Thanks for the confirmation. I'll back up the save file and install Shinobar's pet. Are you using the latest, 2.2.6? First, though, might try that code change that Moat pointed out, just to see what happens. Right now Puppy 528 05 is on a 2 gb USB stick, for experimenting, so I want to control rewri...

Hi, Moat. Thanks for that reminder. I saw that post by Bruce B but just forgot it. Will try it within a day or two. But, I would much appreciate if you explain what it means to: 1. Write the file "/etc/.XLOADED with the data false with no line end" 2. "set it as immutable". Hi, m...

Fwiw, the method described in post 1 still works for Puppy 5.2.8.05. You still get a harmless warning during restart.

If I had a tiny bit more courage I would try some of those dialog options. Has anyone used them enough to say they work without fail?

Thanks.

The method in the 5th post in this thread, (by bill 01 Dec 2012) still works OK in Puppy 5.2.8.005 as of 05 may 2015. Using it now. You still get the warning during restart, and it is still harmless. The original post from 20 Feb 2011 is here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=65016

Thank you. Very informative reply. I'm sorry to not know much about that odd boot difference. The reason I asked that question about the warning is that if I failed to click on "Ignore" during bootup, then the usb stick wouldn't boot next time. That is, if I remember rightly.

Hi, Mechanic_Kharkov. A question, if I may?

Does the "X seems have exited uncleanly.." message still appear the next time puppy is started? Thanks. Interesting setup you have, btw.

I have been using the configuration described in the first post for puppy 525 . - It has worked OK since then. - Nothing saves at shutdown. - The unclean shutdown warning indeed seems to be harmless. - Anytime you do want to save something, just click the save to flash bullseye (I renamed that bulls...

Any other ideas?

+1. In case I goof something up, easy to fix it.
I see that as a dialog at shutdown: "Last Save Was Feb 23 2011 at 18:42:55. Save Subsequent Changes?"

Yes, thank you, shadow of viper & Sylvander & MochiMoppel, & sergey. Understanding is increasing ...

I must say that members here are very knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks very much for coming forward to help a guy on his first post. Sylvander, I fixed that code. You were right, It did have errors. Got it right, character for character this time. Still no joy. Later I want to try those edits again...

Lots of goodies indeed. I'll check them out. :-) Sadly, cannot get the dialog code to work in Puppy 5.20. Went back and un commented all the lines I had done before. Went to "#the above are in unionfs at /." and inserted the code. That section now reads like this, copied directly from rc.s...

Thank you. I just checked your link. Thats where the idea really came from. Couldn't find it before. I had forgotten to mention that part by Sylvander about "Go to "Menu->System->Puppy Event Manager->save session->save Interval", and set the value to zero [actually 0] minutes, and OK ...

Hello. First post here. Thank you for the excellent software Puppy 520. It is the best thing since sliced bread. I am new to this linux business, and certainly not a coder, so if I say something goofy please correct me. :-) I am running Puppy 5.20 (now 5.25) on a 4 gb usb stick w/ 2 partitions: ext3...
