Failure with PUPMODE=7

#152 Post by shinobar »

thanks puppynoob101 and thkn777 for the report.
I could reproduce the failure with PUPMODE=7.

Currently it does not support PUPMODE=7 (saving session in entire partition on a flash device).
Use the bootmanager to load sfs.
But i recommend to make a fresh install and save your session in a file to make PUPMODE=13, not to the entire partition.

EDIT: sfs_load v.1.3 supports PUPMODE=7, but i still recommend saving your session in a file(so that the PUPMODE=13), not to the partition.

added to wiki
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/SFSLoad

also have you seen, SFSdirloader, seems like SFSLoad has a similar function?

Yes but as I remember????? SFSdirloader does not work on all puppies.

I had to do very time consuming manual editing for it to work on my lupu513 that actually are a Snow Puppy 5. And I have forgotten how
to do it again if I would need to add anything.

So I would instead recomment either Shinobar's load on the fly
or Seaside's SFS-Exec which is more manual but that one can fail too
and it has no error checking. One can load same file twice and it would
not complain about it. One have to keep track of what one have loaded
and not using pencil or pen or memory or write it on some notes digitally
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

seems like sfsdirloader isn't reliable, have you had good experience with SFSLoad?

may take SFSdirloader off wiki filesystem page here-

To be fair to Seaside he does tell under what circumstances
it does work reliably. His set up at home. So if the one I use
differ then he had no way of testing this at his home :)

So it is a bit of a lottery or know how but it is reliable at his place :)

Nope have only tested these and not the one you mention most likely

There is a problem with the way some SFSs are packaged

SFS-jre-1.7.0.01-20111027.sfs

and

google-earth_6.2.2074.sfs

see thread:-

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 949#586949

The permission setting breaks CUPS, is there a way SFS Load could detect and even work around this problem?

Tnx darkcity for the report. But maybe nothing the SFS_load can do for this.

It also helps to backup/restore your cups permissions. cups_filemanager.pet should work.

Spanish locale for sfs_load

#162 Post by ferro10n »

I haven't seen a Spanish translation for this app. Just in case, I made one

EDIT :oops:

Checked and had to correct a couple of mistakes, if you use the former file users will believe they're unloading an SFS when they're actually downloading one from the Internet. Please use this file instead.

Tnx for the report. Maybe it does not work on Puppy-4.0 and older.
(There are no report on Puppy 3.x.)

Here is a small patch for the afterwork to deal with the icon cache and to compile glib schemas. I haven't tested it yet.

shinobar, Would you say that 1.2 or 1.3 would be better for Lucid 5.2.8? One person (Tman) thought 1.2 might be better. Thanks.

In any case 1.3 would be better, i suppose.
v1.3 has many fixes from v1.2, and i still have not found new bugs in v1.3.

sfs_load-1.3 on-the-fly

#170 Post by RSH »

Hi,

i can confirm this "strange behavior" of sfs_load-1.3 like Tman described. But i did not take it as a bug, because i do use my home workstation 100% in live mode (without pupsave) and have been warned before loading the sfs. By using no pupsave at all there is no trouble after reboot. It is a LazY Puppy build in feature.

So, though that strange behavior: to me it seems all fine, but would be better if it would unload the sfs at all times. :)
