Boots well, including the lovely 'next boot will be faster' text. I see my changes, works fine.
However, if I reboot again, a strange "Version update restoring 'official' files, please wait... " message appears. It seems that the original 431 version, or at least some portions of it, will be restored.
That's a good thing, what I get from it is that its installing your previous settings, like the example shown, your printer settings, so that you won't have to reinstall it, I could be wrong, but I never install anything, just run live.

I'm getting this too. The interesting bit is that I deleted the previous install, so it couldn't be installing the previous settings.

The pet fixing the installer worked wonders. :D

The pet fixing the failed shutdown, well not so well. :oops:

It's still doing everything but cutting the power.

The splash screen on bootup from CD still reads 4.31.

Nice speed there. You are releasing new versions as fast as I can test them. :)

Back in 2007 or 8 I had that problem on an AOpen 915 with pupy400 and then when they made puppy431 and the problem was solved.

so it seems very hardware specific. It solved my problem but ended up on your HW instead.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

This may not be an overall solution but JamesC mentioned this earlier. Just add acpi=force to your kernel line in grub and your computer should poweroff with no issue.

I came across a really strange problem using SM2* in 4.3.1 Thursday. Usually, I connect via wireless LAN. One place I travel to has cabled network. Here, I normally just run the network wizard for an ip address, and Seamonkey 1.* uses that. SM2 just would not however.
Have not yet had a chance to try this with 4.3.2, and wont till next Thurs.

Been running a full install of v2 and it's running great . SeaMonkey is even beginning to grow on me. :)

Added Firefox 3.6.3 and Dillo 2.2 and both are working fine.I can't really find too much wrong to report........

Great job ttuuxxx...... :)

Test of V2

AMD Athlon(tm), 899,00MHz, 2009MB RAM ,

Problem: Resolution 1280x1024 pixels instead of 1680x1050 (Quirky10)
V2 xorg.conf
Driver "vesa" #card0driver
VendorName "Intel Corporation"

Suggestions

1. Replace mtPaint Screen Capture with Shot v1.0 having "Window Only"

2. Replace PartView with the enclosed pet which shows mounted drives as default with an option to show all drives. Showing all drives as default is slow on low-end hardware.

I'll replace PartView, but not Shot, its wayyyyyyy to big for what it does, actually pup-shots http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=387985 is 1/2 the size and way better.
But even that at 200kb is too large I could fit about 4-5 real nice small apps in that space, but once again this is a bug fix release. I'm debating on adding lameSMBxplorer 25kb, its starting to work well users are posting. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=50901

Fun and printer

#93 Post by Minnesota »

Most important :)... please add bejeweled and bubbles to the fun menu :).. we must have play.

Tested printer.. first error.. then I remembered reading you sent a pet fix.. now Brother HL-1440 prints test page fine. Composing and printing is VERY fast, some versions it takes quite a while to get from hitting print to printer. :) Thanks.

You can get rid of gfnrename as it can't cope with spaces when I tried to do a search and replace batch rename. Can you also replace all those Calculators with galculator if you have not all ready? I am also making a large 7z of updates I have for you :) and may be a possible extras 7z :D.

I agree but I can't, Barry dropped tcl/tk from 4.2 when he moved to 4.3, adding those games would bring it back at a cost of around 1.5mb compressed, Sorry, I would but the size cost is too much, when this version is already over budgeted for size.
