Pupsaveconfig isn't giving me the save interval option like it did in Carolina or Saluki.

Ya, I knew they were different versions. In Saluki or Carolina is doesn't matter which version, it gives me the interval option. In lite, no matter which version it doesn't.

Edit:

Boot without save file. Install v2.2.2, make save file. Reboot, no interval option.

Boot without save file. Install v2.2.5, make save file. Reboot, no interval option.

Thanks Geoffrey, it's was in mode 12. I'm using a sata frugal install, I changed isolinux.cfg to pmedia=ataflash and it's working now.

I added CD support to the rules. In order to do so I had to create a script, cddetect_xfce and run it from the rules. Put it in /sbin with the other cddetect scripts. Data cds only shown on the panel mounter. Pet attached for testing (this is the lite and wild side). It has the rules for both USB and CD.

Edited: Runs ok on my remastered Saluki023 also. It would be interesting to see how it does on Grays latest xfce4.10 NOP. I'll try that eventually but it means retrieving my sole PAE laptop. Back up first or just ignore the nag about overwriting existing 60-fstabd.rules. No changes made to pmount, desktop mount, or thunar, only to fstab filling used by the xfce4 panel mount plugin.

Edited: No go with Precise based NOP. fstab and fstab support gone in Precise, so xfce panel mount shows only devices mounted via desktop or pmount. Pretty quick look and back to the OK corral.

Edited: updated to version 002. More reliable creation of /mnt/sr?

Edited: Implemented as pure UDEV rules, no script, same action. Arrached below.

Edited: Pure rules now version 004. same action as 003.

I've updated the lina_xfce-4.10.pet in the repo with this. It certainly works better than the rule-set that was included. It may not be perfect as of yet, but it is progress. Also, with the update, when building a new adrive via the custom-builder, the panel mount plugin should now display no error, and allow mounting as well as un-mounting. I've also added a re-compiled notifyd, so that notifications should be working.

I'm done now. Had a lot of chilling out time with the dermatologists so... Version 002 and 003 should work identically. In one sense 003 is simpler as no extra script is needed, but it galled me to have to put cd detection routines in the rules in 003 but NO udev attributes distinguish disk/nodisk/data/audio and it's not friendly passing variables. UGH

Nice to be be back to Saluki/Carolina land after my brief visit to Precise, even a Grayed Precise. Polished!

PS. on blacklisting filesystems in the panel mounter, It won't do wildcards so the list has to be /dev/fd0 /dev/loop0 /dev/loop1 . .. up to loop5 for me.

Gvfs-smb seem to break something in thunar. After install and restart x, thunar takes over 20 seconds to open and network is missing from the side pane. Using go>network from the menu bar gives network error. After uninstall thunar remains broken, back up your save file first if you try it.

Gvfs-smb works in carolina-003 though, which I am assuming is using the same lina_xfce-4.10.

Noticed that Run Program... shows up both in the system menu body and in the Utilities menu. In my case I don't use either so I appended NoDisplay=true to the end of BOTH Run Program... desktop files in /usr/share/applications to hide them. Also moved Save to the main menu body since I run with an iconless desktop. Small'tings

And a big HURRAH for the non-nested main menu in 'lina vs the 'traditional' pup menu in precise etc. Can't think of anything offhand I can't get to faster with it.

Hello elroy and Geoffrey,

Nice job in 'lina lite. I thought I'd give it a spin on my compaq-cq-60, intel cantiga graphics and it performs well from an USB install.

I didn't find a text editor.. (oh, you have MP) but I just think Leafpad would be a nice touch, or even MP with gtk. Of course I realise your goal is minimum apps so a user can customise. I guess you can ignore my request at will!

Just a slight OT, can you point me to the latest frisbee package you use please?

Thanks.

To be able to mount internal drives using the panel mounter that have not previously been mounted via thunar/desktop using pup-volume-monitor. use the following as the custom mount command in the xfce panel mounter:

elroy, I was comparing this pet with the i486 one wrt thunar icons and noticed that the rules.d directory is directly in /etc. It should be /etc/udev/rules.d/60-fstabd.rules. Pure udev rules updated to version 004 in above attachment. All versions work the same.
