@01micko,
Will this new PUI, give me the opportunity to install into empty space?

Scenario:
Before trying to install Puppy on a Windows 8 box, I booted into windows and did a shrink of the C: drive of 20GB.
I now have 20GB of empty space on the hard disk.
I then boot Puppy from a CD and run the new PUI to install puppy on my hard drive.
Will my 20GB of empty space be simply ignored?

Sorry Mick, I couldn't help it :D

Please do whatever you want with it - ignore it, trash it, smash it, ...
I have only replaced the Xdialog main gui with gtkdialog.
New icons are uploaded to Woof
The diff is based on your latest upload of puppyinstaller with the windows fix

PUI and Hibernation on a particular partition

#394 Post by gcmartin »

Sorry,I'm late to the table on the NTFS issue of PUI and Windows Hibernation.

But, I must ask,
  • ISn't there a simple method to detect an active hibernation and "advise/not-allow" use of that in PUI? If so, would that simple test be enough to address that concern?
  • Or, is there some other partition detection technology that Microsoft employs that would be hampered when the Windows system restarts (other than hibernation)?
Just wondering how to remove the concerns about NTFS use. (NTFS is just a filesystem that one OS is dominant in its use. And, should not pose much of any concern in effort, if hibernation is the only issue. Has to be a flag present somewhere on partition...if hibernation is presently active.)

Hope this helps

From /bin/mount, regarding ntfs-3g's exit codes:
#v4.00 ntfs-3g v1.2412 does not have 4,10, has 15 for dirty f.s., 14 hiberneted...

tas-1.7, slight update.
I have also seen new mtPaint and JWM is quite far ahead s933.

TAS, jwm, ntfs (I don't want or need to encourage it.. what is is good enough -re ntfs) is all duly noted.

More importantly - changes to initrd;rc.sysinit;sfs_load - sorry but my time frame is reducing :roll:

Anyway.. PUI has progressed somewhat with ziggy's input. On that note I'd like some improvements: shinobar's dotpup - notebook method preferred; but code to include the extras, especially the 'frugal installer' and the 'f2fs-usb-installer' - which may or may not be included.

And below is latest PUI at my end. (install script is there because icons are brand new at woof level)

Test please. :twisted:

NEWER one in lower post

The checkbox does nothing, if Win is on second partition:
sda1_button=true
sda2_button=false
sda3_button=true
so the while loop breaks on the first iteration and $action is null.

Some real tests (in unreal enviroment - VBox):
- frugal install to SD card (seen as USB) - ok
- frugal install to internal HDD (sda2) - ok.
- full install to internal HDD (sda2) - ok.

I downloaded the pui-experimental.tar.gz file and unpacked it in a
hold directory, entered the hold/pui directory and did sh install, then
sh puppyinstaller-z
It installed to a 32gb usb 3.0 flash drive that I had prepared in gparted
(formatted to ext4 and boot flag set)
Installed from cd (read files from cd)

Shutdown,turned on laptop, it booted from the flash drive.

This is maybe a start? Based on shinobars work.
Code is found at https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... bin/dotpup
I think there should have been an explanation somewhere what frugal and full install is...

How about including Frugal Installer or a similar utility? I mean, there's a wizard for full install, why not a wizard for frugal as well?

Did the grub4dos_func() work as expected?

Covered :wink:

Can you check translations when we are finished please? Won't be long and it would be nice to have at least a couple of translations ready to roll.

Yes, it got invoked, from what I recall, but only in test No. 2 (frugal -> sda2), not 3 (full -> sda2).

Thanks! Yeah I didn't get to invoking it for full yet. Also, now I have removed the break so if 'doze is not on (0,0) it still works.

Made a manual of sorts, well more of an 'info' page for puppy installation. I think I'll commit it to woof.

PUI now seems a bit nicer, mainly needs testing. I desecrated ziggy's gui by adding a 'help' button leading to my new page which hopefully answer some noobish questions.

Same format, an install script as it's not meant to be a pet but a part of woof.

I took another stab at pui-experimental2.tar.gz and got it right this
time,the puppy universal installer from the menu had all the icons
etc after running the install file inside pui-experimental2.tar.gz.

I ran the pui from my last install on the 32gb flash drive, I chose
a 16gb flash drive and a screen with gparted info came up from which I
prepared the target drive, then back to continue the
installation.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New installation running from a hp desktop:

I installed the newest proprietary nvidia driver and it gave errors about not knowing the
architechure of several files but it is working fine:

Working well.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

@01micko

I added your pui-experimental2.tar.gz to my tahrpup 582 install and it
worked, added it again to the new flash drive install that it created
(screenshot)
The latest NVIDIA-Linux-x86-331.89.run proprietary driver compiled
without errors in tahrpup.

I'm on it. Note that there's a separate langpack_es for Woof-CE:

This one applies to Slacko 5.7+, TahrPup and FluxPup so far, I'll let you know when Slacko 6 translations are ready. Xanad adopted the same approach for Italian:

Also, as there's been a lot of changes just now, maybe it's a good idea to rename langpacks by Puppy version instead of release date.

You should also PM the other translators for updates, so that the langpacks can be installed by PPM. (Is it still called PPM? :lol: Kidding)

Confirmed, it's ok now, thanks!

I noticed that libuuid in Slacko-5.9.x is not patched for f2fs, what causes problems in pup-volume-monitor, as Peebee have reported (details).

[forecaster_mode] I hope it will be possible to resolve it otherwise, but if you decide to restore the old util-linux-2.21.2-patched_f2fs-i486, could you please also include missing header files (esp. uuid.h) into it? I was having problems compiling some of apps in Slacko-5.7 without those. [/forecaster_mode] ;)

Greetings!

I already noticed and already compiled, but I'm still trying to figure out exactly what is needed in the package. I'm thinking sfdisk will be nice to have. Slackware util-linux includes bsd-strings, so I might just do it ala slackware. I'll probably have to do the same for precise if headers are missing from BK's old package.
