In PupScan >> PCI interfaces.. your ethernet and, or network controllers should be listed.

Copy'n paste, or run: lsmod which should show if their drivers are loaded.

For instance, my controller utilizes the b44 driver. Hence:

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep b44
Returns:

Code: Select all

b44                    19033  0 
ssb                    29373  1 b44
mii                     2650  1 b44
Your primary connection type?

primary connection is eth0. Its a rather large file and I'm posting here from another computer so copy n paste ain't an option. Tell me what I'm looking for in pupscan>>pci interfaces

Ethernet. It'll look similar..

Code: Select all

DESCRIPTION: Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Base-T 
VENDOR: 14e4  DEVICE: 4401
KERNEL DRIVER:  b44
KERNEL MODULE:  b44
Module and, or driver's OK.

If you run: ifconfig from a shell, is eth0 listed?

I managed to find the module name for eth0 from the pupscan>>interfaces list, and then to load that module. Now the internet works again, however still cannot shutdown and have to redo the load module procedure again on reboot.

You can place a line like this in /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

Code: Select all

modprobe your_module
For shutdown, let's see another of these:

Code: Select all

cat /var/log/messages | grep -i error
How is it you disabled the screensaver?

Code: Select all

cat /var/log/messages | grep -i error
no output from the above command.

And now I don't have any sound and the volume control in the taskbar at bottom of screen has disappeared. Great! this is totally messing up my puppy

Searching with the alsa sound wizard does not find any supported pnp or pci cards.

I disabled the screensaver by going to tool at menu>desktop>desktopsettings>screensaver control

Well now, there's gotta be sumpthin bigger behind this than resurrecting a three year old thread.

Is this install on an ext2 file system? This alone should say: mount

I've got a usb install I can try this on but you should look too.

Also, you went from 5.28 to 5.29 at one point.. <also known as> an in place upgrade, correct?

Boot your 5.29 disk live: puppy pfix=ram and hit the install icon.

As I'm sure you can cancel at an appropriate time, does it ask if you'd like to upgrade?

I'm not positive but recall this type install keeps your current setup, replacing only system files.

If something got corrupted, and it sure sounds like it.. this may be one way to recover.

Try'n make sure you answer all questions.

This is a full install and I do not have the install disk anymore. But I'm pretty sure it was not upgraded from 528 to 529.[/code]

Booted up this morning and everything seems to be back to normal - volume control in taskbar, sound has returned, printer back, network ok. WTF :x

Shutdown not happening however, hangs at black screen with 'puppy is shutting down...'

Before what follows, one'a these: cat /var/log/messages | grep Bug

==

If during the day you get this, reboot and at the boot prompt type: puppy acpi=off

Whether this is power related or caused by a graphics or network card, time will tell.

It goes without saying.. you'll be minding that shutdown / reboot time..
