Creating the file allowed me to successfully create users although I'm still getting errors. I wonder if I installed something that installed part of the shadow package but not the whole thing. I ask this because I thought that adduser was linked to busybox on tharpup. Maybe this changed in 6.0.6 though.

Anway here are the errors I'm getting in /var/log/messages

xyz, they're typically changed in "Settings," Advanced.

If Chromium doesn't offer the option, strip your language pak out of something like this.

Depending on where you're installed, stick it in /usr/lib/chromium/locales with Chromium closed.

(SOLVED)
Today i plug in my Tahrpup 6.0.6 uefi (32 bit) frugal installed 8GB pendrive to DELL OPTIPLEX 7020 desktop. It boots normally, just that my keyboard and mouse are not working.

I tried a few methods:
1. Unplug keyboard and mouse, and plug them back into different usb port. (fail)
2. REboot, and i can type in Xorg. The keyboard is working, because when i press Caps Lock and Num Lock, the LED is turned on. But as soon as boot into Tahrpup desktop, the keyboard and mouse not working.
3. Try to boot my pendrive in other laptop (Compaq Presario C700), no problem with / without the save file.
4. Boot with Tahrpup live usb (Keyboard and mouse working)

Is there a way or command in Xorg to make Tahrpup search for my keyboard and mouse again?

edit 09/04/2019: I recreated Tahrpup save file on the Dell newer pc, and try to boot from different older laptops. Now everything is fine. All keyboard and mouse are active and detected once booted up. Conclusion, there might be problem with the save file we created. If anyone encounter same issue in the future, recreate your savefile on another pc, and test again. This might solved your problem.

Guys,

Tahr 605 , 32bit, "sfs_load" popping-the-stack

Have been tracing the flow of code in Slacko, Tahr, Xenial, UpupBB.
Tracing visually thru rc.sysinit, rc.shudown, sfs_load, rc.update, fixmenus.

My tracing is a simple hard code message to /dev/console
with a sleep 3 .

"sfs_load" may be called 3 times during the begin/end of 'rc.sysinit'.
It exits via "finish()" and an "exit",
but there are some extra tests also.

So, ... after all the code in rc.sysinit runs through,
and you get to the bottom, I placed a "read".
Also tried a simple "sleep 7" but the effect is the same..

You wait, and "sfs_load" will start up again,
then test out like "previously-run".
My trace code from "finish()" has run display to the screen.

I have tried replacing what I think is the offending "exit"
with a "return", but the effect is the same.
... the extra "sfs_load" will run after "rc.sysinit" is finished
as if there is a call on the stack waiting to be popped.

So, not a fatal problem.
Just something that an old geeky geezer tinkers with !
