1.0.5 bugs

#1 Post by BarryK »

Install to hard drive, option 2.
cannot find X.
See this thread:
http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=2495

I cannot reproduce this bug.

One thing. During bootup of the live-CD, /usr is temporarily a link to /.usr_cram, then a bit later the directory /usr is created and unionfs is used to join /.usr_cram and /root/.usr onto /usr.

Maybe something has gone wrong when booting the live-CD.
Check to see that you do have an actual /usr directory, not a
symlink.

There must be something in your setup that interrupts the normal logic of the boot script and prevents that second step.

If I type "df" I get this:

Code: Select all

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs                  513688     57112    456576  11% /
tmpfs                   513688     57112    456576  11% /
/dev/hda4             31894064  30057728    216184  99% /mnt/home
/dev/loop1              507749    308823    177955  63% /root
/dev/loop0               46528     46528         0 100% /.usr_cram
none                    554277    355351    177955  67% /usr
Does it differ for you?

I get this error using option 2 install during step 5.

Code: Select all

Now copying files and directories...
cp: cannot stat `/proc/self/fd/3': No such file or directory
...done.
Since it doesn't copy, it goes along rather quickly & cannot find X after rebooting to hdd.

df yields this after install, but before reboot.

Code: Select all

# df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs                  128280     60672     67608  47% /
tmpfs                   128280     60672     67608  47% /
/dev/loop0               46528     46528         0 100% /.usr_cram

I posted this on another thread, but is the /usr symlink deleted before copying /usr ? If it isn't, the copy fails.

I presume you mean that you ran df while still running from the live-CD.

What you get shows something is wrong.

is this a normal CD. Not running as multi-session?

There is no pup001 file. The partition containing the pup001
file should be mounted on /mnt/home.
So, Puppy is running totally in ramdisk.

Is this the case for the other people getting this bug?

Sorry Barry, I should have stated that the drive was unprepared/unformatted, so it was only in ram. Manually deleting /usr & then copying /usr files as other threads mention works fine.

1st bug:
JWM restart is using the destructive method of <Program> 'restartwm jwm' isntead of the nicer <Restart>

Okay (grrr), I didn't realise that you guys had booted the
live-cd only in ram.
Now I know how to fix it.

Would you kindly repeat the install, using the attached script,
doing exactly as before, booting up only in ram.
That should fix it.
If it does, I'll announce it on the news page and also upload the iso file again.

You can't copy install-hd2.sh to /usr/sbin as /usr is not
writable.
So run it directly:

# gunzip install-hd2.sh.gz
# ./install-hd2.sh

# ./install-hd2.sh
Running the above script as "sh install-hd2.sh" it ends with the error...

Code: Select all

chmod: /tmp/boot/boot/grub/menu.lst: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/grubconfig: cannot create /tmp/grubconfig/null: No such file or directory
however the result is perfect, rebooted into a brand new puppy 1.0.5 :D

Thanks Barry!! 8)

That's something to do with the grubconfig script.
Well, at least it still works!

Hello!

I thought I would never see the day when Puppy Bug Report would be a sticky on the forum. I had too many expectations from 1.0.5

I am getting the error at the end of session when I am saving it that
can not sort Directory xyz and EOF or something and reboots

In good old days of 1.0.4, if I had such a problem, I used to use bkup2cd and used to write my sessions. Not the case with 1.0.5 as I saw someone reported a bug in bkup2cd which I am experiencing too.

BTW I run puppy on a hard drive less computer with AMD AthelonXP 2100, 700+ of DDR Ram and nVidea 128mb AGP card

Dear Barry, Please help, I don't want to give up on this New Puppy so soon
