Fatdog64 700 alpha1

[step]

Just noticed that clicking "Edit" in YASSM share select dialog doesn't work. Command line reveals:

Code: Select all

# cd /usr/local/yassm

# ./samba-select 

(click "Edit" now)
./samba-select: line 139: leafpad: command not found

I'm also seeing this error message a lot, and since samba-select fails connecting to my shares in FD 700, I wonder if it has anything to do with it

Code: Select all

Gtk-WARNING (recursed) **: /usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-fcitx.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Note that samba-search does NOT fail connecting in FD 700. Both scripts connect just fine in FD 631.

Edit: Yap, that's what's going on. Samba-select prompts for a password using Xdialog, but the error message gets included in the password, so the connection invariably fails.
Simulating line 29 of /usr/local/yassm/samba-select reveals

Code: Select all

# PASSWORD=`Xdialog --title "YASSM" --password --inputbox Password 0 0 2>&1`
# echo $PASSWORD
Gtk-WARNING (recursed) **: /usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-fcitx.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Gtk-WARNING (recursed) **: Loading IM context type 'fcitx' failed secret

PASSWORD includes both stdin and stderr

[step]

Is it intentional for /root permission to be 711 rwx--x--x ?
This makes root inaccessible from SeaMonkey for user spot. But /root access is necessary at least to get to the YASSM mount points that are located in /root/YASSM...

@step:

1. Fatdog 700 does not have leafpad. Run:

Code: Select all

ln -s geany /usr/bin/leafpad

2. Open /usr/local/yassm/samba-select and change line 31 to:

Code: Select all

[ "$PASSWORD" = "***" ] && PASSWORD=$(Xdialog --stdout --title "YASSM" --password --inputbox Password 0 0)

Thanks rcrsn51. I can apply these work-arounds momentarily, but I think they should be fixed in the next alpha.

Still playing with xfce4-4.10, making headway with panel plugins and
have volume control,weather,and screenshot plugins working.
The root menu only has logout with other options greyed out but by
having razor-panel as well (autohide) reboot and shutdown (haven't
tried suspend) are available.
Anyway, having fun

Could you please try the test I explained here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 057#797057 Once you get past 8 tabs, try switching tabs. Does ffox switch tab right away or does ffox seem frozen?

I got the same result as you, firefox seemed to be frozen, that's with no addons installed.
With the noscript addon installed some other problems happened, like screens popping up multiple times, and other wierdness.

This makes root inaccessible from SeaMonkey for user spot.

Yes, that's the intent. We want spot very limited.

@jamesbond, pet2txz refused to convert a valid pet

James has fixed that for the next release.

I guess I could look up how to emulate a middle click, but I'll just ask, is that the same as right clicking on "Forum index" and selecting "Open Link in New Tab"?

Have you noticed this problem in other 64 bit Distros?

I'm afraid this will turn out to be a Flash problem. I assume Bill is using the binary Firefox provided by Mozilla?

Yes, I installed firefox 29.0 from the fatdog package manager, then downloaded firefox 31.0 and unpacked it in the download directory, then copied everything in that directory to /usr/lib64/firefox-29.1

So it runs as user spot as well.

EDIT: I just updated to firefox 32.0

And I agree with that. That isn't the issue. The issue is that YASSM mounts shares in /root/YASSM, so all shares effectively are inaccessible from the default FD browsing experience (save pages, download files, open local pages). That's too limiting, I think. Would you consider releasing FD with /root/YASSM as a symlink - instead of a real directory - pointing to a spot-accessible directory elsewhere, maybe:
ln -s /mnt/YASSM /root/YASSM
This would make YASSM and browsing play nicely together OOTB, with no need to patch YASSM.

I'm using SM on 700 and Firefox 29 from the repo on 631. They all have the same problem. I didn't test other 64 bit distros. I will test Studio 1337 and edit this page when I do.
Yes, kind of, middle clicking is like selecting "Open Link in New BACKGROUND Tab", but I think fore/background makes no difference in this case.

[Billtoo]

After updating firefox to 32.0 I downloaded the latest flashplugin from adobe.com and firefox doesn't freeze with 9 tabs open.

[kirk]

Yes, kind of, middle clicking is like selecting "Open Link in New BACKGROUND Tab", but I think fore/background makes no difference in this case.

I just opened 15 tabs (right click on "Forum index" and "Open Link in New Tab), no problem. The forum index just has that one little flash animation in the upper right corner. Maybe the ads are different for different markets? Anyway, we're planning on Firefox-32 and Seamonkey-2.29 along with the latest Flash 11.2 for the next release.

instead of a real directory - pointing to a spot-accessible directory elsewhere, maybe:
ln -s /mnt/YASSM /root/YASSM
This would make YASSM and browsing play nicely together OOTB, with no need to patch YASSM.

Maybe we can do something like that, not sure how much that will help. I think we might have to specify dir_mode/file_mode on the cifs mount. I don't really use YASSM, I use the samba rox app in the /root/Shares folder. Though, I think that would have the same problem with the browser accessing the shares. We'll have to give that some thought, not sure we want to give spot that much access.

You could open 15 tabs _and_ move through them nearly right away?

I just tested Studio 13.37 v1 (firefox 23.0.1) with flash 11.2.202.400 (OscarTalk's pet on smokey01). I could easily open 40 tabs of the index page. No issues whatsoever.
Boy, that Studio 13.37 is snappy!

[rcrsn51]

YASSM honours the Fatdog philosophy of being multi-user, so it always mounts shares in $HOME/YASSM. That will not change.

So step has two choices: Set his browser to run as root or put Fatdog in multi-user mode and login as spot.

I have attached an upgrade to YASSM.

[Edit] No reply on this? I guess that it's not a very high priority.

Kirk , James

Apparently Firefox now sends users browsing habits straight to google by default so i don't know if you want to disable it for user privacy as explained in the above URL?

[Bindee]

Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia card"
Driver "nouveau"
Option "GLXVBlank" "true"
EndSection



Ok just had a quick play with 700a and i'm loving it but i now have the original problem of ripple and glitches on browser scroll , flashplayer and VLC playback that 631 had with a standard install.

Where do i create the above " 20-nouveau.conf " in 700 so i can try Vblank with the nouveau drivers before trying Nvidia proprietary drivers Vblank or the pipeline fix?

Thanks

[kirk]

Where do i create the above " 20-nouveau.conf " in 700

/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/

[Gobbi]

Just got home and started using my main desktop.
First try on it with Fatdog 700a1 and I noticed a very positiv thing .
Both audio adapters were recognized and choosing my Radeon card audio adapter made possible ( after the usual unmute in Alsa Mixer ) having sound over HDMI without installing AMD videodriver
I consider this an important achievment Thank you kirk & jamesbond for continuing improve Fatdog

Thanks Kirk , i'll give it a go and report back over the weekend.

@Billtoo

How did you install Firefox 32 ?


Thanks

[Billtoo]

@Billtoo
ow did you install Firefox 32 ?
Thanks

First install firefox 29.1 with Gslapt Package Manager.
Then download firefox 32.0 from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/

I unpacked firefox-32.0.tar.bz2 in the Downloads directory then copied
everything to the /usr/lib64/firefox-29.1 directory (deleted everything
in the firefox-29.1 directory first)
