I, just by preference, want to remove the drives icons from my desktop. I run 4 partitions and I like to mount and unmount them from time to time, and I can do that within /mnt, as long as in Puppy Event Manager I have the "Show Desktop Icons for each PARTITION" box checked.
If its unchecked then I can't mount or unmount the partitions at all. It does remove all 4 partitions from the desktop, but then when I restart X one drive still pops up on the desktop. So in that instance I can't mount or unmount any partitions and there is still a drive showing on the desktop... worse than I started.
So I've figured out how to remove them from the desktop at least temporarily by going to /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin and removing these lines of code:
Code: Select all
<icon x="240" y="736" label="sda4" args="drive ext4">/tmp/pup_event_frontend/drive_sda4</icon>
<icon x="176" y="736" label="sda3" args="drive ext4">/tmp/pup_event_frontend/drive_sda3</icon>
<icon x="112" y="736" label="sda2" args="drive ext4">/tmp/pup_event_frontend/drive_sda2</icon>
<icon x="48" y="736" label="sda1" args="drive vfat">/tmp/pup_event_frontend/drive_sda1</icon>
Then I run
Code: Select all
rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
which then makes all the drives vanish from the desktop like I want! And I can still mount and unmount them from /mnt, and they stay off the desktop.
The issue is that when I reboot or restart X the PuppyPin file is rewritten and the files show back up on the desktop..
I even tried going into /tmp/pup_event_frontend/ and rename the drive_sda files.. but on reboot or restart X the names are changed back again and the problem persists.
Those are all the fixes to this problem I could find that are said to have worked on old puppy but apparently don't work now..
Any ideas?
