can't get KDE pannel in Megapup003 (solved)
can't get KDE pannel in Megapup003 (solved)
I'm running puppy 2.01 kernel 2.6.16.7 with megapup003 and I am having problems with KDE and the panel. Every other program from the megapup003 launcher is working except that if I click on the KDE pannel alone nothing happens and if try to switch to KDE when Xrestarts the monitor goes blank and the computer freezes, needing a hardboot. The only files in my /mnt/home directory are megapup003_201.sfs, pup_save.3fs and devx-qt-renamed_201.sfs.
The computer running it is an AMD64 X2 Dualcore 4200+ with 1GB RAM
Any ideas would be much appreciated

Sorry I can't help you with this problem, but I am with having the same problem in 2.01
Now I am in 2.02 and the problem still persists.
I found reference http://www.murga.org/%7Epuppy/viewtopic.php?t=6771 for another 900MB megapup file, but the website referenced isn't accessable.

Puppy Linux 2.02 SMkey, KDE354mini, wine0.9.20, devx-qt-renamed.
Puppy Linux 2.10r1 SMkey, JWM, devx_qt_renamed_210, KDE355mini
Puppy Linux 2.10r1 SMkey, JWM, devx_qt_renamed_210, KDE355mini
2.01 is the first puppy I use on this computer, yy old computer was running 1.0.8. Would moving from 2.01r1 to 2.01r2 have the same problem? I had the KDE panel for a while until I put the wrong disk on with 2.01r1. When I rebooted with the r2 the problems started, infact everytime I try to leave reboot or restart X, the computer freezes and I have to do a hard boot.
I tried deleting /etc/kderc and running the launcher, but it is still the same. Is a reboot needed for the changes to take effect?

I'm having the problem with not being able to reboot properly so the chages do not get saved to the pup_save.sfs aparently. Everything else in puppy seems to be working fine but all the choices from the shutdown menu, from JMW restart, to power off, make the screen go bacl immediately and it freezes without running the shutdown scripts. even the symlinks I created the last session are not there anymore on the desktop. Is there a way to see any error messages at shutdown?
ok, so I wonder why your reboot does not work proper from JWM.
Look in /root/.jwmrc with a texteditor, it should have this line:
Then look in /usr/X11R6/bin/wmreboot
It should look like this:
If that is different on your system, something got broken during your upgrade.
In that case correct the entries as above.
But I would wonder, as I upgraded, too to r2.
If everything is identical, it might be a little bit more complicated, we had to add some more lines to wmreboot, that unmount all drives and run "reboot" then.

Code: Select all
<Program label="Reboot computer" icon="mini-turn.xpm">exec /usr/X11R6/bin/wmreboot</Program>
It should look like this:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
#introduced v0.9.8
#called from /root/.fvwm95rc, .jwmrc at shutdown.
echo -n "reboot" > /tmp/wmexitmode.txt
sync
#PSLIST="`ps`"
#kill `echo "$PSLIST" |grep "X "|grep -v "grep"|sed "s/^\ *//"|sed "s/ .*$//"|head -n 1`
#exec killall X
killall X #default is SIGTERM.
sleep 1 #v1.0.7
exec killall -9 X #v1.0.7 make sure X is killed.
#after exit from X, there is a return to /usr/X11R6/bin/xwin,
#which reads /tmp/wmexitmode.
In that case correct the entries as above.
