Hello,
I was using pebble 1.0 with puppy-NOP 4.0 and today I tried NOP (based on 4.1) and is not working Sad

The splash screem never goes away and puppy can't boot. Do you guys know if there is anything new in puppy 4.1 that prevents pebble from working?

Thanks !!

I don't know. I haven't looked at 4.1's boot scripts yet. I'll port Pebble to 4.10 and 4.11 this weekend or the next, pending homework and attention-span.

Thanks for reminding me. I forgot that I needed to do this still.

Oh, and I'll also update the package to use the version I posted for Dinky to test. I was waiting for him to get back to me first, in case I still didn't find his bug. But oh well.

Cheers.

Hi Pizzasgood, sorry bout not getting b ack to you with that testing, I bailed. While I'm still finding some time for developing, there's precious little of it, and currently I'm working on project Ripple. The idea is to only use Compiz-Fusion as the Window manager, with nothing else. TigerPup, the project with the bootspash, is blending with Ripple. I'll definitely be using Pebble at some point, but it's going to wait until more important issues are sorted, and Ripple is stable. Hope to get back to Pebble testing then. Cheers.

Okay, I've ported it to 4.10 and 4.11. I have not tested these extensively. Basically, I made sure the 4.11 version booted properly, after being installed into an existing frugal Puppy. I have not verified that the tweaked puppyinstall script is perfect, nor that every case where the splash should be removed is working (such as for entering passwords or choosing a pup_save.2fs file). I'll test it harder someday but now is not a good time for that.

Anyways, it seems to work so far.

Links on the first post now point to the new versions.

After installed the pebble_p411-1.0 for puppy4.1.1-k2.6.25.16, I can not get the X sometimes. But is not like this, sometimes has been normal. The screen has paused in the last image. I thought maybe the x have not started.
How to solve it?

Well, I'm not sure what's wrong, but I do know there are a couple spots where there is a potential for it to get stuck in an infinite loop if something breaks. They were spots where the script waits for the daemon to finish doing something before continuing. I adjusted the code so that now they won't wait more than five seconds, then they'll continue anyway.

Try this modified version and let me know if it seems to work:

Can you confirm that this only happens when running Pebble?

Hi Pizzasgood,

I too tried this with Puppy 4.1. I can confirm that this only happens with pebble.

Unfortunately, your modified version did not work as well... it hung at the boot screen.

Good luck, and thanks for this great program!

Edit: Nevermind, the shutdown problem was my fault. The boot problem still persists.
