Hello Barry

I wasn't sure whether the contents of: /etc/eventmanager
would be different at the various stages described in my last post.
So i ran through it again, taking note of the contents of: /etc/eventmanager
at all stages the contents were exactly the same.

Here is the contents of: /etc/eventmanager
Code:

#configuration file for 'events' in Puppy.
#this file is read/written by /usr/sbin/eventmanager.

#this parameter is read by /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d...
#For odd-numbered PUPMODE, periodic save in minutes. 0=no periodic save...
RAMSAVEINTERVAL=

#read by pup_event_frontend_d. major switch to kill pup_event_backend_d...
BACKENDON=

#read by pup_event_frontend_d. major switch to turn off all hotplug desktop icon support...
HOTPLUGON=

#read by pup_event_frontend_d. whether hotplug drive icons on desktop or a single 'drives' icon...
ICONDESK=false

#read by pup_event_frontend_d. only effecive if ICONDESK=true. show individual partitions as icons...
ICONPARTITIONS=false

#read by pup_event_frontend_d and /root/.pup_event/drive_*
#true if want an automatic 'handler' to run if a drive plugged in...
HOTPLUGNOISY=false

#read by /root/.pup_event/drive_*
#true if want 'handler' to auto-run appropriate target application...
AUTOTARGET=true

#if /sys/block/fd0 exists, show 'fd0' icon on desktop. Puppy does not detect insert/remove
#of diskettes, so this icon will just remain on desktop. Read by pup_event_frontend_d.
FD0ICON=true

CatDude,
That's your problem, RAMSAVEINTERVAL has no value. Ok, I can put in a workaround for that.

When you ran the Event manager you must have deleted the default entry for RAMSAVEINTERVAL.

I'm puzzled how you got BACKENDON and HOTPLUGON set to nothing. They are radio buttons in the Event manager and are either true or false.

EDIT:
Fixes applied, see my blog.

I do not know how that happened.

The only thing i did,
was to Right click on one of the desktop drive icons (i was trying to get rid of them)
and selected: Run Desktop Drive Icon Manager
then selected: Show full Event Manager
i then unticked all of the boxes,

2 on the Activate tab
3 on the Desktop Icons tab
2 on the Icon Handler tab
1 on the Legacy tab

that was it.
Pmount was still working OK after doing this,
but there is still one icon (drives) that will not go away.

You and me both mate.



Anyways, i decided to create a Fresh Frugal Install.
I did exactly as i did previously (with regard to unticking boxes)
then i had a look at: /etc/eventmanager

here is the contents:
Code:

#configuration file for 'events' in Puppy.
#this file is read/written by /usr/sbin/eventmanager.

#this parameter is read by /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d...
#For odd-numbered PUPMODE, periodic save in minutes. 0=no periodic save...
RAMSAVEINTERVAL=30

#read by pup_event_frontend_d. major switch to kill pup_event_backend_d...
BACKENDON=false

#read by pup_event_frontend_d. major switch to turn off all hotplug desktop icon support...
HOTPLUGON=false

#read by pup_event_frontend_d. whether hotplug drive icons on desktop or a single 'drives' icon...
ICONDESK=false

#read by pup_event_frontend_d. only effecive if ICONDESK=true. show individual partitions as icons...
ICONPARTITIONS=false

#read by pup_event_frontend_d and /root/.pup_event/drive_*
#true if want an automatic 'handler' to run if a drive plugged in...
HOTPLUGNOISY=false

#read by /root/.pup_event/drive_*
#true if want 'handler' to auto-run appropriate target application...
AUTOTARGET=false

#if /sys/block/fd0 exists, show 'fd0' icon on desktop. Puppy does not detect insert/remove
#of diskettes, so this icon will just remain on desktop. Read by pup_event_frontend_d.
FD0ICON=false

So i have no idea what happened in the last install i did.


With regard to the fix you posted on your blog,
i did as described and Pmount continued to work OK even after i installed the icewm pet. Very Happy

I still have one question though, how do i get rid of that icon ? Twisted Evil
i do not like desktop icons, if i want shortcuts, i put them on wbar.

Good question.
Um, I think if you untick everything that has to do with hotplug support, then delete that icon, hopefully it won't come back next time X is started.

That needs to be tidied up though, for those like yourself who want a cleaner desktop. Another checkbox maybe in the Event Manager, to choose not to display any drive icons at all.

...that would have to be for 4.2, as 4.1.2 is in it's final day of testing.

I tried that, it doesn't work, the icon re-appears again.
I guess i will have to wait for 4.2, although i mainly use version 400 so it is not urgent.

I have made a new full install of puppy in the same machine and it worked OK then I decided to repeat what I did last....

Press and hold poweroff while drive is mounted

I got the same error

It seems power failures or bad shutdown is the cause of this

Let me try try what's suggested above.

Not certain, but this might be related:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=36944

I would do this:
exit to prompt.
type:
Code:
rm -rf /tmp
reboot

Instead of "reboot" you also can hit CTRL-ALT-Del.

PostPosted: Mon 09 Feb 2009, 14:58    Post subject: Clean Installs  
Well I tried your method and I solved a million probs now here is how I am handling the problems

Did a clean install to all PCs then...

add this to rc.sysinit just after
Code:
ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab


Code:

##############SHUTDOWN RECOVERY################
#If system was not shutdown cleanly, try and recover
if [ -f /RUNNING ];then
 echo -n "(System was not SHUTDOWN Cleanly)" >/dev/console
 rm -f /var/log/X*
 rm -f /RUNNING
 rm -rf /tmp/*
 rm -f /var/lock/LCK*
 rm -f /var/run/*.pid
 rm -rf /root/tmp 2>/dev/null
 rm -rf /root/.thumbnails/* 2>/dev/null
fi


##############Detect Bad Shut###################
#create a file in / that should be deleted on a clean shutdown
if [ ! -f /RUNNING ];then
 echo 'this file is deleted during a clean shutdown' > /RUNNING
fi




add this to rc.shutdown just below the first
Code:
clear
command
Code:

################Delete RUNNING to avoid Clean#################
rm -f /RUNNING
echo "Puppy is deleting RUNNING..." > /dev/console


I'd have used /tmp but something funny I cannot see the file there if I use it anyway thought of doing it outside.... now I can poweroff like 5000 times without worry....
