Personal preference - I hate pmount.

I would like to get MUT running.

I have copied the files across to /usr/lib/mut from my 3.01 LiveCD.

I have set up the desktop information in /usr/share/applications the same as in 3.01 but it does not appear to run.

If I type mut in the console I only get the drive types, capacities and the number of partitions shown in the console.

This MUt, or, that a typo? Turn your Ubuntu repos on and two versions of the latter are there.

I'd get rid of what'cha copied first. MacPup *includes* a menu maker.

MUT as in Mount Unmount Tool is what I want to install.

To be honest, run the vanilla 5.28 if it isn't too heavy..

Progress - well sort of.

I find that if I click on /usr/lib/mut/disks.tcl MUT opens and works as expected albeit much slower than in 3.01.

However if I try to run it from within the menu but trying to fake it that it is in the console i.e.

exec /usr/bin/urxvt -e disks.tcl (in the desktop setup)

nothing happens.

Similarly if I try to create a desktop icon using the same parameters nothing happens - to be expected really!

Any ideas?

I installed mut-29dec06.pet, and it definitely works from the menu of macpup-528...that is with the tcl_tk_games.sfs sfs_loaded as mentioned in your freecell thread.

Thank you. Where/how did you find the .pet?

From puppy v3 ibiblio repository...here.

Page is now bookmarked.

Thank you.

If I run "mut" from the console I get:

This probably means that tk wasn't installed properly.

I used to prefer MU's MUT too.

However, it is coded in tcl/tk so requires that to be part of the Puppy if MUT is to run. I think tcl/tk went out of favour with devs around 4.x although Whodo put it back into the very excellent 4.3.1.

@ICPUG, Something to keep in mind.

Thank you.

Not in the 4.3.1 I downloaded. Still haven't ironed out some of the issues but freecell (subject of another thread) and MUT work in it as expected - after some effort.

I am surprised to see that CPU use is a lot higher than 3.01.

Sorry Mercedes350se - it was 4.2.1 NOT 4.3.1 that Whodo created with TCL/TK. Just reading another thread triggerred my recognition of the mistake.

Note that 4.2.1 had a lot more bling than some people liked - but it had a lot of other good things too.

That was a bit of a slip because 4.3.1 was back in Barry's hands and I was none too happy at the time because some of the good things of 4.2.1 had gone! I think the MUT in 4.3.1 is a development of MU's MUT. I seem to recall PMount having the ability to work in native mode or use the MUT engine but this is a long time ago so my memory may have faded - hence my quoting an incorrect version number of Whodo's masterpiece!

No worries!

A few minutes download, a few minutes CD burn and another Puppy to try.

I should add that both freecell and MUT installed and work (in 4.3.1).

Another few minutes here and there and a frugal install of the "vanilla" 5.2.8 and it works.
