Problem 3 - not solved
Copied other .sfs from cd to /mnt/home as listed to use
Started Puppy Setup
Picked Bootmanager to add them to the startup

error: Sorry there are no SFS files in directory /mnt/home (or they all have the wrong *_nnn.sfs version number. You will need to download and place one there first.

Checked location, ok
copied to same place with shortened name _431.sfs
checked permissions, ok

still same error

help please.
scsijon


Maybe your sfs version is not compatible...use:
Menu -> Utility -> SFS convert
It will convert sfs version 4 to 3 and the other way around

I noticed some weird bug with xvesa. On a live session with xvesa, I chose the xvesa option and my screen went black and the "digital-analog" thingy appeared, no response. I noticed this freeze several times.

I use a nVidia 7300 (without modules in this case) and a Samsung 19' screen.

They need the s4s.sfs in the name.extension, check for that. Could be a mistake in making the cd where the wrong (non s4s) sfs files were packaged. If so, just convert them as suggested earlier. On the other hand, if they do already have the additional s4s tag in the name, you're good to go.

Also in the bootmanager sfs screen, if you can't see the s4s.sfs files in the left panel, try checking or unchecking the little box on the lower left which specifies the type of names that are acceptable, (I can't remember what it says exactly in 431, as I'm not on it right now). Then close and re-start the bootmanager. Or you may actually need to reboot to see the sfs files in bootmanager -- again, I'm not on 431 at the moment , so can't tell you which procedure works.

Getting that little checkbox right will allow the s4s sfs files to appear in the left window so you can add them to the right window. Be sure the s4s sfs files ARE actually present in /mnt/home. Otherwise they won't be available to you to add to the bootmanager list at all. This little checkbox has been a feature of 4.x series bootmanagers for a long time, so this setting has often been a point of confusion.

More procedural help like this should be available in the regular assistance forums -- don't want to get too far afield from just reporting 431 bugs and suggestions here.

problem 4 - not solved
how do I set the "modem speaker volume" without changing the whole volume?

scsijon

go to wizard wizard, the networking section, the modem section, set up your modem, then put the right volume commands in for your specific modem from its owner's manual.
google:
site:www.murga-linux.com modem mute
or google:
site:www.murga-linux.com modem silent
etc.
better yet, scroogle them. (www.scroogle.org)

scsijon,
Quote:

To save you some trouble, here is what I know about controlling the modem sound. There are 2 "AT" commands available for addition to the modem initialization string in pupdial.
Quote:
Ln Controls speaker volume (internals only).
L0 Low volume
L1 Low volume
L2 Medium volume
L3 High volume

Mn Operates speaker.
M0 Speaker always OFF.
M1 Speaker ON until CONNECT.
M2 Speaker always ON.
M3 Speaker ON after dial, until CONNECT.
Choose whichever is appropriate and append it the pupdial's "Initialisation string 3", which I have as:
ATQ0V1E1S0=0&C1&D2S11=55+FCLASS=0
In my case, to kill the sound altogether, I would use:
ATM0Q0V1E1S0=0&C1&D2S11=55+FCLASS=0

EDIT: I have tested this successfully, but find that the "M0" cannot go at the end of the string. I expect it can go anywhere before the "S0=", at least it works for me. So I suggest just putting it after the "AT", since it works.

the comment character is in the wrong place.

Pudd works differently on my machine. I ask it to back up /dev/sda1 and it selects "/dev/sda1 /dev/sda12", the latter being an OpenBSD internal partition (I'm surprised it can see it - gparted can't). When the copy takes place, the image file is only 20 bytes long.

I wonder if anyone uses Pudd? Never tried it before.

Subject description: Abiword GUI crash		  
Jens reported this bug in the 431 release candidate (Abiword crashes on attempt to select Format=>Create and Modify Styles)
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=47671&start=46

Confirmed in the final; a quick peek at the Abisuite bugtracker just tells me I'm out out of my depth in there i.e. I'm still not sure whether it's Abi-specific or a build issue.

Although it is easy enough for the savvy to workaround by editing the normal.awt file manually, this bug is quite vexing and could be a serious turnoff for our non-savvy refugees.

PostPosted: Tue 27 Oct 2009, 12:47    Post subject: Puppy 4.3.1 No Media Player
Subject description: Tried Several		  
For some reason I can't access a media player or play any videos with my frugal install of 431. Clicking on a video clip, clicking on the icon in the menu, or clicking on the program in ROX all result in no response at all. I can play videos with another frugal installation of Puppy (dpup), and I haven't had this problem with numerous other versions of Puppy. I have tried installing all the players available in the package manager, with no positive results. This is annoying.

I've used pudd on numerous occasions without problem.
Things are different with 4.31.
Gparted in 4.31 makes partitions with 256 inodes; these partitions
can't be seen by earlier versions of gparted.
While I was able to get 4 different pups on 2 drives to boot by
changing grub on mbr to the 4.31 version; and pudd seems to
be working; I'm still struggling trying to make sense out of what
gparted is saying.

Thank you for Puppy and for featuring the br-abnt2 keymap. Also, sorry for reporting this somewhat late.

Choosing br-abnt2 for the keyboard map at the first boot works perfectly with Xvesa but there's a little problem when one chooses Xorg. In this case xorg.conf is set like this:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier  "Keyboard0"
   Driver      "kbd"
   Option      "XkbRules" "xorg"
   Option      "XkbModel" "pc102"
   Option      "XkbLayout" "br" #xkeymap0
EndSection

which doesn't work. The correct setting is:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier  "Keyboard0"
   Driver      "kbd"
   Option      "XkbRules" "xorg"
   Option      "XkbModel" "abnt2"
   Option      "XkbLayout" "br" #xkeymap0
EndSection
