Something wrong in download. Download and check the file size.
The menu should appear at Menu>System> PupsaveConfig.
I have checked on Quirky-1.2.

Tried again...After I rebooted the system, it showed up...thanks.

Could you investigate being able to save to a different file name than the one that was loaded at the start?

change in wording

#84 Post by don570 »

Note to Shinobar : a minus sign is put in front of a number i.e. -5
I think the word you should use is 'hyphen' which is a punctuation mark
to separate two words.

I've suggested some changes in red ink

Thanks....downloaded and installed.

I noticed something in Quirky1.2 It seems that I have to uninstall 196, reboot and then install 197. Not sure if that's normal, a Quirky12 quirk, or my USB bootable.

Regardless, it's a valuable addition and I have suggested that BigMike`` include it in the next version of ThinkLinux.

As an aside...I have read that one should not attempt to copy a save file in use to another one with a different file name. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks,
Thom

One thing I always add to the shutdown script is "rfkill unblock all". Most puppies have rfkill support disabled so it doesn't matter for them. But Fluppy and I think some of Iguleder's, and Pemasu's puplets have it enabled.

The problem is if you shutdown with RF blocked, it actually disables the NIC in the BIOS. If the next OS you boot isn't RF-switch aware, the networking hardware on some machines will not be properly detected during boot.

"running with RAM only mode"?

#90 Post by lee321987 »

In top post you say, "Install on any Puppy-4.x/5.x running with RAM only mode". Does that mean that if I don't "copy to ram" at boot-up that I can't use this?

You can install the pupsaveconfig on your current Puppy.
RAM only mode is needed for precise test.

test in wary5 japanese version

#92 Post by don570 »

I tested pupsaveconfig in wary-500j02.iso
and it worked well . I tried no encryption and light encrytion and 'Legacy'.
They all worked as expected.

There was one odd bug. I filled in the details in the opening screen
then clicked button. I then chose American English.
The screen went entirely black. I clicked on it. and it came back
with the trial keyboard.

That's odd . I've never had pupsaveconfig do that before.
It wasn't an accident since it has happened about 5 times now.

______________________________________________


I spotted a couple of errors with the wording in this version.

For instance,

You copy a file to a hard drive.
You put a file on a hard drive.
The preposition is important.
Here's some screenshots with red ink corrections

It is not the issue of the pupsaveconfig but of the firstrun(Country Settings).
When you change the timezone, the screen once goes black and comes back after a while. I don't know why but It may occur with Puppy-4.x and Wary.
EDIT: not right. It can be Wary only. The Puplite, based on Puppy-4.2, doesn't occur. Fluppy-010 also doesn't... :?:
I may need to put some notice in the firstrun...

Thanks the correction, don.

mistake

#94 Post by don570 »

Yes. I made a mistake. I should have called the app 'FIrstRun'
when I got the strange blackscreen.

Running xrandr causes this behavior. Mostly with Xorg 7.3. Newer versions of xorg don't have this problem as bad.

I have a slight problem on my machine with two monitors. Firstrun crashes before it gets to the part where it disables itself. Causing it to run at every boot.

Code: Select all

+ for W in '$(echo "$XRESOELINES"| grep "^ $NEWDIM")'
+ '[' 1680x1050 = '' ']'
++ echo 1680x1050
++ cut -d. -f1
+ N=1680x1050
./firstrun: line 578: 1680x1050: value too great for base (error token is "1680x1050")
./firstrun: line 579: 16965 Terminated              gtkdialog3 -p DIALOG -c >/dev/null
Edit: oops I just noticed this is the wrong thread for this. Sorry. :(

MultisessionFlash

I'd like to have an option to have file changes stored on the hard disk, not in RAM.
And then, upon shutdown (and using the SAVE button),
save the changes to USB flash memory in a manner similar to multi-session DVD.
Furthermore, a utility to combine all the session saves into a single file,
and to recover file changes in the event of a system crash.

If a swap file or partition is used then storing file changes on hard disk is virtual.
But if system crashes it would be nice to have file changes on hard disk for recovery.

I run LUPU511 from USB flash memory stick with lupusave on the stick.
I turned off the periodic save; save on shutdown is good enough.
I have a swap file on the hard disk.

german version

#100 Post by don570 »

I checked pupsaveconfig in Wary 06 Multilingual.
The German version had a couple of spelling errors.

As well , the word 'Minus' is used instead of 'hyphen'
which is properly translated 'der Bindestrich'
