Since the last couple of days, I am unable to shutdown Puppy from the menu. The ONLY was I can shutdown the system is by exiting to a prompt (I can still end an X session), and then type in "poweroff" at the prompt.
What gives? I am running Precise v5.7.1 on a Dell D610 Notebook. It's a full install on an ext2 filesystem (I'm pretty sure it's ext2, but I'm at work right now...lol)

The scripts are
/usr/bin/restartwm
/usr/bin/wmexit
/usr/bin/wmreboot
/usr/bin/wmpoweroff
.
They wait up to one minute , until pup_event_frontend_d has exited .
Perhaps this delay is confusing you .
So check the scripts and run them from terminal , instead from the menu .
If run from the menu , errors would log into /tmp/xerrs.log .
/tmp/xerrs.log will be written new , if you run xwin again from the prompt .
To view /tmp/xerrs.log at the prompt for hints :
Other than pup_event_frontend_d : Could be sudo'ers changes .
And for ext2 :
would turn it into ext3 with journal .
BTW : Does the scheduled filesystem checks in /sbin/init work for you in the full install ?

Code: Select all
-sh # less /tmp/xerrs.log

Code: Select all
tune2fs -j /dev/sda1
