Sorry, can't get it to work. Running from a terminal gives this message:# wbar
/usr/share/pixmaps/wbar/osxbarback.png Image not found. Maybe using a relative path?

The image is present, although it's just a faint outline of a rectangle. Tried renaming a different icon, no change. Hope we can get it to work, it will be a fine addition.
Hi Jim, I tested it with and without a save file and it worked fine.
After installing the pet and copying the wbar file to the Startup folder I restarted x and wbar showed up on the right side of the screen.
By clicking the first icon (top icon if the bar is vertical) you configure wbar and right clicking on a highlited item lets you edit that selection, you can also add new items.
Sorry but I don't know why it won't work for you.
It will not open at all. Could be a conflict with an installed program. I'll wait and check it out with a3.
Thanks,
Jim

Jim have you tried it with pfix=ram? that will eliminate installed programs.

I had not, and when I did, wbar worked. I'll still wait on finding where the conflict is.

I notice only a few of the apps and icons line up with FD.

If I get time I might pull the PET apart and fix that so it at least matches the default installation.

I would be interested to know what the conflict is.

Cheers

Suitably modified (trimmed a little bit, update wbar.conf etc) - and uploaded to the pet repo. Thanks Bill.

Huh? :shock: I've got the correct locale here, where whether I choose en_AU or en_AU.UTF-8. What's the content of your $HOME/.fatdog/language?

Code: Select all

# cat $HOME/.fatdog/language
Australia
# 
That was using your tool to set it today. For days I didn't bother setting locale or timezone. I was getting weird warnings about locale when compiling some stuff.

EDIT: :oops: user error! didn't see the arrow and just clicked "Australia"... :lol:

Code: Select all

# cat $HOME/.fatdog/language
en_AU

Sorry mories, it's english only.
I have uploaded glibc_locale-non-English pet that enables non-English locales to a certain degree. But as kirk said, Fatdog is officially English-only. We can't test / fix non-English locale problems. Many applications have their *.mo files removed for for size reasons; same for those applications in the pet repository as well.

:?: :?: Can't reproduce here, do you mind adding tracing the script (make the first line "#!/bin/ash -x") and run it from terminal to see the output?

I mean re-run the set locale script ... that's /usr/sbin/fatdog-choose-locale.sh ?

Ahh this is not user error, this is because the application is not resilient enough. I'll try to make it more resilient (going to be hardwork, there are a few of these kind of apps :oops: )

I also did a little work on the Wbar icons. They are now more applicable to FatDog and I have also added a font.

Because there are a few more icons it's a little fatter.

:) Thanks for add some support for non-english locale.

Some little bugs uncovered.

If I install "slim" login manager it seems that the drive icons don't show up. I traced it to the "get_USER" function and I got USER=

Naturally the script exited. For now I just replaced xinit with init, as that is where it was failing for me, drive icons returned. There was no xinit process listed in the output of "ps -eo user,comm" :?

Also, if slim is installed it breaks anything that is called with user spot. I guess you knew that :) .

-

Symlink /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.0 is missing, sven daemon complains but sven still works, maybe just not 100%.

Yes. Slim does not use xinit to launch X server, it launched xinitrc directly. I replaced "xinit" with "freememappletd".
Also, if slim is installed it breaks anything that is called with user spot. I guess you knew that :) .
Yes, same comment above. This is because slim runs the X server with security enabled (using .Xauthority file), thus simply changing user to spot will not work because spot does not have the required "cookie". Again, this is fixed in the next release (where the spot scripts pass the authority file to spot before doing su).

Slim isn't really supported for alpha2 - it will be supported fully in the next release (or from the current trunk build).
Symlink /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.0 is missing, sven daemon complains but sven still works, maybe just not 100%.
I need to look at this ... anyway what does sven have to do with regular expression library? odd :roll:

Here to help
No update is needed. Fatdog can be pxe-booted directly from ISO image. My syslinux.cfg/default file looks like this:

Code: Select all

default fatdog

label fatdog
kernel memdisk
initrd test.iso
append iso raw
