That's what backups are for 
...what, you didn't make backups?! Meh, it's OK, I don't either  I'm lazy (and apparently both penny-wise and pound-foolish!).

I fixed jwm_tools to remove duplicate entries (your fix probably broke with submenus enabled, though I didn't test it) ... also added support for keybindings _________________ Puppy Web Desktop Now with pet packages - Pet Packaging 100 & 101 |

cool, I 'll have a look... I tested my fix with and without submenus, seemed to work fine.. But if u got a shell only solution, I'll apply that instead. _________________ Akita Linux, VLC-GTK, Pup Search, Pup File Search |

I just uploaded firefox-7.0.1-1-akita.pet - works great! I added adblock, flashblock, betterprivacy, video downloader to the last one 
but this one also uses ubuntu fonts, has ghostery addon, better settings... (both based on Tmans firefox builds, so thanks to him) MIME type issues: affects Akita, I guess: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=73833 Note on better support for Asian languages (or fonts at least): http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=586467#586467 Also, jemimah is planning an update to frisbee, have to see how that goes... and, sorry to post here, it's a whole to do list... in case my PC explodes, catches fire or has a heart attack
feel free to take any of that on... _________________ Akita Linux, VLC-GTK, Pup Search, Pup File Search |

I think GParted (or libparted) may be broken in Akita.. Can someone please help me test this? I failed to make changes to an HD with Akita, but Pup 431 worked fine :/ Not good... Can anyone verify whether or not GParted is brokon in Akita? _________________ Akita Linux, VLC-GTK, Pup Search, Pup File Search |

Hi Scott, just wanted to let you know. Did a quick test, and it is broken. Tried to delete a partition, and it failed. Thanks, Rob |

Damn it... I don't know if it would be libparted or Gparted, but I am using exactly the same packages as Wary 5.1.2 (I think, will double check..) and the same deps as in Wary too... Hmmmm... Can't promise I can fix that without going back to a pup4 Gparted package... EDIT: I have had some success with GParted in Akita, and some of the failures also happened in Puppy 431, but GParted in 431 is generally much more reliable for me in my brief tests... _________________ Akita Linux, VLC-GTK, Pup Search, Pup File Search |

I'm surprised noone has tried to replace gparted with red hat's disk utils. Gparted requires several extra dependencies that are not used by anything else (the C++ versions of gtk - gtkmm,...) ... Then again gnome-disk-utils has its own set of many smaller dependencies, but many are useful to other programs. _________________ Puppy Web Desktop Now with pet packages - Pet Packaging 100 & 101 |

I was trying puplite 5 and scott directed me here. downloaded the beta and burned onto a cd. tried on a pentium 4 machine, things do seem to work. tried on a pentium 3 machine, cannot use a save file. I created save files either normal or encrypted (ext2), the subsequent boot gave kernel panic. Can only boot to ram on this machine, which is the one I really want to use a lighter system. the machine is P3 933 mhz with 512 mb of ram. any suggestions? thanks |

Hmmm, not sure... Does the save file get created OK? Can you mount it when booting without save files (using 'pfix=ram')? Have you tried a frugal install to the same HD as the save file? You can use the 'Frugal Installer' to do that... So for now, from Live CD, try removing the 'usbsave' pfix option from the boot commands? (You can press 'e' to edit any boot entry in GRUB)..
Maybe, lastly, create a swap partition of swap file?? This is good for RAM limited PCs, although 512MB should be fine.. And just to be really annoying and waste all your time, GParted is broken in Akita at the moment, so you'd have to create a swap partition using another pup.. But Akita includes the "Swap File Manager" in Menu->System, so that's nice
This could be done without a save file, and it might help... But I can't say it's a 'fix'... _________________ Akita Linux, VLC-GTK, Pup Search, Pup File Search |

there is a swap file. yes, the only way to boot is pfix=ram the save files are created ok and mounted ok in subsequent reboots. It's after that the kernel panicked. |

Hi loubapache.
Well, if you don't like experiments just take a 'Classic Pup 2.14X', as far as I know the latest version is 'Top9' - put it onto your P3 pc, via frugal or full installation - create a swap partition - and let the Puppy fly. You can find 'Classic Pup 2.14X' in the projects forum, simply look for the greatest thread of the Puppy forums with more than 310 pages, more than 4650 posts and more than 731000 views - It's one of the best Puppies. Hope this helps. Cheers

Thanks, maik.murks . Will give it a try. Hope it has some reasonably modern apps. |
