Hi Keniv !
Regarding problem 2:
Tested Logout:
Menu to choose:
Cancel--Shutdown--Reboot-Exit X--Suspend
Using Shutdown for me did not cause System to reboot.Are you sure you did not hit "Reboot" ?
Regarding problem 1:
You are correct......but do not know how to fix it .
euclid2.iso
Regarding 1. Some time ago there was the same problem and I thought this was fixed (with newer xfce4 version) but obviously not.keniv wrote:Hello All,
I'd like to ask a couple of questions.
1. Can someone tell me how to fix the position of the desktop icons.
I have tried switching them from horizontal to vertical. However when l reboot I get a mixture of both. If I move them manually on rebooting they've moved back. I can't find a way to fix them in one position.
2. The above problem is trivial but this one is more of an issue. I have found after shutting down the machine seems to reboot. I have not seen it do this but I've come back to find it on twice. It only seems to happen with euclid. Has anyone else noticed this. I know some pups have had shutdown problems in the past but this is not the problem I have. It shutsdown then reboots.

Ken.
At that time I made little workaround script, it's: /usr/local/bin/desk-icons
- Copy it to ~/Startup
- Exit X and from console, type startx (then the desk-icons script is loaded at startup/login)
- Make your changes for icon positions on the Desktop
- Required to wait around 5 seconds before exiting (xfdesktop is rather slow in saving the changes properly
) Then to test, exit X and startx again, if it's OK it should work after reboot also.
EDIT: Sorry, after more testing I found that it doesn't work always, I'll search for a better solution tomorrow.
EDIT2: Attached "desk-icons" script, extract in ~/Startup
Added "xfdesktop --reload" to the script, it should work now (also after exiting X)
For 2. Same as backi, I can't reproduce that.

@backi @ fredx181,
Thanks for trying to reproduce problem 2. It does not happen every time or even most of the time. I am sure it's not me hitting reboot. If it was this it would boot back into the first entry of my grub menu and it would appear fairly quickly. It seems to boot up after some time. It might be the machine I suppose but it doesn't seem to happen with other pups. I think when I shutdown euclid I will boot into another pup then shut it down. If I get it to happen with another pup it would point me in the direction of the machine rather than the pups.

Thanks for looking for a solution to the icon problem.
Regards,
Ken.
Edit Tried the icon work around. Still working after reboot.

G'day there Zagreb999 or anybody eLse that knows How 2 Fix the Error Booting euclid2 gfxboot.c32: not a COM32R image, of course I've done an iNet search & tried Tab, Type live & press eNter, doesn't work. I've tried Booting from CD & USB isobooter, Both No Splash & ChainLoading!
I'm Really Very Keen 2 Try this Flavor because I've just Received a 2.4 GHz i5 ( ie. QuadCore ) & XFCE is one of Me Favorite Desktop eNvironments, However I'm Wundering if this Error is Related 2 Compatibility of aRchitecture???
Oops, I've Only just noticed that this is a 32 bit OS & I Need 2 be Using a 64 bit, I Welcome or invite Recommendations besides FatDog64 or Barrys Quirky Xerus64-8.3 or the recently Retired Debi'Dog (
Sadly! ) that I'm unaware of

See EDIT2 and attached "desk-icons" here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 785#965785
It should work better anyway now and also after exiting X (not only after reboot)

Thanks for your script. It's working fine so far including reboots. I have a bit more information with problem 2. This only seems to happen when I seem to get an incomplete shutdown. Shutdown gets to page with "System going to system halt now" It does not get to the last page with the debian logo before it shutsdown. This also seems to affect the hardware clock. When I reset it all is well again. I don't know if this helps.

Ken.

I seem to have lost a post somewhere. I think I have a work around for problem 2. If instead of using shutdown I EXIT X then at the command line I type in "poweroff" I see the last page of the shutdown routine ie page showing
"session already saved using overlay". I think I have also fixed the problem with the hardware clock by resetting then syncing it using lucid.I could not find how to do it in euclid.

Can not quite understand why you have shutdown Problems .
But maybe try these Scripts :

I already replied to the post above. This is the second post I've lost. I tried your first script which did shutdown euclid but caused an error with the hadrware clock. I now seem to have so many odd errors I am thinking of re-downloading the iso and make a new frugal install. If that does not remove these niggles I may give up.
Regards,
Ken.

Hello backi,
I've downloaded euclid again. The first time I got it from ally's mirror so I've tried the other site just in case. It's not a completey clean install as I used my existing changes. dat file. It seems to be working properly but I've had this before so I'll do a bit more testing. If it fails I'll try a clean install. As I like euclid I'll also try your alternative suggestion. I sounds good to me.

Ken.

Well after the re-download of the iso, reinstall using the same change.dat file and about 10 boot ups and shutdowns none of my previous problems have shown up so I presume my problems were due to a corrupt download. BTW is there an md5 check sum for the iso. If so can someone point me to it. Still not 100% confident but it's looking better than before.

Ken.
