Thanks for the fast reply. Unfortunately, I went through how to search the forums and actually searching and experimenting on my own for a few days before signing up and asking for help. Thanks anyway. I'm the new guy and now I know my place.

jim3630, Yes. These are the same as in 3HD Three-Headed Dog.
The most relevant differences now between Lucid 5.2.8 and 3HD are 1) that 3HD uses the 2.6.37.6 kernel, and 2) 3HD Version 2 has upgraded multimedia by default. But as far as I know everything that will run in 5.2.8 will run in 3HD--but as soon as I say that something will probably turn up  |
ain't that the truth. thanks for the info after mixing browsers in the past, but that was 3HD and slacko, thought better check.

Updated patch package for next instant update
Subject description: Superceded by patch-6 on next page of thread. |
|
playdayz,
After holding off for addition of more fixes, I need to post my collection of fixes now to support the users reporting problems with sound and, particularly the intel HDA driver. The package includes the content of "patch-4', so replaces it (or can be installed on top of "-4" or after uninstalling "-4").
One of the fixes relates to the verification that a module is loaded. A module with a name that includes hyphens (-) may be erroneously deemed to be not present, which could disrupt the startup of sound cards, if there is a delay in the loading process. Anyone with a sound card problem should install this patch, to rule out this bug as a cause of failure of the sound function.
Another included fix is the adoption of Barry's fix to the rc.shutdown script, which he explains in his blog. Anyone experiencing hangs at shutdown with partitions mounted should install this package.
I will itemize the fixes later, but need to make this available to the users with sound issues.
Richard

Re: bootflash

I just want to report that it can work flawlessly for ALL COMPUTER THAT CAN BOOT FROM USB only if you format the usb flash using "bootflash USB installer" thus using the whole usb flash and fat32 format.
If you use "universal USB installer" or try to change the partition in any way, then the usb will either not boot at all or the old problem reappear or it will only work in a very few modern computer.
BTW, maybe it is better if this forum in sorted from the latest date first ?? |
When I went from Lucid 5.2 to 5.2.5 on my work computer with no hard drive, I was no longer able to boot from my flash drive. I tried using the update pet to fix it but was unsuccessful and did not spend more time on it. I just used a CD and my lupusave on my flashdrive.
With 5.2.8, I am able to boot from my flash drive again. I moved my files (including my lupusave), used the Universal Installer to update my flash drive, then moved the files back. My computer at work is an old Dell with 512 megs of RAM.

The offending code in my script is | Code: | | if [ "`top -n 1 | grep Pupsave-backup`" ]; then |
Why that would crash jwm is beyond me.
I'll upload a new pet complete with menu tomorrow. If you would like to use it, feel free.
| Quote: | | Add, question. The backup had the icon of a binary and no sfs extension. Could you explain how that works. Why not back it up with the sfs extension? I added an sfs extension but then I got a message that it was an sfs3 filesystem? Thanks again. |
The save file extension would be 2fs or 3fs depending on the partition type, not sfs. I set it up to append the date/time so it would not show up in the boot screen, since it is a backup.
Regards

I have recreated the problem on a different computer and I can tell you how to reproduce it. There is definitely a conflict with jwm and my script in 5.28. It takes my script to make it happen. 
It does not have to be 'installed' it just has to be run from a jwm menu.
Put the script in /root/my-applications/bin and a desktop file to run it in the usual place.
Fixmenus.
Run the script from the openbox menu.
Switch to jwm and run from the jwm menu. At this point my desktop will lock up.
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, xwin.
Use the WM switcher to change to openbox. If the taskbar hasn't vanished, reboot.
My openbox taskbar is gone.
Open pfbpanel from the menu and look at the 'Enter maximum width of taskbar' field. Mine is now set to 150. Change it to match your display width, click OK in the first tab. My taskbar is back.
Whatever causes jwm to lock up somehow borks the taskbar configuration in openbox.
I just had a thought while writing this. Unfortunately I don't have time to put it to the test until tonight.
I'll report back.
Could anyone tell me how to list all exported bash variables from the terminal? I wonder if one of my exported variables is clobbering an existing one.

Re: No Sound

Solution:
I then will compare the two savefiles to see what is different. It must be something in the two laptop configurations that caused the sound to go away or be blocked.
Any clue's as to where I should start looking?

Basic workings of a save file. When you make a save file, it contains settings and configurations for the computer it was made on. Those setting are specific for that computer and used by Puppy when booted.
Those settings and configurations will not work on a different computer.
A separate save file is needed for each computer.
A USB flash drive will boot fresh on any computer, but when you make a save file, you have dedicated it to that computer.
To use on another computer.
Boot with option puppy pfix=ram
make a new save file for this computer.
Now when you boot Puppy you get option to choose which save file to use.
