly ymount is very quick and has a scroll bar so listings on over-indulged computers like this one aren't lost off the bottom of the screen.
Should be very good by version 1.0.

David,
thanks for testing.
Problem1, I have set up an USB stick containing logical partitions and I am going to fix that. Not showing swap partition is intended
Problem2, the list seems to me messed by errors of problem1.
Thanks again for reporting

Tried version 0.6, using it with spup, it has promise, however, it fails to recognize all my partitions so it still has some fatal flaws. As seen on the included image, it fails to recognize two partitions, sdb7 and sdb8.

Jim1911,
thank you for reporting
Here is bugfix version 0.6.1
Mounted partitions are listed first.
The other partitions appended.
You can select for mount or unmount before the listing has finished.
Sorting columns is very handy and fast.
Testers needed for CD/DVD (and floppy drives?)
For error reports please start it from command line and send any messages appearing there.
davids45,
please report if problem2 still exists.
Thank you

Partitions on drive sdb are still not reported correctly. This is using puppy squeeze 5.0.0.3. Report shown by pmount is correct with the exception of a floppy drive that is not present (no disk was present in sr0 when image-2 was made). USB and DVD drives are presented correctly by ymount in image-3. Starting from command line produced no error reports.
