when i unsquashed the puppy.sfs file, then resquashed, all from another running system, the file puppy.sfs is then no longer seen by the initrd during bootup. It drops out right away. Is there a trick to this for the new signature system?

I want a certain image for the desktop wallpaper. It is not shown in the wallpaper setter. I shut it down then copy my image to the directory. I restart the wallpaper setter select my image and click view. Everything is fine until I click apply. The wallpaper does not change. I click view and the default wallpaper is now shown. I look in ROX and yes my file has been overwritten with the default -- only the name remains.

There is a bug in puppy for long time, since puppy 4 at least and infects quirky also of course, which nobody could reproduce it and thous I thought that was some kind of my mistake. Accidentally I found what is causing it.

The bug is that I can't copy and paste from the terminal "rxvt" to Geany using the middle mouse key. When I try, it copies [null] and the reason is the language selected. If I select Greek (and I suppose any non western character language) it doesn't work, but when I select English it does copy paste fine.

Generally puppy has problems with foreign languages and it doesn't look nice. I hope to move to a more international puppy sometime.

Quirky 1.30 shutdown without creating a save file. This happened twice.

Compaq Presario/R3000 (Athlon XP 3000+) Frugal install booted from hard disk via grub.

Shame because everything else worked nicely.

Noticed In Quirky/Wary that pmount has an incorrect translation variable at lines 72 & 75-> $m_34 it should refer to m_31="KILL"
line 72-> m_35="If you press the \"$m_34\" button, Puppy will attempt to
kill the offending programs for you. Only do this as a
last resort. "
line 75-> m_36="Firstly you should try to close the programs
manually, so do not press \"$m_34\"."

pmount still contains 2 buttons that are not taken into account, lines 419-420, it's an easy fix
the OK variable is already present (m_38), just missing the CANCEL for it to be complete.
There are spare variable numbers 40-49, which i think pertain to the relevant part of the script,
so I added a new translation variable : m_40="CANCEL" #your choice of nber here
then changed lines 419-420 in pmount
<button ok></button> ... <button><input file stock=\"gtk-ok\"></input><label>$m_38</label></button>
<button cancel></button> ... <button><input file stock=\"gtk-cancel\"></input><label>$m_40</label></button>

Thanks!

Thats the part I missed:
eg
echo -n "$DISTRO_IDSTRING" >> pup-431.sfs

so I used from:
/mnt/home/quirky>

#echo -n "q130100920100026" >> puppy.sfs

and it booted

I found this little bug when a try /usr/sbin/filemnt. When yaf-splash is invoked with the parameter option -font "xxx" it's reported a "false" output, and not is screening the message.

Line error be changed in gtkdialog-splash:
