Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi there.

I downloaded puppy barebones 1.0.4 and when it boots, it gives a WARNING message because the usr_cram.fs is smaller than the file it expects to find.
So every time i have to press ENTER to continue the booting process.

after that the Puppy works well.

I used the Pup get program to install leafpad and mpaint, but the programs don't work. They give this message:

bash-3.00# leafpad
Error reading Pango modules file

(leafpad:3583): Pango-WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules
were found. Pango will not work correctly. This probably means
there was an error in the creation of:
'/etc/pango/pango.modules'
You may be able to recreate this file by running pango-querymodules.

(leafpad:3583): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

(leafpad:3583): Pango-CRITICAL **: _pango_engine_shape_shape: assertion `PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed

Pango-ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0)

If I afind something else I'll tell you.

greetings.

sounds like a bad burn

use md5sum to check download
then burn at lower speed if OK
try on another machine

do the /usr/lib/pango and /etc/pango directories exist ?

gelias,
you need to read the "How Puppy works" page, see the search order for finding usr_cram.fs at bootup. It could be a bad burn, or it could be Puppy is finding an old usr_cram.fs file.
