#13 Re: Question: Building Accessible Desktop Systems Posted by Anonymous (203.122.xx.xx) on Thu 14 Jul 2005 at 12:06 You got a chuckle out of me for the "my computer" icon. I looked at rox filer for my sis (also moved to debian on a p450), then decided on xfe which seems a little more elegant. YMMV. For mounting/unmounting/datadumping the finepix camera over usb, I made a bunch of simple scripts in /usr/local/bin called finepixmount, finepixumount and finepixdump that I call from the ice menu. Select finepixmount from the menu, and a box pops up saying something like "mounting camera - wait" printing out out dots to indicate progress, and the box disappears when the camera is definitely mounted. Pretty user-friendly. The box pops up for finepixmount because I am really executing rxvt in the icemenu when selecting the menu item "FinePix Mounter". rxvt in turn executes the actual finepixmount script: Here's what I have in my .icewm/menu file for that: prog "FinePix Mounter" rxvt rxvt +sb -geometry 113x29+-1+-1 -title "FPMounter" -bg grey9 -cr green -fg white -fn 9x15 -sl 500 -n "FPMounter" -e sudo /usr/local/bin/finepixmount (the finetuning for the geometry etc makes the rxvt box small and neat). The finepixmount script at its core loops around grep -q "Attached: Yes" /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/0 2>/dev/null once a second, printing a "." each time, until it finds that the grep is indeed true. Mebbe you could try something based on that sort of loop to handle your unmount problem.
