You can update (refresh) the contents of some individual widgets, like <entry> or <tree> , but not widgets themselves, in the sense of replacing them. Unless you prepare the (hidden) parts of GUI beforehand and then show them (hiding the previous ones) on user action, or something like that. But it ...

The real mystery is how erasing =.* transforms /sys/fs/aufs/si_627cabd53966b79d/br0 into /aufs/pup_rw

In the above code sed works on files (their contents), not filenames.

According to https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup ... Privileges this might work:

Code: Select all

sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip /usr/sbin/tcpdump

I was able to start Virtualbox after installing krb5, but Virtualbox now fails to load virtual machines which were working from the savefile system. There's something wrong with VBox 7. One of my VMs (FD-813) doesn't boot, but the other (Win XP) does. For this user nothing boots, unless it's a newl...

Can you post your syslinux line that tries to load a differently-named basesfs? This works: append rootfstype=ramfs autoswap savefile=none dofsck basefs=expand:/mnt/sda3/boot/813/fd64.sfs but this would not: append rootfstype=ramfs autoswap savefile=none dofsck basefs=expand:/mnt/sda3/boot/fd64-813...

[I moved your post to a separate thread.] "Booting..." as in "Booting the kernel"? That message comes from the kernel itself: # strings vmlinuz | grep -i booting Booting the kernel. long before processing the savefile by sysinit script, even before loading fd64.sfs , which is in...

I use this in my syslinux.cfg:

Code: Select all

LABEL MEMTEST
MENU LABEL Memtest
LINUX /memtest

My memtest binary is in the root directory of the boot partition.

This is weird. Can you reproduce it in Leafpad?

Also, type xev in terminal and press Shift + an arrow key.
For Shift+Right I get state 0x11, keycode 114 (keysym 0xff53, Right).

Greetings!

Which is better on the memory card, ext2 or exfat? Depends what you mean by "better". If it comes for increasing efficiency and extending the life span of flash memory devices, filesystems specifically designed/optimized for it, like EXFAT and F2FS, will be better. For me "better&quo...

JakeSFR

If you're booting from a USB device or your savefile is on it, you may need to use the waitdev boot option, e.g.: waitdev=5 (https://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/web/faqs/boot-options.html). Personally I don't do remastering, but IIRC, the remastered ISO has only one boot entry, so if the above works, ...

What would be the best way to detect the executed binary? Something like ps aux | grep sshd?

Even simpler: pidof sshd

Greetings!

I did notice an anomaly in session-save to folder where the 'base' for the "multisession" failed in writing to disk while its subsequent companion was written without error??? I tried in VBox and both file were created successfully. Was it one-time occurence or is it reproducible? There w...

The filesystem is ext4 on ext4 and I also made a backup disk with ext4 on ext2. The encrypted sparse file occupies a full 4GB. Aren't sparse files supposed to be small and then grow up to the designated size? Kinda, they're just created quickly, because all the repeating bytes are not really being ...

I copied the working save file to the sd card I was using earlier then booted some systems with an external usb sd card reader. There must be a problem with the new pny usb drive I am using because the system runs at a reasonable speed from the usb routed sd card which is very old. Ok, one down. Co...

I didn't dd from the iso. Rather, I dd from the usb-boot-mbr.img as described here. https://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/web/faqs/uefi-flashdrive2.html Ok, so the fix-usb.sh has no use here. Yes, I did press enter after typing the password, but nothing happened. The light on the drive didn't flash and...

I have browsed the forum and this thread was the closest topic I found. Have you read this thread, at least first few replies? After installing fatdog on a usb using the dd method so that efi and mbr booting will theoretically work I booted the system. Once booted I changed the background image and...

Not sure if that has any critical implications or if there is a solution to run openvpn completely unprivileged. This might help, although it looks complicated: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/UnprivilegedUser I guess you could also try starting the VPN (as root) in /etc/rc.d/rc.local , ...

sudo modprobe tun works for me for a non-root user, but there were some changes to the sudo script, so maybe that's why.

Anyway, you can always use the /etc/modules file - you'll find instructions inside of it.

Greetings!

JakeSFR

It's a core script, a part of fatdog-scripts package.

The split option has been on my TODO list from almost the beginning, but as far as I can remember, I think I needed to split an archive maybe once in my life, which is why I've never found enough motivation to actually implement it. And given that PackIt is a pretty complicated script and its codeba...

[Original thread: https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=89211] Unlike UExtract , PackIt is not intended to be an ultimate (i.e. millions of supported formats) tool. But it's designed to be simple yet flexible. Just take a look at the screenshot - I hope no usage instructions are necessary...

Thanks @JakeSFR. The mentioned cli tools are exactly what I was looking for. Great! I am not sure if there are any alternative to 7zip for file encryption. 7zip seems to leave files unencrypted in temporary storage, which has been criticized: https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/bugs/1448/ Are there ...

JakeSFR

When in RAM mode, all changes are stored in /aufs/pup_rw dir, so any tool that can browse/view filesystem will do the job.

Yeah, this is really weird. I think you should carefully examine the symlinks as they are now . Perhaps something's changed/broken them (a suspect: build-rox-sendto script). Speaking of which - what if you install UExtract, the original PET as well as yours, with /usr/sbin/build-rox-sendto set to be...

How does this work in FatDog? Install openvpn and openresolv packages, and download this script: https://github.com/alfredopalhares/openvpn-update-resolv-conf/blob/master/update-resolv-conf.sh Make it executable and put it in /etc/openvpn dir. You may also want to remove the .sh extension, because ...

It appears that the pinstall.sh script doesn't create the right click links for ROX. The script is run. I ran it in the terminal to see what would happen. But nothing occurred (see image....) If you want to run UExtract's pinstall.sh script manually, you need to invoke it from / directory for it to...
