Now that I do not have to guess at what you have for memory.
Low memory is not your issue, unless you got a memory stick going bad.
If you boot Puppy from something other than the hard drive.
Hard drive cannot be mounted to do this.
Run Gparted.
Right click on a unmounted partition.
Select check.
It will do a file system check and correct anything it finds wrong. Basically checking the format, which is the file system.
The recent versions of Firefox have been a little buggy with Puppy versions, they do require some much newer support files/programs that the Puppy version may not have.
With Firefox it seems to be a moving target what is needed to run Firefox. Just when you get everything setup, they change some dependency requirement.
That was one big reason to offer Tahrpup with PaleMoon browser. The developers of PaleMoon are not constantly trying to require the latest and greatest in support files/programs.
So far, all you do is update PaleMoon with the PaleMoon- updater and it just works.

Well, It didn't worked.
Time to nuke.

PaleMoon updater and Spot
Tahr 6.0.6 amd64 woofCE'd.
At initial setup I set palemoon to run under userid spot. Set up bookmarks and add in's, all running well and restricted to /root/spot ... later used the menu, internet, palemoon updater to upgrade PaleMoon from 27.1 to 27.4. After upgrading and starting palemoon - all the boomarks and add-ins ... all gone !!!
Ran lsof -i to try and see if palemoon was still running as spot ... and found lsof is the busybox limited version, so installed lsof from puppy package manager and lsof -i indicated that palemoon was running as root.
Running Menu, Setup, QuickSetup first run settings ... and palemoon ticked as running under spot. I had to untick that and set it as running under root and then re-tick it again and set it to run under spot ... for the change to be recorded. Now starting palemoon and running (in a root terminal) lsof -i indicates all is well (palemoon running under spot) and bookmarks/addins all back to how they were before.
Looks like the palemoon updater needs to have additional code to reset it to be running under spot after a palemoon upgrade (if it was previously set to run under spot)

Re: tahr64-6.0.6 running smoothly with kernel 4.9.15
I woofce'd 6.0.6 selecting the 4.1.11 kernel that offered ... and the fonts were awful. Re-woofing (again using all the defaults) but selecting the 3.14.79 kernel and the fonts are beautiful. Whilst past EoL I'm sticking with the nicer look for the time being.belham2 wrote:Just wanted to give you a heads up, over the past week I've been running Tahr64-6.0.6 (latest woof-CE build + Phil's latest updates/additions, i.e. latest JWM + radky's FbBox-4.0) with kernel 4.9.15, and it all runs smoothly as far as I can tell.
Re: tahr64-6.0.6 running smoothly with kernel 4.9.15
Curious that changing kernels would affect font rendering, unless it has something to do with the video driver provided by the kernel?rufwoof wrote:I woofce'd 6.0.6 selecting the 4.1.11 kernel that offered ... and the fonts were awful.

Surprised me also. I wouldn't have thought that but for first having woof'd 32 bit default choices and used a old kernel, to then woof the 64 bit with a later kernel and seeing distinct differences in font quality. I suspected it was differences between the 32 bit and 64 bit versions, but for the next and most recent woof I went with 64 bit and that earlier LTS (now past eol) stable kernel.Curious that changing kernels would affect font rendering
I have a GT8600 Nvidia card (with 32" 720p TV as the monitor), but in each case I haven't installed nvidia - just left things with the default system handling (nouveau/mesa ??).
I tried all sorts of configuration with the 4.1.11 kernel version, autohint, hinting on/off ...etc. But no matter what I did the fonts were blurry(ish). With 3.14.79 ... no problems.
Both kernels were as per what woofCE offered/provided (as per the pick one off around 20+ kernel choices screen).
Weird.
woof'd 6.0.6 with 3.14.79 kernel, and if I boot with pfix=ram,nox ... it still loads X.
If I boot with xforcevesa nomodeset nouveau.modeset=0 kernel boot parameters (as I don't know which one actually does the business), the font appearance in that X session is very much like what I was seeing with the 4.1.11 kernel, which makes me think that 4.1.11 is perhaps missing nouveau/mesa modules/whatever.

for some reason, when I install the quickpet driver, run the aticonfig --initial command it breaks my system.
I'm starting to suspect that aticonfig--initial is not necessary with this driver.

SneekyLinux reviews Tahr 6.0.5 64bit ... 5 out of 5 (but did note problems with installing nvidia and pulseaudio). Also outlines (near the end of the longer than his usual videos) a possible £100/$120 hardware shopping list that could go well with Puppy.

Are the extra sfs's put in the psubdir?
Then how about putting them outside the psubdir?
As another fix, shinobar proposes sfs_load-3.0.3.pet
http://shinobar.server-on.net/puppy/opt ... -3.0.3.pet
It will load the sfs's which are in the psubdir.

It's a reboot after saving the session, rebooting again, running bugfix and installing DevX or other SFS from quickpet or downloading them from ibiblio.bigpup wrote: Is restart a reboot of the computer or just a restart of SFS-Load?

All additional sfs packages need to be located in /mnt/home.
The programs that load and unload additional sfs packages expect them to be in that location.
So, /mnt/home is the place to put them.
Why?
/mnt/home is outside of the Puppysave.
The sfs packages are just on the partition, not inside a directory.
So, put all the additional sfs packages in /mnt/home and see if you are still having problems.

when you install an SFS from quckpet, the SFS files are sent directly to /mnt/home and when you load them from another directory SFS-Load will ask you to move it to mnt/home.

What format is the partition Tahrpup64 6.0.6 is installed on?
Are you using a save file or save folder?
How much memory in computer?
Anything you may have done just before having this sfs load problem?
SFS Load is working OK for me.
Note:
I am using a different kernel source, because I changed kernel to one different than what comes in Tahrpup64 6.0.6
I have it using kernel 4.9.15.

RAM 8GB 7.75GB according to htop
other than format the partition and start over again nothing.
