Unloading sfs may have some problem depends on many issue. I guess it is not the sfs_load version problem. SFS-Load 1.3 has many fix from v1.2, and i still have not found new bugs in v1.3. # 28 Oct 2011 v1.2.9: support kernel 3.x and unionfs, special characters in path, profile.d # 13 Nov 2011 v1.3: fix could not unload excess sfs(>6) with some version of busybox, PUPMODE=7(same as PUPMODE=2), error message at unload failure, wait before removing layer Report on the sfs_load topic please if we can reproduce the issue. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64354 _________________ Multilingual Wary-511 Lucid Puppy Quickset edition Downloads for Puppy Linux http://shino.pos.to/linux/downloads.html |

What would be nice for laptop users - Acpi. ie - close the lid and laptop sleeps - open lid and it wakes up. If one were to copy the files from another similar puppy to /etc, and add a few bits in startup, would it work? Is there any danger of doing damage to the computer, bios, or similar? Seem to remember trying this before on a much older laptop and it has not worked since - dead completely. Not a biggy - but if it were built in - would be nice. Using Opera-11.62.sfs to post this and all seems well - insanely fast. So far for me Luvly Puppy - many thanks - regards - Ray |

Thanks for the info, Shinobar, I will reinstall SFS-Load 1.3 and see how it goes. The last issue occured when I was editing my own SFS files and was unmounting and remounting the SFS file a lot for testing and bugfixing. I got an error message saying something like "the SFS could not unload from the unionfs." Then it ask me if I wanted to put it in the queue so that I could unload it after reboot. I found that message strange becuause I thought that only very old Puppies used unionfs..then aufs was adopted, until Barry decided to give unionfs another try in his newer Wary/Racy. |

The message maybe confusing, but it means both unionfs or aufs(AnotherUnionFS). It occurs when the sfs is in use. _________________ Multilingual Wary-511 Lucid Puppy Quickset edition Downloads for Puppy Linux http://shino.pos.to/linux/downloads.html |

Ah, now I understand. I maybe be nit-picking a little bit, but perhaps a statement such as, "Failed to unload the SFS file" would be less confusing. SFS-Load is a great tool; Thank You for having created it. |

Maybe. By the way, restart X and try again if you failed to unload SFS. Sometimes it will resolve. _________________ Multilingual Wary-511 Lucid Puppy Quickset edition Downloads for Puppy Linux http://shino.pos.to/linux/downloads.html |

Because I can't leave problems unsolved..... In the light of the problems reported earlier with the Broadcom wl driver in the Testing ISO working but not surviving a reboot - I've tried the following: 1. Made a vanilla, pristine, manual, frugal install of Lupu528-004 2. Blacklisted the b43 module 3. Installed broadcom_sta-5.6.48.36-i486.pet 4. Rebooted 5. Used Network Wizard to create a WPA-PSK-TKIP connection 6. Rebooted And this time it's successful - see attached lsmod and dmesg outputs. Note - the module I remarked on before - michael-mic - is now still there after the reboot.... Conclusion? the broadcom-sta driver is working OK with my BCM4311 with Version13 firmware but something in the combination of changes in the Testing ISO is not quite right. If anybody can suggest the next "change" to make and test then I'll try that. Cheers peebee

I'm having to switch to Windows and Adobe 8 more and more in order to search searchable pdf files, and often even to open them at all with the pdf viewer that comes with lupu 5.2.8. Is there a compatible installation package that offers a more up to date viewer? _________________ otropogo@gmail.com facebook.com/otropogo |

Foxit is rather large but very good. http://cdn01.foxitsoftware.com/pub/foxit/reader/desktop/linux/1.x/1.1/enu/FoxitReader-1.1.0.tar.bz2 _________________ Puppy Software <-> Distros <-> Puppy Linux Tips |

Thanks, have installed Foxit 1.1 via the packet manager and will give it a try. Have also found that the find function in ePDFviewer does exists, but it's a royal PIA to use, since there doesn't appear to be a way to configure it to display in the toolbar. Foxit 1.1 does have this option. I always assumed that any pdf viewer would show a search field by default, unless the pdf isn't searchable. Hopefully it will be able to open more recent pdfs. Today I downloaded two pdf files from the Government of Canada, and ePDF was only able to open one of them. I use Adobe Reader v. 8.1.2 in Windows, and it's hardly the latest version. The copyright says 2007... Yet I haven't come a across a pdf file yet that it wouldn't open. Now to find the procedure for making foxit the default pdf reader... _________________ otropogo@gmail.com facebook.com/otropogo |

Open /usr/local/bin/defaulthandler as text; change "epdfview" to "foxit" or, I have had better luck with using the full path, usually /usr/bin/foxit or /usr/local/bin/foxit, wherever foxit installs to. Usually works, good luck! ps. This is Linux--don't forget to save! Also, don't forget to boogie, but that's different. |
