Re: How to get desktop floppy icon?

You could mount /dev/fd0 to /mnt/fd0, drag /mnt/fd0 to the desktop and then set the icon of /mnt/fd0 to something like /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/floppy48.png

Re: What is the Install Folder's Variable Name?



How can I get the variable name of that install folder (called dpupbw6410.0.9 here) so it can be more generic for the different versions made?


Try
du -sb /mnt/home $PSUBDIR /dpupbw64save/ | awk '{print strftime( "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"), " \t" $1}' >> /mnt/home/savefolder.log

Re: Is undelete possible?

I do not know how anyone can tell if a program can run from the GUI or in terminal. This has not been explained to me.

Start all programs from a terminal, if a gui pops up, it has a gui. If not, it doesn't.
Also if something doesn't work right, it will generally spit out errors.

Re: Does anyone have a fix for the right-click file handling error in Rox?

Why would you left click on an item to select it and then right click on some other item to bring up the right click menu?


if I (right)click a .txt file and choose "Open As Text" , close it, then (right)click another .txt file and choose "Open As Text", it will open the orginal .txt file again.

Re: Does anyone have a fix for the right-click file handling error in Rox?

This happens to me on my old puppy-4.10 server.
If a file is selected and then I right click on a different file, the original file is still the active one.
I have learned to click into an empty space in rox before right clicking another file.

I do not have this issue on newer pups.

If you don't need the find command, rox rename will do it for you. You'll need to do it twice.

in rox, select > all, then, right-click, choose rename

Re: SwapSet-v1.0_noarch....set your swappiness level wherever you want

I am trying this in Vanilla Dpup 9.3.14

It fired up and I set it to 60 and it seems to work but......

When I check it, I get this:

Code: Select all

~#cat /etc/sysctl.conf
vm.swappiness = 60

and this:

Code: Select all

~$ cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
45

Do you know the difference and which one is actually working?
