something happened when you worked on the xorg-scripts, in 214X6 xorgwizard is run at every boot, and also if X Server is restarted Confused . Had none of these problems in 214X4

MHHP, tried pupshots-v2p03, didn't work for me(save settings that is), also the save button doesn't look very solid.
If you change some setting, say, format png, then tick the "save settings" box, take the shot, is png or jpg default next time Pup-Shots is run? Question

Hi I don't think its a V6 problem more of maybe you corrupted something, because you just state even when you restart X server the wizard comes up, I've done it about 20 times already searching for errors in /tmp and not once did the wizard startup again,

Has anyone else restarted X-Server and had to deal with the Xorg setup wizard? or does it just go to your desktop like it should???

Hi,

Always been a fan of 214R so tried to put this version on HDD.

The universal installer could not find pup_214R.sfs on CD, said it couldn't find pup_214.sfs.

Copied CD files to HDD renamed pup_214R to pup_214.sfs.

Still no luck

Regards Tony

Well I consider that good news Smile, the reason why people were having issues with it and I used the one from 215ce, hmmm I wonder why it wasn't asking for 215, anyways I'll try to fix it Smile and post a update.

Hi tony go to /etc/puppyversion
and (right click, open as text) and change that to 214R and it should work. I just tried it and it worked Wink It didn't until I made the change.

could you delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and restart xorg wizard and setup again, maybe your xorg.conf was damaged somehow.
once you get back to jwm then restart-X Server again and see if the wizard reappears or if all is fixed?

To make sure this error does not originate from my own wrong-doings, I burned a CD, disconnected my Puppy HDD, made a new pup_save-file on a HDD on which I've never had any Puppy-files, and the problem persists.

Back on my normal Puppy-HDD (frugal 214X6), I copied xorgwizard from 214X4 and ran it; everything works fine.
Seems like xorgwizard in 214X6 fails to write one important line to xorg.conf:
excerpt from xorg.conf written with xorgwizard in 214X6
Quote:
Section "Monitor"
#DisplaySize 320 240 # mm
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "IBM"
ModelName "IBM 0182 C72"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 30-69
VertRefresh 50-85
#UseModes "Modes0" #monitor0usemodes
EndSection

excerpt from xorg.conf written with xorgwizard from 214X4
Quote:
Section "Monitor"
#DisplaySize 320 240 # mm
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "IBM"
ModelName "IBM 0182 C72"
### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 30.0-69.0
VertRefresh 50.0-85.0
#UseModes "Modes0" #monitor0usemodes
Option "PreferredMode" "800x600"
EndSection

Having the line marked in red in xorg.conf solves the problem with screen-settings not being remembered with any restart of the X Server, even if changing back to xorgwizard from 214X6 (unless I change the resolution of course Wink ). At least it's a work-around for now Smile .

Thanks, that solves my issue Smile Very Happy.

P.S. I did delete all files in /etc/X11 before testing Cool.

Hi MHHP, you're right, pupshots won't save settings unless you take a shot. I was a bit quick of the mark there. Great stuff.

frugal install (copied files from expanded iso and edited menu.lst)
loads kernel
loads pup_214R.sfs
then message saying

init

init is the mother of all processes

md5 checksum matched for download.
burnt cd booted fine.

What am I missing here?

Hi

Be sure that in the menu.lst you have this line root=/dev/ram0 in the kernel.
Example:

title Puppy-Linux 214x6 (by Ttuuxxx)
kernel (hd0,0)/puppy214x6/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0
initrd (hd0,0)/puppy214x6/initrd.gz
boot

Hope this will help

Thanks. The root=/dev/ram0 worked in the frugal install.
No sound with my invidia chipset Compaq PC though.
Of course I realize that this version when it was first released did not have support for newer hardware.
video is fine though.
and eth0 is using forcedeth driver.
