cheers charlie6

i've added a fix but it's a bit bodgy ... it launches alsamixer in a new rxvt window ... not sure why urxvt closes ... maybe keybindings

[keyboard]

I am new to puppy linux but I hope this counts as a bug because a lot of people helped to get around it and it took time for me to fix it. Iron does not runs as spot I also have posted the probable reasons:

if it is possible please fix them.

thanks

Resize of height doesn't works of SFS downloader window.

Image is attached, how could one click the "ok" button ?

quick solution right click on title bar click "move" on the context menu, move it with arrow keys till you see okay button

hi keyboard,

the problem is that different browser .pets of the same browser can install in different locations. iron from quickpet installs to /usr/lib , the iron.deb from the website installs to /usr/share and one off the forum may install to /opt.
i'll look into it though.

as for 'sfsget' .... yes that window has gotten far too big! i'll probably be moving all the kernel-source.sfs to the same locations as the kernels which will solve the problem although a resizable gui would be nice ... any takers
in the mean time you can hold 'left alt' and move the window with the mouse

I use LxPup TAHR version (so it's like tahrpup)

Very important bugs I guess because they kill the whole benefit of puppy.

1)SHUTDOWN PROBLEM : The first time, no problem but the second shutdown = no terminal with "saving session" etc and then it shut down BUT the PC was still ON ! (the monitor automatically went to sleep though)
It happens all the time but the first shutdown. So maybe it's related to the savefile.

2)And when I restarted I lost all the new things I had done from the whole entire session. I guess it's not the first time it happens ! Maybe it's linked to the shutdown problem !
EDIT : I checked my savefile and it says it has been updated last today at 8PM but it's actually 4:40PM here haha, and my computer is showing this ! Anyway, in skype (which is bugging) it says it's 11:40PM so it means it's been
11.40 - 8 = 3.40 HOURS without saving. No idea why !
Using puppy on a live CD + savefile on USB stick in fat32
But apparently, it doesn't SAVE !! (However I guess it saves when you do a reboot)

3) And another thing, after some hours on puppy (lxpup tahr) it started to freeze regularly for a few seconds... Even after I closed a lot of the opened programs and my automatic save is set to every 60 minutes so it's not that.

[Semme]

OK, FAT32. Which program handled the format? How about the stick.. who makes it? Model?

Have you given one of these a spin on that old hardware?

[dancytron]

When you right click on a *.rar file in rox, you get a choice "unrar". When you select unrar you get a message box which says "Warning: you must install Rar or Unrar application to extract this archive. Available as a download from rar developer."

However, if you right click and choose open with xarchive, you can extract the rar file.

So, either delete the "unrar" right click menu item or install rar. . .

From this topic:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=97341

I have downloaded blender 2.69.0 from sfsget of tharpup 6.1 , added it in the list of BootManager: SFS files.(after dev).

Rebooted and blender is still does not in the menu, however it runs by typing it from the terminal.

Code: Select all

#blender

[666philb]

thanks dancytron & bigpup

fixed

[simes]

Sorry to say, an old problem seems to have been reintroduced in recent Puppies (not just tahrpup). The shutdown script hangs for about 5 mins if there is a Samba share mounted at the time. The current version of /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown has as the latest change, "#130217 01micko: relocate umount of network shares" (I quote this line just to identify the version, I'm not saying this change has caused the problem... but it might have!). I have have tried to read the code to correct the problem but not solved it yet - it is 696 lines long! Is anyone more familiar with rc.shutdown and able to help please?

[rcrsn51]

@simes: How are you mounting these shares? By hand or using a Samba client tool?

Hello rcrsn51... I always mount the shares using YASSM. Thanks for your interest in this,

Meh... I had a better solution, modified the script... because even you have moved the kernel-source.sfs (not sure, as I don't remember all the sfs files to check) the sfsget window was larger that the height of the screen and I couldn't even re-size it via mouse/touchpad.

Please add this updated sfsget (or similar) in your "bugfixes" section of the quickpet

also , there was a spelling error , in 95th line of the old sfsget script

Code: Select all

echo "$SFS_REPOS0" > /tmp/petget_repos #used by /usr/local/pteget/testurls.sh

it should be petget not pteget in the comment which shows the path of testurls.sh

Hold on I am posting the new script... The script is long might not make it one post so posting it in another...

Love unix philosophy check the previous two posts from this one( my English is not that good so excuse me for it.)

[rcrsn51]

I always mount the shares using YASSM.

YASSM has its own shutdown script /etc/init.d/rc.yassm. I checked and it's working.

What kind of Puppy install do you have?

What kind of shares are mounted? In what filesystems are they located?

What are the names of the shares that are not being unmounted?

[666philb]

hi keyboard,

thanks for working on this !

the script isn't working yet ... this is line at the end of the script

Code: Select all

download_file ${DOWNLOADFROM}/${SFS_DIR}/${SFS_FILE}

your script passes this

Code: Select all

http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/puppylinux/pet_packages-tahr/

when it should be this

Code: Select all

http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/puppylinux/pet_packages-tahr/spotify-0.9.4_tahr_5.8.3.sfs

the value of ${SFS_FILE} is missing

[rufwoof]

I have the same problem, for both PAE and non PAE versions : boot to black screen, ctl-alt-backspace and xorgwizard gives just the one option. Boot with nox and it locks up at the select country textual type menu

Yes, the YASSM shutdown script is working. I don't think the problem is in YASSM. If I unmount my network shares first using YASSM, then shutdown is clean. However, the YASSM script isn't called by rc.shutdown, which issues its own umount commands. Obviously I have a workaround there, but I would prefer that rc.shutdown did the job cleanly.

Now something strange. Today I have installed the same Puppy version on a different PC and that shuts down cleanly using rc.shutdown even when the same shares are mounted. So there must be a difference in the two installations and I haven't yet worked out what it is. I need to do that first and if I can answer this problem myself I'll post it here.

BTW the Puppy installs are all frugal and the shares are all EXT2 drives.
