Pizza Pup--won't boot

something about TTY Job.

Is it a bad download, or am I missing something? I just wanted to try it out.


"cannot find puppy on 'idecd' boot media'

TTY job turned off. (or something like that)

And pizza is my favorite food. :)

It works on my laptop, but not newer desktop.

shutdown reboot and screenoff scripts

Can I have a script for shutdown, reboot, and screenoff?



Or would they work with Pschedule? Don't matter if it does, though. Just playing.

Thanks.

Strange things happen. Maybe it's because it had the wrong version of pup sfs. :?: (4.20 instead of 4.21 saved to HD)

I think it's fixed now, but I cannot be sure. I am using the flash drive and it seems to release it.

Finally figured it out. When upgrading to 4.21 from 4.20, it would not put the 4.21 SFS file where 4.20 was. So I had to do it manually. Now it will let go of my uSB drive (not mounted)

Edit: It still warns of the USB drive not being unplugged, so I edited it back out.

Things are fine for now. :D

Yes. I use Pupsave to save to a USB Hard Drive.

There is no need to keep the CD or USB thumb drive plugged in, but it won't won't let go. :?

If you don't have a pupsave (pfix=RAM, or first boot), AND you see the purple message that the puppy SFS file is copied to RAM, then Puppy isn't really using the boot media. You can just type "umount /dev/xxx" in the console and it will unmount. Just pulling it out? Not sure what will hap...

My 2 cents: 1. When a question is asked, it is assumed that the person posing the question knows the inner workings of Puppy (the answers are too confusing sometimes) 2. If a person cannot figure it out, a lot of times the person is treated like a dummy. 3. I am no Puppy pro in any sense of the word...

I got 2GB of RAM. So that is not an issue. :)

BTW, just out of curiosity, what would happen if I took out my USB stick? Would it corrupt Puppy?

I won't do it, but wondering is all.

Well, like I said, I'll just have to live with it until there is an official update, if any. (or patch, or anything) An intentional feature, which is working as intended, is not likely to get patched. But it's easy enough to 'fix' if you don't like it. I did not actually mean the popup, but the fac...

I looked, but I could not understand it. I have to know What I am modifying and where it its. I tried umount, but it said it could not unmount, resource was busy. Either I'll have to wait for an update, or live with it. (The fact my CD drive was running all the time was the reason I stuck Puppy 3.21...
