Bruno, if you're going to be in and out throughout the day, do me a favor and keep Pup up under a *live* boot.

With you not really knowing what to do, I'll ask if you're familiar with TeamViewer? It's a remote control app where you send me an invite, I accept, login to your machine and investigate what's what, just like how an MS rep would would log into a client machine and "hands-on," assess the situation. Don't worry, you see everywhere the cursor goes. :shock:

Besides the clients I service locally, I've assisted two board members here.

So long as this sounds OK, I need to know whether you've got a fast connection?

Hello Semme
I'm logged in now with the live CD tahr64, without save file, but with perfect ethernet connection :D
I have no experience with Teamviewer, but I can give it a try
Yes my connection is quite fast, I think

Good.

So long as you don't have a bandwidth cap on your internet, dwnld and install LXTreminal from PPM.

This is so you can copy'n paste without trouble. It'll be in your "Utility" menu.

Open it and cd to /tmp: cd /tmp

Confirm you're there with: pwd

If it's good, copy'n paste this in:

Code: Select all

wget http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/puppylinux/pet_packages-tahr64/32bit_compatibility_libs_tahr64.sfs https://downloadus1.teamviewer.com/download/version_11x/teamviewer_11.0.57095_i386.tar.xz
Minimize your terminal. I doubt we'll need the devx.

Take ROX there, that "file" icon in the upper left corner of the desktop..

Hit the up arrow and go into "tmp."

Notice the ROX "title bar" states the directory you're in.

Now go'n rt-clk that 32bit pkg >> file >> sfs_load.

There'll be a drop-down. Select NOCOPY and load it.

Open the terminal again and: ldconfig << This starts with a lowercase L. :wink:

Back in your ROX window, clk the teamviewer pkg >> XArchive opens.

Hit "extract" and OK.

OK the "extract all" dialog.

The following dialog should say /tmp >> OK it.

Done >> OK >> CLOSE XArchive.

Now with ROX, go into the extracted teamviewer folder and clk only the *green* teamviewer file.

Give it a moment, accept the license and tell me if you get a window like in my SS..

Yes?

==

Hang tight, I'll be back in a bit..

Is there a drop-down with a "NOCOPY" choice?

The 32compat in /tmp you have, correct?

If you right clk, do you see the option to "sfs_load?"

This could just be a bad save file, because something is wrong with the file system on the USB stick.
fat32 is a Windows file system not a Linux one, so any error checking programs have to be Windows programs.

If Widows did anything on this USB stick there is a chance the file system is fragmented.
Puppy saves do not like fragmented file systems.

I would run Windows defrag and chkdsk on the USB stick and see if they find or correct anything.
If yes.

Make a new save after you run defrag and chkdsk..

There could be a bug with using heavy encryption on the save file.
Try just making one with no encryption just to see if that makes a difference.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Hello Bigpup, yes that could have been the problem, so I tried a new savefile, with Tahr64, on a new USB stick, and again the same problem: no ethernet interface after booting with the savefile, while at first boot from the live CD all was fine...
So it's the same problem with Tahr32 6.0.5, Tahr64 6.0.5, and Slacko 6.3 ...

Now the funny thing is, I tried out Wheezy 3.5.2.11, made a heavy encrypted savefile and .... all goes well, even booting many times from the savefile, ... no problem with ethernet..
So maybe the problem lies with the newer kernel, or the newer Woof?
