Is the xorg used in Saluki a later version that one used in Fluppy? I tested Fluppy on 6 laptops today at a retailer...and neigther xorg or vesa worked?

Thanks
Thom

Hi !

Nice work !

If it's not a secret, I like to know how did you get to show drives on the desktop.
I would do the same for pcmanfm.
I tried with "drive_all" and "rox" in / usr / local / bin, but that's not enough, other files are they concerned ?

Thanks & have a nice day !

For the Xfce4 window manager (Saluki's default) rightclick on an empty area of the desktop.
From the context menu choose 'Desktop Settings...'.
Click the 'Icons' tab in the displayed dialog box.
From there you can choose 'Filesystem' and 'Removable Devices'.

Synergy and quicksynergy are in the Saluki package manager or look here http://smokey01.com/saluki/pet_packages-saluki/

Thank you for your answer, but I'm trying another puppy with xfce and I can not get the partitions on my desktop, as does rox & JWM.
I would like, if possible, apply the same method as Saluki.

Therefore, I tried to edit 'rox' and 'drive_all' in / usr / local / bin but this has no effect.

Does lack of other components ?

Thanks !

In Saluki I used the following:
menu, control panel, desktop, scroll down to "XFCE desktop drive icons"
Of course, I don't know how the control panel actually makes the changes...
It may also be helpful to post the same question on the Puppy NOP 5.2.2 topic as well. It uses xfce also, and has the partitions displayed on the desktop by default. See here:

Hello!

Thank you for your answer! I tried, without success, I relied on these changes yet.
But ...
I'll keep looking.

Good question; i'm in for that answer too. I don't think the font is ugly, but I would like to know how to customize it for sure...

**Edit: I bet it's got something to do with the file /usr/share/pixmaps/loading.xbm (open it with gimp or something) but I don't know what uses it and how to customize it.

**Edit again: I further guess that its the line in /root/.xinitrc that mentions loading.xbm, but I haven't tried it so can't swear to it. So, if someone either wants to modify that line to a different image or wants to modify the image, boot it up and tell us what happens...do it with something you can damage if it screws up though. steve_s claims no responsibility, disclaimer, for lost or damaged files, disclaimer, disclaimer...

I know gimp opens that image just fine.

Thanks for the tip Steve.

I loaded up /usr/share/pixmaps/loading.xbm in Gimp and just deleted the existing loading message replacing it with my own. Rebooted, and it appeared good as gold.

I didn't bother editing .xinitrc because having a file called "loading" seemed logical enough for its purpose, but your theory seems sound if anyone would have need to change the location of the loading splash screen

I've tried to catch up on added apps to the repo. Let me know if I've missed anything.

1. Tried Luki-021.iso
Made a "live" CD-RW that booted OK, and Saluki looked good, and seemed to be working well.
This is on a brand-new low-cost [£245] PC with mobo = ASRock H61M-S.
Dual core Intel Pentium G620T 2.2Ghz, 4GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM, 250GB SATA HDD, DVD-RW.

2. Made the necessary configurations, and rebooted.
Made a lukisave.3fs, and saved 3 SFS files, all to sda5/saluki folder.

3. At reboot, got the warning = "Machine Check Error", and the PC went into a reboot loop.

I'd never seen that error before on any PC.

4. Prepared to invest some effort to get Saluki working, provided it isn't a major task, because I have working already...Slacko-5.3.3.1-SCSI, Racy-5.3, Fatdog64-600rc.

Is there an easy fix?

ICPUG · #3398 Post by **ICPUG** » Tue 03 Jul 2012, 12:31

Hmmm - Not sure I'd blame Saluki for Machine Check Error. A quick google came up with:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=129838

Somebody else had an ASRock mobo on that thread ...

Sweet!

Yeah, I couldn't wait, so I tried both. You can edit that image, but it needs to be the same format and i was only able to get a black and white image working. But I may have to come up with some variances and post them here.

Also editing /root/.xinitrc works, just by changing the name of the file/pointing it to the new file you may have created.

Finally, in xfce one can change the boot 'splash' image. You'll notice that if you run xfce4-session-settings (pretty sure that is the one) one of the tabs is 'splash' and you can change that as you want as well. It is set to 'none' but you'll notice that jemimah has customized the mouse boot image (customize button) and picked a saluki logo/icon. You can of course pick your own image and change background colors and all kinds of things.

Combining the splash variances and the loading.xbm image you can make one seriously modified, custom variation if you want.

The one-and-ONLY time I EVER get that error...
Is AFTER the 1st boot of Saluki...
When I reboot for the 1st time...
And after making the lukisave file...
When it attempts the 2nd boot using the lukisave and 3 SFS files in the folder, in the root folder, on the ext3 partition [sda5].

Otherwise, this brand-new hardware is working flawlessly.
In particular with Slacko-5.3.3.1-SCSI.
