BarryK:

I put together with help from the web, a mouse and keyboard reset and made a menu entry under Utility called Reset Mouse and Keyboard. If you F12 and arrow down to choose, it should reset the mouse without rebooting. Feel free to adopt as needed....

#!/bin/bash
Xdialog -center -title "Mouse Reset" --no-buttons -infobox "USB mouse resetting now..." 0 0 3000
mousie=`lsusb|grep -i "mouse"`
bus1=$(echo $mousie | awk 'BEGIN {FS=" " }{print $2}')
device1=$(echo $mousie | awk 'BEGIN {FS=" " }{print $4}')
device2=$(echo $device1 | awk 'BEGIN {FS=":" }{print $1}')
usbreset /dev/bus/usb/$bus1/$device2 &&
Xdialog -center -title "Keyboard Reset" --no-buttons -infobox "Keyboard resetting now..." 0 0 3000
keyboard1=`lsusb|grep -i "keyboard"`
bus2=$(echo $keyboard1 | awk 'BEGIN {FS=" " }{print $2}')
device1b=$(echo $keyboard1 | awk 'BEGIN {FS=" " }{print $4}')
device2b=$(echo $device1b | awk 'BEGIN {FS=":" }{print $1}')
usbreset /dev/bus/usb/$bus2/$device2b &&
Xdialog -center -title "USB Resets Completed" --no-buttons -infobox "USB resets completed..." 0 0 2000

USB mouse can repeatedly trigger interrupts
- it must do this because it's an 'hot-pluggable (unpluggable) device", although some of the early v1.1 were not entirely reliably h-p. USB is sometimes claimed to be just a direct development of the PS/2 plug with hot-pluggability. Like all things in this field, early adopters will always encounter early flaws and oversights in the technology! Some keyboards were claimed to be USB or PS/2, some were supplied with an 'adapter' - most of the early 'adapters' didn't work, although some of the dual-purpose k/b s did actually work.
As for Easy32, bit of another catch-22. Loads of 'old' 32bit kit, BIOS-only, were not able to boot to an USB fob or SD card. Various SW utilities were offered to achieve this but for non-SW literaties like YT these weren't always easy to operate, esp. as some require a FDD as well and these are/were a disappearing feature. ipso facto, - thanks for the 32bit offering, very grateful, but generally speaking an .iso might be more reliable on anything over 5yrs old? Seem to remember an .iso writer from a running Puppy system? Never used it as it seem a bit beyond my ability, although that contention may need testing!

Need an i686 CPU and has 4GB RAM limit -- the PC can have more, but the extra won't be recognized.


quick thought

?4gig limit is 32bit, but maybe .....

extra ram => ramdisk

ramdisk => ram swapfile

ram swapfile could be set to be used before the hard drive swapfile, or disable use of hard drive swapfile if exists

can't remember what the program or lib was barry, but it was about the era of the mageia puppy's

regards

scsijon

damn class in ten minutes (teaching), got to go.

For the 32-bit Easy 0.9.6, the desktop "sfsget" icon doesn't work.

You need to gunzip the attached and copy it to /root/.packages

It has a variable that specifies where the sfs files are on ibiblio.org.

Replugged the mouse, it is working again. Interesting, anyone else ever had that problem?


I was having a strange freeze of my mouse in Fatdog64 linux 710.
I thought it was serious, but after a lot of effort I discovered that fatdog has
set the function keys (by default) so that 'Xscreenshot' is launched if the print key is pressed.
http://www.lightofdawn.org/wiki/wiki.cgi/Xscreenshot

So I was accidentally pressing the print key and a cursor was appearing that I couldn't move.
My keyboard worked though. I should have pressed the ENTER key to take the screenshot.

For me (FD 721), when you press Print Screen the select cursor remains until you press Print Screen again. you can mouse click/drag regions and each time you release the mouse it creates a new image in your home folder of that region.

Thank you. I note there are only 2 sfs files so far, though important ones.

Best,

Trying the 0.9.6. It works perfectly fine booting from USB. But unable to boot to x from HDD. lots of kernel loading error. reverted back to 0.9.2 to check if the drive or partition was corrupted, the 0.9.2 booted just fine.

Do you mean lack of recent posts to this thread?

I have been working on other things.

There are various issues reported, intend to get onto them soon. Also; planning a Bionic Beaver easyOS release soon.

Can't find the post, think it was quite a way back in this thread, a report that booting with "qfix=bak" (or just choose from boot menu), it rolls back to a pristine first-bootup, not to last saved session. I think it was rufwoof who reported that.

Fixed.

Tip : A good way to search the forum is to use google and append
Code:
site:murga-linux.com

to your search criteria. For instance when I did a google search of
Code:
rufwoof qfix=bak site:murga-linux.com

that came back with a link to this threads page 57 link that contains
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=994363#994363
