i've been using the script for about 2 years now. i wrote it specifically because puppy's default filemnt script couldn't mount if there are spaces in the directory names.

BTW, simargl indeed quited the puppy forum. :shock:
However, AFAICS development continues 8)
Comments suggestions etc at archpup souceforge support or discussion
i like the default for those same reasons. deal breaker for me though is '/path/to/space in dir name/*.sfs' won't mount.

Nice to see sim's still working on archpup though.

BTW, Archpup puppy People, should we start an Archpup-13.2 thread even if simargl does not want to participate?

Sounds like an excellent idea to me. the new filemnt script also works perfect. it tends to go unnoticed but the filemnt script hasn't worked with spaces in puppy...as long as i've been using it. well done.

Does the 'create a save file' dialog from a new frugal install work for anyone? I haven't gotten it to work, not one time, on any ArchPup. It says it's creating, but it doesn't. I have to manually create the save file, and reboot so it'll load, and then make changes...

No problems here with 12.12-2 or 13.2.
Do you see anything strange if you run it from the terminal (makepfile.sh)?

I don't think I carry much weight here, but when doing your initial Create Savefile, I had to explicitly click on the volume (you'll see what I mean)...you can't just highlight it and press enter.

EDIT: Okay, we're up and running 13.2. BTW, the savefile presents no issues (whatever!)

Yeah, You cannot register on this forum

and torrent is "access denied"

I think I will stay here

What is this alternative forum anyway? A secret society? A state within the state.
like SS of puppy land?

that's well said mavrothal and gives the users a heads up that....there is a bit of a learning curve.

the system isn't overly hard to use though. the great part abt it is...at least for me, it has totally filled every gap. i no longer use two linuxes, one for this, and one for that...i use ArchPup for everything. Fast systems, slow, new, old, hard drive install, portable...everything.

1 spot though, that is accomplishable, is 64 bit.

You are right I'm a Puppy fascist :P

That's why its called 'Alternate' Forum and says at the top Alternate Forum for Puppy Linux Users - Go to Main Forum. Just maybe its a back up in case murga goes down?

That's right the link is just fool, don't use the login or the server will self-destruct:

use login: puppy@changed

xrandr -s 1280x1024

"xrandr -s NNNNxNNN" works at my end as long as you pick one of the available resolutions (typing only "xrandr" will give you a list of them).

If is not working see what /var/log/Xorg.0.log reports and the driver is using.

Code: Select all

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE # will show you the errors
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep Loading | grep drivers # will tell the video driver
You may also try to force your resolution by adding in /etc/X11/xorg.cong something like

Code: Select all

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Card0"
	Monitor    "Monitor0"
	DefaultDepth 24
	Subsection "Display"
		Depth       24
		Modes       "1366x768"
	EndSubsection
EndSection

is the kernel source available? if not that's a huge issue. u can't install virtualbox without it.

if the kernel source isn't available, i'm thinking we should remaster the main.sfs with a different kernel, that has the source available. retroprecise's non-pae kernel 3.2.32 has been working just fine for me......

Are you sure about that? I do not use VB but unless you need to compile an in-tree module you do not need the source.
Usually you need the headers to compile and these are available in devx.
Anyway, from what I can see the source is vanilla 3.4.28 patched with aufs but I do think simargl should provide it.
I'll ask and we'll see.

i may be wrong. i thought the kernel src was needed though to compile vboxdrv.ko vboxnetadp.ko vboxnetflt.ko and vboxpci.ko
