Just compiled the GUI front end. Looks pretty good. Now it would be superb if you could either make an applet out of this or have some kind of live stat-monitoring panel like the GParted rescue CD.

Speaking of which, it would be fantastic if you included GParted in the GRUB menu. Something like:

-Overclockix main
-Overclokix rescue
-GParted tools
-Memtest

Right now, the menu is populated by live-build. I guess that could be done but I am not sure how to add specific menu items for gparted. I also don't quite see the point since it is just in the System > Administration menu unless someone knows how that is done so I don't have to go looking on how to do it.

These sorts of requests are better suited for the custom apps thread. I suppose I could dig around for how to make an applet. I probably could also reproduce this functionality in my own program as well
 
Stratus_ss, I am checking out the dev build I created (see main thread) and it looks like there were some issues. In the shred_64 build, it was missing the 'shred_gui.desktop' file:

root@athena:/tmp/shred_gui_64# ./setup.py
cp: cannot stat `shred_gui.desktop': No such file or directory

Looks like the file you have included in the .tar.gz file is 'shred_ui.desktop'.

Also, it looks like there is some sort of issue with the aptitude_64 installer:

root@athena:/tmp/aptitude_64# ./setup.py
File "./setup.py", line 22
print "moving other files", file
SyntaxError: default 'except:' must be last
root@athena:/tmp/aptitude_64#
Click to expand...
 
I am also getting some similar issues with aptitude_32:

root@athena:/tmp/aptitude_32# ./setup.py
File "./setup.py", line 22
print "moving other files", file
SyntaxError: default 'except:' must be last
root@athena:/tmp/aptitude_32#
Click to expand...

shred_gui_32 seems to be working fine though.


*edit: also, there are temp files in the archives (ending in ~). probably added by whatever text editor you are using.
 
I am downloading teh dev image now. I will look into it and get it fixed.
And ya the (~) is created by gedit
 
I think I have adjusted the shred files as well

Checked and shred_gui_32 works fine
For shred_gui_64, the .desktop file is still named 'shred_ui.desktop' instead of 'shred_gui.desktop' so it isn't being copied to /usr/share/applications/

*edit: err, let me check to make sure I replaced the .tar.gz in my sources directory :chair:
*edit part 2: ah ok, I see what happened. The tar.gz in post #48 isn't correct. The updated ones are in post #49 (2 posts up from this one)
 
ah... in post 48, I linked the wrong files... ment to link the aptitude files
 
hopefully I have uploaded the aptitude files this time :D

Would there be any interest out there for a Squid front end?
Or at least something that would generate a squid config?
I have purchased Kalbur Saini's Squid Proxy Server 3.1 which I am finding quite useful, and I am relatively sure I could make a Squid config generator
 
This isn't exactly a custom app request, but I was wondering if you could create an icon that would be added to the gnome menu for mprime (currently found in /opt). I would just need to add it to the customizations to have it be automatically installed.
 
When I do a 'which mprime' I get the following
Code: 
/usr/local/bin/mprime
But as you said, its also in /opt/mprime
which do you want the shortcut to point to?
 
One bundled and tested launcher with icon (under system tools)
