From CD, does it boot fast? That is.. is it reading the CD for the Puppy_slacko-5.9.1.sfs or the hard drive? CD=slow, HD=fast boot. Maybe the hard drive drivers aren't getting loaded in initrd. Is it a new hard drive or motherboard? (thinking along the lines of hard drive controller).

BTW, logs seem ok.
Just copied the main sfs and zdrive to the partition (instead of a folder), rebooted cd and successfully booted.Seemed a bit slow.

Same old mobo and hard drive ...did add a second hdd but using sda only for Puppy.

Just to add to this. Hide any save files made from slacko and make sure puppy_slacko-5.9.1.sfs is on the root of a partition. Boot of optical drive with no pfix= params. Does it load the main sfs of the CD/DVD or the HDD? Again, I should be able to tell from the logs so if you don't mind post them from that scenario please.
Moved the main sfs and z drive to different partition(Mint partition actually), hid savefiles and.booted cd with no parameters.

Looks like it picked up the puppy_slacko_5.9.1.sfs from sda2 and not the cd.

Ok, we can determine that the driver for the hdd is loaded too late. That driver should be built into vmlinuz (and in tahr is probably missing from init.gz). Output of lsmod and lspci -nn will be handy now to figure out what module to make a builtin. Thanks.

As an experiment, did a frugal install directly to the root of sdb3, quick fix of menu.lst and it boots no problem.

If i follow my normal procedure of putting all files in a folder ....immediate kernel panic.Root of the partition...... no problem.

Just wondering, if you go to "/setup/QuickSetup first run settings" and
check the "Run Internet apps as spot" box, does it break the
flashplugin and cause Firefox to crash?

CUPS on Slacko-6.0 alpha

#33 Post by shinobar »

Slacko-6.0 alpha frugal install on ext4 partition.
save-to-direcory works fine.

Encountered same CUPS problem as Tahr pup.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 576#782576
# /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
direct usb://EPSON/EP-704A "EPSON EP-704A" "EPSON EP-704A" "MFG:EPSON;CMD:ESCPL2,BDC,D4,D4PX,ESCPR2;MDL:EP-704A;CLS:PRINTER;DES:EPSON EP-704A;CID:EpsonRGB;FID:FXN,DPN,WFN,ETN,AFN,DAN;" ""

But the CUPS web interface does not show my USB printer on the list of the Local Prnters

With the same hardware, Slacko 5.7 and Precise Puppy 571JP is fine.
But the Slacko-6.0 alpha and Tahr Puppy 5.8.0.8 shows same problem. :cry:

/usr/sbin/mksquashfs in slacko-6.0 alpha is a link to mksquashfs3.
It is to be a link to mksquashfs4.

The version in Slacko 591 has a completely different user interface. How did this happen? Has this modified version become the standard in woof-ce?

What testing did this version get to ensure that nothing broke?

The Help button in the modified version links to the forum page of the official version. So who is taking responsibility for providing user support for the modified version?
I'll revert if you like, however it has been there since 5.7.

Thanks. I am thinking to remove squash3 support by default. It can be added as a package. I intend to update to mksqushfs-4.3.

Billtoo. I think the problem is that flash is running with the wrong permissions. I think that flash can be installed on a per user basis so it would install to /spot/.mozilla/firefox/$YOUR_PROFILE/plugins/

If you can move it there, run

Code: Select all

cd /spot/.mozilla/firefox/$YOUR_PROFILE/plugins/
chown spot:spot libflashplayer.so
Or try without inside your profile just in /spot/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/
#Comment: spot has his own group

See how you go. If that's the case then maybe shinobar's getflash can detect if running as spot and move it there automatically.

As far as kde-games go.. I didn't see it in PPM. Have they split it all up? Or was there a mistake an old 14.0 databases were installed? Was there a /usr/share/applications/kde4/ dir created?

xorgwizard and shutdownconfig

#38 Post by shinobar »

My GeForce GTX660ti shows odd with nouveau driver. The label of the pinboard on the desktop cannot see. (EDIT: "nouveau.modeset=0" boot option saved this.)

I go the xorgwizard and chose vesa. The xorgwizard require reboot PC. But the shutdownconfig is not invoked. Therefore, reboots without saving session.

@shinobar: From the Tahr discussion, here is my only suggestion to fix this.

1. Apply the 55-cups.rules patch.
2. Reboot the printer.
3. Confirm that the device node /dev/usb/lp0 has a full set of write permissions.
4. Install in CUPS with the URI: parallel:/dev/usb/lp0
5. Look for error messages.
