hello all,
i'm using puppy 412, barebones retro, frugal install
having an issue with screen blanking which led me to
a thread with a possible solution which might be made
permanent by adding a line to /root/.xinitrc.
i looked for /root/.xinitrc, with hidden items on, rox not showing it
i opened pfind, which showed showed 2 of xinitrc and 5 of .xinitrc
neither /root/.xinitrc nor /root/bakup .initrc show in rox
the other 5 instances are shown, 4 in /initrd/..., 1 in /usr/...
this 412 has been in sucessful use for several years, i'm posting from it.
any ideas about the rox/pfind discrepancy would be welcome.
cheers, mm
rox don't show what pfind says is so

rox or pfind
hello mmmrr,
my idea is:
use just a console
and type
On my system (no 412):
find is easy to use
./ mneans in this directory
pwd means print working directory
So there is 1 file named .xinitrc in directory /root

my idea is:
use just a console
and type
Code: Select all
find -name .xinitrc
Code: Select all
# find -name .xinitrc
./.xinitrc
# pwd
/root

./ mneans in this directory
pwd means print working directory
So there is 1 file named .xinitrc in directory /root

thanks, L18L,
for yr swift response, i get the same result:
# find -name .xinitrc
./.xinitrc
# pwd
/root
which still does not make it appear in rox where i can open, examine, modify it though i can do those things in a console editor such as e3
when i move up a directory:
# cd ..
# pwd
/
# find -name .xinitrc
./root/.xinitrc
./initrd/pup_ro2/root/.xinitrc
./initrd/pup_rw/root/.xinitrc
when i enter xinitrc:
# find -name xinitrc
./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc
./initrd/pup_ro2/usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc
no files named bakup .xinitrc, bakup-.xinitrc or bakup_.xinitrc are found
i appreciate this way of searching, thank you.
my question remains: why does not rox show files which exist?
has rox degraded over time?
i don't understand the three votes reference...
cheers, mm
